Can You Reccomend Me An Anime With The Following Criteria?

I need some new anime to watch! What can you reccomend that fits into the following:

* Most important: must have an amazing storyline.

* Good animation, no super budget stuff

* Good music (more a bonus)

* I would prefer no anime that has hundreds of episodes, mostly because the animation is generally poorer and there are too many filler episodes

Anime I already love includes Wolf's Rain, FMA, Darker Than Black, Death Note, Fruits Basket, Samurai Champloo and Escaflowne. Thanks so much!

    One that started off a little slow, but really gained momentum in the middle is "Kiddy Grade." It centers on two youthful-appearing female law-enforcers who live and work in a planet-hopping future. Every agent in their organization has special powers of one kind or other, but theirs seem to be on a lower level than most, hence the name of the show. But appearances can be deceiving...

    "VanDread" is another sci-fi tale of the far future, when men and women are at war with each other. Literally. A band of female pirates (and three male stowaways) end up flung across the universe in a mutated starship. They will have to learn to trust and co-operate, if they are going to live to see their home worlds, again.

    "Blue Seed" stars a teenaged girl who is a descendant of a princess in an old legend that turns out to have its basis in fact. Ancient monsters have reawakened to claim the Earth and turn all humans into plants. Only one organization in Japan has any hope of stopping them. Should they fail, they will have no choice but to sacrifice the girl's life in order to put these creatures back into hibernation.

    "Project Blue Earth, S.O.S." is a short but highly entertaining show about a handful of people struggling against an alien invasion. Great story, wonderful characters, and best of all, it has a throwback 1950's style look at the 21st century, which no other anime I've seen has.

    "Ushio & Tora" is another short series that I would describe as "InuYasha meets The X-Files." A boy releases a tiger demon back into the world, after an ancestor fought to pin it to a rock with a charmed spear. Fortunately, this spear gives the boy certain powers over the demon. The two of them become uneasy partners in battles against supernatural threats. When this series ends, you'll find yourself wishing there was more.

  • The first thing that comes to mind (for me) is Angel Beats! It's only 12 or 13 episodes I think... I absolutely love the story, and you really get to know the characters! Has tons of awesome music (depending on what you like I guess) and I absolutely love the animation too! I watched the whole thing in a few days...

    Code Geass... I was you had Death Note up there as one you like... well, Code Geass is just as exciting if not more, great plotline that makes you think,and awesome animation! The characters are great, and you'll just fall in love with it if you're anything like me! Doesn't have a lot of music that I remember, but I do remember being in love with the theme song... (although it is 50 episodes between the 2 seasons)

    And one last suggestion... Black Butler. 36 episodes, 2 seasons. And it's super awesome~! Story is great, animation is great, characters are great. Again doesn't have a lot of memorable music, but I did love the Season 1 theme song and ending songs... Though, to warn you, the 1st season (to me) is wayyyy better than the 2nd season... so you could knock it down to 24 episodes and just skip that one...

    lol... so yeah, hope I could help! ^^

    I may edit this later with more suggestions if I think of them...

They're all different genres so you should be able to find something you like. I think all of these are enjoyed by a majority of viewers and definitely deserve it.

    the two i'm able to think of of is: Detective Conan -you have prob heard of this. the main male character is a genius and the main woman lead isnt great clever. There of direction is romance however the sequence is see you later which you may get drained O_O Detective Academy Q -This one sounds like what u %. the main male character is excellent clever. the female lead is likewise clever and gifted yet no longer as clever and inventive simply by fact the main male character and there is romance too so...
