lol, I've finished watching Clannad and Toradora a while ago, and I highly recomend both!
Toradora is a more light-hearted anime of the two and invlove a number of characters. Ryuuji is a high-schooler who accidently finds out about a crush that fellow school-mate, Tiga has on another guy. He also just so happens to be farily frendly with the guy, and the girl he has a crush on is also Tiga's best friend. Together the two of them team up to help each other get the people they like fall in love with them. (Not to metion the crazy drama-filled stuff that happens in the process)
Clannad is the longer of the two animes (50+ shows) and it invloves a guy named Toymoya who has some problems with his home life. At the start of his senior year he meets a girl named Nigisa who had to repeat her senior year due to illness. The both of them go through the new year trying to start a club and getting into a lot of trouble.
All in all the first season of Clannad is pretty light-hearted, with a bunch of stuff happening. The second season, however is an emotional roller-coster ride and will in all possiblity make you cry....a lot. no joke. It's a really good anime. ^^
Those are just some of the animes that I'll metion for now. You can watch both animes on youtube. I warn you ahead of time that Toradora has just been released not too long ago and as such has not been dubbed in enhlish as of yet.
Clannad's 1st season has been dubbed, but it's second season, Clannad:After Story, has not as of yet.
Check this thread often, because I'll be posting more animes that I recommend often, for now enjoy and please tell me whatcha think!! ^_^)-b

Im a little confused. That episode it was Fuko's birthday and blah blah blah.... And it seems that she was dead because she was something like a ghost. Plus, her sister, who I don't know what her name is, was getting married there. I live in the Philippines so maybe Im watching something with wrong filipino dub.

Well, I was a kid back then when I watched Prince of Tennis. Ive seen english dub episodes and it was HORRIBLE. And the sound was not synchroniced. I really hope you watch Hitman Reborn! (just watch some eps on youtube!)

Hope you enjoy Clannad. (Btw, when you get to 2nd season, I dare you not to cry, heheheh...) But, watch the 1st season first to understand everything, otherwise it's really kinda hard to follow.
heheheh, yeah, that's what I though too.....I usually don't cry, but man.... on a different note, I wonder how a girl would take this anime....? Anyways, enjoy!
I dunno. Anyway, other Anime you might know about: Utowarererurumono, Major season 1 to 5, My bride is a mermaid, and plenty of stuff I can't remember.

I'd also like to recomend the entire RockMan.EXE/Mega Man NT Warrior series. There are a total of 5 seasons starting at Rock Man. EXE/Mega Man NT Warrior, then Axess, Stream, Beast and ending on Beast+. The Entire 1st and 2nd seasons have been dubbed in English, afterwards the rest is in Japaneese with subs.
Stream, has not been subbed past the 4th ep. however, to my knowledge. But, it's pretty good.
Beast+'s eps are only 10 mins. long.
There is also a movie regarding the Anime known as: Rock Man.EXE: Program of Light and Darkness. It's a good movie that can stand alone, but it's better if you watch at least up to Stream to understand a lot of stuff.
Aside from that, the next Mega Man anime would be Ryuusei no Rockman or Mega Man Star Force. There is only 2 seasons to it the 1st and Tribe.
Part of the 1st season has been Dubbed, but only about half.
All eps for Star Force are only 10 min long.
And finally, you can watch a cool OVA of Mega Man X, known as the Day of Sigma. A really good OVA.
Most of these shows can be watched via Youtube, or you can google it. Enjoy!!
Info about Code Geass without spoilers: There are two seasons of Code Geass,Code Geass, and Code Geass R2: Lelouch of the Rebellion.
CODE GEASS R2: It features Lelouch, a 17 year old boy who doesn't know anything about his true memories. After an army raid in a casino(or something like that), Lelouch met CC, a mysterious woman, and gave him the power to control all. Oh, in his past, he was called "Zero" by the rebellion.
Lelouch Geass mode: LELOUCH vi BRUTANYA COMMANDS YOU TO WATCH THIS ANIME!!!

