You better watch your mouth boy.
And they were STARFISH... and it was adorable.
but yeah I kinda have the same taste and I would recommend The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya and K-on(Great music and season 2 of the English dub is coming out on DVD tomorrow!)
um I guess maybe Toradora! as well although there is no english dub for that one as far as I know.
Listen to these people,Haruhi was a great show and one of my personal favorites although episodes 15-18 of the second season I would recommend skipping.
(This show is very popular it has 2 seasons a movie and a couple of little spin-offs that are kinda cute but I would recommend watching the episodes in chronological order not in the order in which they aired although some people say it is better that way because of the shows pacing, but honestly I really think its much easier to watch in order.)
Lucky Star is a great one if you want comedy/slice of life and they do reference Haruhi quite a bit.(So I suggest watching Haruhi first)
You could also try Shinryaku Ika Musume its very SoL not a lot like Clannad and is more of a comedy than a drama its about a squid girl who is trying to take over the earth as revenge for polluting the ocean and has the mentality of 8 yr. old its very silly and adorable.
Edit: Angel Beats! still holds spot number 1 on my 10 top anime list with Clannad/afterstory following closely behind. I shall bookmark this thread seeing as it is also helping me.
