Gurren Lagann -- A lot happens in each episode and just plain AWESOME!

D. Grey-Man -- Just plain AWESOME!
5 Centimeters Per Second -- Love story. Very short series. (only 3 episodes)
Fullmetal Alchemist -- Just plain AWESOME!
Metropolis --Kinda like Astro Boy.
School Rumble -- Hilarious!
Death Note -- Very interesting and has many twists and turns to keep you on the edge of your seat.
Cyborg 009 -- Very old Anime, so not made that well, but has a good storyline.

Manga:
+Anima -- Very good series for all ages.
Nui! -- Very good series for all ages. Only three books, but only one has been translated to English so far.

What is Rozen Maiden about, I heard it was good.  

[Jareths Girl_24TTW]

Paranoid and overly sensitive to other people’s opinions, Sakurada Jun locks himself in his room and lets no one into his heart. Skipping school and making all attempts to avoid others, he amuses himself by purchasing occult toys, dolls and other paraphernalia. One day he finds something that doesn’t merely claim to be supernatural - a bona fide living doll. Within minutes, this doll, Shinku, calmly tells the young Jun to become her servant or die.

I read some other Yuri called Aoi...something I forgot but it was cute ^^

Aoi Hana. heart I'd recommend the anime as well, but Crunchyroll seems to have removed it from the site.


Cardcaptor Sakura isn't gory or mysterious, but it fits everything else you mentioned liking. Since you mentioned liking Lucky Star, I'll recommend The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya; they're by the same company, so LS references Haruhi a lot. Haruhi also fits several of the things you mentioned liking, so that's a bonus. I'll also recommend Baccano!; it's a fantastic series, but not everyone will watch it since it's gory.

As for yuri, I have a handful of recommendations:
- Maria-sama ga Miteru/Maria Watches Over Us: Very slow, and most of the yuri is closer to friendship than love, but it's a pretty big series in the yuri fandom and worth a look. It's also school life/slice-of-life yuri, if that helps.
- Revolutionary Girl Utena: Fits pretty much everything on your requirements. It becomes a mind-screw as it goes on, though.
- Simoun: The first episode is awful, the show takes forever to get going, and the yuri is very fanservicey. That said, it's one of my favorite series (yuri or no) and I'd highly recommend it.
- Iono-Sama Fanatics: Miyabi Fujieda has some great yuri manga, but this is the only one that's gotten an English release.
- I haven't watched Sasamekikoto, Blue Drop, or Kannazuki no Miko/Destiny of the Shrine Maiden, but they're all yuri anime I hear mentioned a lot. The latter two links require a subscription to watch the entire series, but you can at least watch the first couple of episodes for free.

Anime: Shakugan No Shana (supernatural/thriller)
D.Grayman (supernatural/thriller)
Air (drama/romantic)
Angel Sanctuary (Drama/Romance/Supernatural)
Excel Saga (Action/Comedy/Science/Fiction...think of it more as the anime equivalent of Robot Chicken because of it's randomness & comedy)
Sailor Moon (Comedy/Drama/Romance/Magic) there are 5 seasons.

Manga: Rurouni Kenshin (Action/Adventure/ Samurai-Swordsman Era) it has 28volumes.

I can't remember the others.

K-On! is a good school-based anime. It is about 4 girls who start a light music club together in their first year of high school. A fifth girl eventually joins the group the following year. The focus is mainly on the main guitarist of the group, Yui, who doesn't even know anything about music when she first joins, but it focuses on the other girls, their friends outside the club, Yui's sister, and their club advisor as well.

Currently it's airing in it's second season, and last I checked the 4 older girls are seniors making preparations to apply to college.

If you're interested in yuri, there IS a bit of yuri-fandom among the fans because pretty much all the characters are girls, however, it's not really canon.

Also, because it's music based, the songs and "music videos" for this series tend to be pretty awesome. : )


As for manga, I really like Special A (romantic-comedy about a group of super smart kids in a program called Special A, focusing around the #2 girl always trying to beat the #1 boy in the program), Wild Ones (a story about a girl whose mother dies so she goes to live with her grandfather who is the head of a yakuza group), and My Girlfriend is a Geek (the first volume was just released in English, and it's about a guy who asks a girl to be his girlfriend despite her being a hardcore otaku and yaoi fangirl, and the repercussions that come with that decision).
