Anime recs. Also VM time?

dangermousieAfter I finish FMP (granted, I still have 7 eps of FMP, plus FUMOFFU and The Second Raid to get through, which is over 30 eps total) and the rest of Kenshin, I am out of anime.
I am thinking GetBackers or Trinity Blood, but am also curious about Gungrave (what is that about, anyway). I do have 12th Kingdom lying around as well, but it has no romance at all and no ending, which are both big minuses (the no ending is a bigger one than no romance).
But what I want are more recs, actually (yeah, yeah, I keep asking). I know, I know, I am a pest. With endings that are not too unresolved (e.g. Samurai Deeper Kyo sounds cool but it's supposed to have a completely WTF ending), some love story that has a cool OTP (it can be as central and overt as Miaka/Tamahome or as understated as Vash/Meryl), and nice visuals. Also, hopefully, no preting. Cool male characters, angst, fighting and some neat plot or dialogue is good. Nothing too freaky though.
Also, I am rather interested in anime that is sort of girly fluffy kind (only with oodles of angst). Cool male characters are a must, and I will like a heroine if she isn't weak (I am fine with Miaka who isn't a Nobel Laureate, but I hate Yui, who is weak and wimpy). What kind do I like? I liked Peach Girl, Hana Yori Dango (though I still think it had bizarre animation) and Mars (well, the manga and the live action). Hated Marmalade Boy. I guess it means an anime that, if girly, is not too long, has a decent pace, and some nice angst.
Fave anime so far is Trigun. I've also loved with varying degrees of love: Fushigi Yuugi, Escaflowne, Rurouni Kenshin, Full Metal Panic, RahXephon, Peacemaker Kurogane, Hana Yori Dango and Peach Girl. Ayashi No Ceres was cool (except for the ending) and Cowboy Beebop was neat, with some brilliant eps, but not arched enough for me.
I was indifferent to Last Exile (beautiful visuals, but the story lost me), amused (not in a way makers intended) by Pretear and loathed Marmalade Boy.
ETA: When does Veronica Mars shift to Tuesdays? Is it this week or the next? Don't want to miss it.
