My problem with most anime, is that it basically boils down to Princess Robot Bubblegum.

Only a YuGiOh!!!!!!!!!! nerd can argue with that. Or a Bleach nerd. Or an Avatar nerd, or an Inuyasha nerd. Pretty much just nerds.

Too bad more of them couldn't turn out like Cowboy Bebop and Evangeleon.

07-Ghost(bishis galore and not the sick boy love kind either :p)
It is so very nearly Shounen-ai, though.

I mean, Mikage was totally trying to get in his pants, as was Hakuren. :D
Well I consider it something for the the gay hating closet bishi freaks, and its a good opener to whats in the closest IE full on boy/boy love dramas. If anything its good for the fan girls at heart. AS much as I prefer Aoi hana and yaoi/straight romance stuff if its got a story and characters I can stand I'll watch it.

I have watched all of 07-Ghost twice trying to content to dots but frankly it tries very hard to be ambitious with the main characters less so with the others, it dose have the boy love slant feel to it but its more fun that ZOMG BOY LOVE!!!....

and yes I know when I open my mouth its TMI.....but that's what is so much fun about me :p
That's a very odd coming out...unless I'm mistaken, in which case what are you on and where can I acquire some?

Watch Hellsing or if you really liked Death Note watch Code Geass I promise it's way better.

FYI I been up all night had 4 cups of coffee and getting ready to sleep the day away because I am having trouble staying awkae and all..so if I am rambling more than normal.....

I.............understood less than half of what you just said. Though, I think I agree with you.
I think.

I just thought the whole show was really cute, except I felt Mikage coming back as a dragon or whatever that was, kinda spoiled the sadness of his death.
Just saw this, commenting I am I am, I am being silly about the boy love stuff, despite as much as it tries to its mostly just alluded to if at all, some of it seems more platonic than anything else.

Its a pretty solid show but the whole bishie thing is going to turn off some, thus why I mentioned it.

Yes, I thought you seemed less coherent than usual. I still don't know WTF your saying. Are you a bi chick or are you talking about trannies or bottom-boys or whut?

BTW, your avatar is a mash-up of Mario, Brak and...?

I think you need to detail a lil more what you want in an anime and what you do not want in an anime, or everyone will just list their favs. I only know Death Note from your list, which says to me you enjoy a thoughtful suspense thriller.. I would say Death Note is pretty unique, as far as I know, kinda in a class by itself. Have you checked out the Live Action movies?

As many have said already, can't go wrong with FullMetal Alchemist, arguably, best anime of all time ftw, as well as getting a brand new series coming to America in May 2010 I believe. Any movie by Studio Ghibli.

Excel Saga, funniest anime, potentially funniest thing you will ever see. Escaflowne, Fruits Basket, Romeo X Juliet, best romances. I enjoy Bleach, Slayers,

the multiple dot hack series, an anime based on a video game are pretty thought-provoking, There's .hack//Sign, .hack//Legend of the Twilight Bracelt, and .hack//Roots. Probably more. Roots is the most recent, more action packed than Sign which I've seen. Have not seen Bracelt yet, but it seems targeted for a younger crowd than the others.

Wolf's Rain is also a deep thought provoking anime you might enjoy. Look into that one.

Funimation's Youtube channel has a lot of its anime up for free, including FMA.

My AV I started off with Brak, added the amrio hat then for ze coup de grace I added the 4chan rolling eye smilely, it came to me one day to make it and I did, I like it!

I did this one too

Shingentetsu Tsukihime
Tsukihime only has about 10 episodes but its great
Great
WHAT THE FUCK AM I READING? It's the DEFINITION of adaptation decay.
If you're talkling about the manga being better, I never read it and I assume the OP didn't either. On its own, its a good show

I'm not into anime but it's not that bad, just the bit at the end...
JESUS!!!!!
I watched it when I was something like 12. I really didn't understand what was going on, but I do remember bikers, rape, tentacles and constant name-calling, a.k.a. an average Saturday night.

I hate to admit it but it seems I know a decent amount about animé. So I'll try to suggest a few based on what you listed:
Bleach - Great to start, gets rather stupid... but its still fun to watch if you have a few days with nothing to do.
Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann - Every three episodes it gets more ridiculous, but for some reason that's a good thing.
Lucky Star - Slice of life fun with theme catchier than swine flu'.
Wolf's Rain - I thought it was a bit bland, but a lot of people like it.
Higurashi - I'd say "murder mystery", but it's a bit more than that.
I'd say Chobits but its very mixed up in what it wants to be. Some is pervy comedy, some is thought-provoking monologue on artificial intelligence, some is girly romance and such.

And this reminded me, in all its geeky glory, to watch Sengoku Basara at some point soon. Thanks, Internet!

Monster(I forget how old it is but as far as cop/mystery drama goes its one of the best)
THAT one, how come only ONE person mentioned it? Urasawa is a friggin' god of mystery and nailbiting suspense. Almost everything he makes is pure, solid, gold.

Casshern Sins was ok for a while: self-aware androids confronted with some all-consuming corosion which passes for death to them for the first time and having them desperatly cling to their artificial lives. I couldn't watch is very long, because every one, ESPECIALLY the protagonist, kept whining and angsting about the Ruin (as the corosion is known) to an insufferable degree.

Berserk was pretty good, though you'd better read the manga. The art in the first few volumes lies somewhere deep in the uncanny valley, but eventually becomes one of the best.
Be warned, Miura takes a HELL lot of time to tell a story (running for 20 years now, and nowhere near a conclusion) and a HELL lot of time to release new chapters; around once every two months, if you're lucky.

Everything else I could think of has already been reccomended by everyone before me
