Name of Series: Wolf's Rain
Alternate Names: I have seen it called Kiba's Wolf Rain but I don't think that's an official title.
Episodes: 26
Genre: action, romance, and somewhat comedy?
Plot Summary: In the old legends it is said that when the world comes to an end Paradise shall appear, only problem is that only wolves can find it. But wolves have been said to be extinct for more then 200 years. According to the Book of Red Moon the wolf will seek the flower as well the flower seeks the wolf. The flower ends up being not and ordinary flower but a girl made of lunar flowers named Cheza.
Personal Opinion: I think this is a really good anime! I'm only sad that not many people seem to have heard about it. It has a good plot with a few twits. The animation is also good and I do recommend it for anyone! There is some violence in it but not over done. Same with blood, in my opinion the first episode has the most blood ^^'
Rating: I give Wolf's Rain a 8 :D

Summary : Seventeen-year-old Chiyuki Matsuoka has breathed hospital air for as long as she can remember. Having been born with a serious heart problem, doctors have more or less given up on her condition and told her that she might not be able to make it on the next winter. Knowing this, Chiyuki strive to live her life to the fullest but as she is confined to the hospital, her efforts were pretty useless.
One night, Chiyuki encounters a handsome man named Touya Kanou who is later revealed to be a vampire. As Touya is at the right age now, he is sent to the human world to look for his partner who will live with him for eternity. In order to seal their partnership, Touya must drink the blood of his partner and in return give him his own blood which has the power to make them both live for a thousands of years.
Knowing that there is a chance of living for a long time, Chiyuki insisted on being Touya's partner. However, for Touya, living a long life is horrific and he knows that sooner or later, his partner will get desperate over her infinite life. To watch numerous people die before you, it is enough to torture the soft-hearted vampire. It's up to Chiyuki to teach Touya the pleasure of life, even if her own soon wither away.
Opinion : The plot is really nice and the combination of the characters too!! its really sweet~! ^.^ but its a little sad that it is still ongoing (despite the beautiful artwork) and hatori-san might not have the chance to finish it anymore since he's busy with he's "Ouran High school host club" but I'm hoping that after Ouran High, he'll finish it too!! Its really interesting especially when it comes to Touya's decision about letting Chiyuki live a painful thousands of years or to let her die too early with her disease.
Recommendation : I recommend this to everyone!! most especially to those who enjoys reading a light-hearted-comedy with a-slice-of-drama-kind of romance!!

Pandora Hearts (anime)

Director (anime): Takao Kato
Episodes: 25 (original run: April 3, 2009 - September 25, 2009)
Genre: Mystery, fantasy, action, comedy, romance
Summary: Oz Vessalius (Bezarius), heir to one of the duke houses, has just turned fifteen. His life is rich and carefree, darkened only by the constant absence of his father. At his coming-of-age ceremony, however, everything changes. For no reason that he can discern, he is cast into the prison known as the "Abyss", only to be saved by a "chain" known as Alice, the bloodstained black rabbit. The mystery there begins as Oz unravels the mystery behind Alice, the Abyss and the strange organization known as Pandora. The series features heavy references to Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass and can be considered both fantasy and mystery.
My opinion: this is one of the story which u have to watch every single episode in order to understand the whole story. all the facts and secrets are reveal little by little throughout the episodes. very interesting indeed (otherwise i wont recommend it to u), and as someone who really picky about the visual, this anime certainly suite my taste. the art is beautiful, the characters are awesomely created. and also for added points even the theme songs are excellent. opening theme is 'Parallel Hearts' by FictionJunction. and ending themes are 'Maze' and 'Watashi wo Mitsukete', both by Savage Genius. i also fall in love with the music box song, 'Lacie' that's featured in the story (music from the pocket watch found by Oz). Overall it's totally a great anime (listed in my top 5). Watch it and see for yourself.
Score: 4.5/5 (excellent series!)
enjoy!!

Captive Hearts
Alternate Name: Toraware no Minoue
Length: 5 Volumes((Completed))

Summary: Megumi Kuroishi is living the life of an ordinary college student. Well...not exactly. His family has served the Kogami family for generations, he himself no exception. He'd been trained to become a butler since he was just a little boy. That was, until the Kogami family went missing on a trip to China. They were after presumed dead, all of their fortune going to Megumi's father. And so, his life went on, basically normal. Until one day his father returns from China with a teenage girl who he claims to be the Kogami's surviving daughter Suzuka. Upon seeing her, something inside Megumi awakens, and he goes into a 'manservant fit'. Tending to her every need, and even calling her a "princess". And thus he discovers his clan hadn't just served the Kogami because of loyalty...but because they were cursed to do so for 100 generations. Because Megumi himself hadn't been exposed to the Kogami's, all of his instincts had been suppressed. And now, his need to serve comes out in highly comedic ways. Suzuka doesn't want anyone to be forced to serve her, thus she starts down the path of attempting to break their age-old curse.
Opinion: It's a very very cute romance story. There were many heartfelt moments, as well as highly funny moments as well. And since it was written by Matsuri Hino...naturally I loved the character designs. :3 It's not incredibly long, but it was completely worth the read. :) Megumi's "manfits" were too funny, and Suzuka's pure innocence was truly touching. That combined with Rui's Raging Jealousy, and a transvestite best friend...I'll tell you...it was quite a journey.
((I'm sure you can find this title at OneManga or Mangafox. >:3 I just don't know if it's all been uploaded or not...))
