Guys, I'm here to recommend some Anime series to you all! With some basic information on each one. Anime, for those who do not know, is Japanese animation. I don't have these in any specific order...
1. InuYasha
Main Characters: InuYasha and Kagome
Supporting Characters: Sango, Mirouku, Shippo, and Kirara
Main Antagonists: Naraku, Sesshomaru, and Kikyo
Plot: A girl named Kagome on her 15th birthday, is sucked into the Feudal Era. Here, she frees a half-demon boy who wishes to become a full-fledged demon using the Sacred Jewel. She finds out that she is the reincarnation of Kikyo, a priestess entrusted with the Sacred Jewel to protect it as well as who fell in love with InuYasha(which comes to a tragic end). They are on a quest to gather the shards of the Shikon(Or Sacred) Jewel, which was accidently shattered(in an early episode).
My thoughts: Very great, this long 168 episode + Final Act has most of it's episodes english dubbed.(And the Final Act will have it's Dubbed version released January 21 2011) I'd give it a flexible PG-13 because they swear a little, mostly the same word.

2. Bleach
Main Characters: Ichigo and Rukia
Supporting Characters: Orihime, Chad, Uryu
Main Antagonists(Of First Arc): Hollows and the Soul Society
Plot(First Arc): A teenage boy who can see ghosts runs into a Soul Reaper, who guides spirits to the Soul Society and destroys or purifies Hollows. He gains substitute Soul Reaper power from Rukia(first Soul Reaper he meets) which he uses to defeat Hollows and later save Rukia.
My thoughts: One of the longest animes ever! But the more the merrier ^^
They swear A LOT in this one though, so I rate it PG-14 lol. Overall, the plot is awesome and I really want Ichigo and Rukia to end up together <3 (In the middle of this Anime)

3. Wolf's Rain
Main Characters: Kiba, Toboe, Hige, Tsume, Cheza, and Blue
Supporting Characters: Blue's owner; a Scientist and her ex-husband
Main Antagonists: Human Race
Plot: This story is about four wolves who disguised themselves as humans in order to survive in a world where wolves are hunted and killed. They are on a journey to "paradise" to escape the run-down cities of trash and filth. With them is "the flower maiden" Cheza, a girl created by an artificial Lunar Flower. And later they are joined by Blue who before had tracked them.
My thoughts: Middle length Anime. It's good but BEWARE, it's a very depressing story with an ending that doesn't satisfy some people. It depends on how you interpret it. It's PG for no swearing but I guess there is some blood and such...
I'm glad and regretful I watched it at the same time.

4. Princess Tutu
Main Characters: Duck/Princess Tutu, Mytho, and Fakir
Supporting Characters: Aidol and Duck's friends Duck's friends
Main Antagonists: Master Raven, Princess Craehe, and Drosselmeyer
Plot: A girl named Duck learns she is actually a duck and gains the power to become Princess Tutu. She must recover the heart shards of the Prince, and never tell him she loves him or she will become a speck of light and float away.
My thoughts: A very short Anime, on about 30 some episodes. It's very strange and hard to get at first, also based on ballet. It's good though too and starts out in the best way possible..."Once upon a time, there was a man who died" XD It's about rated PG, with very intricate storyline for the child-like feel it has.
