Good anime?

[Dango]

Serial Experiments Lain sounds perfect for you. It focuses mainly on the psychological aspects, but has some decent horror moments and a good bit of fantasy.

Everyone who suggested High School of the Dead...
Thank you. So. Much.
That will be all.

lol a lot of people hated it cuz of huge fanservice it had

Gintama, it's just unbelievably funny. Here are a few examples:

Bleach parodies

Spoiler

Random Clips

I love the way it pretty much ignores any semblance of having a fourth wall. The characters often mention other anime, anime characters, cult icons/figures/films and much more. In one episode, a character actually climb out of the animation frame to kill the creator of the anime!

I've never laughed so hard in all my life. It's absolutely fantastic.

That's probably why he likes it.

Only thing I can heartly recomend is Soul Eater.

It sort has been my gateway drug to the rest of anime.

I do find though the less of a cliche' anime it is (in terms of character types, animation, and tropes) the more I like it, so my opinion I don't think is the best judge.

I know I was just pointing out that a lot of people hated it.

As for me Im gonna say this; "This like so many other anime out there could have been so much better if they'd toned down the fanservice"

Also the dub of it is really good, they cuss more and make more jokes.

1, 2, 3...sorry but im counting how many times have I recomend this anime but...

Clannad/ Clannad After Story, its my top of the list of animes and visual novels.

 

[Spartan X1]

Hellsing has some funny moments mixed with action and an easy to follow plot the OVA's are where its out the series they made for tv is not even on the same level

 

[Nooners]

I'm gonna recommend Blood Plus. 50 episodes, so it's already done, but the story is well done, and the characters fairly strong. You'll remember the villains more than anything else, if you're like me.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU

Somebody else in this wasteland who recommends Blood+.

OT: If you like "smart" animes, try Ghost in the Shell.

Need to try Ghost in the Shell myself...thanks for reminding me.

if you like mechs that are the size of the moon tengen toppa gurren laggan.

The moon is an understatement...

D.Gray-man not many people know about it.

yeah the actual tengen toppa gurren laggan was much bigger.

Baccano
