What exactly are you looking for? Thrills, Chills, Psychological, Comedy, Slice of Life, Action, Adventure, Sports, Mahjong?

Personally, I can recommend "Kaiji" which is about a guy called Kaiji who is forced into debt and has to bet his life on reckless things. Very entertaining, emotional, and brilliant. The Psychological Mind Games played between the characters are great. I honestly think it's my favourite anime of all time.

"Welcome to the NHK" is another anime I'd recommend. It's about a guy called Satou who is a NEET and has trouble leaving the house until he meets a girl named Misato who tries her best to help him break out of his NEET life, and start living a normal productive life in society. Really emotional, great characters and story arcs. Even has comedic moments.

"Ping Pong the Animation" is another I'd recommend. It's about five individual ping pong players trying their hardest to reach the championships and winning, but of course only one of them can. It's a great anime and is quite short. It takes around 3 episodes to truly pick up and can be quite boring at the start, but trust me it's really good. It's only 11 episodes long so it won't take a lot out of your life by watching it. Great characters and arcs, really great music. While the artstyle is ugly and unappealing, the animation makes up for it.

"One Outs" is another. It's basically the idea behind Kaiji but replace it was a baseball pitcher who always strike people out. It revolves around a character called "Tokuchi" who goes onto a professional baseball team to get them to the top. He bets with the chairman that if he strikes anyone out he is payed 5 million yen, but if someone hits his ball he pays 50 million. The beauty of this anime comes from the fact that pretty much all other teams have an ace that Tokuchi needs to best in someway or another, whether it be through playing normally, or running out the clock to tie a game, or even throwing a bat at someone to stop them from pitching. It's great.

"The World God Only Knows" is another. It's about a kid who is the god of visual novels and can capture the heart of any girl in those games, unfortunately someone believes him to be a god of capturing the hearts of any girl real or fake, and gives him a contract to see if he can help capture demons that are residing in the hearts of girls in his school. So he must use his visual novel knowledge, along with the help of a demon to capture the hearts of different girls every week or so. It's a really interesting anime, with great slice of life elements, comedy and even some video game references and mentions. It's really good.

"A Certain Magical Index" is another. While I wouldn't call it amazing, I still really enjoyed it. It's about a kid who has the power to dispel any magic or "esper" powers with his right hand, apart from that he's just a regular guy. He finds a girl on his balcony one day who turns out to be an "Index" of 100000+ books that a magical society are trying to recover. The anime revolves around him acting the hero and fighting people who are much much stronger than him, even a fight where he fights the strongest "esper" in the city. I won't say anymore, but give it a looksee. It's full of turnabouts, comedy, slice of life and really great fights.

Others I'll suggest, but just their main points are.

Cowboy Bebop - Action, Great Characters, Stories, and arcs, Great Music, Emotional moments. 26 episodes
Space Dandy - Comedy, Action, Great Characters, Great Music, Interesting and Engaging Stories. 26 episodes.
Trigun - Comedy, Action, Post Apocolyptic, Great Music, Great Characters. Gets really emotional and deep by the end. 26 Episodes.
Jojo's Bizarre Adventure - It's just amazing, give it a watch. It's everything you could ever want in an anime. (I'd read it personally)

Personally I'd suggest Kaiji, NHK, Space Dandy and JoJo.
