Are there ANY Anime Shows that have two brothers as Main Characters?

Okay so the shows I have seen that are remotely close to my question are:

Digimon Frontier
Blue Exorcist
Vampire Knight Guilty
Nighthead Genesis
Black Blood Brothers
Naruto/Naruto Shippuden
and the Remake of Supernatural.

But that can't all be it!!!!!!!!!

I wanna know if there are any shows out there that I'm missing! My conditions are: They HAVE to be brothers, twins or not as long as they are brothers:

They both have to be good and care for one another, as in good old fashion brotherly multiple hugging, a big brother being over protective of the younger one and would sacrifice anything for the younger brother. NOT one good and one evil cause that usually ends with one dying:


It HAS to be in English Dubbed, no Japanese language, I found a show once that I REALLY wanted to watch but it was in frickin Japanese, pissed me off royally!:

Action packed kickass fighting but also has meaningful brother bonding and a kickass story and plot:

And like the title says they have to be the main characters!!!

(No one suggest Full Metal Alchemist, i don't want to watch the show.) I don't want any suggestions that involve the brothers as yaoi, no yaoi! Just protective big brother/younger brother brotherly love, please.

Try Mawaru Penguindrum

But it relies heavily on story instead of nonsensical action, so it be might beyond your tastes. It matches just about everything else though.

I have watched a little of Mawaru Penguindrum, and like you said, it is beyond my taste, for the simple fact, it was confusing as hell. If I knew what was going on, I maybe would have liked it enough to finish it.

Do you have any other suggestions?

Nope sorry mate. It's hard enough trying to come up with an anime starring brothers.

Fruits Baskets has brothers in the main cast, but its a shoujo so not for you.
Trigun kind of has brothers, but the other brother doesn't come in the picture until later and then it get's complicated. And the anime is old by most people's standards.

Your best bet is to just watch Gungrave. The two main character's aren't brothers but they might as well be with how close they are. Exceptional anime imo.

This works too, but it's more of a best friend brother relationship, and not siblings.

+1 for both Gungrave and Mawaru
As for suggestions, you could try Rainbow. It has no blood-related brothers but there are strong brotherly bonds. But unfortunately, no Dub for it.

I didn't mean that FMA had yaoi, I meant I didn't want anyone to give me animes about brothers that look like or are yaoi. I'm not about that yaoi brothers life, bleh. 😐

I don't watch FMA, so it could have yaoi, I have no idea.

I apologize if I confused you.

Oh no worries, sorry I couldn't suggest any series that fit your description.
There is one I can think of, Shikabane Hime but I didn't like it too much and ~spoilers~

I know you don't watch FMA, but give it a try! I don't know what your reasons are for not watching it, but I'm telling you it's really worth it. Their brotherly relationship is just so amazing. Ed (older brother) would literally do anything for Al (younger) and always makes him an exception for anything. He would sacrifice anything for Al, and puts him first before anything. There are loads of lovely brotherly scenes and I guarantee you, they will make you either laugh so hard, cry, or squeal just as much, or even all three at once! Don't miss out on this great anime, and as I said, it's worth watching despite the large number of episodes, or any factor that's holding you back from watching it. It totally changed my perspective on anime and even after watching so many others, I'm proud to say it's still my number one!

note: If ever you do watch it, watch the first adaptation before Brotherhood. It's more understandable and well, it just feels right to be watched first
