If you liked Ghost in the Shell and the Miyazaki movies, I would highly recommend Dennou Coil (though I would highly recommend it regardless). It's an excellent show, and the comparison will make more sense once you start watching it. Your patience will be rewarded.
Baccano! is areally good short series as well, though if you really don't like gore it might put you off. The times when it gets gorey are seldom, but it's pretty random when it happens.
Moyashimon is a safe recommendation as well. It's nothing spectacular like Gurren-Lagann and Dennou Coil, but it's different and deceptively educational. The block of TV that Moyashimon comes from is one that seems to be dedicated to expanding anime beyond the average 'young boy' demographic. I'm currently watching Hakaba Kitaro by them, and it's great.
