Here, we have my fandom list. Or more like a list of things I've ever experienced and enjoyed at least a bit. But many of them I enjoyed very much. I like all different sorts of things. ^_^
When making a recommendation, please take a look at the list, and keep in mind the kind of things I like. Giving a small description would also be very helpful.
I tend to not like anything intensely violent or sexually explicit. I upset very easily. Anything already on this list that is bloody, I was probably cringing through.
Please also see my Favorite Fanworks List for recommending fanworks of fandoms listed here.
Thank you very much! <3

Comments
(Also, by 'up to date' on NANA, how do you mean..?)
And I mean "up to date" with the scanlations.*Nods* Did I not tell you I was? Hm. Well, I am now! ^_^
Oh, really? That's great! I just figured when you were you might make a post about it or something...
Princess Tutu (please do not give up on the second season, which starts out a lot weaker than season one, because the ending is amazing!)
Revolutionary Girl Utena (a MUST for anyone who enjoys shoujo in the slightest, an unforgettable experience; the TV series is best but the AU movie has some of the most gorgeous art I've ever seen in my life)
Otogi Zoshi (very unique and interesting art style, an awesome kickass heroine who is also relatable and easy to get behind, a gigantic shock at the midway point, and two story arcs that take place at completely different points in time but feature the same, but sort of new, characters)
Manga:
After School Nightmare (a hauntingly unique shoujo series full of characters with totally different, realistic psychological issues, not the usual angst you see in manga but the kind that haunts real people, most of these characters could realistically be placed in mental institutions, but you grow to care about them so much)
X-Day (two volume series that should not be missed by anyone, everyone I've talked to who read it agrees that it feels as if it's talking about you, it's impossible not to relate to at least one of the characters, and some of the scenes will touch such a nerve that they'll have you in tears)
Movies:
I don't know what you think of horror movies, but if you don't mind them, you might want to try the Whispering Corridors series. It's four Korean horror movies (though they're pretty light on the horror and focus more on the relationships between the high school girl characters). In order, they are: Whispering Corridors, Memento Mori (the best), Wishing Stairs (second best, in my opinion), and Voice. Memento Mori was unavailable from Netflix so I got it from ebay. If you do decide to try the series, I'd be happy to send you a copy of Memento Mori. Also, the movies can be watched in any order because they don't share a plot, characters, setting, or anything besides the themes. Think of them as Final Fantasy games (in regards to how they relate to each other). XD
Games:
.hack//Infection (and the other three, they're essentially one big game divided into four parts to make more money, but they're really good, especially since you've watched .hack//SIGN).
.hack//G.U. (has three volumes, I'm currently playing volume 2 and I'm loving them, I recommend watching .hack//Roots first as it explains a LOT that might leave you confused otherwise, the protagonist Haseo is actually Sora from SIGN, just with a new character in The World, though he has no memory of being Sora and doesn't act much like him XD).
Chrono Trigger (best game ever, now released on DS so should be easy to acquire, has the greatest story ever told in video game format, in my opinion, and a super fun RPG battle system)
Chrono Cross (for PS1, but it's pretty cheap on ebay, the sort-of sequel to Trigger as it references the events/characters but not so much that you need to play Trigger first to understand, has lots of great characters, beautiful music, and another fun combat system)
Enchanted Arms (for Xbox 360, the story and battle system are very old school but the graphics are gorgeous, can be played with the Japanese language track, which is a spiffy feature as the cast includes some fairly big names in the seiyuu world, is also the gayest game ever outside of actual BL games, but in a totally fun and awesome way that can be enjoyed by het fans like myself)
Final Fantasy IV (for DS, though the original is just as good if you can handle sprites, my favorite FF ever, an incredible story with incredible characters, pioneered the active time battle system, can be challenging at times but is always fun)
Final Fantasy Tactics (for PSP, as the PS1 version is rare and expensive, has an awesome story that reminds you somewhat of FFXII in terms of themes and tone, though they're not really related despite both taking place in Ivalice, has fun, easy-to-learn gameplay and the PSP version sports some gorgeous animated cutscenes and a great cameo from Balthier)
The World Ends With You (for DS, I was disappointed with it at first but after I got into it, I realized it is indeed awesome, has very unique gameplay and art, also a very interesting story and amazing music worth downloading)
Only one question at this point. Just when you say horror... you see, I don't mind scary, but gore upsets me pretty badly. I'm very sensitive. ~_~; So it depends on what kind of horror, I suppose.
Ah, I also finished Princess Tutu recently. It was fabulous. I understand why it was recommended to me so many times now. ^_^
The Last Remnant.
it's definately a must try. It's a square enix title and a 360 exclusive and you're definately lucky to have the ability to try it ^__~ impliments a whole new 'unit/union' based battle system and though it does have a bit of blood spatter i'm sure you'll still appreciate and enjoy it. ^__^
Thanks!
