| I'm in the mood for an anime that has a good plot and most importantly, a male lead that is unique and interesting. Here are a few examples so you get an idea of what I'm looking for. Tokuchi, Toua from One Outs (looks weird or scary but very interesting and smart) Neuro from Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro (another one that looks weird but very interesting) Can't think of any others right now but the male main character should be interesting or at least different in some way (powers, personality, dark, genius). Keep in mind that the actual show should be quite enjoyable and have a pretty good plot. Also, if you have any guy protect girl recs, that would be great too. |
| I guess this is where I do my broken-record thing and mention Legend of the Galactic Heroes, which stars this young man, with a side order of this slightly older one. You could also have a gander at Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust, which certainly has an interesting and unique male lead and a passable plot (for what is basically an action movie). It sort of ticks the other box, guy-protects-girl, too, in a roundabout way. Neither of these are exactly straightforward recommendations, for which I apologise. |

| Bakemonogatari had my two favorite male characters of all time, you should really check it out |

Ghost Hunt |
| Our tastes differ somewhat but here are some guys I found very interesting: |
| -animeS - The plural of anime is anime. More than one deer is still deer. There is no damn "s". -epic |ˈepik| noun•a work portraying heroic deeds/adventures covering an long period of time - adjective • heroic/grand in scale or character Active Military, Prior Service, and Veteran's Anime Club http://myanimelist.net/clubs.php?cid=25937&time=1299710079 |
| Ciel from Kuroshitsuji is pretty interesting. Dark, smart, tainted. I'm also a huge fan of Ginko from Mushishi> He's pretty much an enigma Vash from Trigun is pretty awesome once you get about half way through the series. |
| The following male leads might suit your taste in regards to unique and/or interesting: *Yuzuru Otonashi of Angel Beats! has amnesia throughout the series and wakes up to a school that is more than it is. *Train Heartnet of Black Cat is an ex-assassin turn bounty hunter. *Rygart Arrow of Break Blade is unique due to not being able to pilot mecha in a world where everyone can. Also known as an un-sorcerer. The movie comes in a series with the 3rd one just recently being fansubbed. *Ryner Lute of The Legend of the Legendary Heroes is unique in that he is an alpha stigma bearer in a world of magic and fantasy. *Takumi Fujiwara of Initial D is a high school kid who is the fastest downhill driver of a certain mountain in Japan making for an interesting story. Miharu Rokujo of King of Nabari is both interesting and amusing in this modern day setting about ninjas. Think Naruto without the shonén. *Ginko of Mushishi is not only one of my all-time fave characters, but also a character worth taking note of in this touching supernatural fantasy series ...and last but not least, Alucard of Hellsing Ultimate, who has unique and interesting written all over him. |

| Some of these I have seen but quite a few I haven't. Added a couple to my list. Wouldn't mind more recs. |
| As to guy protects girl I was going to say Ayashi no Ceres, Chrono Crusade, Fushigi Yuugi, and/or Hanasakeru Seishounen but you've already seen them. Wish we could find some more of their caliber. |

| If you're looking for a series where guy protects girl with an interesting story to match I suggest trying out Tsubasa Chronicle either on anime or manga (preferably the latter as the anime doesn't cover all of the adaptation). It may seem kiddy at first since its made by CLAMP but the way the story unfolds its brilliant and worth having in your list. |
Minjax said: s-CRY-ed oh yes, forgot to mention this one, definitely seconded |
| I have actually watched a little of tsubasa chronicles but couldn't really get into it. I plan on watching the second season of black lagoon and have watched great teacher onizuka already. Added s-CRY-ed to my list. It looks interesting. BTW, I don't really like mecha which I see in quite a few of the recs. |
