General Anime/Manga/Otaku Thread

[Hexadecimal*]

Can anyone give me a few ideas of animes to watch? I've been lucking out on a few I really wanted to get into but couldn't and kinda scared of taking that leap of faith.

I'm not really into horror btw, so something outside that genre would be great.

Ah... We're similar ages, so chances are you might have already seen what I would recommend if you were a Toonami brat like me. Did you catch The Big O or Outlaw Star? 

Otherwise Hare+Guu is really good and an odd take on harem anime is Happy Lesson about an orphan that has a group of teachers all wanting to be his mother.
