Can anyone recommend me an anime that is like Mai Hime, in the facts that it includes: great character developement of both the males and females, the fighting (i prefer the females fighting, but males is fine as well), and a very good drama department, comedy, and romance as well. An anime like this would be nice.

Or an anime like the movie Princess Mononoke: developement, romance, character developement, drama.

An anime, or many animes, like either of these, or with most of their elements would be nice, thanks in advance.

Try Ayashi no Ceres. It has some girls fighting, along with comedy, romance, drama. I really enjoyed the plot, but I thought character development was kept to par compared to Mai-HiME.
Chrno Crusade has some males and females fighting. It also has comedy, drama, and romance. It has a great plot and amazing characters. This is one of my favorites.
Ikki Tousen has males and females fighting, but that's almost all it is: fighting. This struck me as one of the biggest 'guy' animes I've ever seen. Tons of fighting, boobs, and panty shots. I didn't enjoy it for this reason, but it has good fighting.
Also, Tenjou Tenge is a lot like Ikki Tousen. It's very similar in what it contains. The two mentioned above don't have as much drama or romance in them as the first two mentioned, but they have tons of fighting.

In terms of a movie, I suggest Millennium (sp?) Actress or Castle in the Sky. Grave of the Fireflies was also an amazing movie, which is very heavy on drama.

Haha, the "boobs and panty shots" part isn't really appealling to me, only love hina and mai hime executed it well, and I'd rather watch anime without it, but really, i don't care, unless the anime's is good in the end.. But thanks for both the suggestions, I'll find a way to watch them soon. I just got through Tsubasa Chronicle, and am watching Honey and Clover, after that, I'll try to watch these.
