crazypackersfan wrote:Hi, this is my first post... I'm looking for some sort of anime to watch, mainly for the summer. I'd probably be most interested in a show with romance and some sort of adventure/action. I'm not exactly the most experienced anime watcher in the world... these are the only ones I've ever really gotten into...
Sailor Moon
Tenchi Muyo (specifically Tenchi Universe)
Pokemon
Cardcaptor Sakura
These are probably all ancient by now. If there's a show that sort of matches my description that's currently airing on American TV (probably Cartoon Network), then that would be best. If anyone could help I'd greatly appreciate it.

Her mom is already mildy biased against anime due to a lack of experience with it (she says it all looks like a bunch of soap operas, she came to this conclusion after watching part of an episode of bleach?). Anyways, she says she would really like to be involved in this part of her daughters life but can't "get into" a series. I personally have seen a very limited amount of anime, so I can't really recommend a series.
One of the mom's favorite shows is CSI, and she likes the whodunit atmosphere of mystery movies. Preferably it would be a show with limited swearing (used when "appropriate" so to speak), and as little sex/nudity/fanservice as possible. It would be nice if the violence/gore/death was moderate or lower (comparable to CSI anyways) also.
If someone could suggest such a series or movie, it would be very helpful in clearing up some misconceptions and biases, as well as make a new convert to the colorful world of japanese art.

ich1990 wrote:Death Note seems to be another excelent suggestion. However, I would like to buy it all in one box set if possible. Has the series been completed in English Dub format?
