i think you will like Vandread, i loved it. (space mechas?) excelent show! (men vs women)
for comedy i would highly recomend furi kuri (flcl) funniest anime ive seen. but i had to watch the entire series a couple times to get everything, and yet i dont get any of it at all! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
