This isn't Mooh, but his daughter. Call me Sal.
I run an anime club at my high school. I recommend:
Anime:
1. Record of Lodoss War/Lodoss to Senki OAV or TV (Legend of the Heroic Knight)- Tolkien-ish fantasy, but with decent female characters.
2. The Slayers- comic fantasy. Main characters are (and I quote): a smart-ass sorceress and a dumber-than-dirt swordsman.
3. Saiyuki- bizarre take on the Journey to the West saga. Also comic. Good action scenes and hilarious lines. And a dragon who turns into a jeep.
4. .hack//SIGN- fantasy/virtual reality setting. Slow plot advancement, but beautiful art and fantastic music.
5. Noir- Two female assassins in France trying to figure out who's messing with their lives. One can't remember who she is, the other knows too well who she is. Fabulous action scenes and also has good music.
6. Fushigi Yuugi- Hopelessly romantic, but the characters are so utterly loveable. About a girl who gets drawn into the fantasy world of this mystical book and ends up being one to fulfill a prophesy. Not very original, but well done.
Manga:
1. Anything by CLAMP. Tsubasa is good, Card Captor Sakura, Magic Knights Rayearth, CLAMP Campus Detectives. Very girly, though.
2. Ranma 1/2- Absolutely hilarious tale of a young martial artist who falls into an enchanted spring, so whenever he hits cold water, he turns into a girl. His father turns into a panda in the same situation. Obviously, this is a problem sometimes...
3. Rurouni Kenshin- Story set in late 1800s Japan about a incredible assasin named Himura Kenshin turned wandering swordsman. Kenshin has turned from a ruthless killer to a funny pushover. Especially by women. It's rather amusing.
