Yu yu hakusho (1992)
Best Damn Anime
This story simply rocks. The storyline is action-packed, filled with comedic moments, emotion, and the story of a boy that doesn't quite fit in. The main character (Yusuke Urameshi) is a punk that has no problem telling authority to kiss off. Thing is, the kid actually has a decent side, once one looks past the perversion, vulgarity, gambling problems, smoking problems, attitude, etc. He ends up saving a boy from being crushed by a car, earns back his life and acquires powers of spirit energy, and comes back to kick some demon butt. This anime is a good 112 episodes long, and each end leaves you thirsting for some more. The action is great, the comedy made me fall off the couch, and the loyalty shown between the four main characters made me wish that all the people I called my friends would be the same.

Erufen rîto (2004)
Hauntingly Beautiful
The first ten minutes of this beautifully portrayed anime is a clear warning message for those with weak stomachs to find their entertainment somewhere else. Elfen Lied starts off with a cliché type of storyline: humans keep mutants locked up and experiment on them, mutants try to kill humans. However, after the first episode, I found myself captivated to go on. Even after (I think the eighth episode) where a puppy is mercilessly beaten to death, I kept being drawn in by the spiraling storyline, and found myself spending another thirty dollars on the final DVD. I have yet to watch it.
Those with weak stomachs better avoid this story in all. My sister at age thirteen (I'm fourteen) was absolutely terrified after watching the first episode. She had a good two weeks of nightmares, but continued watching. The storyline is addictive, so stay away unless you are prepared to watch every last second of gore, tears, and kisses.
