Literally is a life changing show. I could try and explain how-so, but mere words can not truly encompass the awesome of TTGL
Seconded. Definitely one of the most incredible series I've ever watched, and I'm not really even in to anime.
+ Show Spoiler +The ending is soul-crushing though.

Wow thanks for the responses everyone. I don't like to watch multiple series at once so I think I'll finish Ergo Proxy first unless it becomes really bad. After that I'll go with Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann since a lot of you recommended that.

Trinity Blood blew your mind? Ha ha, that anime is so bad.
Not going to argue here as the topic is purely subjective and I'm not too knowledgeable in it, but would you explain why you think it is bad? When I said it blew my mind it was more in the sense of it shattering my belief that most anime sucks. I'm not going to claim it's a masterpiece but I certainly enjoyed it and didn't find too many faults.

When it comes to anime don't question other people about their likes and dislikes. =P That is the #1 rule. There will always be people who hate anime that you think are amazing/complete masterpieces and vice-versa.
For the record I rated Trinity Blood an 8. I really enjoyed it. ^^

The anime has a lot potential but that's all. The characters were really disappointing, I don't even know whether I liked even one of them. Worst of them all was the pope. The second big screw-up is the story, I don't even know what they did with that. The beginning is bad and the story finally starts in the second half of the anime which isn't a positive point either, considering that it's a 24 episode anime. The end is pretty rushed. Don't know whether they know about pacing but they sure didn't pay any attention to it. And for the people who read the manga, there were also several things left out.
Watched it several years ago, so I don't know all the small details anymore, but the general issues should be fine.

You rate everything super-high, so that doesn't say anything

08th MS Team
08th MS Team is probably the best ... ever. I highly recommend it.
Cowboy Bebop and Samurai Champloo are pretty awesome as well. I'm not a huge anime fan, but I really recommend these three.

kemonozume + bakemonogatari
though you might not be able to appreciate those until you've seen most of the crap anime regurgitates at you

I doubt that he wants to look into the hentai genre.

I'm an older guy, so I can recommend some older series. If you like mecha, I would recommend Dual!. My top 4 favorite anime (in no particular order):
Initial D - Main character kicks ass downhill mountain racing in a 1985 Toyota Corolla (!)
Fushigi Yuugi (The Mysterious Play) - Shoujo and Fantasy/Storytelling genre, heroes have special abilities, etc. takes place in ancient China
Shoujo Kakumei Utena (Revolutionary Girl Utena) - shoujo with very good storyline, music and swordplay (main character is also hot which doesn't hurt)
Rurouni Kenshin - can't go wrong with this samurai
Definitely let me know if you get a chance to watch any of these and let me know how you like them.
