| Long title, sorry; but what I'm looking for is an Anime/Manga (no preference on which one) in which the MC is constantly helping people, often 'sacrificing' himself to help someone else. The people he helps/people close to him realize this and eventually they all pitch in to help him at some point. In general just an uplifting story, times are shitty right now and I think something like that would be nice to watch. Thanks in advance. |

| Higashi no Eden/Eden of the East + movies http://myanimelist.net/anime/5630/Higashi_no_Eden I don't want to spoil anything for you but you'll see why I say it after you get into it. It's a fantastic watch. Akira Takizawa pretty much sums up your MC description. |

| Silver Spoon It's actually from the same creator that made Fullmetal Achemist, Hiromu Arakawa. It stars a teenage boy named Hachiken who was driven to leave his city hometown to enroll in an Agricultural due to uh.... "domestic issues". But he's unsure of what to do next and then inadvertently learns various things about farm life which start to give him a perspective on things, namely the idea between being efficient and successful vs failing something and being thrown by the wayside. This is something that Hachiken doesn't sit right with especially when unlike him, some of his classmates know exactly what their dreams are and thus develops a compassionate attitude towards his classmates and various animals. |
| None that are really what you are exactly looking for that I can see on my list. Seirei no Moribito does have that feel to it though. Balsa (MC) is a female spear-wielder that works as a bodyguard to make up for the lives she has taken in the past. She rescues a prince in the first episode and is tasked to keeping him alive against his father due to a "curse" the emperor believes the prince has. I personally like it for the art style and the story that went with it. In my opinion, a good watch for you. http://myanimelist.net/anime/1827/Seirei_no_Moribito |
| +1 Silver Spoon Rewrite's what you're looking for. Not an animeyet, a VN. Though it does have a manga. |

Then every episode after that made me love it more and more, now it's in my extended favorites. Most solid character development I've seen in a long time.Hypeathon said: I tried watching the first episode and it didn't seem like that, I know it's quick to judge, but if you and so many others think highly of it I'll give it another shot, thanks!Silver Spoon It's actually from the same creator that made Fullmetal Achemist, Hiromu Arakawa.

| I'll admit that the first episode of the show (like the main character) can seem weak and lacks forward momentum compared to the rest of the show due to adjusting past the strangeness of farm life and seeing an egg come out of a chicken's anus. However, if you do watch the show through the first season and maybe the next, the first episode will make sense in context. It's Hachiken needing to get a sense of the life of his classmates on the surface in order to get to the bigger, heavier stuff about each of the individual secondary characters and their life goals. |
Hypeathon said: I'll definately give it a try then if everyone is recommending it. I thought I was quick to judge it but like some said, the agricultural setting was killing me and I felt the characters where weak.
