Thank you, kind sir.

Watch Serial Experiments Lain... seriously I think it's what your looking for...

Wikipedia says "The series shows influences from topics such as philosophy, computer history, cyberpunk literature and conspiracy theory"
wich sounds rather interessting.

Now if I only could find a series, anime or not, or a game in my favorite setting: Dieselpunk.

but, code geass is not that much like deathnote. i hated deathnote, but code geass is my favorite anime. The only similarity is that lelouch PRETENDS to be evil- *spoiler spoiler spoiler*. DO NOT COMPAIR HIM TO LIGHT. lelouch is a good guy!

To be fair lelouch is still very much an anti-hero and depending on the episode he's between a rather nice guy, all the way up to beeing a hero only thanks to Brittania beeing even worse. (All hail Brittania!) But thats one of the resons i loved Code Geass. It turned me from one that hates all anime on principle to someone that actually is rather open about exploring the genre.

And I must say I love your Spinzaku avatar.

 

[Kasby]

Here is a few

His and Her Circumstances
Full Metal Pannic Fumoffu (a must)
Black cat
Berserk (dark as all hell but...)
Slayers, Slayers next and Slayers Tri

 

[Kuilui]

Considering what you wrote their op a GREAT anime for you would definitely be School Rumble, I'd say. Maybe Love Hina as well, although that one is a tad annoying.

 

[Browbeat]

Air Gear (stylish, spirited, insubstantial, different, formulaic, fun)
Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann (ridiculous, amazingly animated, good philosophical turnover, good sense of progression)
Planeties (space maintenance men - good personality and storytelling)
Godannar! (ultra fanservice to the mecha genre - with gratuitous jigglage)
Cowboy Bebop (episodic hijinks with a running narrative, charming characters, great animation)

 

[Nyce1]

S-Cry-Ed and Outlaw Star were both a lot of fun to watch also Tri-Gun

I'm seriously outdated with anime, but still, you may want to check these out.

The Vision of Escaflowne - Might be pretty old now, but it's still one of the best anime I've ever seen. It has a bit of everything, it has an epic story about war, love, betrayal, hot chicks, some humanoid animals with lots of personality, it has dragons, giant robots, an epic soundtrack wich is completely orchestrated with gregorian chants and all... A must see.

Cowboy Bebop - I think any respectable anime fan has already watched this anime (also the movie is quite good) and you MUST see it. It's quite dark, but most of the time doesn't take itself too seriously, but it has some pretty heavy scenes involving lots of blood and lots of drama.

Saint Seiya (Knights of The Zodiac) - My all time favorite anime, kinda like YuYu Hakusho but it's heavily inspired by greek mythology. I'd recomend you start watching the current OVA called "The Lost Canvas", it's a prequel story, so you get charming characters, good to amazing fight scenes and LOTS of drama.

 

[AngelOfBlueRoses]

Oh, man. Bleach was such a disappointment for me. I got to the Hueco Mundo Arc before I finally said, "You know what? Fuck it."

Anyways, on topic. You want a good anime to watch? Watch Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood. The 2003 series is good, too, but Brotherhood is where it's at. Seriously, check it out. It's very good, very engaging, has a great story, and is roughly 50 episodes.

 

[Erja_Perttu]

Cromartie High School its fucking helarious and each episode is only about ten minutes long.

Spoiler: here's the first episode

It's the English dub but I think it's just as good.

HOLY SHIT

FREDDIE FUCKIN MERCURY IS IN THIS ANIME

I LOVE YOU

It's honestly one of the funniest anime I have ever seen just by how ridiculous it is.

Oh good lord, that's got to be one of the most random and utterly pointless things I've ever seen. Thank god it's also hilarious.

code geass, full metal panic, eureka 7.

edit:Eureka 7 IS a love story, and full metal panic has allot of love stuff, through not centered around it. Code geass has some love stuff.

1. I've already watched Soul Eater (as seen above)
2. No! I will not watch Code Geass! From what I hear it's awfully similar to Death Note, which (as I said above) I absolutely hate.

I would like to appeal on that unwarranted Code Geass hatred.

It has some very key instances, one being: The main character is not a megalomaniacal evil genius, he's a megalomaniacal GOOD genius who uses evil means on occasion.

Death Note revolves around an emotionless prick for the most part, while Code Geass is centered on a single minded man trying to reclaim what is his and set things right. Code Geass has a protagonist who has values, and feelings.

