I need an anime that has good plot action and good music?

The woman who wrote the music for Cowboy Bebop is a genius. There's a list of stuff she's done http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yoko_Kanno here. Also, Yuki Kajiura is a very talented anime music writer. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yuki_Kajiura I would suggest Mai HiME (really good show, although the ending is pretty disappointingly) and Noir (the main theme throughout the show is really driving and symphonic, it's very Europeanish) from her. Noir is kind of darker, but nothing has as much blood as Elfen Lied (except Higurashi). Claymore is also kind of dark, but the music is very interesting. If anyone suggests Rozen Maiden, I'll shoot death beams at them (unless you're into ANY goth loli music). The opening and ending songs for ARIA were really calm and pretty, but it's a really mellow show (freaking adorable, no action, but awesome and did I mention adorable?) I hope I was of some help! I tried to be as broad as possible, I'm not going to stick with what's OMGpopular right now. The music for Naruto is okay sometimes, but the plot is lacking (I read it anyways, it's a love/hate relationship). So I'm happy to hear that not everyone is blinded by what Cartoon Network is showing (OMGINUYASHA???!??!! No.)

he said DON'T suggest anything that has been or is currently on cartoon network, so take pokemon out (because it's airing on CN now). also take the Dragonball/Z/GT trilogy out as well because it aired on CN a long time ago (except for Z that was on Toonami since 4 months ago).

if you count adult swim as being on cartoon network because they share the same channel, then take code geass out as well.

i don't watch the anime aside from the ones you mentioned to don't mention, so i can't help you there. the animes you mentioned DO have good plot action and some great music, according to my opinion.

Vampire Knight
