** Seconded. Bleach and Naruto were what got me into anime, but it was ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam SEED (Anime)|Gundam SEED]]'' ''and'' ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny (Anime)|Gundam SEED Destiny]]'' that made me stay. Clever plotting, sympathetic heroes and villains, [[Badass]] combat, and in--in my opinion--did the best job of any of the Gundam series of showing the effects of war on kids. And that's not getting into the characters. There isn't a character in this series I don't love in one way or another, whether for being a great person, for being a total monster I could love to hate, or something in between. The multiple points of view, the [[Grey and Gray Morality]] (and in the case of Seed Destiny, white and grey and black morality) all made both shows fascinating for me, and the reason I'm still watching anime. I've discovered many more since then, but Seed and Seed Destiny will always be my favourites.
* [[Irresponsible Captain Tylor]] is one of the best anime I've ever seen, and has profoundly affected my life. It has ''two'' of the most ''fantastic'' [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|Crowning Moments Of Awesome]] I've ever seen, and despite beginning as a totally episodic show ties everything together beautifully. The main moral of the show is "Do what you want, the way you want to," and that's really not a bad way to deal with things.
* This troper is not at all surprised that not only has neither Crows nor Worst been mentioned yet, they don't even have their own pages on the Wiki, and only Worst has a page on [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Worst_<!-- 28manga29%28manga%29 The Other Wiki]]. Really, Crows and Worst [[NeedsMoreLoveNeeds More Love|need more love]]. Crows and its sequel series Worst, both by Hiroshi Takahashi, follow a group of Japanese high school delinquents as they get into street fights, form factions, and generally just try to prove they're the best fighters around. They're kind of idealized delinquents; they don't do drugs, commit crimes (exceptions: assault, of course, and the occasional kidnapping by the villians), or even bully people (in fact, it's the opposite: they're more likely to attack the best fighter around than someone who can't or won't fight back). They're pretty much good kids who just [[BloodKnightBlood Knight|really like to get into fights]]. There are no mind-blowing plot twists, no incredible feats of strength/agility/whatever, no world-shaking, far-reaching events, and this troper, without a doubt, [[ProudToBeAGeekProud to Be A Geek|has nothing in common with the characters]]; yet I love the characters and I eagerly await each new chapter, which sucks me into the world of these young warriors and leaves me energetic and in a good mood. It helps that many of the characters are just [[BadassNormalBadass Normal|dripping with awesome]]. Worst is tied for my favorite series (with {{[[Fullmetal Alchemist}}]], in case you're curious) and Crows is easily a close 2nd. Please, at least check it out. -->
* ''[[Spice and Wolf]]''. It has very little [[Fan Service]] (some don't consider those scenes fanservice at all), despite one of the characters being a wolf-girl. Lawrence's business as a merchant is genuinely interesting. The romance is amazing, and the characters are realistic and mature. The character interaction is amazing, and may be the best part of the series.
** this troper agrees fully. the banter between the two is just amazing and it is really surprising how a series about being a merchant that actually teaches you stuff can be so entertaining.
