Anime covers a LOT of genre's and I felt it worth discussing and recommending various series that are out to anyone who is interested.
The first is a kind of Slice of Life story (so far) called "Interview with Monster girls."
Succubi, dullahans, snow women and vampires... We're a little different from humans and called "demi-humans." Lately, we've been called "demis." This is a stimulating and heartful school demi-human comedy featuring those very unique "demis" and a high school teacher named Takahashi Tetsuo, who's highly interested in learning more about their daily lives and habits.
So far Takahashi is a great viewpoint character. He's good nature, intelligent, curious a little quirky but clearly capable and not prone to the problems many males in anime have ie a hint of skin or female affection sends them into hysteric fits. That said he's not immune to the charms of an adult woman (or adult succubus as the case may be) he's just got enough self control not to let on...usually.
Can be found on "Crunchyroll" a legal streaming site.
Saga of Tanya The Evil
It is June of the year CE 1923. A young girl with blond hair and blue eyes, Tanya Degurechaff, has entered the final curriculum of the Imperial Military Academy and is training at the third patrol line in the northern military district, the Norden Theater, as part of her service to the force. Her training, the first step toward a brilliant career as an aviation mage, should have gone off without a hitch... but things took an unexpected turn.
I wholeheartedly second the "Now and Then, Here and There" recommendation. ANN's review called it the sleeper hit of 2002. It's very dark except for the MC's positive can rise above attitude. I'm not of fan of dark all the time stories so the MC's positive can rise above attitude kept me watching.

Read or Die.
I love Read or Die.
Next time I ever come across one of those "What superpower do you want?" quiz things I'm saying "I wanna be a paper master."
Apologies for sharing an AMV, but it turns out finding clips of paper bending in action w/o music over it is harder than I thought. :/

I like some of them, but I know some people are gloomy-gusses about it and I wanted them to have fair warning before clicking the link.

All is not as it first seems in this anime...but to say more would be to give it away. Check out the available episodes on CrunchyRoll.
I'm sure you remember how picky I am with Anime yeah? well Tanya is friggen amazing and I love it thusfar. Seriously check it out - it never crosses the line into being too gruesome or dark - its not overly cute or fanservicey its walking an interesting line and it has a villain who is really frustrating to deal with in a good way. Tanya owns every scene she's in and its just an absolute joy of a series.
I'm also really kinda enjoying the current run of dragonball super which is also on Crunchyroll right now.

It seems like I"m very easy to please. But maybe I'm just good at avoiding what I wouldn't like, since there is plenty I haven't watched.
For Anime, I am totally unashamed of the fact that I like Cute Girl shows. Lucky Star is the best, K-On and Yuru Yuri are also up there.
