Im a big fan of anime!! Started watching like 3 years ago so im making this blog so that someone will give me new stuff to watch according to my personal taste and at the same time i can recommend some of my favorite animes to you anime fans.

My first ever anime i downloaded was Hellsing and i really enjoyed it and was hooked on anime after this.

My Personal best list would be :

Death Note
Monster
Code Geass
Cowboy Bebop
Samurai Champloo
Hellsing OVA
Elfen Lied
Berserk
One Piece ( Although i watch Naruto and Bleach for some wierd reason i dont like them dunno why t.t)



Others that i like but not great as above:
Neon Genesis Evangelion
Ergo Proxy
Claymore
GTO
Detroit Metal City
FLCL
Golden Boy
Gantz
FMA
Black Lagoon
Vampire Knight
Hajime no Ippo
Wolfs Rain

Ok for end I would like to recommend one great OVA series that just watched it today.

Rorouni Kenshin OVA( Or Samurai X : Trust and Betrayal )

This just blowed me away compared to the original series which i tried to watch but stoped at episode 10 or so cuz was too boring for me and too much childlish. This goes definately to my top anime list.

Definately a must watch even if you dont like the original series like myself.

Your taste and mine don't seem to match very well, but I think you might like Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni.

I'm just going to throw out some titles that aren't on your list... not really thinking about them in terms of what you already like.

Shion no Ou

Hunter X Hunter

Last Exile

Jigoku Shoujo and both other seasons

Gintama

Law of Ueki

Edit: Akagi.

Edit: These are all some of my favorites, so it's not like I'm choosing random ones off of some list or something.

Has anyone ever actually finished Monster? Seriously, it'd be good, but there's so many garbage do nothing episodes that you lose track of the plot and stop caring. How many times do we need episodes dedicated to explaining 'yeah, Tenma is a pretty nice guy.'

Anyways, you're missing Baccano!

Trigun was not bad
School rumble is good comedy
The first part of tenjou tenge is straight up great fighting
I heard Eureka 7 was good but didn't really look into it (supposed to have good char development)

I haven't watched anime in a long time but if I remember anything else I'll post.

edit: oh yeah there are a lot of "melancholy of haruhi suzumiya" fans. I watched it and it wasn't bad but... I think it depends on what you're into. And also... Initial D if you're into cars

edit 2: oops sorry dm47, you already covered that one haha

I finished Monster. I enjoyed it a lot actually. The pace is definitely on the slower side, so I don't recommend it to everyone. However, the benefit of having a slower pace is that the character development is good, which adds depth to the story.

My top recommendation for the OP is Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann. If fast-paced ridiculous action is your cup of tea, this is the series to watch.

Blasphemy.

Well, maybe not about the anime (never watched it) but the manga is one of the best ever, probably Top 5, and i have heard that the anime follows it closely.

To the OP, your taste really is all over the place, so its kinda hard to recommend something specific, plus you seem to know most of the good anime in recent years. But you should really try Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni, no other first episode in an anime ever has captivated me in such a way.

You should really watch it, specially if you have no idea what the show is about and you watch it alone, at midnight with the lights off xP.

I dont care how long it is, just as long as there is a badass quality to it.
Recoms: Sword of the Stranger,
Akira
Spriggan
Gun Grave, but only the part b4 it gets cliche
Karas

edit: forgot Basilisk

Out of ur list: Kenshin Ova, NGE, FLCL, Death Note( first season only)

New season of FMA may be good depending on whether or not they acutally follow manga line.

Hope you people mean Code Geass S1, cause S2 is the definition of shit, the only ending worse to an otherwise quality anime is Claymore. This is S2 episode in a nutshell:
http://forums.narutofan.com/showthread.php?t=421031

Casshern Sins is nice if you can stand it.
Gundam 00 S1 is good, S2 once again a letdown (not big but definitely not up to expectations) and felt more like Seed (which is never a good thing).
Eureka 7 has good character development in the sense that the two main characters are completely unlikable and makes you want to quit watching at the beginning and then develops into something worthwhile, so bear that in mind when you first start watching.
Macross Frontier is pretty mediocre.
Planet ES is up there.
Ruorini Kenshin OVAs are as solid as they come.
Texhnolyze/Serial Experiment Lain if you can work through it all.
Last Exile is really a quality series.

There is nothing really great recently, Casshern Sins is so-so because it drags with the story at times.
Get it by your hands...
