Gintama
or
Hunter x Hunter

Both epic, Gintama being the most epic. But HxH have a wonderful and cozy feeling.

Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica. As the title suggests it's a magic girl series but it is much darker, it isn't a slice of life, fluff series. I'd say it's the best anime to air this year. I would also recommend Hidamari Sketch, which is a slice of life series but I have to recommend it because I just love it.

Full Metal Panic 1st and 2nd Raid - a great mecha anime

After that watch Full Metal Panic Fumoffu - it's a spin-off. Characters are the same but story is more comedy oriented. It's the funiest anime I watched in my entire life.

Area 88 - "an oldie but goodie" Story is centered around merc pilots.

I dunno, I think you should watch FMP in order which is FMP --> Fumoffu --> 2nd Raid, watching Fumoffu AFTER would be kinda weird, it feels like that would kinda mess things up.

Perverted stuff, lots of sexual inuendo. HOTD imo is way over the top with it, but the show still manages to be enjoyable. Best I can do to describe it is an anime version of zombie B movies.

Berserk is a more old school dark anime but I'd definitely reccomend it. Haven't watched anime in a while but Berserk was really really good from what I remember.

Canaan to this day is one of the best animes I've seen in my life- Its pure epic, -fooly cooly (FLCL)...I'm still sad its only 6 episodes :cry: -Garden of sinners is a dark anime (they're 1 hour long movies 6 of them its some graphic stuff though) -Ghost in the shell, i only just started it. its pretty good. my current favorite is To Aru Kagaku No Railgun. -Last Exile because 2nd season is on the horizon. -Oh and Black lagoon because a 3rd season just came out (actually it was an OVA but the last episode of said OVA just came out). -Samurai Champu is Very good too.

Somebody already suggested it, Samurai Champloo is a really awesome anime. It's not as good as the previous work the director made, Cowboy Bebop, but it's still better than half the anime you've already seen.

Gurren Lagann is another good one. Neon Genesis Evangelion is good too, but the ending really sucks.

Beck: Mongolian Chop Squad. It's about a band trying to hit it big. Go on youtube or hulu and watch the first episode. It's a great show, I put it in my top five.

Beck does look interesting and I have come across positive review of Eden, will check them out eventually.

Haibane Renmei *

Baccano! *

Spice & Wolf

Natsume Yujinchou

These aren't animes filled with action sequences, neither do they have more than 25 eps per season. Some of my personal fav animes I have experienced are listed here, if you are looking for something different than the conventional mainstream anime series, do give them a look.

Yeah that ending... I did find out that you have to watch the movie before the very last episode, it helps makes sense of things but it's still a mind basher.

If you like Cowboy Bebop, then watch Samurai Champloo. Same director, pure awesomeness!

Gintama if you like comedy and Hunter x Hunter if you want a good story shounen (better than One piece, Naruto, Bleach and Fairy Tale imo)

First season of Darker than Black is good.

The second season is indescribably terrible.

But the first one is really, really good.

- Puella Magi Madoka Magika (aka Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica): Quite possibly the best anime that has aired since Evangelion. If you decide to watch give it until the end of episode 3 before you decide if you want to keep watching or not (the first two episodes are very deceptive). - Neon Genesis Evangelion: Widely considered to be one of, if not the, best anime ever created. Make sure to watch the movies too since they continue the series. - Akira: It's a movie, not a series. However, it's considered to be a masterpiece and was more or less single-handedly responsible for introducing anime to the West. - Elfen Lied: It's a love it or hate it show. Judging from the anime you've watched you'll probably love it. - Ghost in the Shell: Cyberpunk, most people like it. The original movie was the inspiration for The Matrix. Note that while the whole series is good, the first movie stands above them all since the second movie and the TV series got full of themselves and started dishing out heavy exposition on politics and philosophy. - Higurashi no naku koro ni: Most people who watch it like it. It can get heavy on fanservice at times though, usually at the beginning of each story arc. At the very least you should watch Akira and Evangelion since you really can't call yourself a fan of anime if you haven't watched those two. It's like being a film buff but never having watched Citizen Kane. Madoka, imo, is right up there with those two and the only reason it's not as highly revered yet is that it only finished airing back in April. Also, if you're in the mood for some drama check out Clannad, The Girl Who Jumped Through Time, and Ano hi mita hana no namae o bokutachi wa mada shiranai (currently still airing but already the best thing airing this season).

No, there is not good anime to become obsessed withxaos

What he said. It's okay to be a fan of something, but not an obsession. Do you really want to be the fat guy cosplaying Sasuke? Really? No, you don't.

That being said, about 98% of this list is worth seeing (ignore **** like Hyakka Ryouran, Togainu no Chi, Dragon Crisis! and to an extent Onii-chan no Koto because that sucked apart from some characters when they were the focus of the ep. So about 3 or 4 episodes out of 13 are worth seeing, not the rest)

Fairy Tail

dercoo

Fairy tail? Oh god no, just read the manga. I'm amazed you've watched all of those but havent watched one piece.

Fairy tail anime and manga are both amazing, and better then one piece

Kind of an old post but I had to respond to it. I started reading Fairy Tail and liked it and continued even though there were signs that it was going in the wrong direction but after reading todays chapter all I have to say.

Probably the worst manga ever! The entire series is just fan service the only reason I read it was because of the interesting powers could make for great fights which it did at first but now its to the point where its just a softcore porn manga with maybe 1 or 2 chapter long battle for variety, I've made up my mind to discontinue reading Fairy Tail.

On topic: Hajime no Ippo and One Piece are great but OP is very long and it starts slow but consistently gets better after every arc.

Honestly, the only anime I can stand is Ghost in the Shell; everything else is just this terrible. It's either pandering to dorky/nerdy males who can live through the anime and feel like super heros, has some stupid female lead character in overly revealing clothing going "Suki-chan, hehehe" and giggling or gasping at every turn, extremely violent or macho in some way. That said I do like anime movies, mostly Miyazaki's stuff which I think is wonderfully animated, adventerous, innocent and just all around fun to watch. And of course Ghost in the Shell which I like because it's (somewhat)realistic and smart without being overly macho or portaying females overly sexualised.

welcome to the NHK

but it's still one of my favorite series out there nonetheless.

Sounds like all you've watched is shonen and slice of life shows. Try watching Neon Genesis Evangelion, Ergo Proxy, Serial Experiments Lain, Texhnolyze, Jin-Roh, and Grave of the Fireflies. It's all right up your alley. Even Evangelion which will, admittedly, at first seem like everything you hate but by the end becomes one of the most cerebral and intelligent anime out there.

I liked hikaru no go, not sure if its your type of anime or not, its a bit older