Tales of Vesperia is a lot of fun! I'd recommend it to anyone with an Xbox 360 who likes RPGs.
If you've not already heard of this, it's a simple 2D platformer EXCEPT that in each world you're given a time-controlling power.
Some of the puzzles are really hard, some are easy, and the whole thing is very, very beautiful.
I assume you know about Fushigi Yūgi? It's similar but different.
A girl finds a book that teleports her to an ancient chinese world. She has to find a group of 7 other people and complete a quest in order to get a wish granted. It's an easy-reading book with some focus on whimsy and relationships.
You might like it.
Also related: Maison Ikkoku, Rumiko Takahashi's now-complete series about the lodgers in a flat. It's a simple, sweet romantic comedy. With just a few interesting characters, their problems, successes and silly antics become all the material the book needs.
Just because I've been reading it recently and am totally hooked: Hikaru no Go. Whilst searching in his grandpa's attic, a boy finds the ghost of a legendary Go player - come back to the real world, hoping to play Go. It's about the boy's rise as a Go player as he learns how to play from the ghost. But there's a bittersweet element as he's estranged from some friends...
Oh and for anime have you ever watched Katekyo Hitman Reborn?
It's a shonen junp title and it's pretty awesome and hilarious.
Based on your listing, recommendations!! XD It looks like you like a lot of the same things I do, so here are some of my top favs that you don't have listed (I apologize if you have any of these listed, I may have overlooked them ^^*):
~Pita Ten - It's a cutesy story about an angel who's not a very good angel (and I don't mean that by she's evil, I mean she sucks at it XD). The manga totally beats out the anime.. It has a much more in depth storyline, and the artwork is great (parts are beautiful, parts are spastic, its great). By the same creator, I also recommend DiGi Charat and Kamichama Karin
~Hana Kimi (anime)- It's a story about an American girl who's in love with this Japanese high jumper, so she chops her hair and poses as a guy to get in to his all-boy's school to be close to him. It's a really great story, really loooong manga (I think the books are in the 20's now)
~This Ugly and Beautiful World (anime)- More of a serious story, but man is it good. It's a short series (12 eps), not really sure how to explain it though... ^^* All I can say is its really good, one of my favorites.
~Blood: The Last Vampire (anime-movie)- If you liked Blood+, watch this. This came first. It's a bit bloodier than Blood+ (from what I saw of Blood+ anyway, I didn't get very far in), but it's so much more well done, and it's just really cool (the movie's half in English, half in Japanese, which I thought was really cool).
~Othello (manga) - A shorter series (6 books) about a girl with a split personality disorder. One personality is very shy, withdrawn, the other personality is extremely outgoing, not the most well behaved.. The character has no idea the second personality even exists at first, she just notices chunks of her life missing, things happening that she has no idea why they're happening, etc. It's a REALLY good story, everyone I've inflicted it on loves it. XD
~Kodocha (anime/manga) - I know the manga is out of print, but I'm pretty sure the anime is still available. It's definitely a comedy, the main character is this wild kid tv-star. It starts out just pretty out there at first, but it does develop a storyline, and while I haven't seen all of it myself, I know its a really good series.
~Pani Poni Dash (anime) - Very bizarre anime about this little 11 year old girl who's a freaking super genius, who goes to Japan to be a school teacher. Definitely a comedy, VERY out there, very amusing. XD
Also, I see you have Labyrinth on your movie list--don't pick up the manga. It's pretty bad, and the artwork is AWFUL x.x I love Labyrinth, and I was horribly disappointed by this.
I have to say I did just watch the Last Vampire about a week ago. I'm really not into horror, though... and since that was what the whole thing was... ~_~; I wasn't exactly crazy about it. I watched Blood+ mainly for character interactions and hid my eyes from the gore as much as possible. I upset very easily and yeah... I'll stop now. I'm totally boring you. HeH.
I did think the whole English/Japanese thing was cool, though. ^_^ And apparently, they're making a live action version? (http://www.animevice.com/news/final
OH! oh! I think you would like Vampire Knight (anime) ... it's not really violent but the blood sucking is a tad graphic ... but in a sexy way. Haha.
And OMG I 2nd Princess Tutu - That is one of my top 5 favorite anime series!!!
Thanks for the recs, Dear! <3
As far as Ps3 games goes? Which aren't to violent or gore filled. Metal Gear Sold 4, is one of the best games ever made, and one of the two ps3 games that have received a perfect score.
It is quite action packed, but there's not much or any gore or anything.
Tokobots (I think?) is also a really cute game for the PSP. I have a copy, but I've beaten it and I don't really want it anymore, so /if/ you want it, I can mail it out to you for $10 shipped (paypal, if you have it). :)
Edited at 2009-03-19 11:16 pm (UTC)
I don't buy games until I find the time to play them, really. I just have two weeks of school left, so time to buy games! :DDD
I'll definitely think about it and let you know! :D
