Based on your preferences, you seem like a shounen man; I suggest Cowboy Bebop, as it is consistently ranked as one of the best animes ever. Another one is Rurouni Kenshin, which has a slow start, but it builds very well. I also recommend Magi: The Labyrinth of Magic; it's up and coming, but pretty good overall.

You have to watch it all the way through. Most of the series is character progression; the ending is the killer part, but is only effective if you watch all the other episodes. Also, on Rurouni Kenshin: watch ONLY until episode 62, after that episode, it's utter filler and terrible. Once you're done with that though, watch Rurouni Kenshin: Trust & Betrayal OVAs.

boku no pico, that stuff mind rapes you, don't watch it. now that we've got that out the way i'm watching familiar of zero, its pretty decent. as for my favourite anime, Sword Art Online is definitely one, Soranowoto is another, sunday without god (new and very, very good), bodacious space pirates is decent, black lagoon is good, so's code geass though it can be a tad cheesy at times. Guilty crown would have been on there if the main character wasn't annoying nough that i stopped watching after episode 5. Kensin's good, though read the manga on that one, usagi drop, another favourite, so's my little monster, that one is pretty good.

oh and before i forget, Baccano!, one of the best anime's i've ever watched, its fantastic.

All time favorite: Trigun

My current favorite that is airing right now is "Attack on Titan". Though I am also following "Valrave the Liberator" and "Highschool DxD" as well. "Sword Art Online" is great too. "Accel World" is by the same guy who made Sword Art so if you liked that I highly recommend checking it out and vice versa. "The Devil is a Part Timer" is also interesting if you dig comedy. "Campione" is also good if you like shonen style with some romance thrown in.

Oh and "Coppelion" is good so far but only has two episodes out as it just started airing on Hulu so we shall see. It is a post apocalyptic type setting with three genetically modified females as the main cast. Of course for some dumb reason they also wear school uniforms but no idea why because the tactical situation they are in would be better served with a different set of clothes lol...

why do you like SOA? honest question no troll, I watched the whole thing in two days the first because I loved the series and the second day because I wanted it to end.

during the first half I was like "oh noes! there is no season 2 what will I do when it ends it's sooo good." then I thought what would they do with a second season? get trapped in a different game... that would be super lame. they could do a slice of life re-adjusting to the real world thing that could be good I guess.

and then they did it! they got stuck in another game and I hated every second of it and I wanted so badly for it to be over. that corny villain Jesus christ capcom has better writers.

as far as recommendations for people looking for something good:

I loled

Is a good show - but there's a part of the show that throws the whole thing off for me. I call it a cliche anime problem. I won't tell you what it is until you finished the show.

And more anime threads the better imo :D

My threads better tho :P

I think I may need to rename my thread to be the official anime thread - this one continues to lag behind it.

Anime ftw. Never enough threads about it.
