Yes, there are still great animes out there! One of them is the anime Elfen Lied. I suggest 16+ for this, as in first look you might yell "omfg liek hentai pl0z!!". Well, it isn't hentai. >.> So hut up about that.
In a research facility on a little island in the sea, a diclonius called Lucy is guarded by several guards who fear her. She's bound and wears a metal mask on her head, so she can't clearly look around. Using her vectors (telekenetic hands), she kills the guards around her, grabs the keys and escapes. As the party starts, she kills every guard in sight by using her vectors, guns or other objects lieing around the floor. Walking around naked, killing all the guards she can kill and giving the walls a new redish color, she meets Director Kurama, together with another army of guards. As one of the clumbsy receptionists slip out and fall infront of her, Lucy rips her head off and uses her body as a shield to protect herself. After the newly added blood-fountain, Kurama orders the guards to shoot her. After a short while, the guards stop shooting because they ran out of ammo. She slowly walks past the group, killing them one by one and slowly walks past Kurama, walking outside the facility to find her freedom. Unlucky for her, a sniper shoots her against the head and she falls in the sea.
A young collage student, Kouta, walks along the road meeting his cousin Yuka. They have a little chat because they didn't saw eachother in eight years. Yuka suggests to take a look at the beach, so they did. After re-capturing memories from the shells on the beach, which Kouta's dead sister liked to collect, they see a naked girl with horns infront of them, bleeding. After seeing the two, she tries to run away, but slips and falls with her head in the sand. Yuka feels sorry for her and forces Kouta to give his shirt to her. The three walk back to Kouta's new house, the Maple Inn, and decided to call this girl 'Nyu' (Or 'Nyuu', varies in translations), because she kept saying Nyu all the time.
The facility sends out a soldier called Bando (Who likes to kill) after Lucy. Shortly after arriving at the beach, his group starts the investigation. In the meantime, Kouta found a shell and gets a sad face. Nyu thinks the shell is making him sad, so she breaks it. That wasn't the smartest thing to do.. Kouta stands up and starts to yell at Nyu. In tears, she runs away, to the beach. She finds Bando and another soldier and tries to run away. She slips again and falls behind some logs. Nyu knocks out and Lucy appears, killing the soldier who was with Bando. Now the fun starts, Bando vs. Lucy. Using her vectors, she throws huge things at him, while Bando only has his rifles. In the end, Lucy escapes and Bando is left without any limbs.
Mayu, a homeless girl who got abused by her father, finds Bando and calls the hospital. She meets the group and they ask if she wants to live with them, knowing about her current state as homeless.
The facility tries to re-capture Lucy, again, so they send out diclonius number 7, Nana. She was tortured for years as a test-subject. She isn't able to give birth to children either, unlike Lucy. Director Kurama acted like a father to her, and asks Nana if she wants to do him a favour: To trace Lucy and bring her back.
So she sets off in a helicopter to our quiet little town, in search of Lucy. They meet eachother and start fighting. Nana doesn't like to kill people, so she just tries to capture her. Unlucky for her, Mayu walks into the battle and gets knocked out of the field within a few seconds. Nana gets distracted and results in missing her limbs. She gets ordered to be killed, but Kurama decides to give her artifical limbs like Bando got after his battle with Lucy. He sends her to the mainland with alot of money and orders her to run away as far as she can. And live a happy life.
Kouta's past keeps showing up, how he met Lucy as kids and how his sister and father got killed by her. The final act of the facility begins. They send out their last diclonius, the real daughter of Director Kurama. So the final battle begins between the three diclonius. Who will win?

Anime AIR Based on the Dating Sim A I R, Key proudly made it into the tv series AIR. Like most of their series, it's based on a theme. AIR is based on the summer theme.
Kunisaki Yukito is on a quest to find a girl with wings. His mother told him about the legend, so he could continue her quest to save her. He ends up in a small town near the sea where he holds puppet shows for money, with the doll he got from his mother. He meets a girl called Kamio Misuzu, who tries to befriend him from the moment she saw Yukito.
Yukito rudely tries to ignore her kindness, but still ends up staying at her house. Misuzu is eager to play with Yukito. Like throwing water at eachother in the sea, running along the beach, playing cards and waving bye-bye when they go home. Misuzu has an obsession with dinosaurs since she was little. Thus, she keeps saying the praise 'Gao!', the sound which dinosaurs made.
As Yukito tries to earn money in this strange little town, his doll gets kidnapped by a dog called Potato. He doesn't bark, but yells 'Piko, Pi, Pikori!' (Kinda sounds like a Pokémon, huh?). Potato leads him to a girl who is on the same school as Misuzu, called Kirishima Kano. She has a yellow ribbon tied to her right-arm. Her sister told her that she can use magic when she takes it off when she's grown up. 
Another weird girl Yukito meets is Tohno Minagi. She's in the same class as Misuzu and is the creater of the astronomy club. She's tall and shows no real emotion. But when you get to know her, you'll see she's a caring and loveable person. She has some troubles in her family, so she usally ends up playing with Michiru, who has the same name as Tohno's younger sister who died at birth.
The past of these girls are revealed through the storyline, which will also bring us back 1000 years in time, when Winged-beings existed and were a threat to mankind. Yukito's Ancestor, Ryuuya, had to protect Kanna, a female winged being. Eventually they fell in love, but Kanna died with a curse by the monks. Ryuuya got also cursed, because he was the one who Kanna loved. He made a child with his companion, Uraha, and tought their child how to use magic with the doll and the history of Kanna. Eventually, Ryuuya died by the curse.
As the story goes on, Misuzu talks about the dreams she got after she met Yukito. They were about a girl with wings, who had sad dreams. They start to turn worse, and its rumoured that she will loose her memory and finally die after her last dream. Yukito tries to prevent this with the history and the doll obtained from his mother.
AIR is a relaxing story in the beginning, but gets sadder nearing the end. In the jump back in time, there are rather violent scenes with murder and blood, so some people will still get their needs. =/
It's an unusual story and it doesn't really look like it's made from a Dating Sim. In general, AIR is a great anime and a must-watch!

The history of the film includes more than 10 years in the life of the hero Takako Tono, which have their origin in the beginning of 90-x years in Japan. A very unusual fact is how the world around them in the early stories are copied between the letters, as well as communications in the early 90-x years in Japan was expensive and not available to many people, a little later with the development of technologies in soobenosti wireless connection, you can seen as Takako Tono in the third part of the film takes the phone, has already e-mail instead of sending simple letters as it was in the first part ...
