Ah, as the title says. I need something like FMA, Terra e or Elfen Lied.Something like gundam seed/destiny is also ok.(coordinators vs naturals) If there is also a focus on military/war, it'll be much more appreciated. Thanks.^^

Quite a lot of Tezuka stuff actually, Astro Boy (especially the 2003 and the manga) and Metropolis come to mind first.

Gankutsuou- While it really has nothing to do with race, you really see the aristocracy prejudice against the poor.

Valkyria Chronicles has all those aspects.

Blassreiter is one of the more overt ones in that regard.
And though not the most recommended, Eien no Aseria certainly takes that path as well.
Such themes also creep into a number of Gundam and Macross titles for obvious reasons.
The various Gensoumaden Saiyuki series also touch on the theme quite frequently.
Crest/Banner of the Stars also deal with this to a degree.

There's numerous others with minor recurring themes to that extent, and ones like Zettai Karen Children that approach the subject, but still keep it more lighthearted.

Also, Pumpkin Scissors and Speed Grapher are also both, like Gankutsuou, very big on the rift between the upper and lower classes. Kiddy Grade eventually gets into this to a degree as well.

Code Geass maybe? It was more like ethnic cleansing...

You should really look at someone's list before recommending something. Or just the profile would have been enough :P

It might sound strange, but the first episodes of Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann are about this (although TTGL focusses on the rebels and not the oppressors)..

Thanks for the recs guys.

I've watched valkyria chronicles,pumpkin scissors and code geass already, and planned to watch all gundam series.XD

I put Gurren Lagann, Gankutsuou, witch hunter robin, eve no jikan and Blassreiter in my PTW list. Of all your recs, those five sound most interesting to me.

More recs please.^^ for the recs, the darker the series are, the better. XD
