I LOVED the first half of RK (the Shishio arc). It was seriously amazing. Everything after that, though...erm...yeah. I prefer to pretend the 2nd half doesn't exist. For some shoujo stuff, I used to be pretty obsessed with Fushigi Yugi and Fruits Basket. FB is actually very good, FY...not so much. It's a great show for any teenage girl, though. I also liked Prince of Tennis (not shoujo, but it might as well have been). That show actually had me playing tennis and watching Wimbledon.

Actually, if you read the RK manga after the Shishio arc ends, it's completly different than in the anime. You see, in Japan the anime caught up to the manga right after Shishio, so they layed on around 40 filler episodes that were never in the manga. While these fillers were airing in Japan, after the Shishio arc, there was one more arc that was created in the RK manga, and it's just as good as the Shishio arc.
It's too bad that the 40 episodes of filler that the anime was running at the time actually caused anime ratings in Japan for the anime to decrese significantly, and the show was canceled without ever reproducing the final "real" arc after Shishio in the manga. The only way to get figure out what happens in the final arc, to this day, is to read the maga. Do it!
