Dammit, was about to recommend you Gankutsuou but then I saw you'd already seen it.
Hmm...you should try Legend of the Galactic Heroes. It aired from 1988 to 1997, and it is in my opinion one of if not the best anime ever (I've only seen 14 episodes though, but still it's that amazing so far). It's sci-fi, drama, some action, and a little bit of romance here and there. Plus it has an incredible storyline. The character designs are also excellent - very realistic, but they suit the show perfectly.

I'd also recommend trying Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex. There's no romance in that, but it's an excellent sci-fi with plenty of action. It's more episodic, although there is a background story that runs throughout the whole series. The character designs in this are also more realistic that some, and I personally really like them.

Another one is Planetes. It's a sci-fi with plenty of drama, quite a bit of action, and also romance. Not sure if you'll like the character designs, but it's a great anime nevertheless.

For something fantasy, check out Spice and Wolf. Not much action, but a lot of adventure, romance, some drama, great character designs, and an excellent storyline.

Looking for: something like zero no tsukaima, tower of druaga, shakugan no shana, or tales of the abyss for example.
Favourite Genres: action/adventure/romance/comedy

its kinda sad finishing completed series
or getting caught up with airing ones
and not have anything just as good to watch :[

for j0kk23 I'd recommend Hanbun no Tsuki ga Noboru Sora - it's drama, romance and slice of life with a calm theme - I was positively surprised while watching it because I normally don't really like anime with a "sad setting"

and reggietard might like "Sumomomo Momomo: Chijou Saikyou no Yome" a martial arts romantic comedy with very weird characters.

@An00biz; wow, you haven't seen Da Capo. One of the best harems I've seen ( I don't like harems that much ). Unpredictable, magic, romance, comedy, harem, and good characters.

thanks ... I think that one is what I am looking for ^^

@ An00biz

Seto no Hanayome is what you're looking for. Da Crapo is extremely predictable, whilst Seto isn't a stereotypical harem.

Also, you can try Inukami!, which isn't really a harem show, it's just that the lead character wants it to be one :)

You can also try:

aoikishu- Thanks. That anime sounds kind of interesting. I will check it out.
shoxk- Not sure how I will like Tengen Toppa. But I will try it.
And Do you have to watch the other gundam series before watching that one?
I might try Ghost in a shell. There is alot to catch up on though.

-Thanks!

thnx for the suggestions i think i'll try those out

Looking for: Preferably something short, in the 12-13 range, but a 'regular' 24-26 episode series is alright as well. I'm looking for some nice fantasy, maybe a touch of romance but mainly I'm looking for good writing and character, some action and adventure would be nice as well, but plot, drama, character are the main things I'm looking for.
Favourite Genres: Fantasy, Psychological, Drama, Action (realistic action); but I'll give anything a shot. I don't like Mecha, but as long as there are superior redeeming factors I can put that aside (such as Eureka Seven).

I'll update my List now as to avoid getting recommended something I've seen; thanks in advance for any recommendations!

@ Jaredwcooper

Some short series you could try:

Baccano!
Tower of Druaga - The Aegis of Uruk
World Destruction
Zero no Tsukaima (only the first season though as the next two seasons were progressively diabolical)
Night Wizard
Rozen Maiden

And a couple of longer series:

Seirei no Moribito
Simoun
Mai-Hime
Inukami! (the comedy writing is excellent)
Last Exile
Bokurano

And since you don't like mecha, may I suggest Top wo Nerae!. At 6 episodes it's worth watching, and is far, far better than NGE.

@ everyone who recommended me anime

Thanks a bunch, Archaeon. I'll try to watch the first six you mentioned at the very least. Good thing too; I've never even heard of most of those, save for Tower of Druaga and Seirei no Moribito. Really appreciate it.
