Go on then, recommend me an anime.

Cowboy Bebop. Surprised it wasn't on your list in the first place. Outlaw Star is also good, though it's more trope-y and less mature.nothingspringstomind said:
Because you liked Code Geass, you'll probably like Death Note. I know you said "no 300 episode epics", but you might also want to try Legend of the Galactic Heroes (which is 110 episodes plus two movies and 52 episodes of side story).
Because you liked Ergo Proxy and Ghost in the Shell, you'll probably like Texhnolyze and Serial Experiments Lain. The latter is only 13 episodes long and plays out more like a film than an episodic series.
Angel Beats! Pretty good, got good action, comedy, a little bittersweet by the end but very enjoyable.
I'm going to recommend
Durarara!! and Kino's Journey to start with.
Durarara!! is interesting and one of the few truly unique shows out there.
Kino's Journey is a very adult (as in mature and thought-provoking) and philosophical show. If you enjoyed the philosophical bits of Evangelion, you'll love this.

Outlaw Star and Cowboy Bebop are ones i've seen *years* ago. probably should have mentioned that lol.Kalabrikan said:
The list is the stuff i've been watching and re-watching recently.
I think i'll edit the OP to clarify.
I think you might like One Piece.
It's got a nice, complex, engaging, and well-paced story, alot of fun characters, some some strange yet excited action scenes.
I think you might find it well worth a look, even if it has it's flaws, such as being predictable in some areas and there are some lengthly flashbacks that might get boring.
It's so far the only manga/anime in years that I've gotten into.
Aside from that, I remember Crest of the Stars being kinda good, Outlaw Star I found to be memorable, and I do remember enjoying Escaflowne.

Do it, ************. You won't be disappointed.sgt. soap mctavish said:
On that note, Durarara, but subbed. Trust me on that.
-The World Only God Knows: Oh ho ho, boy, don't even get me started. I'll just leave the manga here.
-Yondemasuyo, Azazel-san: It's about a badass ************ who summons demons. Who's fittingly voiced by the main character of Persona 4. Yes, MC now talks, thanks to the anime.
-if you don't mind a live-action Japanese drama, Kamen Rider, preferably W. It's like Power Rangers, but with more motorbikes.
-Black Butler. Great characters, good plot, but a bunch of homolust with the young main character. So tread carefully with this one.
-Hajime no Ippo. All I'll say is Dempsey Roll.
-Ghost in The Shell: If you don't mind using your head, it's a fun watch. The Major's voice could probably give a tree wood, too.
-Darker than Black: Heroes without Hiro, but in Japan.
Best anime I've ever seen has to be FullMetal Alchemist. There's two different series. The first was an original anime, while the follows the manga closely. Great characters, universe, and story. I loved every minute of it.
I'd also highly recommend Samuria Champloo.
Recently however I watched one called "Phantom: Requiem for the Phantom". An interesting non-sci-fi anime focusing heavily on guns and assassination. Rather heavy though.
A more lighthearted one was "The Sacred Blacksmith". A short 13 episode series. The action is decent, but suffers from being too short. Lot of things left unresolved or improperly incorporated. Could have used more fleshing out. It was still fun to watch though.

Dennou Coil should fit. Yes, the main characters are all very young and it's a lot more upbeat than most of the entries on your list. Still, with writing this good you'd be a fool for caring about that. The story here is the best kind of puzzle; every piece fits and they slowly put themselves together without ever revealing too much or too little.
The rest of my suggestions wouldn't be science-fiction (except maybe Boogiepop Phantom and Serial Experiments Lain), and I'm not too keen on making an irrelevant top 100 list of shows I like.

Well the other Gundam series like original, Wing, 08th MS Team and 0080. 0080 is really short might be somethings you would like.nothingspringstomind said:
Try Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood also, it is really good. Same goes for the Break Blade OVAs.
Now here are just my usual recommendations that I always give:
Puella Magi Madoka Magica
Star Driver
Durarara!!!
[C] The Money of Soul and Possibility Control. Really good and short.
