I need a new anime!

[Jessweeee♪]

It's been like a year since I've watched a new anime series, and I need suggestions!

To start you all off, here are my top favorite series!

Welcome to the NHK
Higurashi
Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei
Lovely Complex
Eden of the East
Honey and Clover
FLCL
Serial Experiments Lain


The only limit: I'm not very open to shonen series that go on and on and on. Like Bleach, Fairy Tail, etc. You know. The ones that have a set up that allow for hundreds and hundreds of important characters and are just kinda written as it goes. I'm not going through that again!


Please help!

[Kuroshima]

Elfen Lied if you can find it.

[Jessweeee♪]

Saw it already! It was pretty gory xD

[Unbreakable Will]

Damn it, I was going to suggest Elfen Lied...erm ok here;

Afro Samurai (really good, so is the movie)
D.Gray Man (smurfing watch it )
Death Note (I had a fling with it, really not bad)
Fooly Cooly
Highschool of the Dead (Great zombie apocalypse series)
Kekkaishi
Noir (Haven't seen it myself but heard it's not bad)
Pandora Hearts (Awesome concept but the storyline is a bit odd, a good watch though)
Phantom: Requiem for the Phantom (Assassin series unlike any other I have ever seen, Jess if you dont watch this of your own will I will find you tie you to a chair and make you watch it )
Rurouni Kenshin
Samurai Champloo
Witchblade
Wolf's Rain (again, find you and tie you to a chair good)
Zatch Bell (Don't you judge me xD)

I loved Gash Bell. Did you read the manga as well, there is an arc after Zeno with a villain who makes Zofis look like a nice person. It's a long series though so it's not what Jessweeee♪ is looking for.

Full Metal Panic. So you can watch Fumoffu without wondering who everybody is.

I've been thinking of watching Psychic Detective Yakumo myself. It has some good reviews and the premise looks promising. It's a shorter series (13 episodes) too, which looks to be your style.

I've been wanting to read the manga for quite sometime but don't have the money for the actual books nor the patience to read them online.

Baccano! is my recommendation for a good, short anime. The cast is fairly large, but they all play their part in sixteen episodes. You can find it on Netflix currently if you have it.

[Unbreakable Will]

I just watched the first episode of Psychic Detective Yakumo. I'm already hooked, add that to the suggestions

[Citizen Bleys]

Welcome to the NHK

Based on this, I recommend Genshiken

FLCL

Based on this, I recommend heavy recreational use of crack cocaine.

More serious ones I've enjoyed have been Darker Than Black, Death Note, Code Geass, sCRYed (or however you're supposed to do the caps), and Scrapped Princess.

Oh, but just the first season of Darker than Black--Gemini of the Meteor sucked hard.

[BG-57]

Vision of Escaflowne
Kare Kano
Fruits Basket
Steam Detectives
Excel Saga
Brain Powerd
Arjuna

never heard of any of those

[Jessweeee♪]

Well if you're looking for something new, I recommend Higurashi!

[Shauna]

Bakemonogatari was a fun one. A bit weird, but it's interesting. Also Kaiji is also good. Rock Paper Scissors will never be the same. :P

/animu I have recently watched

[I Don't Need A Name]

If you like Slice of Life stuff the Clannad & Clannad ~After Story~ are definately worth it! Ga-Rei Zero is also an interesting anime. Especially if you are familiar with the manga it prequels (I watched before reading the manga and still enjoyed it though)

[Citizen Bleys]

Zero no Tsukaima is also quite good if you have a sufficiently quirky sense of humour.
