Anime Lover Needs The Next Step Up...UPDATED!

Lets see, seeing as a lot of obvious ones got posted here are some obscure titles.
Tower of Duraga: An anime based off of an old game of the same name that was impossible to beat without a strategy guide. The first episode is a full parody of typical RPG story and they heavily reference the game in one episode but other than that it is an excellent anime.
Kurokami: A fighting anime with a liberal use of magic. Characters call their attacks which are usually pretty lavish visually. But it ends up being a great series. The music is also downright epic at times.
Eureka Seven: Not as obscure but probably one of the best mecha animes out there. It focuses on the personal relationships between the characters just as much as the mech fights.
Heroman: A pretty recent anime and so far its really good. Stan lee (the guy who co-created most of the iconic Marvel comics) wrote the story and it has the same production team as Eureka Seven.
Asura cryin: Though short compared to other anime, 26 episodes over 2 seasons, it is really good at quickly drawing you in and making you care about the characters. The beginning seems to be leading towards the usual Harem but dosnt end up going that way.
Other than these i would recommend any of the Gundam series and Code Geass.

I can say whole-heartedly that I agree with just about everything that everyone has recommended-
Now after watching a nice amount of serious anime, and if you're comfortable with subtitles, I have to recommend Gintama. It is a funny, funny, hilarious, comedy, with great characters, that occasionally dips into these super serious action arcs. There has never been, nor will there ever be (in my opinion) an anime like it.
Gintoki is a samurai who lives in a future era where it is illegal to carry swords due to aliens essentially taking over the country. He takes in young Shinpachi, a kendo student, and Kagura, a super powerful alien girl, in his Freelance bussiness. The three get into all sorts of incidents by themselves and with a very solid supporting cast.
I can really explain no further. The series is about 202 episodes long, and I actually shed a single tear when it ended. Just one. No anime has made me laugh so hard, or kept me wondering what would happen next in the serious bits. They also constantly spoof classic anime (Dragonballz, etc..) and plenty of adult humor is abound.

I recommend it to people mostly because it's one of the very few animes that I've ever felt any emotion towards.xainoforgv said:

That's what makes it brilliant ^.^xainoforgv said:
I also enjoyed School Days, and also suggest it.
Yes, it's aggravating, but I found it interesting as well, rarely has an anime made me that emotional.
Its best to just pick a genre you like and work your way downwards to the more obscure things. I started out watching Harem animu. Love Hina, Ichigo 100%, stuff like that. Then it always helps to find a small community of helpful people that are always online to help you find the more unique rarer animes. Channels on IRC can be helpful too. Just remember the Internet is dangerous and you will get troll a lot 
As always I recommend young and up-and-comers try and get through my horribly colored anime list

If you can read everything on there and still keep your vision then you win a cookie.

Watch Berserk, but not the whole series. Read the manga until it flashes back to the main caracter joining a mercenary band as a teenager. Then watch the anime or continue manga. If anime, skip th finale and read from there on in the manga; It goes farther.
Also read Vinland Saga. It's about vikings!
Watch Monster, Neon Genesis Evangelion, Cowboy Bebop, Darker Than Black, Gurren Lagann, Code Geass(first season rocks, second season... ehhhh...) and Innocent Venus.

1. FLCL: Just... just amazing man. A must watch.
2. Excel Saga: This anime was so randomly cool that it's hard not to watch.
3. One Piece: It can tend to be young minded at times but it's never boring.
4. FMA Brotherhood: Better than the original FMA was.
5. High School of The Dead: This was a little bit perverted but it's overall a good manga.
Those are a few of them.
