A cute, fun and at times really surprising anime, it has a lot of comedy, fanservice, scifi, music, action... And just about a little bit of everything. Plus, great animation.
I liked that one too much, I think I've watched it at least 5 times over the last 1.5 years?

i just watched it, such a short anime like 15 episodes?
If you want total mindfuck, Serial Experiments Lain is a terrific show. Dark, confusing, abstract, really good anime. But it's kinda a love it or hate it thing.
If you want something stupid but fun to watch, try Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann. Anime about big battling robots. What makes it work is that it realizes that the premise is totally stupid, and the whole show is ludicrously over the top (think 300-blood+robots)
If you want Harem, Kanon is your best bet. While a lot of harem sucks hard, Kanon is actually a really really good show. Amazing art.
Edit- Thanks Ecael. WATCH THE 2006 VERSION. There are 2 Kanon's, the 2006 version being twice as long and 10x as good.
Kaiba, but give it at least 2 episodes to get use to the art style. It's really good. It's about this future society where memories can be transfered from body to body, so essentially people can live forever, but only if they're rich enough to buy new bodies.
Midori No Hibi is really good too. This guy wakes up with his right hand as a girl! That's automatically hilarious.
Zombie Loan is also really good...
Ghost Hound... Is really good. I never finished, but it's about these people who have Out of Body Experiences when they dream, and all this junk... I only ever got 7 episodes into it though, cause I was watching it with a friend... And that friend is sort of no more

Umm, other anime's I really liked...

Kanon is no harem though, at that, most eroge/visual novels turn anime just defies your normal shounen harem routines by actually making some pairings plain impossible to follow a true end. However, it is still an excellent anime, if you are going to watch it though, watch the Kyoto Animation version.
At that, just watch everything from KyoAni since they get the best stuff (Key + Suzumiya + FMP? It might as well as be a monopoly if not for Aniplex)
To aru majutsu no Index for this season, for sure, and for retro stuff Banner/Crest of the Stars. Kara no Kyoukai for theatrical hits, Hanbun no Tsuki ga noboro sora for OVA goodness (well, this is more hit and miss, but the books were excellent).

This. Great story and storytelling. Can't wait for season 2!
Edit - OP, do you not want the anime you listed to be mentioned because you've already watched them or because you don't think you'll like them?
To Watch: Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu (edit: SEASON 2 IS UNCONFIRMED PEOPLE, FFS. Let the God-Haruhi be presented when ready... god damn.) Clannad Clannad After Story Kanon 2006 Kaiba 5 Centimeters per Second Black Lagoon Bible Black (fuck yeah this show's awesome) Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Kai Nodame Cantabile Nodame Cantabiole ~ Paris Chapter ~ Kurozuka Toradora! (it's okay...)
Ghost Stories was awesome (the dub, anyway
and a spider just crawled around in my room. it's not a daddy longleg, and anything past that roaming in here scares the paper shit outta me

No, it has been confirmed, just that the date is still unknown. The latest rumor seems to all be pointing at 2009 Spring season, but who knows. It would be fabulous if they could manage to get it up for December because of the main story plot. Considering that Kyoto Animation already did bit of a joke on that last year, I wouldn't be too surprised to see if they pull that off. Unfortunately, since as of yet they have never had more than one anime airing a season, far as I know, 2008 looks pretty much impossible.
Also, they have been confirmed to be doing the animation for the 4koma manga for Suzumiya, I have absolutely no idea how they'll pull it off (well, they managed Lucky Star perfectly fine), but that's also something to look forward to. Tsuruya-style martial arts!
On that note though, the goddamn 10th volume of the light novel needs to come out already. An indefinite delay for a whole year and almost a half now ; ;