Well well! Nice discription! Yeah, I liked Code Geass, though the ending while really good, cool and stuff, I just wish.......AHHH!! I can't spoil it! T_T Still *Cry* I wish.....
Anyways, my most recent anime watching would be Da Capo and Chobits. And here is the start of a short discription of both. (Though, because it's both it will probably be long..lol)
First off is Da Capo:
Da Capo has 2 series Da Capo (D.C.) and Da Capo II(D.C.II). Both series has 2 seasons for a total of 4 all together. Da Capo's 2 seasons both go for 26 ep. with 13 side eps. and 2 "What if" eps. know as Da Capo If. The "Side stories" are rather short and are usually apart of the 1st seasons regular run.
Da Capo II's seasons both run for 13 eps. Here's the short info on them:
The first series (D.C.) is about a bot named Jun'ichi Asakura who lives with his sister,Nemu Asakura. She is accuatly his "adopted sister" (The reasons for the quotes would become clear if you watch it, otherwise P.m. me about it) and together with their friends they go to Kazami Academy. There's accuatly many other characters that play important roles as well as a Sakura or Cherry Tree that doesn't wither and grants wishes. The second season plays off the first and expands many of the things that happened in the first while introducing new characters as well as new problems. Both seasons are nice to watch. The side stories are simply that, nothing about the stories really impacts the main seasons. They're just little tidbits of what went on to the characters and stuff. The "IF" eps. are simply "What if" senarios that could have happened if...(Needless to say this is pretty much a Harem Anime and people want the main guy to end up with the gril they like so....)
Da Capo II could probably stand alone by itself, however by watching the 1st series, you get a WHOLE lot more. So yeah....watch the first, first. Anyways, the setting is the exact same place about 50 or so years after the end of the second season of Da Capo. The main character of the series is Yoshiyuki Sakurai. Again, it's a Harem so there's a lot of characters that play important roles here as well. I will say that while Da Capo II does have a lot of "lovely-dovely" stuff it kinda seemed to be more...light-hearted or somthing compared to the first series....until the ending that is.
As far as I know, the entire Da Capo and D.C.II have not been dubbed as of yet.
The next series is Chobits. Chobits has 1 season and a total of 24 eps., 3 recaps and 1 OVA.
Before you understand the story you should know that this series takes place in the wolrd of the Angelic Layer series a few years after. It also has crossover ties and such with Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle, xxxHolic and Kobato. (Haven't watched it, if I do I will expand the info) Anyways, instead of Angels a new type of "Robot" was created know as Persocoms. The main character, Hideki Motosuwa has just moved to Tokyo and is trying to get into college. (Btw, I believe this takes around the time the Net was really getting around, like 02-03 or something) Hideki is also basicly computer illiterate at the start of the anime.( and a perv..really.) Anyways, persocoms are pretty much like todays computers and laptops...their just human-like and can walk around and stuff. One day Hideki finds a persocom that has been thrown away and decides to keep it, naming it "Chi" (Because that's what she can only say at first.) Anyways, the series goes from there as the two..err..one and comp. live together and stuff.
Both animes are really good. Not the tear-jerker animes like Clannad( then again, I am a pretty cold person), but they do have a nice cute, fun, lovely-dovely thing going on and I can say that after watching them I would like to see more seasons of both of the series. I did enjoy watching them and recomend them both. The biggest Cons that I've seen is that in Da Capo everyone fought over who they wanted the main guy to get with, though that wasn't my case, I knew and enjoyed him finally getting with the girl he loved. And in Chobits there wasn't another season or someting. Maybe a little low on action( but there is a LOT of fanservice...sorta.....)
Chobits has been dubbed entirely.
Anyways, that's it. I'll be posting more soon! Until then, enjoy! ^_^)-b btw, thanks Sonic Zero for the recomendations!

