Good thing you're enjoying the Slice of Life shows. Haruhi is so awesome I went and bought all the books that are currently translated. Azumanga Daioh, K-On, and Ika Musume if you want to see more.
FLCL if you want a wacky and deranged show that's ultimately a coming of age story in the end (maybe). Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann if you want something that's a little less wacky, more hot blooded, and has giant robots but is still something of a coming of age/beat-everything-with-your-determination story in the end.
Gundam is good. While you're at it, check 08th MS Team as well. Separate universe from Wing and my favorite Gundam series.

Fullmetal Alchemist 
Brotherhood, for the best Anime), One Piece, Azumanga Daioh, Death Note, Soul Eater, and Fairy Tail are all great Mangas that have good Anime adaptations as well.
Hellsing, Mahou Sensei Negima, and Black Lagoon are great Mangas that have Anime adaptations i can't recommend because they don't cover enough of the Manga.
Cowboy Beebop, Ouran High School Host Club, Sayonara Zetsubo Sensei, Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagan, and Trinity Blood are awesome Animes that either don't have a Mange they're based on or (in the case of Ouran) aren't as enjoyable as the Anime.

Dragon ball z.
Its not amazing as a narrtive like the others, but you'll have a blast watching it.

My god, I just ended the Endless Eight episodes... that was frustrating as hell. I skipped a few of them to try and notice the differences but... that was just annoying.Ganthrinor said:
I'm always surprised Lucky Star and Haruhi get people into anime. They're so heavily entrenched in anime terminology and tropes that it would seem like a terrible gateway, like watching Pani Poni Dash or Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei first.
Anyway.
Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex and the first Ghost in the Shell movie from 1995. They are the best.
Dennou Coil is a work of genius. One of the most deviously well-written anime out there. There's even proper science-fiction in it, as *mad* as that sounds.
.hack//SIGN is also worth it. Don't be put off by the OP, it's an excellent show.
Haibane Renmei. I can't really describe this show and do it justice.
If you like Lucky Star you should definitely give Azumanga Daioh, K-ON! and maybe Hidamari Sketch a try. I love all three, but Hidamari is different in some obscure way.
Don't waste your time with Elfen Lied or Gantz. I come across as hating a lot of anime on these forums (apparently), but it's true that I genuinely hate these two. They are awful.

I'm just glad it's not another DA2/Your Avatar has X/THE PEDO-FILES/Recommend me a JRPG on the PC! (okay, these aren't too common but they are kind of annoying) thread.BlueberryMUNCH said:
I thought Blassreiter was pretty good.
Also: If you haven't seen Akira, stop everything until you do. Talking about anime is nothing but blasphemy until you've seen this one.
It probably goes without saying, though.
