Rec me anime!

[oyceter]

Currently I have no kdramas except Gourmet on my list, and I'm caught up with most of the shows I want to watch. Also, I'm in the mood for short episodes. So, rec me anime (but please read the qualifications first)!

• Available on Netflix
• Not too bloody
• Have cool women. I don't mind if they aren't the protagonists or if they don't physically kick ass

For Black Lagoon...hmm. While there's lots of action-y gun violence in the first season, I don't remember it being too bad in terms of blood and grimness. The second season, though, gets very, very dark in terms of Horrible Things happening to people. Some of it's just hinted/implied and it's less in terms of gore and more in the way of serious existential bleakness, but there was enough there to send me scrambling for something lighthearted afterwards. (Which is not a condemnation--I like the series a lot, but it can be rough on the emotions.) The first season does stand alone, so you wouldn't be left completely without and ending if you to try it.

My memory's less clear on specifics in RahXephon, but while it does have its emotionally wrought and sad moments and occasional deaths, I didn't find it to be depressing as a whole. It is very much a love-it-or-hate-it series, though, just as a warning; if you really loved NGE, you may find it to be too similar.

Ack, sorry--Moribito's currently running on Adult Swim, so I thought for sure Netflix would at least have the first DVD by now. Hopefully it'll show up soon!
