Darker than Black: Ryuusei no Gemini. i'm going to take it that you saw the first season already. if you liked it then i'm sure you'll like this too unless you're really against a different side of the plot.

@Sir_Lexa

School Days! Regardless of what people say about it they don't realize what a masterpiece it really is. Drama at its best.

@OriginANIME

Welcome to the NHK is a brilliant, brilliant dark comedy with a loveable cast of nutcases and strong social commentary.

Mawaru Penguindrum is the best currently airing anime right now, I definitely suggest watching it.

@JudoJon:

Kimi ni Todoke 2nd Season: Since you've already seen the first season, you definitely should check this season out. Things wrap up in this season. Sawako is her same awkward self. :P

Natsume Yuujinchou: Ohmygosh, this show is a masterpiece. I bet you, one episode and you will be hooked.

My Neighbor Totoro: A classic. I'm kinda surprised you've never seen this before - it's a touching story.

Wolf's Rain: The plot is unique. You'll be on the edge of your seat when you watch this show! :D

@judojon

MAL says we have a "Very High" compatibility. That means that my suggestions are mathematically more likely to agree with you.

Watch Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei; at the very least, I can say you have never seen anything like it before. It's got the manic energy of FLCL and an eye for color and composition befitting any work by Shaft or Akiyuki Shinbou.

@gigglingidiot
You have a lot of good stuff here; it would almost be easier to say what you shouldn't watch, but that's cheating.

Anime that stands out includes:

-Death Note (it's just very surprising to see such a popular anime on someone's PTW). The show itself is worth a look. It isn't very deep but the execution is near flawless, if you ignore the slightly less good late episodes.

-Haruhi (see Death Note). The only fault I can give this show is the Endless Eight (but you can just turn that into the Endless Four and you would still get the gist of it, and besides, the movie kind of validates Endless Eight out of how amazing it is).

- NHK: This is something of a must-watch. I command you to watch it.

-Beck: This will remind you of the power of youth, dedication, and taking the future and putting in your hands.

-Gurren Lagann: If Beck is dedication, then Gurren Lagann is passion. Every frame of this anime is dripping with it and damned if it isn't contagious.

@MAJORx3
Phantom Requiem:
slow paced at first but it gets hella interesting and the ending gives a major WTF...

@Sozora
Baccano! - Great story with unique presentation and an interesting cast. It's just a lot of fun to watch.
Black Lagoon
Bokurano
Cross Game
Durarara!!
Ergo Proxy
Shiki

@fable

Phantom: Requiem for the Phantom. woot another easy recommendation. lots of action and drama so if you like those genres i'm sure you'll love phantom. besides that it's a really fun series to watch enjoy!

@ Angel_Beats :

Natsume Yuujinchou - Definitely a great watch. I first started the series around two years ago and just kind of stopped watching after 2 episodes for no apparent reason and recently picked it back up again since a new season came out and I figured that it had to be good for all three seasons to rank so high. It kind of dies down when you get to the next two seasons, but in my opinion I thought that this had a really genuine feel about it and it was also a really relaxing watch.

Ookiku Furikabutte - Ah Oofuri. How many times have I rewatched this? ... Probably only once, regardless, I thought that it was an amazing series. I've never been much of a fan of watching sports, but I always found every episode to be fairly exciting and it never really left you bored.

@ xxSapra:

Half of the animes on your list are great. I'm just gonna recommencement a few:

Antique Bakery
Cowboy Bebop
Cross Game
Ghost Hound
Jigoku Shoujo
Level E
Mushishi
Yojouhan Shinwa Taikei

@alec613

Amagami SS+ plus. obviously hasn't aired yet, but i'm going to take it that you've seen the first season already. probably going to be a great watch if you liked the first season seeing that season 2 is going to be a direct sequel. :D

@Angel_Beats
First, let me start of by saying Death Note isn't that overrated as you claim. The first half is considered a masterpiece for a reason...

On to the topic:
Gintama. It's pretty inconsistent, but some episodic parts are better than Bebop, I would say.
One Piece. As you know, the beginning is "meh" for some, "horrible" for others. But I still like it very much.

@Tiago97

Hellsing Ultimate
Alucard's sadistic nature, over-the-top gore and fantastic animation should be enough for anyone who just wants to sit back and enjoy the ride.

@thekaas

shakugan no shana. a great series if you like actions and romances. a fair mix between the two, on and off during the series.

I recommend that you should pick back up Death Note. It IS a really good anime.

Gintama.

And I will watch whatever the next person picks.

Edit - I was ninja'd but my post is still valid.

DURARARA. I Loved it!!!
