D.N.Angel

 On his 14th birthday Niwa Daisuke fails to tell the girl he likes (one of the twin sisters Harada Risa) how he feels and is disapointed. Daisuke is kind of a normal teenager except for that he can open electronic locks without the code and also make it through the dangerous obstacle course that is hidden inside his house. Obviosly his family (which is his mother, grandfather and a little rabbit-like creature Whit) has a secret which he does not know about completely.
Daisuke has a talant as a painter and made a portrait of Risa before his birthday. When he looks at the painting on that day however he turns into the legendary Phantom Theif Dark Mousy.
From this day he shares Daisukes body and at night he steals random stuff for a purpose unknown to Daisuke. However he is not the first one Dark has shared a body with. All the males in his family faces the same destiny. Because Daisukes grandfathers only child is his mother Dark had been gone for a longer time than before. Only when the one Dark shares a body with finds his lives true love he disapears. Therefore he is starting to doubt his feelings for Risa more and more and it doesn't help that she has feelings for the mysterious Dark. He is also starting to become good friends with the other twin sister Harada Riku. One of his classmates Hiwatari Satoshi also seems to have the same abilitys as Daisuke. Who does he really love and for what reason does Dark return to steal this stuff?

This is the anime that got me in to the hole genre. I just love the handsome Dark and the fact that he is a phantom thief. For those who does not know these theives warn the police and the victim of the exact time and place he will do the crime. The growing relationship between Daisuke and Riku and at the same time his confusion with his feelings is just to die for. I swear that when dark fly in the sky with his beautiful black wings behind him you will be hooked. OK Dark is kind of a anime crush of mine but the anime isn't bad and I recomend it

Sailor Moon

One day runs Tsukino Usagi in to a black cat with a crecent moon on her forhead. The cat is able to talk and present herself as Luna. She tells Usagi that she is the heroine Sailor Moon, who's destiny is to save earth from dark forces. It's later discoerd that Usagi is the reincarnation of the moon princess Serenity. Usagi's friends áre also Sailor Soldier. Her four closest friends and allies are; Mizuno Ami (Murcury), Hino Rei (Mars), Kino Makoto (Jupiter - is called Mako) and Aino Minako (Venus - also the owner of the male white cat Artemis, whom also has a cresent moon). Usagi's boyfriend (the relationship starts at season 2) Chiba Mamoru is the masked hero Tuxedo Kamen (tuxedo mask) who often helps the Sailor Heroines. He is the reincarnation of the earth prince Endymion, princess Serenity's boyfriend. Beside the main five heroines there are four more; Tomoe Hotaru (Saturn), Tenou Haruka (Uranus), Kaiou Michiru (Neptune) and Meiou Setsuna (Pluto, which still was a planet when this was made). The last Sailor Soldier is Sailor Chibi Moon, or Chibiusa. She is much younger and also Usagi and Mamoru's daughter from the future. Together these teenage girls (exept for Chibiusa and Hotaru who are younger) must fight to protect the planet they all love.

This is the very first anime I ever watched and I still love it. Anime isn't big in my county but Sailor Moon was aired here. Well the first two season were anyway. I remember getting up just to watch this. By rediscovering Sailor Moon I discoverd the whole world of anime. After watching the whole series in original japanese language I just continued forward with series after series.
I just love Usagi's peronality. She is a real crybaby but really pure of heart. Even though she actually doesn't like fighting she will stand up and protect those dear to her. I don't think I was aware of it as a child but she was kind of a road model to me. The relationship between her and Mamoru is by the way just so sweet. A love that travels over time and refuses to let go.
This anime is funny, magical and just beautiful.

Higarashi Kagome is an adverage high school student and her family is running an old shrine. One day by the old well a youkai (demon) drags her in and releases a crystal from her body. After reching the bottom of the well she find herself in feudal Japan. Here she discovers that she is the reincarnation of the priestess Kikio and she meets the hanyou (half demon) Inuyasha.

Bút by an acident the crystal is broken into hundreds of shards and spread out across the country. In order to put the crystal back together Inuyasha and Kagome has to work togheter. He being very strong and she being abel to feel where the shards are located. They travel across the country with their friends the monk Miroku, the demon slayer Sango and the child foxdemon Shippo. They had to fight together so that their enemy Naraku don't get to the shards first.

This anime is very good. It gives you a good laugh and you will fall in love with the relationship between Inuyasha and Kagome. Feelings is growing stronger as the series is going on. The best part is when Kagome gets angry at Inuyasha. He has a beed neckles around his neck and when Kagome says SIT the neckles will fast draw him into the ground, often leaving a hole. Sometimes this is what you is waiting for. The fighting scenes isn't that bad either. Kagome has a bow and is abel to shoot sacred arrows, Inuyasha has a magical sword left by his father and he learns new technics along the way, Miroku has a black hole in his hand that will draw everything in (but he can seel it of), Sango has a gigant boomorang and much knowledge of different kinds of demons, she also has a pet demon Kirara who can grow from a small "cat" into a big "lion", and at last Shippo who uses his fox trickster magic.

One Piece

 My all time favorite anime is One Piece. In this anime we follow the adventures of the pirate crew led by the main character Monkey D. Luffy. His dream and goal is to find the treasure One Piece left by the Pirate King Gol D. Roger and by that become the new Pirate King. As a child Luffy ate the devil fruit Gomu Gomu no mi (rubber fruit) which made his body into rubber. With this ability Luffy is grewing stronger every day. But once you have ate a devil fruit you lose the ability to swim. Luffy does everything to protect his Nakama and to have a fun time in everything he is doing.
Luffy's straw hat (Mugiwara Boshi) was given to him by the great pirate Shanks and a promise was made by them. Luffy was to return the hat to Shanks one day as a great pirate. This hat has given him his nickname Mugiwara no Luffy, as well as the crews name Mugiwara no Kaisuku Dan (strawhat pirate crew).
They will sail the greatest sea The Grand Line to make their dreams come true and refuse to let anything stay in their way.

This anime is fild with action and funny moments. You almost can't go by one episode without laughing. The characters are well thought through and you will fall in love with them all. I have watch this many hours none stop and I still not sick of it. According to me it's not a possibility to become sick of it. This is my all time favorite and always the first anime I recomend.
