I watch anything and everything. :O I just need recommendations and I can look them up myself. I'm not feeling picky right now, it just gets harder and harder to find an anime that I can enjoy. I can't remember the last time I just HAD to marathon an anime because it was just too damn good.

Help anyone, plz?

Here are some that you haven't watched, which are very good (imo):

Kanon (2006): Clannad and Air are ok, but this is a masterpiece
The Place Promised in Our Early Days: from the maker of 5cm/s
Maria-sama ga Miteru: all season have a very high amount of character interaction and are quite pleasant to watch
Legend of the Galactic Heroes: You mustn't miss the best anime space opera ever made
Kara no Kyoukai: an ongoing series of movies with nice story, a dark tone and awesome animation.
Blood+: the true story begins after around 10 episodes
Top wo Nerae! 1 + 2: the 2nd one is the predecessor to TTGL

Try Aria. It's not sth to marathon. (You would kill yourself if you finished it in 2 days, it's that good)
And I see you are at the 300th episode of One Piece, so watch the next 12.

Try Twelve kingdoms
It starts kind of slow at first, but gets really good and engaging so I think you'll like it.

I hate both the lead Yoko and her "friend" (the supporting female) in 12 kingdoms. Yoko just keeps crying all the time and behaves like those weak frail gurl waiting to be rescued. I mean... come on lar, you are not a baby, stand up for yourself plz. Her friend just pisses me off watching her "Im special and i know everything" attitude.

Try Mushishi. :D

I agree that they are both irritating at first, but that's the whole point. The main character does change.

I second Mushishi, but it's not the type of anime you would marathon easily.

Thanks everyone. I'll look into these. :)

I've actually seen the original Kanon. I watched the first ep of the new Kanon as well, but when I did I actually didn't see anything too different compared with the old one so I stopped.(I usually don't retain too much about an anime some time after I watch it, so that may be the case, but from what I can remember they both seemed very similar) What's the difference between the two?

I actually just guestimated which episode of One Piece I was on. I was somewhere in the Thriller Bark arc, I just don't remember which episode. I'm planning on watching the rest when the arc is completed. It didn't seem like a very good arc to me compared to say, Nami's and Robin's rescue.

I've watched a lot of eps already. D: Is the anime completed?

I think I actually have this on my external HDD. I'll check it out. I think someone mentioned Gungrave too and I think I have that too.

I actually watched some of Mushishi. I'll probably get the rest of the eps I've seen and save it to watch for a later date since I'll probably want to rewatch the eps I've already seen.

I can't really tell you that, likewise I have only watched episode 1 of the original Kanon after falling in love with the 06 version, since people are always saying that the original version isn't worth watching.
Since the art is nothing to brag about I think the story isn't half as intense as with the newer one since you are more likely to like better drawn characters.
Moreover the original is a 12 episode show, whereas the 06 version has 24 episodes, but nothing felt like a filler to me. So I think the original must feel a bit rushed.
I don't know if you can appreciate the 06 as much when you already know the plot twists, but since there is so many bad anime out there it can't hurt to watch something good even when it feels like a 2nd time. The first few episodes may feel a bit slow, but they are perfectly relaxing especially right now before christmas.
I also heard that things like comedy and even the main character feels completely different than in the original one.
Personally I think that Toei was not ready for this awesome visual novel, therefore seeing the Kyoto Animation version is a must when you have watched the Toei version.
BTW, I can't find the original show on your list.

I've been watching Twelve Kingdoms. It's pretty good. I enjoy adventure/fantasy anime every once in a while. I don't think I would want to finish Mushishi after this though. Might want to watch something more realistic after this; I'm nearing the last few episodes right now. The story is decent, but it looks like they're dragging the anime along since there are a lot of recaps throughout the later episodes and there are even a couple of episodes dedicated to recapping the anime. D: Still decent though.

I see. I'll probably check it out. I end up rewatching a lot of anime, so watching a remake would be pretty cool for a change.

Yeah, when I first joined MAL, I went through the entire list adding all the anime that caught my eye, but I knew I missed a lot of the ones I've seen. I've added tons since then and have probably still missed some. D: I'll probably add it after this post.

I think I've actually seen all of those. I haven't completed Ghost Hound or Lain yet, but I've completed all of the rest listed there.

I'll check out Keleido Star, and is Aria the one about the girl on the boat? I think I've only seen the first couple episodes of... some season. I don't know. I may be thinking of another anime.

I gotta 2nd Ghost Hound, but its not something you can just sit and marathon. At least I couldn't. 2 or 3 eps a day is cool, but after that your brain starts getting frizzled.

No your right, aria is the one with the girls that are Undines ( tour guides using gondolas through canals ). Its a slice-of-life, comedy, and in a way sci-fi.
