Hi,
  I watch them with my 20yo son - I prefer if they are not totally dark but we have enjoyed a bunch of them (RWBY, Log Horizon, a lot of the SAO, LOVE Shokugeki No Soma, Assassin High, Lalouche, I can't even think of the names) but we are in a dry spell.  Please make suggestions!
  Thanks,
  Debbie
P.S. Wasn't sure if this went in debate or real life?

- Mirai Nikki
      - Pretty dark, still a good anime. Psychological anime, futuristic, gory.
- Elfen Lied
      - See Mirai Nikki.
- AnoHana (made me cry at the end)
      - Cute. Last episode made me cry though.
- Vampire Knight & Vampire Knight Guilty
      - Romance, some fighting, good anime.
- Fruits Basket
      - Cute one about shapeshifting zodiac animals. 
- Gugure! Kokkuri-san
      - Hilarious.
- Hetalia Axis Powers
      - Kind of funny, kind of educational.
- Shugo Chara
      - A cutesy flowery animation style.
- Death Note
      - A notebook that makes people die.

Thank you so much!!!  I can't wait to check these out!

Thank you!!  James has his last midterm Monday - then we are going to check these out...

I like more darker stuff but ill keep it as light as I can, gurren lagan is great, code geass gets dark but its good, Naruto and bleach are good if you skip filler, ruroni kenshin, clanaad (it will make you laugh and cry I promise)

My number 1 recommendation is the whole Magi series, its all good

As for really dark stuff
Re:zero
Claymore
Attack on Titan
Berserk

Oh I forget my favorite light hearted one

Ouran high school Host club

Ty - I am looking forward to checking these out (except for attack on Titan - my kids love it but it is way too dark for me...)

Wow... I've only heard of 2 of the Anime movies here (Death Note & Naruto) :p ... not that I'm into Anime but still. I didn't know they were so popular!
