Question
i need a list of anime where the charaters are willing to sacrifice them selves for others or the ones they love?

Answer
Well, in most anime, you can find at least one character willing to sacrifice themselves for others.  It's a common altruistic theme in anime. Any list would be too long and wouldn't begin to cover the amount of anime that could be covered with this theme.

However, some generalizations.  Magical Girl anime (Sailor Moon, Cardcaptor Sakura, Mysterious Thief St. Tail, etc) have this as a major theme.  Alot of recent shounen manga have this too (Bleach, Naruto, Shaman King)

Though the really big one that's all about sacrifice is Tsubasa Chronicle.  The main character sacrifices his entire relationship with his close female friend (almost BF and GF relationship) to save her life

I can answer most general questions about most series. Recently, I have been watching Bleach, Tenjho Tenge, Rozen Maiden, DearS, Kaliedo Star, xxxHolic, Sorcerer Hunters, Noir, Chobits, Ojamajo Doremi, Naruto, and Digimon, so I am more immediately familiar with these series. I am knowledgable in manga as well, some Japanese/American cultural differences, and 'ecchi/hentai' as well. Also, I have some knowledge in anime related live action TV shows, radio broadcasts, and musicals I try to avoid Americanizations of anim

Experience

I have watched anime since the mid 90's and collected manga for just as long. Also, I was a regular customer promoted to employee at my local anime/manga shoppe for about a year before I couldn't afford it anymore. Also, have done some dabbling in drawing fanart and manga.