Well, the 2nd season is nice. It's pretty funny during the start/middle. (I will say that she doesn't show up in the show till ep 7 I think..though I won't say why....) The ending get's more dramitic, but you kinda end up hating someone for certian reasons....ehich I won't say why again....T_T Still D.C.S.S. is nice, I enjoyed it. did you watch D.C.II?
Oh yes, btw. Since I'm pretty bored right now, I thought I go ahead and give some info on one of the biggest animes out today. Meaning this will probably be long. and I'm bored so enjoy. Yes, I am talking about none other than Naruto.
Naruto, in it's entirety holds 2 series. the 1st is about 9 seasons long each about 26 ep. There's about 5 OVAs and 3 movies. O_O The second, Naruto Shippuden is about 8 seasons so far as it's ongoing it's eps through the seasons varies being longer or shorter. There are also curently 4 Shippuden movies with one of them just released to Japan, I believe. I won't go into the games and everything else this anime has spwaned... Regardless, if you haven't heard or watched Naruto, you must live under a rock, but for those that may indeed live under a rock...here's the very short version of both the anime's seasons: *Big breath*
Naruto is about...well just that, Naruto Uzumaki. He's a ninja-to-be trying to become the best in his village and be awarded the title of Hokage. (Hokage is bacily the mayor or whatever of the town) He resides in the Village hidden in the Leaf or Konoha. He's will to become Hokage comes from the fact that for the most part he's shunned by the entire village for being the one who carries the Nine-Tail Fox within his body. The Nine-Tail Fox is a very powerful Tailed Beast that attacked the village several years prior to the shoes opening. Needless to say everyone pretty much hate Naruto because of what happened, despite what the current Hokage has ordered. (Everyone's to pretty much shut-up about what happened) Anyways, while he does try a lot he pretty much sucks at being a ninja...a lot. He eventually joins Team 7 with Sasuke Uchiha and Sakura Haruno. Sasuke soon becomes his rival as he's pretty much the best young ninja, and though he likes Sakura, she really doesn't fell the same way because she likes, duh, Saskue. In any case the 3 soon become friends and go on many ninja mission and stuff to become stronger.
By the time of Naruto Shippuden a lot has happened. Naruto has left the village for training for about 3 years and has just returned. Finding out about the group of rouge ninja that want the Tailed Beasts, the Akatsuki, are also after Naruto. Which is a lot about what the 2nd series is about. Sasuke is no longer in the village due to the events of what happened in the 1st series and now fights aganist Naruto, well..pretty much. Has the series progresses you learn a lot about the history of the world of Naruto and about many of the characters as well.
Not to say the least, my short version is really that, short. So if you want to know more, watch the anime. The anime in of itself is very good. A lot of the seasons of the 1st series are nice to watch with it's share of drama, action, comedy, ect. However, towards the end where a lot of the eps are filler it can get boring a bit. The 2nd series as so far done a lot to keep pace and move foward. While there are some fillers, it has done a lot to become the next generation of Naruto. I pretty much perfer the 2nd series to the 1st. If you haven't watched Naruto(you live under a rock)I do recomend watching it. It's a good anime and the fact that it's ongoing does show that a lot of people to enjoy the series. Anyways, enjoy.
Well, the 2nd season is nice. It's pretty funny during the start/middle. (I will say that she doesn't show up in the show till ep 7 I think..though I won't say why....) The ending get's more dramitic, but you kinda end up hating someone for certian reasons....ehich I won't say why again....T_T Still D.C.S.S. is nice, I enjoyed it. did you watch D.C.II?
Who, CC? she shows up in the first episode of R2. Oh and Da Capo 2 is still not in the Philippines(but I sure hope it will come out soon).
Oh in the ending of R2, YOU'RE GONNA HATE EVERYONE WHO WAS AGAINST LELOUCH, INCLUDING SOME OF HIS FRIENDS!!!(He only acted evil because it was part of his plan for people to accept Zero as a hero.)
oh sorry for spoilers.

Some more facts:
The title "Hokage" is given to a ninja that made some special save the world thing.
The 4th Hokage, "Flash" Yondaime( Minamoto Yondaime), is Naruto's father.
The nine-tailed fox is also called as "Kyubi"
After Naruto left Konoha with Jiraya, he probably trained for 2 years since he was 13 when he left the village, and he was 15 in the shippuden series.
Naruto's Mother is Kushina Uzumaki. Oh, and shes dead.
I think there are only 5 seasons in the 1st season, season 5 was an intro for naruto shippuden.
If you haven't watch Naruto yet, you pretty much live under a rock that came from a million years ago.

