I'm obsessed with anime (duh right?) I always mention it, even though I don't mean to. It just kind of comes out. Like in one of my classes we're watching Se7en and I briefly mentioned I was practically an expert on the sins because of fullmetal alchemist. W/e. Anyway, my friend like always asks about it, and I want to show her an anime. But what should I start her off with?
There are some I know are off limits, and those are the long ones like Inuyasha, Bleach, Naruto, etc. She really likes things that make you think, and are a bit dark in nature. Any ideas?

One that's pretty short that I enjoyed was 'Murder Princess'. It's 6 episodes, it's not all that dark untill the last 3 or 4 episodes but it's pretty good and always leaves you in suspense at the end. A pretty dark one I would say is Blood + which is 50 episodes a lot of blood and gore though. And then there's WitchBlade which was just made into an anime and is pretty hard to find, but that one is 24 episodes and kind of makes you think and try to figure out what's going on. Hope this helped a bit!

Love cowboy bebop. :-P
She doesn't like science fiction though. I know that for a fact. Truly sad.

If she likes the X-Files....I recommend Witch Hunter Robin. I LOVE THAT ONE!!
And if she's into something more adult-themed,try Gungrave. It's The Godfather Meets Anime in the best way.

Elfen Lied is one of the darkest anime I've ever encountered. I recommend it. And Neon Genesis Evangelion.

hmmm,...no scifi that's dark,...and short,...difficult one for me, I'm more into the fighting animes, but if she's into darker stuff, Noein might work,...or maybe Blood +, I haven't been one for watching darker anime,...

Late reply...sowwie...but if you're still looking for an anime to show your friend that's both dark and it makes you think, try Paranoia Agent...that one STILL confuses me!

I don't think so, sir.
