Dear Nisrd:

Thanks for responding and for all your suggestions. You noted that all  your favorites are very different and on a number of leves they are, but I note that they do all fit into what I have heard called "the magic girlfriend" subgenre of anime. I'm quoting Wikipedia here: "As Thomas LaMarre states, "Anime fans become familiar with a whole range of female figures that are either not really human (robots, aliens, deities, animals), or that possess extra-human powers of some kind or another (from cyborg enhancements to magical or psychic abilities), which take them beyond the merely human woman."  It seems your choices all ga that way.  I am sure I will enjoy them seeing that my first love was "Ah My Goddess." :)

I watched all of the first season of Spice and Wolf from and have meanwhile started reading the Manga. You can acess those at

Hulu + is showing season one but they only do the dub through episod 5 which annoyed me since I finally got my wife to share these with me. She's used to reading subtitles but there is so much dialogue in Spice and Wolf that is easy to miss the action while reading. (Also I think the English actors do a great job)  I originally got it from WatchAnimeDubhttp://www.watchcartoononline.com/anime/spice-and-wolf-english-dubbed-guide

I will be looking forward to checking those suggestions out. Can you tell me what you thought of my forum question?
