Digimon is really good. I recommend the third season/series, AKA Tamers, as it's actually kinda dark, and takes place in a different reality then the earlier ones, so you don't have to watch those.

The only anime i've ever actually enjoyed (besides Dragonball/Pokemon when I was little) is YuYu Hakusho. So that's going to be my recommendation.

Highschool of the Dead
+ Lots of action
+ Excellent English dub
+ Likable characters
+ Realistically talks about the social and political impact of a zombie apocalypse
+ Deliciously evil antagonists
- Too much fanservice
- Male to female character ratio is cliche
- Dialogue is occasionally cheesy

School Rumble
+ Kenji Harima
+ Kenji Harima
+ Kenji-mother-fucking-Harima
+ Extremely funny situations, even funnier characters
- Many interludes and subplots are boring

Sgt. Frog
+ Funny dubs
+ Tons of episodes
+ Huge nostalgia for anyone who read the manga
- Breaks the fourth wall a bit too much
- Geared toward kids a little too much for my liking

Haganai
+ Every characters is extremely interesting
+ Dialogue and character interactions are funny
+ Some awesome references
+ Great balance of humor and drama
- The male to female ratio is a bit cliche
- First episode is a little slow
- Some plot devices are reused

Never watched these, but if they're like the previous two I'll take this as a warning not to watch either.

(Yeah yeah; opinions and shit. Bite me.)

Black Cat is about a bunch of bounty hunters pandering to a annoying little girl because she would kill them if they don't give her what she wants (few years later she winds up in Toloveru). Tenga Toppa Gurren Lagann was about an orphan kid and his older brother figure who talks about random things while hanging out with a freakishly developed 14 year old girl who talks about anime, yeah, Yoko is a massive otaku. Nichijou was a poor attempt to mix Azumanga Daioh, Lucky Star, and a music video of Billy Joel's song "Allentown" together.

Is eMOE shit guaranteed!

Then there's Monster, City Hunter, Hokuto no Ken, Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood, Great Teacher Onizuka, Saint Seiya (thought it was plagued with crap load of fillers), DB series in general except for GT, YYH, Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, Cowboy Bebop, and Trigun.

Trigun needs to be remade, I mean the only reason why it ended that way was because the manga wasn't finshed that time.

That was the only thing the anime really had going for it. And yes, it did that pretty well.

"Sarah-fuckin'-Palin"

Not even close.

Cliche

+ Realistically talks about the social and political impact of a zombie apocalypse

"realistically"
"zombie apocalypse"

I personally thought the moral lessons and stuff came across very forced as well. They might as well be saying "We're going to give the viewers an unsubtle life lesson now!" in some parts.

+ Deliciously evil antagonists

Go play Dead Rising.

- Too much fanservice

It was one panty shot away from a hentai.

- Male to female character ratio is cliche

It was almost a harem, there were literally only two guys in the whole main cast. Takeshi almost got as many "action" scenes as he did actual action scenes.

- Dialogue is occasionally cheesy

Frequently, especially in their butchered attempt to cater to the Western crowd in the English dub.

"Sarah-fuckin'-Palin"

Gonna have to disagree with you here. Okay anime if you just want straight-up action, wasn't great though.

Go play Dead Rising.

Looks like you just nailed 90% of all animes, Kudos to you.
But what about the "Guy lost his memory and now has to Fall in love with the cute girl he found while he discovers himself so he can save the world"?

You have Afro Samurai as your userpic and you didn't think to recommend it?

Anyway, I'm gonna throw xxx-Holic in as my suggestion. The protagonist is a bit annoying sometimes, but it's well done overall.

If he hasent seen Afro Samurai then he shouldn't even be in existence lol
But i guess i just assumed he'd had watched it, its kinda hard to know about anime if you have seen that and Samurai champloo.

Oh man I loved that show. I never saw it past the tournament season though, the one with the huge guy and the sunglasses.

The tournament season was the best.

I didn't see it on the first page so close enough:

Cowboy Bebop

Elfen Lied

Outlaw Star

And almost ever Miyazaki film.

Avoid: Naruto, Bleach, One Piece, and Death Note

Lol, I never actually posted any suggestions of my own did I.

I R STOOPID

Well, my current all-time favourite is Ghost in the Shell, but it's been my all-time favourite for so long I can't help but think a better anime has popped up since it finished, so I've been trawling through lists of things that are supposed to be good. Most of it is just over-opinionated weeaboo shit, but some of the stuff stood out.

Kanon had its good points. Hell, if only the writers were a little less reliant on emo scenes it could've been a really good watch from start to finish.

Also, I've not watched it yet (it's on the to-do list) but I've liked what I've heard about Black Lagoon. It's supposed to be a purpose-built action anime, and it has a lot of guns and fighting and shit in it. In that respect, it apparently does its job very well, and it's definitely not full of annoyingly cute and pathetic schoolgirls (which is becoming somewhat of a rare treat in modern anime).
