I would like to find some anime that I haven't seen, but the story is really important to me. I want:

1. A good storyline that makes sense- It builds really well from episode to episode- no standalone arcs/ episodes, no random plot elements thrown together pretending to be a story. Nothing made more complicated/ weird than it needs to be just for the heck of it. Things like mechas, magical powers and moe girls should not be all over the place for no reason- if they are there, they should at least have a clear purpose besides pandering.

2. Characters that are interesting, not cliche and not obnoxious.

3. Some level of maturity in the presentation. I am not into shounen or anything that seems like it is aimed primarily at kids.

4. No or very little filler. I want every minute to be worth it.

Thanks guys! :)

Y u no have rating for LoGH? It will make the LoGH bot tell you to watch it (or watch it again)

Ok, for non-LoGH recs:
Key the Metal Idol
Macross
Please Save My Earth (except that the anime only covers about 7.5 volumes of the 21 volume series, be prepared to read the rest)
Terra e... (TV series, sure, the movie is shorter and clearly gonna be more streamlined, but it feels like a cliffnotes)

No idea if you're into gambling type, but Akagi and Kaiji both are extremely entertaining with no fillers whatsoever. Might not suit your taste however. (Spying your lists :P)

Gun x Sword might suit your taste, though there are some fillers there.

X TV, it's a bit older but definitely worth a look.

Samurai Champloo definitely up in there, though it's episodic.

Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood
Already set as watching, lets see.

You could possibly like Angel Beats! since you somewhat like Clannad. Though since its not a 10, you may not like it. Though most people who loved Clannad also appreciated Angel Beats!

Jizzy as you would call yourself because youre a dick The most butthurt award goes to you And clearly you havent watched that many shows thats why you cant determine if a show is unique or not Or maybe you're just a child who likes common stuffs where hero saves the day and guys gets all the girls. Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me
