It can only go downhill  I'll leave you these to watch: Cowboy Bebop Samurai Champloo Macross Plus OVA When I've made personal recommendations based on pple's taste they've almost always enjoyed what I suggested to them, so hopefully you'll be satisfied with these. | ||

That said, the things you have watched cover...quite the distance, rather difficult to make a coherent suggestion based on that, might as well as start recommending personal favorites. | ||

Bantering aside, another possibility would be Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu, considering the OP can stand Baccano's narration, Suzumiya should be fine. | ||

It would actually be helpful if you explained what you disliked about these two. As for my suggestions: Monster (74 episodes) This one's a mystery/suspense type. It's a bit long, and the pace is a bit on the slow side, but it's got an engaging story and some interesting, deep characters. Black Lagoon (24 episodes) Decent action and blood. If you liked the sadistic side of Alucard, this one may be worth checking out. Fullmetal Alchemist (51 episodes) Action/adventure. This is a solid show that's pretty good all around. | ||

Death Note (nuff said, one of the best series in my opinion) Code Geass (a mix between Death Note and Gundam/mecha) Claymore (manga is still going on, but the show is over) Bleach (a lot of mixed feelings from people, but I still like it despite it's in fillers right now) | ||

@ OP: You will almost for sure like Black Lagoon Samurai Champloo Elfen Lied ...and probably like Claymore Bleach + Show Spoiler + (seyiu voicing acrobat-murderer from the train in Baccano voices Ichigo from Bleach too, who is probably my most favorite character) From others mentioned and/or watched by me I don't know if you will like Monster (I saw about 56 episodes, gotta finish it) Berserk + Show Spoiler + 1st episode is very promising but next 10 are more fillers than episodes, disappointing is some way... especially when comparing them to ending episodes which are almost like taken from another series but match with 1st one... well... as hell >  Death Note* Higurashi no naku koro ni* (kai is 2nd season?) Code Geass *those 2 were dropped by me (DN after 5th and higurashi after 15th episode) but I may finish them some day | ||

(it was only 2 seasons right?) anyways, my recommendation is Avatar! it got 9.3 on imdb. for perspective, the dark knight got 9.4. death note got 9.2. Hellsing, 8.3. yes we are going to pretend that imdb is always accurate in it's ratings anyways it's 3 seasons, each are about 20 episodes. 3 animated movies are coming up, as well as 3 live-action movies being created by paramount. | ||

Interesting thing about GITS is I found English dubbing of the 1st season to be better than original Japanese of the 2nd (and in 90% cases I hate any other dubbing in any anime than Japanese). I don't know when English dubbing of the 1st was done but I don't expect Japanese one be better than in 2nd season that was made 4-6? years after the 1st. It's not bad itself... it just surprisingly seems to be weaker oO edit: GITS movies are whole another story tho - if you will watch 1st season than 1st movie has much darker atmosphere and I don't recall ending be too much happy;P... 2nd movie was... too weird and too retro in style for me; 3rd one was better than 2nd in all aspects, maybe not a masterpiece but not bad In general 1st series is the best among all... edit: another classic title is Akira http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akira_(film) It's hard to believe it was made 20 years ago. | ||

NHK ni Youkoso. and in all seriousness, just because IMDB rates something above a 9 doesn't mean it's good. I mean, dear god... Hellsing got above 9? Death Note above 9? Geez. use anidb instead, if anything. Oh, and whoever compared Revy to Alucard needs to die. Revy would rape that bitchass Dracula wannabe any day of the week. | ||

To Heart and its sequel To Heart: Remember my Memories: http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=1089 Da Capo (has a second season plus a sequel and a second season to that sequel!): http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=2670 Gift ~Eternal Rainbow~: http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=6824 Tokimeki Memorial ~Only Love~ (sort of harem'ish): http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=6825 Lamune: http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=5868 Sola (was apparently voted #1 anime of 2007 according to wiki): http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=7481 So there's a few right off the bat there. Then there are the more popular titles like Chobits and Kanon/Clannad which I assume you already know. Try a few of the ones I listed and see how you like them. I know there should be tons more out there, but none are coming to me atm :/ | ||

WTF ENDS UP WITH HIS SISTER NASTY, during the whole thing i was hoping she would die, hell at the begining of the 2nd season of the original da capo i thought she was dead :D. The first season of the sequal was good cus the main char didnt end up wiht his sister, the second season of the sequal he started having romantic dreams about his sisters... tahts where i droped it . geee right when it was getting watchable again) Well, to be fair, they're not quite siblings by blood in either Da Capo and Da Capo II. The hint of incest is there, but not quite. Plus, a lot of Japanese anime/manga have some sort of incest or another, so it's best to ignore it or accept it. At least they're usually not dead-on incest like with brother/sister, but more towards cousin/second cousin which I think is actually legal for marriage in Japan atm (correct me if I'm wrong.) | ||

What's it about? Twincest yuri. That is all. There's no explicit material, no nudity, just sisterly love; it's funny as hell, it's hot as fuck, and it leaves you with such a good feeling after each episode. Very, very well done. 1. I have no idea why the title is Candy Boy. I'm glad I didn't let it keep me from watching it. 2.If there was only one series I could recommend to anyone, it would be this (actually cuz people already know about amazing ones like haruhi and eva). There's just something that makes you fall in love with the two main characters. I've gotten so much enjoyment out of the series - the comedy and the warm fuzzy feeling - or maybe I just have a thing for yuri. 3. go find them and watch them now 4. if you don't like an anime that has female/female love, let alone sisterly love, you can either 1. change your views (recommended), 2. watch it but ignore the stuff you don't like, 3. don't watch it. To be honest, the incestuous tone isn't even that prominent; it's not a hentai that screams OMG THEYRE SISTERS AND THEYRE MAKING OUT FAPFAPFAP. It's more of an aspect of the anime that if you can appreciate, you can really bring out the best in Candy Boy. If not, it shouldn't detract from it. The comedy is still there, you can see the love as familial (which it is), rather than romantic. Maybe I'm overthinking it. I watched it and loved it, and to me, that's all that matters. | ||

it's actually very different from haruhi, but it definitely is kickass. it's much more of an indepth storyline that starts out focusing on mecha and the characters themselves, and eventually shifts into focusing less on the mecha, more on the characters, more on mindfucking, more on resolving/developing the plot. haruhi is more 'watch, laugh, enjoy the awesomeness' while eva is more 'watch, be drawn into the characters and the plot, be confused, rewatch, analyze, read/discuss on forums, understand a bit more...' Two different kinds of pleasure; I thoroughly enjoyed both. | ||
