Shit son, it's on.
Classics like Sailor Moon, DBZ, Astro Boy. Oldies like Trigun, Wolf's Rain, Hellsing (though I can only recomend the OVAs, because the anime doesn't do the original manga justice) and Cowboy Beebop. For gore I can only recomend Battle Royale as I am not into that kind of shit. Shojo animes include Inu Yasha, Black Butler, Tokyo Mew Mew, Cardcaptor Sakura and Reborn! (if you can, get as much material on it as you can. In order to understand EVERYTHING you have to read the manga, watch the anime, listen to the drama CDs, ect.) There are more in the back of my brain, but I can't pull them out right now.
I can recomend the Bleach series until the end of the Soul Society Arc. After that, it's all down hill.
