I enjoyed anime with strong female lead like Mirai Nikki, Kara no Kyoukai, Claymore and Murder princess.
Now I want MOAR.
Please help me.

Thanks in advance.

Seirei no Moribito is the first that comes to mind.

Really need to emphasize Seirei no Moribito, if nothing else.

And speaking of that 'else', in order of what I'd recommend.

Ghost in the Shell (all of it) - The major is probably the 'strongest' female lead in anime. Dresses like a stripper though.

Kino no Tabi - A series of sort-of-parables, and one of the best leads in any show, regardless of gender.

Juuni Kokuki - A girl becomes leader of a nation. Again, one of the best leads in anything.

Noir - Two female assassins, being all assassin like.

Revolutionary Girl Utena - Crazy take on gender roles in fiction. Also, fencing.

Kemono no Souja Erin - Follows a 'beast master' as she grows from a girl to a young woman, and she's awesome.

Flag - A woman photographer in a near future war. Incredibly unique show.

Most anything by Kon, so Perfect Blue, Paprika, and Millennium Actress.

El Cazador de la Bruja - Same team as Noir, so more women with guns. Not as great as Noir, but still fun.

Among others, obviously, but that's enough to start, I'd think.

Ghost In The Shell.
