Alright.. I like magic, more.. darker stuff, EGL, shoujo.. I admit, I like Sailor Moon. The live action too. But It's not my favorite. The manga I like..

Under the Glass Moon, Princess Ai, Paradise Kiss, Crescent Moon, Angel Sanctary, Love Witch, Demon Diary. Is there any anime like Under the glass moon.princess ai.paradise kiss? Or anything you think I would like? The two anime that I do love besides sailor moon is.. Witch Hunter Robin & Vampire Princess Miyu. I had a huge wishlist of manga/movies/anime I wanted to check out, but my pc crashed. -sighs- So can anyone help me out here? Thanks. Smile Trigun/Cowboy Bebop/Inuyasha.. there fun to watch on adult swim, but I don't really like them that much.

Yeah, I've looked into those. They look okay I suppose. I also want to check out Magic Knight Rayearth, I have the rayearth DVD and it's pretty cool. But I really want an anime that's like the kind of manga I read.

Hunter X Hunter has a dark world. Ep49-62 gave me goose bumps at times. Excellent show Smile

I would recommend Fruits Basket.
The basic rundown is:
Tohru Honda, whose mother recently died, is living in a tent trying to fulfill her mother's wishes of finishing highschool. What she doesn't realise is that she is staying on the Sohma family's land. She ends up staying with Yuki (her classmate) his cousins Shigure and Kyo and ends up discovering their family secret. When they are embraced by memebers of the oppsite sex they transform into animals of the chinese zodiac! Very Happy Tohru's life has changed dramatically as she is now living in a strange (and comedic) household and must keep their secret to herself Very Happy
As the series progresses we learn more about the dark side of this secret and there are serious moments.
You'll enjoy this one for sure! Wink

Some anime movies you might want to check out are the Vampire Hunter D movies, Blood the Last Vampire, and Ninja Scroll and as for anime series there are Neon Genesis Evangelion which is always good for a watch, you might like Record of Lodoss War, and the Ninja Scroll TV series.

Oh yeah, and Hellsing. Don't know how I forgot that.

Well Dark anime is ok but if you like sailor moon i suggest you see Tokyo Mew Mew it's actually quite cute or maybe you should try like Aa Magamisama! (Ah! My Goddess) There actually quite good Wink

I would say the Trigun and Cowboy dub are better with the English cast, especially Vash because how hilarious his voice is during the comedy moment and how serious and sincere it is during the dramatic moment. Inuyasha has good dub too. If a person don't like these show, I doubt it's because of the language.

Try finding these titles:
Twilight of the Dark Master
Ninja Scroll
Pet Shop of Horrors
Darkside Blues

These realy do lean more on the morbid side of anime.

The pattern I noticed was the shows you like have a female protagonist while the 2 you didn't care as much for were shonen/aimed atr guys with the guys playing a larger part.
That in mind, you may not care for Vampire Hunter D, but Blood, the last Vampire might interest you. Twilight of the Dark Master also features a male lead. Bastard is Heavy Metal sword & sorcery--similar to Glass Moon--funny, the hero's a jerk, but the anime is old(92 or 92) so nothing outstanding & the 6 eps don't cover much of the 20-odd volumes of manga. I still fail to see why they animated the Kevin DuBrow(Quiet Riot singer) wizard & not the wizard (Ozzy) Osbourne.
In the Magical Girl/Sailor Moon mode-CardCaptor Sakura(very sweet. My Sailor Moon-loving daughter's major complaint against it)
Magic Knight Rayearth.
Wedding Peach-Sailor Moon Tongue in cheek--not as muchj as Glass Moon or Demon Diary talking to audience, but Sailor Moon production people involved & several bit seem poking fun at SM. I prefer it. The overall plot actually has me wondering if the Charmed writers have ever seen this (Angels vs Devils with the main character's romance reminding me of Cole & Phoebe).
There is a lot of dark/horror anime like Hellsing, Devilman, Demon Lord Dante, but the protagonists are male.
Have you seen the Angel Sanctuary anime? Short(2 or 4 eps), but it's interesting seeing them all moving around, & they do a pretty good psycho Rosiel.
Sorcerer Hunters is a comedy, but the plot turns pretty dark as Zaha tries to awaken the God of Destruction within Carrot to destroy the world
