THRILLER IS MY FOOD!

To Nofan: Is Honey and Clover avaible on DVD here in the US?
Anyway back to youre question. Whisper of the Heart is the best animated movie I've ever seen. You have got to check it out. Marmalade Boy is another really good series. One anime/manga that is alot like KareKano is: Kodocha(Kodomo No Omocha). It's a relatively unkown series that shares alot of the same dynamics of KareKano. Its extremly hyper though and the characters are a bit younger. I've heard it described as, "Marmalade Boy on crack". Once you get farther into the manga though (about half-way through) it will get more serious and IMHO alot better. But its amazing from the start. You will probably have to order the manga from something like a Barnes and Nobles because Tokyopop no longer publishes it. The DVDs can be easily found from funimation.com or zstore.com though. The anime runs through about volume 7 of the 10 volume manga. There are two seasons avaible in Japanese but only the first has been dubbed.

WellI'm guessing you don't know torrents do you? One you can buy is School Rumble but only the first dvd is released. The first couple of episodes are somewhat less entertaining but later we gets some hilarous romance comedy.Another is Full Moon and Please Twins. Full Moon is about a girl trying to be a singer even though she's physically weak and may die in a couple of yers. Please Twins is story about an orphen boy trying to figure out which of the two girls he meet is his real sister.

whisper of the heart is a great movie!!!!!!!!!!!!! host club is good too. im going to start reading honey and clover and u should see/read marmalade boy
Are you koo koo bananas?

I agree, ouran is awesome, I've only seem the first ten or so eps on crunchyroll.com, i dont think you can get it on dvd yet (or at least not in australia) but its up there with the best shoujo anime.

"Peach Girl" and "Bokura ga Ita" and "Ouran High School Host Club" is also great but it's more comedy I guess.
Look up the genres you like in www.anidb.net

try Honey and Clover and Nodame Cantabile
