to aru majutsu no index, best anime i've ever seen hands down.

I think you might enjoy s-cry-ed, not too many episodes and all are amazing.

Rosario + Vampire
Kiss X SIS (Plot, plot everywhere)
Boku no Pico

Blue Exorcist
Reminds me of FMAB, lovely characters; main male character gets over his past. Awesome (arguably epic) fight scenes) and very beautiful ending.

Death Note
My personal gateway-drug anime. Awesome, likable male main characters, driven by mental battles. Very few physical brawls, and set in 'modern era' (i.e. no swords, dragons, etc.) but stunning genius vs. genius battle and (what I think) detailed, smooth animation. Actually similar to Code Geass in theme, but DN is a darker psychological thriller.

C:Control
Interesting philosophical anime ('philosophical' i.e. conflicting themes, as in Death Note of justice) awesome, unconventional fight scenes, more round characters, something of a full-circle ending

Shiki
For the vampire/zombie fans! But not primarily romance as in Vampire Night, etc. Portrays vampires in the most realistic light I have yet seen. Also 'philosophical' in the survival theme.

Bakemonogatari (w/ sequel Nisemonogatari)
'Aquired taste' anime; roughly fits 'harem' anime category, but art and cut scenes make it extremely unique and entertaining. No real linear plot, and mostly driven by character interaction/dialogue. The few fight scenes are pretty epic, though. However, don't be expecting too much 'sense' or hot-blooded protagonists. (op content is actually screenshot from the sequel ^)

Madoka Magica
I promise you it is not a remake of Sailor Moon or something. Cool collage-esqe art, awesome fight scenes, also later 'philosophical'. I won't say too much, but watch it for the emotional factor.

Another
Definitely horror/psychological thriller. Very Final-Destination, very gruesome but very awesome. Some mystery-novel elements.

Mirai Nikki
This anime brought to you by one of the greatest examples of 'yasundere'. Seriously, the anime make me severely uncomfortable throughout, but it is extremely addicting. Awesome plot and stunning ending. Much emotional wrenching that leaves you empty.

I hope that helped!

Mirai Nikki was probably in my top 5 animes. I have never said while watching an anime, "OH SHIT WHATS GOING TO HAPPEN NEXT."

Great to hear! I enjoyed that one too! :D
I always feel empty and enter and obsessive phase after finishing a particularly awesome anime (which is true for Mirai Nikki, Death Note, etc)

*Spoilers up ahead*

To be completely honest though, even though I /loved/ the characters, I think the themes within the plot was kind of muddled. As in, MN was a great anime in that it can twist my emotions like that, but I feel that Yukki never successfully grew a spine, and how/why he fell in love with Yuno was never thoroughly demonstrated. Yukki just alternated between loving and being scared shitless of Yuno and then suddenly 14-yr-old sex scene. I absolutely love the twist in the end, but I think Aru was introduced too late to compete with Yuno, and there was very minimal character development.

I dunno, maybe it's just that MN was the first anime I've seen yet w/ a yandere.
Still, amazing anime with a stunning soundtrack. To you personally I would recommend Shiki ^_^ (given that you actually read this far).

I forgot to mention, infinite stratos. I highly recommend it, only has 12 episodes, but it got great reviews so there might a season 2

Thanks! I'll look into that

haha, i agree with everything you said and Shiki is on my animes i need to watch

You could try Angel Beats, I found it sort of similar to Elfen Lied, without the gore and such, but the point of the story is in a way similar.

Angel Beats gave me feels

gurren lagann, it is one of the most gar, feel animes i have watched. moments of pure win followed by moments of deep sorrow. Though it might seem a bit bad to some, the plot is very good and it made me feel like a real man. also, moderately short.

Best Fucking anime I have ever seen. So sad though.

you don't list full metal alchemest?! (its pretty good)

One Piece if your looking for a more light-hearted humorous anime, not to say it doesn't have its epic moments.

Fate Zero
Legend of Legendary Heroes
Ben-To
uhh...
yeah

High school of the dead. If you like zombies and boobs perfect for ya. i was going to recommend elfen lied but i clearly didnt see you watched that one (I loved it). Deadman wonderland, another good one. the dubbed episodes started on toonami a few days ago.

Do they have all of the episodes available for deadman wonderland?? When I watched it last summer, they only had up to episode 12. Toonami you say? o_O Really? I thought it would be too violent, lol

Deadman Wonderland's manga is much better than the anime though. You can read it on mangareader
http://www. mangareader.net/666/ deadman-wonderland.html

some of the language is censored, but from what I watched the blood was all there

Ive seen High School of the Dead already i forgot to list it, and i plan to watch deadman wonderland too. Can you think of any other good ones?

here ya go; Sankarea, Kore wa Zombie Desu ka? and Kore wa Zombie Desu ka? of the dead, tengen toppa gurren lagann, Blood +, air gear, kaibutsu-oujo, Rave Master, A certain magical index, and Kurokami. Hope this helps! you've got some good tastes sir
