Death Note and vampire hunter 3000 were the only ones I enjoyed. they had a lot of atmosphere and good story/character
if anyone can recommend more similar to those I'd give them a try
Try Bakuman (from death note's author). 2 Seasons.
Also, try Planetes. Its a bit old, but very good.
And if you like the dark, psychological kind, try Death Parade or Shin Sekai Yori (From the new world).
Dark with action: Tokyo Ghoul or Fate zero (and its subsequent series) or Attack on Titans.
Another one: Zetsuen no Tempest.
PS: All are short animes.
Yes.
I read manga on MangaFox and Kissmanga
Do you read Shingeki no Kyojin?
(
IF not, stop here, spoilers follow)
The latest mangas are so much of a turn-off. Ever, since Eren reached the basement, the background story of this all has been..............meh. I don't know, maybe I expected too much from this set-up. But a deal with the devil? I hope they are kidding with us, and that back story turns out to be fake. Otherwise its just a let-down.
Although one part of the narrative that actually met my expectations was how there was no apocalypse and how humanity was not on the brink of extinction. I had hoped that it turned out that way, and it did. Sort of like "the Island" movie. That was the only saving grace the author has in my eyes.
Edit: The fact that Eren is about to die in a few years was a good unexpected twist. And Mikasa's face after she found out. LOL. She looks like she'll collapse. She's already excepted that fate though. BTW, would you call Mikasa a bit of a Yandere? She does try to kill anyone who intends harm on Eren.
