I have watched One Piece, Naruto, Naruto Shippuden, Pokemon throughout my life, Cowboy Bebop, and Full Metal Alchemist. One Piece is my current favorite out of these. However, seeing as I have free time on my hands, I wish to watch another one. Any recommendations?

(And I refuse to finish watching Naruto Shippuden, it is terrible in my opinion)


Possibilities:

1)Hellsing
2)FMA Brotherhood (I will DEFINITELY get to this eventually)
3) Anything else you recommend.

1. Serial Experiments Lain, It's The Second coming of Jesus, I even did a review!!! [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/326.214642-Sacmans-Sac-tastic-Anime-Review-Serial-Experiments-Lain]

2. Ergo Proxy, A lot of people say Ergo Proxy is an anime you have to think about but on reflection it feels more like a parody or satire of over pretentious anime like Eva. The last episode is even titled "Deus Ex Machina."

3. Elfen Lied, What this show does is hard to explain. It's gory and bloody and filled with tasteless nudity but I loved it. Elfen Lied just got me so attachedto the characters that come the end I cried...

4. Welcome To The NHK. It's hard to explain... I mean it's really the only slice of life I've ever loved this much but I'm just not exactly sure why. It could be the pitch black humor, the realistic characters, the social satire, or even the brilliant writing. Honestly, however, I think it's more the fact that Sato's, The main character's, situation hit's very close to home for me...

5. FLCL. I hate to sound like everyone else but FLCL is 6 episodes of awesome craziness!!!

6. Blue Sub No. 6. I used to watch this as a kid on Toonami and I really didn't get it but going back to watch all 4 episodes now I can safely say it's one of the most polished OVA series I've ever see, with an amazing soundtrack, great action, great animation, a standout art style, and one of the most coherent messages about human nature I've seen in anime.

7.Gundam The 08TH MS Team. It really stands out for me because it's one of the few Gundam series that give a general sense of fear because the action is unpredictable and the characters really endear themselves to the audiance...

8. Paranoia Agent. It's a truly great murder mystery that keeps you guessing at every turn but look past that and you'll find a very intriguing deconstruction of the human mind...

9.Gungrave. Possibly one of the most underrated shows I've seen. Gungrave is a truly great story about friendship, love and betrayal without ever falling into cheesiness the great animation, spectacular fight scenes and well thought out character development doesn't hurt either.

10.Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni. Despite having no real plot, since I consider Kai and Rei to be non canon, Higurashi is one of the most atmospheric and frightening shows I've ever seen. It constantly keeps you guessing and always gives a feeling of paranoia and dread...

Code Geass and Full Metal Panic are a couple of my favorites so you should totally check them out too.

Full Metal Panic. It's a mix of extremely over the top comedy over the main character's inability to mesh with modern society and action/drama with giant fighting robots. As far as most animes I've seen go, the story is pretty good and well paced, but the comedy is what really steals the show.

Ahh this is a tough question I recommend all of the series I have seen, but that's over 100... So read my mind and pick one of those.

On a serious point, uhmm High School of the Dead is awesome, Dragonball Kai, Ruroni Kenshin, Kenichi (my fav), and Utawarerumono all of those are great action anime.

black lagoon, baccano, and durarara are worth watching, also give the patlabor movies (1 and 2 specifically, ignore the third one) a look

I would suggest Clannad... but from your... ahem, repertoire, you might like Trigun... That one is pretty good (In my unprofessional opinion). Clannad isn't any kind of action (well... mostly), but it is one of the best animes I have ever seen. Trigun... That's just plain fun on a bun.
