^ Urgh, I know that feeling. It makes me feel all horrible and empty inside and drives me to read fanfiction and fanart out of desperation, which is a terrible idea because most fanfics and fanart are shit and it makes me feel even worse.

EDIT: Nat. Why not suggest Ouran High School Host Club? It's not magic or magical girl, but isn't completely slice of life either. It's comedy, yes, but it has some romance as well.

But then again she apparently doesn't like yaoi, so Hikaru and Kaoru might turn her off.

Again, I think Gakuen Alice would be a perfect fit for her. It's magic, it has more obvious romance than Ouran, it has its comedic moments but has drama as well, it's cute but not too cutesy, the characters have actual magical powers, etc.

Something exciting and motivational ? Baccano ?

Downloaded and it's on my to watch list, though doesn't look too appealing so far.

How's about Fullmetal Alchemist (manga/Brotherhood anime)? Admittedly, it does go into some very dark places, but it also passes the exciting/uplifting test with flying colours.

What's precedent ever done for us?

Seen all of the manga so I'm not particularly interested in the anime anymore.

It was already recommended in the thread, and declined.

@neobowman: I found the Fullmetal Alchemist Anime (not brotherhood) to be very uplifting, though it's by no means a joyride, maybe you could check it out.

You know what, just recommend her Ayashi No Ceres. She'll love it. It has magic! It has romance! It's most definitely not a comedy!

@Nat The Writer Most of the anime the poster liked are on this recommendations page for Sailor Moon.

Maybe you could just point this "moon12216" in that general direction? Clearly they are beyond our help.

Fuck it, just rec her La Blue Girl and call it a day. There's only so much "I'll reject every suggestion you give for stupid reasons like "I don't like how Sakura uses cards to fight". Now rec me some stuff!" I can take before I devolve to being an asshole.

Fuck La Blue Girl, tell her to watch Night Shift Nurses!

Now, now, guys, don't make fun of people just because they happen to have different tastes.

If she'll do VNs I'd suggest Yo-Jin-Bo. Definitely not slice of life, not primarily a comedy, mostly revolving around romance, but has some magical elements too.

It's not a matter of having different tastes. She just seems to dislike damn near everything.

She did have quite a few series that she liked, though? I do think that the rec page for Sailor Moon will be helpful to her, seeing that a lot of series on there are on her like list.

It sounds really more like a case of being stubborn than actually having bad taste, now that I think about it. I'm sure lots of the shows that have been suggested she might like, if only she would actually try them instead of dismissing them out of hand immediately.

That makes her a different sort of idiot than I first thought...

You just need to delete the "-20%", guys.

In any case, I guess this should work better.
