A serious, natural anime show? - 05-15-2008, 07:06 PM

Does anyone know of any anime show that doesn't involve anything supernatural/surreal, and that isn't a comedy? To let loose, it's alright if there is SOME supernatural to it, but rather have the story revolve around characters maybe? .hack//SIGN was appealing in one way because it was all in a computer game but 99% of the show was in "The World" and the anime didn't reflect an MMORPG very well.

I might be looking for something that doesn't exist, but it would be fun to watch something different. So far, the anime shows I've watched fully are:

Digimon (season 1)
Scryed
Samurai Deeper Kyo
Love Hina
Trigun
Final Fantasy: Unlimited
.hack//SIGN

There are many, you have for example Beck, Flag, Hajime No Ippo, Tokyo Tribes 2 or Wangan Midnight. This are the ones on the top of my head.

Haven't seen too many people talk about Tokyo Tribes. GTO is good as well. Along with Shonan Junai Gumi.



Don't wanna be the one to pop your cherry, girl
Just jump a train that will bring you back to mama's side

Knock on, knock on
Knock on the sky
You keep on knockin' better ask yourself why

Don't wanna get your teddy bear mad at me, girl
So get your pretty slippers on and dance out of here

You keep on pushin' and you will see my chilly yellow eyes

Be happy living in your nuclear life

You keep pushin' and you will feel my frozen beastly bite

Tokyo Tribes 2 is very good, but it is being underlooked.
As for GTO, I doubt that it is a serious anime, but I have heard many positive remarks.

I suggest Elfen Lied. Is has some surreal elements but the storyline and development of characters is superb.
