I'd say skip Angel Beats I hated that show. Personally i'd suggestFlamezdudes said:
Gankutsuou: The Count of Monte Cristo
I mean it's the count of Monte Cristo in anime form, what more do you need
Planetes:
A great series especially if you're into space. Great characters, plays kind of like a slice of life series in space at the beginning but gets a plot later on. A great underrated series.
Baccano:
Imagine if tarantino did an anime. Just watch the opening below. A whole lot of FUN!
those are my three recommendations
The only anime I ever Watched was Full Metal Alchemist (the shorter, English version; Don't know if that counts). I REALLY liked the story and the message. It wasn't just mindless action bullshit. It...really....said something. And what it said, blew me away at the time.
(To clarify, I'm NOT calling other Anime's mindless action or that that is my opinion of them; I'm just saying that broadly.)

Detective Conan is enjoyable. Though the official English translation of the manga is called Case Closed for copyright-related and barbarian-based reasons.

Dunno if someone has already said this, but just to make a few corrections.
1. The Fruits Basket Manga was finished. The anime only used about a quarter of the manga in total.
2. There was never any plans for a second season. A lot of people wanted it - a lot of people signed petitions to get it - but they said they had no plans to actually continue it.
I wasn't a big fan of 00 personally. The characters all felt bland and lifeless in my opinion. Gundam Seed and Gundam Seed Destiny are good though.Palademon said:
Cowboy Bebop, it's been described as "the anime for people who don't really like anime". It's quite Western.
Cowboy bebop is really awesome I'd reccomend that with BoozeZombie
Black lagoon is epic and as far as I've seen it's better to watch it in english than in originly subby dubby what ever. what it in english your ateries with explode with adrenaline

Let's see yeah Gundamn wing IS great but they tend to reuse old animation sequences and about half way through volume one you WIll notice it... I still love the giant robots but hey choice is yours
ANOTHER great giant mch one would be the Full Metal Panic Series. it's got a lot of the giant mech battling of Gundamn Wing paired with having Mr super serious soldier going to a japanese high school to protect a special kind of target... with various misunderstandings hilarity ensuses including him walking into the girls change room look for a bug the employment of military hardware on everyday items. and if you develop a fondness for the inbetween school sceens they did a season 1.5 that was focused entirely on building the relationship between the two main characters.
I'f you want cartoons I'd Also reccomend Boondocks and Avatar the Last airbender. they bother sorta have the anime look but well it's western

You made a good start with NGE and Haruhi imo. It's tradition for me to recommend Cowboy Bebop, Fullmetal Alchemist, Full Metal Panic, GANTZ, Ghost In The Shell (can really start it anywhere, as long as you try to keep Stand Alone Complex and SAC: 2nd Gig in order), Samurai Champloo, Last Exile, Basilisk, High School Of The Dead and the first 64 episodes of Bleach.Flamezdudes said:
If you like the drama aspects of NGE and Haruhi, I alos reccomend Serial Experiments: LAIN, Jin/Roh, Samurai X: Trust and Betrayal as well as Reflections (and to a lesser extent the looong series based off those movies, Ruroni Kenshin), Ergo Proxy, Elfen Lied, Trinity Blood and Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust and the Hellsing Ultimate, Gungrave, Death Note, and Wolf's Rain.
For giggles, FLCL, Full Metal Panic: Fumoffu, Trigun, .Hack//SIGN, and Excel Saga.
Glorious! Also be aware that there's an alternate ending called End of Evangelion which is supposed to go in place of the last two episodes and just so happens to be my favourite film of all time.Flamezdudes said:
Code Geass is awesome, Death Note sucks. They both have the same main character pretty much except Death Note's Light doesn't have the relatability, personality, inner conflict or character arc.Flamezdudes said:
You should also watch Cowboy Bebop. It's basically 40's and 50's Jazz if 40's and 50's Jazz was space pirate bounty hunters in a film noir setting. It also happens to have my second favourite action scene of all time (The first being in the aforementioned EoE). Serial Experiments Lain is very similar to Eva - to the point that people assumed that it borrowed themes and ideas from Eva (This isn't actually true, though).
I liked the characters. I actually didn't like Seed because although the premise was good, very little plot seemed to actually happen in the 28 episodes I watched. The battles all used the same shots, and Destiny is hated by many for using the same shots from the first series.Flare Phoenix said:
