Nice, fresh anime.
My search continues for good anime, I am not talking about tv series or movies related to a tv series. I have seen a many, good bit of anime. But the older I get, the harder it becomes to find some of those classic gems that I once cherished.
Any reccomendations? All will be appreciated.

Well, it may help if you listed what ones you have seen - or at least some of them - so that we might be able to better help you.
I say this because some anime are hailed as being wondrous, but in all truth, if the subject matter doesn't interest you, it;s of no real use.
...
What type of anime do you want to watch? Fantasy? Shonen? Shoujo? Romance? etc...
Right now I am watching Death Note and I am really enjoying it. It is a good series so far that is keeping me wondering what will happen next. So that would be my recommendation for the moment til you specify what kind of anime you want.
I like anime, but I watched a few movies like:
Nija Scroll
Howl's Moving Castle
the cat return
these ones I remember - I'll come with other reccomendations later ^ ^
PS3 owner, but not played RPG yet (teh) :sweatdrop
Genshiken and The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya are nice series that are different from the norm, and also among my personal favorites.
Death Note gets a vote as well, good solid series.
Watch Gankutsuou: The Count of Monte Cristo.
It's one of my favourites, and I was telling roto yesterday when I got home both my parents were on the couch watching it. Apparently they started watching it a few days ago, and actually finished it last night.
Great, mature story, jaw dropping visuals, very engaging.
Ive said it before, and Ill say it again. If you havent watched Trigun, do so.
I'd also recommend Perfect Blue, its very mature and pretty disturbing, but the story is one that will cling onto you for a long time. Just when you think you know whats going on, BAM ! Everything is then turned upside down. And then later flipped again to the side. Not so much to make everything confusing, you might want to re-watch it as few times though, just to fully appreciate it.
You could watch Akira, its very hit or miss with the movie though. Some love it, some hate it. If you do happen to watch it, make sure to watch the subtitled version, or the second dubbed version. Never watch the original dub, you've been warned.
Sorry about not posting a list, I just didn't feel like it.
Genshiken and The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, Death Note, and Perfect Blue, Ninja Scrolls, and Gankutsuou: The Count of Monte Cristo are all on my list.
I loved Trigun.
I just watched the subtitled version of Akira last night, loved it.
I pretty much enjoy all anime, Leviathan, if that answers your question.
Ty all.

I'm assuming by 'on the list' you mean 'already seen'.
In that case, I reccomend some more:
RahXephon
Planetes
Fighting Spirit(Hajime no Ippo)
R.O.D. OVA+TV Show
Zegapain is a good anime, though I have yet to finish it, I have watched 10 episodes and I enjoyed them all. It is situated in a post-apocalyptic future and it involves mechs. There is much more than that but I would be giving away part of the plot.
Haven't heard of any of these, I'm going to have to check em out.Originally Posted by JKTrix
As for Zegapain.
~RIP owen~
I'd also recommend RahXephon, its really worth checking out. Others are....
Outlaw Star
Lupin III ( be careful with its movies, some are great, like the Castle of Cagliostro, and some are atrocious, like Legend of the Gold of Babylon )
Tokyo Godfathers
Ghost In The Shell
Kodocha
Maison Ikkoku
Elfen Lied
Eureka 7 is the most unique recent (past 2 years or so) anime I've watched lately, and I don't usually watch mechaIt starts of realistic, but gets kind of weird as it progresses despite trying to keep sciency about stuff
Eureka 7 is pretty good stuff. Loveless and Gankutsuou are also worth checking out.
I just bought xxxHOLiC recently, and it's a pretty good movie, albeit a bit short (~1 hour long).
Other fairly recent anime that I find worth seeing are Samurai Champloo, Haibane Renmei, Witch Hunter Robin. I also picked up Kino no Tabi (Kino's Journey: the Beautiful World), but haven't got time to watch it yet.
And then there is Death
