Strike Witches. no point in watching this unless you're a big fan of ecchi anime. all they do is fly around with underwear and shoot at weird looking objects. not to mention that it's a terribly boring series i dropped it half way in the first episode, utter crap. -_-

Don't bother with Lucky Star, FLCL, and Naruto. The first two, especially, are a total, atrocious waste of time.

Beck, D.Gray-Man, and Reborn are watchable, but not a must.

I do recommend Nana, Blood+, and Last Exile.

@ Angel_Beats

I wouldn't recommend 5 CM Per Second, Aria, Azumanga Daioh, FLCL, Gintama, Lovely Complex, One Piece, Tenjou Tenge, and Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles to anyone, but judging by what you seem to like, you'd probably enjoy them more than me.

Durarara!!. a lot of people have said this series has really intriguing characters but i on the other hand disagree. the stories are all mixed up so it's a little hard to comprehend what's going on. unless you're really bored i don't suggest you waist time on this show besides for the art and music. :P

Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha, definitely.\

It's NOTHING compared to madoka magica. On the contrary, it's full of girly shit.

Kami nomi zo Shiru Sekai: Yonin to Idol. like most ova's these days this one is also one you can skip. i gave up watching it after 5 minutes. way off topic and unless you're a hardcore the world god only knows fan then i suggest you not watch it either.

Saikano - I have yet to finish this. I didn't like the characters or how they were presented, and I didn't like the plot at all. I only saw the first 3 episodes or so before stopping, but I could never get into it. Others have enjoyed it, but I had to force myself through the beginning then just couldn't take it anymore.

Paranoia Agent - It's not that I Wouldn't recommend it, but I just wouldn't put it as a high priority. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't great. It's pretty surreal, especially towards the end, but otherwise, it's average. Some parts were well done with a lot of suspense and mystery, but nothing exactly stood out from the series. You might want to give it a try if you have some extra time, though.

Vampire Knight also didn't work that much for me. I don't know why people seem to like it so much.

Kimi ni Todoke. i've never been a really big fan of dense characters, and shoujo's tend to have a ton of them. i don't know how well you take dumb characters, but if you can get past that part you might like it. the art is quite unique, but that might be the only save point. ;o

:-) Seems like I always follow Angle_Beats in these threads. Just tends to work out that way.

I will prefice thas as always by saying I would never tell anyne NOT to watch something but rather frame it as what I didn't care for.

DearS - I found it very cliché and silly but likable enough to watch through to the end.

Draugonaut: The Resonance - Still picking at it but I don't think I'm going to finish it. It should be good but it just muddles along.

Fortune Arterial - I like vampires so I tried it and found just another school/rom/com.

MM! - Was intrigued byt the masochistic theme but found just another school/rom/com.

Sengoku Otome: Momoiro Paradox - I'll try anything Samurai but this one turned me off. Sorry girls trying to pull off Sengoku Basara just didn't work for me.

Stary*Sky - Even though the episodes were short, I just couldn't make it through.

@ RenoPsychoKiller :

Togainu no Chi - Togainu started off with an interesting plot, but it was all a total letdown. The series just seemed ridiculous by the end and left me questing why I would go through the trouble of watching it. It goes against most of your expectations which is sometimes a good thing, but definitely works against this series.

Don't bother with Shugo Chara, unless you're keen on average, cliché, cheesy mahou shoujo stories.

Wolf's Rain, Last Exile, Maria Holic, and Beck are all worth of a look.

@ Illisible

Don't waste any time on 5 CM Per Second, Claymore, Ergo Proxy, Full Metal Alchemist + Brotherhood, Grave Of The Fireflies, Lovely Complex, School Days, and Summer Wars.

The rest are fine.

Minami-ke: As annoying as annoying gets. Its not funny, its not pleasurable, it only inflicts pain on the viewer. Single worst anime I've ever seen (just my opinion)

Fractale: Ehhh it starts out O.k, but it starts to get pretty bad near the end (a mixture of being too preachy, as well as having poor characters and a loopy plot that makes little sense). Had the potential to be decent but turned out to be average at best.

Grenadier: Meh... its not the worst anime out there but its so damn forgetable. The girl stores her ammo in between her breasts, thats all you'll remember from it (granted thats kind of awesome in a pretty perverted sort of way, but its still not really worth the watch)

Winter fucking Sonata. If I had 10.5 hours to live, I'd spend it watching Winter Sonata, because it feels like an eternity.
If you mapped the original K-drama over this anime, it'd be exactly the same. The characters are shallow, greedy, and all they want is "love" and by love I mean weird soap opera love. This would be the equivalent of All My Children getting an anime.

Basquash! - Interesting idea, but that's about it. Characters aren't particularly well developed, the plot is all over the place and the ending is ridiculous.

Chaos;Head - Tries to take multiple plot paths from the original VN and ends up as a huge clusterfuck that makes very little sense.

Ichiban Ushiro no Daimaou - It's pretty much Harry Potter but with ecchi.

Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha - Full of pacing issues. I'd heavily recommend the movie instead, since it's got far better pacing, skips out many pointless scenes from the original series, focuses more on what matters and looks damn shiny too.

Witchblade - Despite the name, it acts more like a dysfunctional sitcom/slice of life show with mediocre animation and quite possibly the most anti-climactic ending I've ever seen.

Nanoha StrikerS - If you liked both the first season and A's, you'll most likely find StrikerS disappointing as it takes the series in a radically different direction

Mirai Nikki OVA - Not worth seeing if you're already watching the show

Gundam Seed Destiny - An absolute train wreck, though it has a great soundtrack

Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu (2009) - Just google "Endless Eight"

To Aru Majutsu no Index - long-winded self-righteous speeches and very vexing main characters

I guess, Fate/stay night was boring as all heck and I doubt they could make this any better, so I'll say don't bother with that. But who knows it may be amazing...

How does that mean do not watch? Wouldn't it be more like watch the first E8 and the last E8 episode or watch 3 of the E8 to get a sense of what the director was going for but without sitting though 8 episodes. Look at that I just trimmed Haruhi(2009) down to 22/23 episodes isn't that within the optimal ADD episode count for people on MAL.

Seriously anyone watching Haruhi(2009) needs to know about the episode orders and what can be skipped or you'll end up a bitter nag moaning about how those evil Japs made you sit through the E8.
