I don't really watch newer Anime due to it failing. I will recommend some of the classics I grew up with and well maybe 1 or 2 newer series.
Check out;
Great Teacher Onizuka (Sad to see this wasn't mentioned)
Evangelion
Golden Boy
Tenchi Muyo
Full Metal Alchemist
Love Hina
Trigun
Escaflowne
Death Note
Full Metal Panic (First season only)
Rurouni Kenshin
Highly recommend TTGL. It's a pretty good show, one of the best this season.Originally Posted by chicomagiko

Too bad they didn't put quite the amount of fanservice in the anime as they do in the manga. The anime chops up the way the story flows as well. It's kinda funky.Originally Posted by Venture
Try Seto no Hanayome. It's loltastic.

TTGL should make your short list, preferably on the top.
Gonna list anime I recommand trying. Not expecting anyone to have the same taste, but I believe most of them deserve a try. I listed how many episodes you should watch before dropping the series if you don't like. Favorite are bolded. Use wikipedia to get additional info before downloading it >_>
Action/fighting
Naruto: 200ep+, still airing on TV(ton of filler that can be ignored tho). Typical shonen like bleach and DBZ
Claymore: ~20episode, still airing on TV (watch the first 4 to get an idea of the series). Ambiance is similar to Berserk if you liked that last one
Full Metal Alchemist: 50 episodes. (watch 7-8 episodes, when the series get serious)
Full Metal Panic!: 24+12+12episodes. (watch at least 2 ep of season 2). Season 1 and 3 are serious with good actions, season 2 is one of the best comedy out there. One of my favorite anime
Trigun: 24 episodes. (2-3 episodes). It's a classic that everyone should watch, funny and good. Not enough story, but Vash totally make up for it
Black Cat: 23episodes (watch 4-5episode). Simple story, but character are pretty good imo. Reminded me of Trigun
Escaflowne: 24episodes (4-5 episode). Medieval battle mech...can we ask for more?
Fate/Stay night: 24episodes (watch 3episodes). Character were kinda bland at time, but there was lot of good fight, and story was still decent. Based on eroge (hentai) game, but anime doesnt have any
Rozen Maiden: 12x2 episode x2 (watch 6 episodes). Best soundtrack for an anime, and decent character/story. Was well done
Shagukan no shana: 24episodes (7-8 episodes I guess). Story was horribly cliché, but I ended up liking the character.
Last Exile: 24episodes (3-4 episodes). The story and character were really well done, but lot of people think it's boring
Evangelion: 24 episodes+movie. Another classic you should watch. Not one of my favorite anymore, but it's hard to ignore big name like this.
Horror/suspense/psychological
Death note: 36 episodes (4-5episodes). One of the best anime out there imo. Story is addicting, character development is great and the suspense is really well done.
Higurashi No Naku Koro ni: 24episodes + 2nd season airing on tv (4episodes). Groundhog Day + horror story + comedy. Certain scene are lacking imo, but it's well done in overall
Elfen Lied: 12 episodes (2-3 episodes). Lot of gore and naked people, sad and short story.
Comedy/romance
Full metal panic fomuffu: 12ep (2-3ep). I mentioned it already, but its worth mentioning again. My personal favorite
Excel Saga: 24 episode (3ep). Totally random, making fun of anime cliché and many other thing
Magical Arcade Abenobashi: 12 episodes (3ep). Similar to FLCL in many way. It was a decent anime and random enough to make me laugh
Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya: 12 episodes (3-4 episodes, but ending was the best part). Was well done and interesting story
Lucky Star: 24 ep (watch ep2-3, skip 1). Love it or hate it, people are rarely in between
Hayate no gotoku: 18 episodes so far, still going (5 episodes). Romance/comedy. Kinda went downhill after episode 5 imo, but there is still a decent amount of good joke. Lot of reference to pop culture and other anime
Seto no Hanayome: 16 episodes so far (3-4episode). Same as above, except most joke are contextual instead of being reference to other anime.
Zero no Tsukaima: 12ep + 2nd season airing on tv (3-4 episodes). Another love comedy (my sig/avatar come from that anime). It's mostly fanservice, but still funny if you like the character
Air: 12 ep (watch whole series or nothing) Extremely depressing love story, with a bunch of cute/funny moment
Kanon: 24 ep (need to watch the whole story) Same as above
Death Note anime is full of exaggerations that will make you lol(like for one: epic potato chip eating). Go with the manga... it's pacing is much better too(which is true of all manga).
Trust me! Manga!
Yeah, Death Note manga was slightly better, but it's hard to complain seriously about the anime. There was so many anime that got butchered worst than death note.
Oh lame, they show too much of L's face. Another reason manga was superior, but I think at the point of the Anime's release everyone saw L(he's in the anime opening and all). The unveiling of L was awesome when it wasn't spoiled.
yus i'm mad weeaboo for having all of sailor moonOriginally Posted by Larsa
Kaylia listed like the majority of current/recent stuff/semi-recent stuff, and even though I think some of that's crap some if it's decent too. And I'll even forgive you for getting a lot of the episode counts wrong, Kay![]()
Count might be wrong, but it's still close in most caseOriginally Posted by aers
Did that on top of my mind, and couldn't remember if most series had 24 or 26 episodes.
Which one do you think is crap, beside LS? >_> I'm curious to see, because I havent heard any opinion about most of them
eh the only few that really stand out as I dislike are the aforementioned LS, Naruto, Evangelion (it's a classic but like..ugh), and Rozen Maiden. I like RM's music but Ali Project gets fucking repetative after a while, and some of my dislike stems from unfair reasons. It _is_ a good list though. You're missing some of my favorite series (the one my avatar is from for one) but hey, what can you doOriginally Posted by Kaylia

I dont like Naruto either, but it's hard to not recommand it when the OP list bleach in the first post. It can't be that bad with the amount of ppl watching it. I liked RM and Eva a lot tho, but to each his own I guess :DOriginally Posted by aers
The series I "missed" are probably series I havent watched yet, or forgot about them. You should post the title if you think I missed anything good, because I'm out of thing to watch and have no ideas where to look.I did watch the first 3 episode of Gurren lagen, and wasn't impressed as much as I thought I would. Character arent bad, but I didnt think it was funny and the plot seemed really simple. Either way, I will watch the rest later this week. Probably missed something or wasnt in the mood.
