If you're going to watch Death Note, just stop watching once L dies. Just pretend that's the last episode. Trust me on this one.
Brilliant! Recommend a show, then reveal one of its biggest plot twists! :\
Really? You didn't see it coming? The protagonist defeating the antagonist in an anime? Really?
Light may have been the protagonist, but he was obviously losing it: the story covered so many gray areas I never knew who to root for. At least until Light became a power-hungry douchebag. So somewhere in the first 10 episodes.

Advice: try browsing TV Tropes, you'll find something there.

Some series I'd recommend, though not necessarily for non-fans:
Nanoha (gets better later in the first season, and A's kicks ass).
Haruhi (skip the second season, though, Endless Eight sucked).
Gurren Lagann.
Possibly Evangelion, depending on your liking of mindscrew and tolerance for Shinji.
And, of course, anything by Miyazaki/Ghibli.

Oh, and for inevitable anime bashing: *loads Raising Heart*

Until recently I had always thought that anime was for weird people, (U know who live with their mums at 30 lol) no offense. however after being a member on the escapist for a month I have noticed that a lot of people seem to like it so I started to watch some and I have enjoyed what I've seen, however I cant find any more which I might like. So any suggestions???

I have watched:
Full metal Alchemist
Bleach
Hellsing

So something like that...
You can try Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood.

It's another try at making a FMA anime, but this time, they're following the manga.

Samurai Champloo and Cowboy Bebop are the only two anime shows I like, along with an occasional movie like Ghost in the Shell.

Pretty much all Studio Ghibli is legendary...maybe its just me but after watching Spirited Away it makes me feel refreshed and happy :)
Satoshi Kon has also made some pretty excellent movies. Like Perfect Blue, Millennium Actress, and Paprika.

Plus, Akira and Steamboy are quite good.

You should definitely try :

Samurai Champloo - nice samurai anime, looks good, has good voice acting, nice characters and some of the best fights in any anime

Darker than Black - nice dark sci-fi/action anime, has some good action, well done characters...

Hellsing - vampires, action, gore.. sweet

I also loved Mushishi - great setting, nice characters and mini stories, but it's not for everyone, it's a adventure/mystery/fantasy/supernatural anime and don't expect any action from it, there's no fighting in this one, but it's just amazing in its own way.. just not for everyone

D.Gray-Man is also a preaty good one and you'll probably liked it since you liked bleach and fullmetal alchemist

Sword of the Stranger (or Stranger -Mukou Hadan-) is also great, best action anime to date I'd say but it's not a series it's just 1 movie

I guess there are more but I think this is good for now

if you're into mecha I'd sugest Mobile Suit Gundam 00 and Full Metal Panic I'm not into mecha myself but I still liked those 2

Cowboy Bebop is by far my favorite anime of all time
it's movie is also good
FLCL is an amazing 6 episodes
Excel Saga is funny as hell, if you have commentators notes on
Outlaw star is good
Ruroni kenshin is amazing
Trigun rules
if your into harem animes, Love hina and Negima
...oh one piece is pretty good
and just for the hell of it

Yu gi oh the abridged series!

Death Note, Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood (basically what the first series was supposed to be), Hellsing Ultimate, all the Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei seasons (you will laugh yourself to death0, Bakemonogatari (a MUST for all anime fans), Trigun, Samurai Champloo, The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, Clannad, Spice and Wolf (its really a great series), K-ON, Toradora!, Cowboy Bebop, Neon Genesis Evangelion and Seitokai no Ichizon.

And, for all you people who come on just to say that they hate anime, stop. We don't care if you hate it, but don't go spamming these threads with "Urr hurr, I hatezorz teh animez." Its bloody annoying and takes us nowhere.

Beck-Mongolian Chop Squad is amazing, especially if you listen to good music. And Neon Genesis is the anime by which you must judge all other anime. If you want someting that will mess you up, Berserk and Gantz are definately worth a look.
