Anime: I need something similar.?

Well you guys helped me pick Bamboo Blade, Black Cat, & D.Gray Man for my queue, but I still need my "more of the same" fix. I'm going to compare some stuff & if it rings a bell, name a show.

Yu-Yu Hakusho, GetBackers, Hunter x Hunter, Slayers, & Gensoumaden Saiyuki.

1)A band of four or more people traveling, getting into a lot of fights.

2)Most of the main characters have an obscure family history, a messed-up family or at least a scary older sibling they avoid like the plague, or are orphans.

3)Two of the characters are an asshole with a dark past, & a super-clingy happy idiot. The other two are a quiet secretive guy often lost in thought & a guy who looks like a chick who uses a rope-like weapon.

4)Some of them contain old woman who looks impossibly young & cute who trains at least one of the characters. (Maria, Genkai, Bisque, Kanzeon sorta counts).

5)All the series have the creepy good-looking false-lead villain who at some point tags along with the heroes & even fights alongside them. This guy is always smiling & always looking for fun, but he is undefeatable in combat & has a strange interest in one of the people he's following. (YYH had Karasu, but made the mistake of killing him off almost immediately). (Xellos, Akabane, Hazel, Ni Jian-Yi, Hisoka).

6)The story itself is blatantly inspired by mythology, Lord of the Rings/D&D, or Dragonball.

7)The series has very suggestive UST, but no romance.

So what fighting magical anime do you know with an asshole/*****, a genki moron, a quiet guy, a bishounen, & a cute creep?

I'll mention that I've already seen Dragonball/Z/GT, Sorcerous Stabber Orphen, Dragon Half, Bakuretsu Hunter (Sorcerer Hunters), Gokudo, & Master of Mosquiton 99; which all have some of those traits.

    I don't know, but you could try "Record of Lodoss War" and "Record of Lodoss War: Chronicles of the Heroic Knight". They are basically Dungeons and Dragons adventures.
