I am incredibly bored. Does anyone know a good action anime or romance anime for a mature male? Good plot and a decent amount of drama?

Maybe some nice manga too. Good art, maybe a little ecchi, thick, enticing plot, decent length (like 35+ chapters) not too much heavy action(art gets a little busy for my tastes). Preferably with the characters being out of high school.

Check my lists for a reference

Please and thank you

If you've never seen the Elfen Lied anime, I'd seriously recommend it. One of the few animes that really stays true to the manga.

I don't like Elfen Lied. 1 it's spelled elven 2 it is too much like berserk. Violence like that gets old after a while.

NightSwan also said that she wanted to peg me, once, but I'm not sure whether to take that as a compliment or a threat...

1. Elven is a totally different thing. The title Elfen Lied means Elf Song in german, so elfen is just the german word for elf.

For anime, I'm liking Gundam 00 for a time burner, but for some manga, Rookies. Not much is out but it reminds me of GTO to an extent. for romance, i usually skip straight to the dramas, so i doubt you'd be interested. (in case you are , Marrying a Millionaire was good, so was Hana Kimi (both jp and tw, but jp was better)

hope it helps to ease some of the boredom.

It sounds too much like the Saw concept, and that is a big turn off.
