| I noticed that many of the anime that I especially like have this common trait: they are set in a normal world like the one we live in but have just a splash of fantasy within them. Examples of shows like this that I enjoyed: Puella Magi Madoka Magica Cardcaptor Sakura (not necessarily looking for a mahou shojo show though) The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya Durarara!! Angel Beats! (somewhat fits the description) Fruits Basket Death Note Inu x Boku SS Are there any great anime with this characteristic that I have overlooked? A strong cast of characters really helps as well, and I would prefer for it to be a series of medium length (10-30 episodes). Reasons why you recommend would be nice. |
| Fate/Zero: Modern setting with lots of magic/action. |
 Just this once, I'll fulfill whatever your wish is. |
| STEINS;GATE! Kara No Kyoukai Black Lagoon Seconding Fate/Zero Baccano! (even tho it's the past) Hellsing Ultimate |
| Gosick Kara no Kyoukai Kurokami Mousou Dairinin Sankarea Seikimatsu Occult Gakuin Tasogare Otome x Amnesia |
I'm also filled with pure-hearted ulterior motives. |

| Ginban Kaleidoscope Ah! My Goddess Aria series (starting with Animation) Mononoke (And the prequel Bakeneko arc from Ayakashi: Japanese Classic Horror) El Cazador de la Bruja Haibane Renmei - I know the premise might sound otherwise, but it fits very well Kanon (2006) Spice and Wolf Tokyo Godfathers Tatami Galaxy Seconding Occult Academy |

| Mahou Tsukai ni Taisetsu na Koto - slice of life series (plus some drama) about girl that wants to become magic user, in a world where it became just one other service. Kamichu! - world is normal but main character is a goddess (rather shy). seconding Ah! My Goddess Aria |

| Valkyria chronicals or better known as Senjou no Valkyria: Gallian Chronicles (the reason i said this one is because the world is semi normal with little bits of magic) xxxHOLiC |
| "People die if they get killed" who knew. |
| Thank you all for the recs :) I think out of all these, Aria, Kamichu!, and xxxHolic best fit the kind of thing I was looking for. I've seen both Baccano and Steins;Gate and I think that they were pretty good. As for Fate/Zero, I've had in on my PTW list for a while. Someday I'll get around to seeing it. -Miyu- said: I watched it. Didn't like it.Clannad? |

| I don't know why no one has mentioned this yet. A Certain Magical Index. Chuunibyou Demo Koi ga Shitai. |

| you could try: -Mawaru penquin drum -Occult academy (those popped up first in my mind, when i red you are looking for something like durarara!) Well, i don't know if my recommendation will be of any use, but this will: Contemporary Fantasy - precise name of the genre of anime set in today's world but with fantasy added, this could ease up your search) |
