Action Comedy: Much like ACTION (Lots of shooting, explosions, and the like) except it has comedy thrown in as well.
Self-explanatory. High school (grades 10-12) should play a major role in the title. Azumanga Daioh is an excellent example of this category. A typical High school series will include a Sports Festival, a Cultural Festival, and a school Trip.
Action: Lots of shooting, explosions, and the like. Contains subcategories of more specific types such as Gun-Action, Martial Arts, and Swordplay; see also: Fighting.

Kurosaki Ichigo is not your ordinary 15 year old, because he has always had the ability to see and interact with those spirits and ghosts that remained behind and are hidden to ordinary people. And one fateful day, a female Shinigami (soul reaper) named Kuchiki Rukia appears before him as she is hunting for an evil spirit. During the confrontation with the daemon, both Ichigo and Rukia are seriously injured, and Rukia has to transfer her powers to Ichigo to assist him in defeating the evil Hollow. But in doing so, she loses all of her power and she now expects Ichigo to continue in her task of fighting and defeating those fallen spirits whom she calls Hollows, who exist only to devour other innocent souls. |

 Full Metal Panic ~Fumoffu~ |
Buy | This is the sequel/sideseries to Full Metal Panic and follows the manga. Now that the events in FMP are over, Sosuke and Chidori are once again classmates in high school. However, Sosuke hasn't lost any of his military training and starts things off by blowing up his shoe locker after discovering someone had been in it and may have booby trapped it (a girl had left him a love letter in the locker). From there, it just gets better as the series parodies various elements of Japanese life or just has the two in wacky school-related adventures. Will Chidori and her trusty harisen be able to whack Sosuke into a normal man she can have a relationship with? Or will Chidori become more like Sosuke and become a military babe he would really love? |
