Cowboy Bebop is my all time favourite anime (NOT manga), and if you're looking for something really twisted, check out Elfen Lied. It's disgusting in just about every way, and yet it has this innocence to it that allows for amazing characters and a fantastic story. As far as reading goes, right now I'm into Old Boy. It's a good time.

Can't say I've seen it to comepare, but Elfen Lied is pretty messed up. It's a short series, so it goes by quickly, but it's totally worth it.

Current season: Clannad is a must-see. It'll be a huge change from what you've watched..but seriously, try some seinen anime.

I'll just throw out some random recommendations:

-Higurashi no Naku Koro ni (this series seriously screws with your mind..I love it though)

-Monster

-Planetes

-Shakugan no Shana (The first season is great. The second season, currently airing, isn't so great..but it's picking up a bit)

-Utawarerumono

-Kanon (the 2006 version is amazing. The writers for this one also wrote Clannad..you'll see alot of similarities between the two)

-Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu (heh..an obligatory recommendation. If you're into reading, the Light Novels are even better than the anime. Baka-Tsuki has them translated.)

-Elfen Lied (another obligatory recommendation..excessively violent with a bit of nudity, but a good show overall)

-Fate/Stay Night (it's actually kinda hard for me to recommend this, since I'm biased and favor the visual novel alot more than the anime. Still, it has a great storyline and characters, even though you'll wanna punch the protagonist in the face on a couple occasions with the storyline arc the anime follows.)

Tengen
Toppa
Gurren
Lagann.

In fact I am once again ashamed for the entire Gamespot community that it took 9 posts for that to be recommended.

and I feel even worse now that I read the word Utawarerumono. I don't have a problem with anything most of the time, but come on. I deleted that one with no remorse.

A few times when I've mentioned Gurren Lagann before, nobody ever commented on it, nor did I see anyone mention it themselves. But it would seem it's starting to become more known to the folks here at OT......cause it's actually quite a good anime I think.

Blasphemy. Who deletes anime?

What exactly didn't you like about it? Seems it's pretty well-liked by most whom I've seen give their opinion on it.

Naruto and Bleach are not really that good. Naruto is crap after part 2. Bleach is crap after soul society.

To summarize without spoiling: the plot twist was retarded. I'll give the first half some credit at least.

Ah yeah, there's a couple "what the hell?" points in the storyline. The action scenes were also kinda boring to sit through. I enjoyed it overall though.

Well I haven't really seen Bleach & Naruto.....guess I'm just not interested enough ;).......though Elfen Lied is a pretty good series. But yeah, it pretty much gets mentioned multiple times every single time a recommendation thread pops up.

Here's a small list that I made from a previous thread similar to this:

Azumanga Daioh

Black Lagoon

Chobits

Code Geass

Cowboy Bebop

Death Note

Elfen Lied (obviously)

Full Metal Panic (no relation to Full Metal Alchemist)

Fooly Cooly

Gundamn Seed (just go ahead and skip Destiny)

Gundam 00 (though it just came out with only a few episodes)

Gunslinger Girl

Hellsing

Higurashi no Naku Koro ni

Lucky Star (don't get discouraged from the first episode, it gets way better after that)

Makai Senki Disgaea

Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya

Outlaw Star

Raimuiro Senkitan

Love Hina was great when it was in print/beginning to air, it's basically responsible for two things: the harem genre and Horie Yui being cast in every series that has aired in the last ..7 years?

It'd probably feel tiring now because, well, the genre is tired. Thanks to all the copies LH spawned.
