Like anime with no Sci-Fi of Fantasy, like Perfect Blue and Crying Freeman. Is there any more? thanks

There is "Grave of the Fireflies" by Miyazaki. It is very very good, but it's also very very depressing. It's about two young children trying to survive in post WWII Japan.

Noir is really good, it has a very realistic feel to it plus a wonderful setting and Ambiance. You might also like Golgo 13, and Kite (though I found Kite really depressing). Azumanga Diaoh is a pretty good one, it's not really scifi, just a story about normal schoolgirls growing up together. It is a bit more on the humorous side though, so if you prefer the stuff like Perfect Blue then I'd stick to something like Golgo 13.

"Grave Of The Fireflies" is utterly wonderful - "Whisper Of The Heart" is good too if you're of a certain mind.
