Next is Gungrave for me. I love the main character Brandon Heat, and of course, all of his buddies. Even though the story goes into a fantasy/supernatural theme, the actual anime is about friendship, loss, making decisions that can certainly have rough consequences and most of all, trying to make it in the world and not end up in a place you would prefer not to be at.

I am certainly old school with the anime that I usually choose, and that certainly is the same with Cowboy Bebop. With a unique and exciting story in each episode and a soundtrack to die for, what else can you ask for? Well... a main character that is adorable, dangerous, and crazy and certainly a troublemaker, and those traits will make you love him even more ~ Spike Spiegel.

These are not really in order, except for the top two I would say, but this one is certainly in the top five, and that is Trinity Blood. Any story that has vampires in it is something I am going to check out, but this one has some very sexy twins in it and they are certainly the good and evil of all siblings. Go Cain and Abel!! (o';'o)

Yami no Matsuei or Descendants of Darkness in English is a fascinating look at shinigami who take care of souls and helps them along to heaven, they also fight against evil, until the cute Tsuzuki bumps into the gorgeous, but dangerous, Muraki. This was the first anime I saw that had a little yaoi in it, but this was not meant to be a yaoi anime, yet that made me like it even more. However, it was not all the main characters that I liked, it was Oriya, who was Muraki’s friend. He has long hair, and any character with long hair, I certainly love!!

What anime list is complete without Weiß Kreuz ? Aya and Yohji were certainly my fav of the four flower shoppe worker/super assassin guys, but I also have a soft spot for both Brad Crawford and Schuldig from the super evil group, Schwarz. The anime is full of excitement and fast action, and some cuteness with the flower shoppe antics.

The very first Yaoi anime that I ever saw was Gravitation, and it is still in my top ten favorite anime. The story is about a very unlikely pair, one of which is the bubblegum cute Shuichi Shindou and his overly-cynical and sometimes mean Eiri Yuki. I love Shuichi and his always optimistic self who just knows that Yuki is going to fall in love with him as much as he is in love with Yuki.

I am usually not a fan of high-school age anime, but there is something wonderful, endearing and certainly extremely funny about the guys and stories in Ouran High School Host Club. I love all the boy characters, of course, but even Haruhi Fujioka is an unforgettable character, and even though she is the one that has to dress up as a boy and work at the Host Club because she broke a million or more yen vase, it is she who is the one that has the boys tied around her finger.

A couple of newer stories that I like are D.Gray-Man and Baccano!. The first is about exorcists who, with the help of their innocence and friends, rage a battle against the Millennium Earl and his lost soul Akuma that he creates to help him.

And the other new anime, Baccano!, which means Italian ruckus, goes back and forth through the years showing the story of a group of people who become intertwined together through various events in their lives. Many are brought together by events on the "Flying Pussyfoot", a train that goes from Chicago to Manhattan, and many others from drinking an elixir that makes them immortal. It is an interesting and certainly fast-paced anime, but one that I highly recommend.

Even though these are listed as my favorite top ten anime, there really are so many more that I am sure I could have included to make a top 30 or more, and I certainly would not have been able to decide what order they all were suppose to be in, except for the two at the top I listed here. ヽ|◕＾ڡ＾◕|ノ
