Konbanwa!! I'd have to saw that I absolutely LOVE Rurouni Kenshin!! It's my fave anime. Kenshin is such a sweet heart and Sano is kawaii too. Not to mention Hiko and Aoshi. Characters are awesome....great complexity/plot/romance. I'm known for being a Kenshin fanatic at school and I'm proud!
I also do like InuYasha and Yuu Yuu Hakusho!! Actually, I love both shows, but Kenshin is still my first love. I like them all for their own reasons, like many other people have said. They all have great character development and bishies!!....InuYasha, Sesshie, Miroku, Kurama....Bishies!! I haven't seen Noir tho. Gundam is great and Slayers is funny! I agree with you're choices Anime babe. Check out Fushigi Yuugi also. It's my second fave after Kenshin. If you like shojo, bishies, drama, love triangles, angst, fantasy....FY is freakin awesome too! Ja Ne!