lol, not off the top of my head. I've finally taken a short break from my annime wacthing binge for now, lol. Though, there are still some animes that I'm considering watching.
Well, since I'm currently watching an anime and busy with some other stuff, I decided to give a short info download on the anime known as Vandread:
Vandread has 2 seasons in total. The first is about 13 eps. long and the 2nd is about 26. Both seasons are dubbed in english.
The story revloves around a bot named Hibiki Tokai. The thing about him is that he comes from a planet that is entirely made up of men known as Taraak. Yeah, you read that right. Let me continue before you start freaking out. *Ahem* Anyways, he eventually stoes away on a spacecraft and the ship is attacked by "aliens." These people are Taraak's mortal enemy and know as Mejere, I believe. Anyways, the ship becomes the property of what looks like Mejere. In reality, their pirates from Mejere. Hibiki and some other guys end up being prisoners of the ship and find out that the Mejere pirates aren't so bad. (Yes..their girls. and here we commence the harem part of the anime) In any case, while they are treated as prisoners, the eventually have to join the crew as they suddenly are attacked by another races of aliens.
Basicly the story revloves the characters lviing on this ship as they travel back to Mejere and encounter these "other" aliens. They also slowly find out about how men and women used to live together and a lot about the past and how it will affect the future. This also plays a role on just who the "other aliens" really are....
I did enjoy the anime as a whole. There was a lot of comedy and a lot of action with the space battles. (Which is like Gundam or something) There is also a lot of drama which invloves hibiki trying to become a man, the girls starting to fall for him and the big mystery behind why men and women were seperated and what the other aliens have to do with the entire story. It ends well, and the characters do a lot in becoming apart of the anime. I do recomend watching it, just be aware of the large ammount of fanservice (lol) and don't freak out when you discover B.C's secret, hehehehe. Enjoy.
Here's one of my fave anime: Katekyo Hitman Reborn!
This anime is mostly about Tsuna Yoshi Sawada, a junior high student at nanimore midle school, who is destined to be the 10th boss of the mafia called Vongola.
Vongola Guardians
Sky Guardian- Tsuna Yoshi Sawada Cloud Guardian- Kyoya Hibari Mist Guardian- Mokuro Rukodo/Chrome Dokuro Rain Guardian- Takeshi Yamomoto Storm Guardian- Hayato Bokudera Lightning Guardian- Lambo Sun Guardian- Whp was it again?

Well, here's another little anime info for everyone!
The anime is called Stratos 4.
The show has about 3 seasons (if you call them that, otherwise it's 2.) The first is about 13 eps. long with about 3 OVAs..sort of. The second season, know as Stratos 4 Advance, runs for only 6 eps. The third(if you call it that) is known as Stratos 4 Advance Final and only runs for 2 eps.
The anime takes place in 2024 when about 50 years frior to the first ep. the world found out that the entire solar system was going to go through...well...basicly the meteor belt. haha. A bunch of coments and meteors have set course to the Solar System and Earth is also a target. To combat this, the world goverments have formed an anti-meteor orginazation that later split into two a 1st wave main attack group, know as the Comet Blasters and the 2nd land-to-air force known as the Meteor Sweepers. The Comet Blasters being the main attack force, are pretty much the popular "stars" (ha, pun) of the group and the Meteor Sweepers are usually known as the "Clean up group" taking out pieces of the comets that still pose danger.
The story itself revloves around Mikaze Honjou, a girl wanting to be a Comet Blaster and starting as a Meteor Sweeper. With her friends, she goes through a lot of training and "meteor sweeping".
For the most part the story is nice, girl wanting to be cool, lots of flying and shooting comets, ect. Btw, the action is usually in the air or space taking out these comets and meteors and there's a lot of references to planes and such. (If you're a plane-nut, welcome) Anyways, as the story goes on you soon start getting some weird vibes from some of the other characters which gets proven when you start seeing the yuri stuff. (lol, let me finish) You will be wondering a lot of stuff for awhile, until a bigger mystery pops up and starts to explain some stuff. (Yeah, not happening guys.) By the end, you're probably hoping for the best for everyone and, finally get to enjoy a happy ending. (really, not happening guys.)
All in all for a fairly short anime, it was done well. I did enjoy it. There were some times I wish some parts could have been done better, mostly by expanding on it.(Like Sako and Miharu's problems, ect.) But with only so many eps, I guess I can understand. However, the anime does usually keep a light-hearted theme to it, except when needed and you do get your share of fanservice. It's a pretty good anime and I do recomend it.
As far as Dubbing goes, I know so far that the 1st season and it's OVA's are dubbed(though I got to watch, about only 1 one the OVAs....>>) the 2nd season is in Japanese. The cool parts about this anime is that in one ep, you get to see 2 of the main characters from Vandread(Because the guy who made Vandread made this as well) and the music for the anime is prett nice. For the first season, I accuatly enjoyed watch the opening and ending credits. ^^
Sadly the cons are that it's kinda short and by the end you still probably have questions about this and that, which usually leads you to wanting another season of the anime. That and I get a littl confused on just exactly how many seasons there are anyways. A season with only 2 eps, usually files under OVAs for me.....>> That and if you do really plan on watching this anime, I bid you luck. Usually I'm able to finish off animes in a couple of days. I was able to finish off Clannad in about 2 I think. (yeah, I have no life, I know, let's not go there....) However, it took a lot longer to watch, simply because I couldn't find a good place to watch the anime. (This came out around 02, I guess so....that could explain why is was so hard to find. (still didn't get to watch the OVAs of the 1st season, and if you don't watch the, you miss out on a small part of the story)
In any case, if you can watch the anime, I do recomend watching it. It's pretty cool and an enjoyable anime. ^^
I know you don't like the Prince of Tennis (probaly because of the bad english dub,or you just don't likr anime that is all about sports), but i'm gonna post some info anyways.
The Prince of Tennis is about Ryoma Echizen,a Seigaku Middle School student, who is really good at playing tennis. He is later a member of the Seigaku tennis club Regulars. Ryoma personality reminds me of Zero, silent and cool(). Ryoma is the son of the famous tennis player, Nangiro Echizen. This anime isn't really all about tennis. In some eps, the team plays other sports to develop there skills. And thats about it if you don't want any spoilers.

