Oh wait yeah. But you can still like Gintama and not like Bleach. How many times do I have to tell you that Gintama isn't typical shonen? :/ You can ask anyone who's seen it.
Dude I don't care about you recommending Gintama, I was just pointing out that he's asking for things that aren't shonen, and that specifically he said "not Bleach"
Severance! You may also want to see some Wolf's Rain. Very nice, fairly cerebral, by the guys who made Cowboy Bebop.
Severance, how much do you like Bebop
OK. I think I know what type of animes he likes, but I still think he would like Gintama, at least when it comes to the serious arcs. He said he wanted something serious, well here's one of many serious scenes:
well i will check out gintama, i already saw the first episode its like bleach, with alittle bit of Melancholy of Haruhi (which is a good anime but dragged on way too long)
I live for the burn...and the sting of pleasure... I live for the sword, the steel, and the gun...