Deathnote was quite literally just depressing, Code Geass, throughout all the amazing mech battles and deep story, still has lightheartedness about it.

As mentioned before, there are some love story side plots placed here and there as well.

I'd like to note that i am a fan of both, but Code Geass easily trumps Death Note, and i already hold Death Note in high regard.

Check out Love Hina.
About a young male who gets to take over his grandmothers spa which he finds out is only for women and he gets very nervous around women. It's a comedy anime that has, sort of, a love story molded into it. And only 25 or 26 episodes + 4 extra (summer, autumn, winter and spring specials)
Didn't seem like you picked up Fairy Tale yet, give that one a shot. I only read the manga but very enjoyable. It's Dragonball/Bleach/Naruto stylish... but still not... Someone please give a good explanation -.-

Without spoiling anything, Imho the ending is one of the best ones I know of from any medium.

Edit: It seems I qouted this without acctually saying anything, and now I can't remember what I was supposed to write. Fail on me.

Edit: Reading this over, few mistakes thanks to firefox spellcheck >.> and 1 AM tiredness.

Edit 2: I also recommend "History's Strongest/Greatest Disciple Kenichi" (manga if you can find it)
It's very lighthearted with an interesting and deep plot, that plays out partly as a love story as well. It's martial arts themed. :3

Edit 3: Made this a quote instead of an edit >.> sorry Y.Y like the post says, rather tired.

Regarding...

...Code Geass: it's hard to say what you'd like about Code Geass when we don't know what you don't like aboud Death Note (and there's much not to like).

...Higurashi: The ending was kind of spoiled for me too; yet I still went on with it and found it still to be worthwhile. If you do chose to watch it, skip Rei episodes 1 and 5; since those are retarded filler.

...Bleach: Your stance on "I'm going to stick with it since I'm so far into it already" will probably be invalid at some point, considering that show is probably going to be as long as 2 Dragonball series by the time the "writers" decide to make an ending.

As for recommendations (if they're not already mentioned):

Kanon is an amazing one. The story's done by the same guys that did Clannad (Key Visual Arts), and in my opinion, was better than Clannad. (Based on Clannad)

Toaru Kagaku no Railgun (A Certain Scientific Railgun) is a great mix of slice of life, comedy, and sci-fi/action. It's a spin-off of another show, but know that this is better than the show it's based off of. (Based on Key's only blunder Angel Beats)

Kannagi is the best "Sudden Girlfriend" genre I've seen so far (but I've got a few more I've got planned to watch, so that might change). It knows its audience and generally knows how to handle itself, an essential part of anime in my opinion. (Based on Working!! and Toradora!)

K-On! is a slice of life; it can get a little boring if you're only looking at the show from a comedic perspective, but it's (apparently) thoroughly enjoyable from a slice of life perspective. (Based on Lucky Star)

Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann is the best Parody of the Mecha genre I've seen (people refer to it as a well done Kiddy Mecha, but that's not how I've seen it). (Based on the Mecha you have there that I won't ever watch your Mecha Choices)

Ouran High School Host Club is a shoujo show that if you turn a blind eye to the shoujo elements, you find a damn funny show. (Based on the Repetitive Shoujo Kaichou wa Maid-sama)

And I think I'll end the list there for now...

2. I'm not very into "dark" anime.

Say that again after you've watched Sayonara, Zetsubou Sensei

Spoiler: Right here

 

[Wintermoot]

Mobile fighter G Gundam or Chobits

 

[Sacman]

Ok so I noticed you don't have Cowboy Bebop on your list. It is quite possible to watch Bebop and swear off of all animes because you know nothing will ever compare, but it really is the best so yeah... watch it.

I would, except I've already accidentally clicked on enough spoilers of it to know the entire story without even seeing one episode of it.

Well there is no real over arching plot... it's spread out between several arks each one dedicated to a different character, to help establish them better, plus in between episodes, containing their own story, that serve little purpose but are very entertaining non the less... if anything the only real plot revolves around each characters past catching up to them so there isn't much to spoil... I still say watch it because it's just so cool...

Edit: also check out Gankutsuou it's a reimagining of the Count Of Monte Cristo...

 

[Jezzy54]

FullMetal Alchemist: Brotherhood (my personal favorite), Gurren Lagann, Cowboy Bebop, Spice & Wolf, Ouran High School Host Club.
