If there are any of you Buffy and Angel fans out there on my friends list that have a desire to try out anime, I reccomend the following titles:
-Trigun
-Cowboy Bebop
Why these two? Because Jossverse is drama and comedy and action and all forms of love and dark content and PAIN up the wazoo, where you watch characters rise and then you're made to watch them fall. And sometimes they rise again, and sometimes they don't. And all the while you're completely in love and hanging off your couch for the next eppy.
These two series are like that. Plus, Firefly fans in particular would get a kick out of _both_ of these shows... I guarantee it. Also, these are ironically two anime which I prefer to watch exclusively in the English language dub. Usually I don't care if something is subtitled or English dub, but for these two the English is actually better. Which also helps for people who are new to anime and aren't used to watching tv in Japanese.
Although neither of these shows have anything remotely to do with vampires (Trigun is semi-SciFi, semi-Western and CB is SciFi in the sense of future space travel but not supernatural at all), and both shows are significantly different from each other as well... in fact the two shows' underlying/overriding themes are so different that they might border on completley opposite to each other... in terms of character development and story style and tone and the balance of action & drama, these are two anime series that I think Jossverse fans would make the swiftest and most enjoyable transition too. I can find elements in these two series that are what I love in Angel, Firefly, and Buffy.
If that rec doesn't convince you.... ::whispers::![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
circe_tigana and saava love Cowboy Bebop. I dunno if they've seen Trigun or not, but if they did they'd love that too. And Trigun has a pretty blond guy and a character named Knives, and CB has a character named Spike. And the music for both show is fabulous, with a particular plus for CB. /::end whispers::
Side note-- here's an anime torrent site; I've never used it but I'll probalby be trying it soon:
