Anime

Fullmetal Alchemist(both- 2003 series and brotherhood), Death Note, Elfen Lied, Requiem for the Phantom are my favourites.

Even if Elfen Lied Anime is not even near of the manga, all the mangas that I read are better than the animes. In exception for Fullmetal Alchemist manga and Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood.

Gintama is also awesome xD.

For Mangas, I would recommend Berserk xD, the anime adaptation is not bad, it follows the manga, but they just show The Golden Age Arc in the anime. I'm waiting for the new Berserk films

I watched Monster as well,but never finished.

I have the first Monster volume, but can't buy after the second one, they are expensive has hell

One Piece is a fantastic anime if you sit through 500+ episodes (and still going)

Once again, everyone recommends the goriest series they know... you can't beat Gantz at that.

Anyway, if you're more into stories I guess GTO is a good choice (it's also a good source of laughs) and if you don't mind violence and mild sex go for Young GTO first (Shonan Junai Gumi). Since the animation is pretty crappy I'd recommend getting the manga instead. This one is even funnier; I've got the whole manga series and I always end up getting an uncontrollable laughter at every page (events may have been exaggerated).

There's also the movie Akira, a masterpiece of animation (animation looks 2010 when it came out in ~1977).

Finally, there's also an anime about a guy who travels Japan to collect ghost stories and ends up meeting the three same people every time; as it turns out the three people always revive the fairytale themselves. It's pretty theatrical (environments are barren; for example you only have the character standing all surrounded by white and lines on the ground to make a path of white stones. Hard to describe)

-- But, there's also a fair share of horror. The stories first, of course, and it does get graphics sometimes.

Unfortunately I forgot the name. If anybody has it, I'm definitely interested.

This one is pretty good.

I always like a good romance anime. Harem Animes are alright too but there's gotta be some actual tension and relationships.

I'd list them all but there's so many.

Toaru Majutsu no Index and Bleach.

Eureka Seven - Contains both mecha on surfboards and one of the best love stories ever.

Rocket Girls - Light comedy...very hard sci-fi. If there's another series that cracks a joke about reverse Polish notation, I've not heard of it.

The Girl Who Leapt Through Time - a movie about time, opportunity, and life lessons.

The Half-Broken Music Box (Kowarekake no Orgel) - a very touching story about a former musician who finds a cute little robot in a junkpile. (1 episode OVA)

The iDOLM@STER - A story featuring the character development of thirteen characters in the pop idol industry.

I would recommend One piece, soul eater, fairy tail, gundam seed,gundam seed destiny and gundam 00 to name a few. but if you were to watch one of these it should be One piece =)

!!!
Naoki Urasawa's Monster?! I love that series! I don't know anyone else that has seen it, which is a shame for such a great series. I also enjoyed Code Geass. (and I still really need to finish Death Note sometime...)
Oh, right, recommendations. I was told that Legend of the Galactic Heroes was a fantastic series (and debatably one of the best). The only viable way to get it is by torrenting though.

Go watch Baccano!
Pretty good anime with awesome music behind it.

i am a fan i hve many anime. I love scifi/fantasy/comedy. I'd recommend maison ikkoku, macross, gundam, love hina, ranma 1/2

Welcome to the community. Now about the anime ill recommend some of my favorites; Ergo proxy, Fairy Tail, Air Gear, Mirrai Nikki, School Days, Rideback, Tiger & Bunny, Bakuman sheesh i can go on, but ima stop there for those are the ones that come at the top of my head at the moment. There are alot of great ones with similar plots to death note and code geas.

Howls Moving Castle and Spirited Away are good anime movies.

Katekyo Hitman Reborn!, it's just... i can't even tell you, just watch.

Well I just watched Another, it was a one series anime so 15 eps or something and its pretty cool/interesting. Also Welcome to the NHK, Toradora, K-ON!, theyre good too

I love them all and all most of the top ranked anime series from Anime Crazy

Bakuman, Usagi Drop, Stein's Gate Bakuman 2, Another(Finished)

Sket Dance(Ongoing)

These are some anime which i can think off the top of my head which i recommend. I prefer the slice of life genre and mystery anime in general so my opinion may be biased

Copypasta from the other thread

I'm pretty new to anime.

I loved Gurren Lagann though, oh and Gunsmith Cats.

Oh and Avatar is my favourite animated show ever, doesn't really count as an anime though.

I'm watching Samurai Champloo and Baccano! next.
