Hiya!

I really like Studio Ghibli, Fruits Basket, Tiny Snow Fairy Suger, Witch Hunter Robin, Cardcaptors etc.

I want to buy some new anime stuff but there is so-o much out there, I dont know where to start! Can anyone give me some recommendations?

What do you mean by anime stuff? As in more series/movies? or do you mean merchandise?

If you mean merchandise, i HIGHLY recommend anime scrolls. THey look great to anime viewers and non anime viewers alike. At aroun $20 apiece, they're great buys IMO.

I suggest work with the well known stuff (anime that's shown on toonami or adult swim) and then work your way from there. It seems you already have watched quite a bit of anime already you should be able to just look at anime descriptions and know what you like.That's what I would recommend you do and if you find an anime you're a little unsure if you would like you can always ask questions here and look it up in the encyclopedia here. Because not all anime has aired on T.V. so sometimes you just got to take the chance and see if you would like it.

In all fairness, you are kind of vauge in what you like, little Snow Sugar Fairy and Witch Hunter Robin are, well, quite a range, I spoiler[wonder if a sugar fairy is like marshmellows, in which case Robin would be great to have around for roasts around a camp fire.]

Seriously though, you seem to like female protaganists, some degree of the supernatural, cuteness is cool but not nessasary.

I would peruse the encycolpdia. I'd also consider:

Magic User's Club: About a girl who well want's to be a magic user and does some twisted stuff with it.

Nadia Secret of Blue Water: Based of the world of 10,000 Leauges Under the Sea.

Shrine of the Morning Mist: About girls recuited to deal with a supernatural threats to a Shinto Shrine and the world at large, and thier cooler, mostly smarter rivals who want spoiler[to return the world to nothingness. ]While not show with a lot of "buzz" it does seem like it might be to your taste and has some fairly cool storyline innovations and plays on the whole "magical girl" lines like spoiler["can't any one except Izumi come up with a non lame name for her attack". ]It's mostly a comedy but with some fairly dramatic moments here and there.

IMHO I think you might not be a big fan of series like those shown on Adult Swim or Toonami. But by all means check them out. But remember, there's a lot out there.

All the Best,

Nani?

If you're up for a challenge (plus you can find it), I would suggest Kodocha.

Very good story with comedy, drama, and well written characters. But, like i said, very hard to find.
