Appeal to Tradition.
11th Hour was way awesomer. wink
I've also been enjoying an Internet riddle known as Ze?t that draws some of its imagery, music, and puzzle styles from the 7th Guest/11th Hour style.

I'll pay your respects to Pisika, Rikono and Gras then. stare

-takes a stab- Gras = horse, rikono = dog? "Pisika" I couldn't find.

Looks like google has served you well.

-growls- Not Google. Lazy I may be, but not so much that I can't find a half-decent source when I get curious.

I mean, he's cute and all, but if I'm going to go for troubled and young, I'll go for Mute.

Mute certainly appears to have seen her share of sorrows, but her expression is more dreamy than stoic. Ed and the Surveyor both have harder eyes (CLAMP's Syaoran is another one like this). Mute is more innocent than they are.

Two itty-bitty details...
First off, Mute is a boy. A young one, but a boy. And you come to find out very early on (implied in the first episode, confirmed in the second) that Mute's expression isn't so much dreamy as emotionless - he's the incarnation of a fairytale prince who allowed his heart to be shattered in order to defeat a monster raven before the series even starts. Apparently (from what I can gather from the AMV that encapsulated the whole series in three minutes), he winds up under the raven's control for a time - at least from that point on, he seems to have the same either "battle-weary or battle-ready" set of expressions you see on Ed.

eek That's a guy?! I have never before been shocked by the frequent androgynism in anime and every fan has seen some characters who are very difficult to place. But this one? Geez.. o0

What series is he in?

Consider this - he's extremely young (probably prepubescent) and a ballet dancer (which can lend itself to a more "traditionally feminine" physique).

Princess Tutu.

Yeah, but that pic showed only his face. Youthful androgyny I'm very familiar with, but his hairstyle is as feminine as his face.

....-pauses, mulling that over-

Mute is not, by any chance, the title character, is he?

Fair enough. You ought to see Fakir/Fakia, his friend/mentor - I mistook him for Rue (Mute's female partner) a couple times. Fakir has longer and prettier hair than Rue, though.

I think both Fakir and Mute suffer from "Hotohori Syndrome" - being prettier than most of the female characters in the series. Then again, when only one female character (Rue) has anything resembling a bustline, it's not that hard.

*giggles maniacally* No, no, not at all. Princess Tutu is the duck/girl/"magic girl" that has to find the pieces of Mute's shattered heart.

-fights a certainly disruptive burst of laughter- Really, I -must- see this series.

Nothing beats a night of Schubert songs performed by world class celebrities.

Except, maybe, two nights of listening to world class celebrities! xd

Pish no. Just the only of the two that fits within the guidelines.

7th Guest nearly choked Archi.

Besides- if I wanted to go Appeal to Tradition- I'd go with Princess Maker 2.