lol, just because I don;t like it doesn't mean it's doesn't belong here. If it's a good anime, feel free to post it! ^_^ (Yeah, I did only watch it in the Eng Dub, but it wasn't the Dub that got me. I'm just not a sports anime guys I guess. lololol)
Shaman King: Shaman King is about Yoh Asakura, a carefree boy with the power to see spirits and control them. As the story progresses, He entered the Shaman tournament(what was it called again?), to become the Shaman King. With the help of his friends and blah blah blah no spoilers. (the ending was kinda stupid, though.)

Not exactly sure you would call it an anime, though I believe the Japanese made the art for the shows, so...I'll call it anime.
Anyways, the show is called Mega Man: Wish Upon a Star. It's about 3 eps. long. as far as I know, though it could be longer.
The show centers around a young boy and his sister. (Forgot their names, lol) Anyways, the boy just so happens to be a Mega Man fan (YAY!) and his sister is pretty much the same, just not totally into playing the games as much as her brother. Anyways, one night he leaves the game on and Dr.Wily is all of his weirdness and stuff, escapes from the Game World and enters the Real World. Soon after MegaMan, Rush and some other also come out to chase Dr.Wily and send him back to the Game World.
I enjoyed the shows for 2 reasons. The first is because it was done in the old school Mega Man style. Meaning the art was done around the time of Astro Boy or the art was done before Mega Man 8. The way they had the games played and portrayed in the shows were cool. Second, the show themselves while being about Mega Man and stuff, was also created with the help of the international relations group to show us people over here about what it's like over there in Japan. So the show was also a anime-style tour of Japan and talked about the events and holidays of Japan as well!!!
Some other nice bonuses of the show was that many of the VAs were also the VAs of the orginal "Mega Man" cartoon by Ruby-Spears. So yes, the Dr.Light in this anime was the Dr.Light on the cartoon. It was pretty cool. ^^
The Cons for the shows were that, for one, It was only 3 eps long(as far as I know). Some of the VAs, while cool, did sound pretty bad in the translation. haha. But, it was worth it, I guess. Dr.Wily sounded so funny....
Anyways, if you haven't guessed, yes it was dubbed.
All in all, if you like Mega Man, you'll like it regardless. If you like taking a stroll down memory lane (in such as, yes, you did watch the Ruby-Spears Mega Man or like the old style anime) you like it.
If you just like sticking to the modern-style anime, or such, you may not enjoy it. And if you didn;t like the Eng. VAs of the Mega Man cartoon, you can still try to watch it in japaneese. In any case enjoy!
You have yet to see my true strength!!!
! Anyway, I only watched 
. Anyway, other Anime you might know about: Utowarererurumono, Major season 1 to 5, My bride is a mermaid, and plenty of stuff I can't remember.
