Anime Recommendation Thread
Apologies for the big post, haven't passed through in a while. Keep up the good work, I'm impressed you still maintain this.

Recommending Against:
C - This was pretty bad. Not like... Zero no Tsukaima bad (Can I get my name against that one bolded and in bright colors? Not being serious, but that's how I feel about it) but pretty damn bad. Probably a bottom 5 show for me out of shows I've actually finished.

Recommending Eden of the East.

Adding Martian Successor Nadesico. It's a nice parody of old mecha anime.

Oh my god. What fool said. Keep watching it over again. The sadness will compound and you'll be crying rivers.

First season really was that sad to me. Second was just sad juice up til the end.

Separate, to me the first season was about happiness and fun, while the second is about sadness and sorrow for the later part of it. Overall, the story it builds from meeting to family to death is nothing but great.

Recommending against FMA: Brotherhood. The last 20-ish episodes dragged on far too long and the show had way too many stupid moments for my taste, eg "I can make fireballs by snapping my fingers, but I'm going to fight with my fists instead".

New Addition

Karas (Karas: the Propecy, Karas: the Revelation) | Action | Supernatural, Sci-Fi | 6 episodes (2 Movies) |Recommend

Didn't see this on the list so I'm recommending it.
The plot might get a bit confusing the first time you watch it since it doesn't explain things in detail, but I still recommend watching it. (At least watch the first 10 mins)
Overall it has great music, fantastic visuals, over the top action, and has a good dub.

Berserk(read the manga as well)
Gantz(again read the manga as well)

Both of em are rather dark but very good animes nonetheless.

Recommending:
Code Geass | Action | Sci-fi, Drama | 50 Episodes
Durarara!! | Action | Romance, Supernatural | 26 Episodes (They made Episodes "12.5" and "25" later after it was completed).

Both are great animes, in my opinion, though I would consider Durarara!! in the "Mystery" department as well.

Recommending Against:
Death Note | Psychological | Drama, Supernatural | 37 Episodes

I watched this entire anime, and in between individual episodes barely anything happened. It was far too slow pace. There were too many episodes where the only relevant information occurred in the last 3-4 minutes. I also felt that I could skip entire episodes, and because of the extensive review over previous episodes in later episodes, I wouldn't have missed a thing.
Feel free to disagree with me, but that's how the anime came off to me when I finally finished it. I felt like the majority of my time watching it was wasted.

Recommending: Ano Natsu de Matteru | Comedy | Sci-Fi, Romance | 12 Episodes

For anyone that missed this last season, this anime was basically one of the shows that everyone watched, and that everyone loved every single episode. Its a great story with a slightly complex love pentagon going on. The conclusion was the only thing some people will think is unsatisfying, but it does not take away from the beautiful story one bit.

Recommending: Kids on the Slope (Sakamichi no Apollon): A slice of life/Coming of age/Music anime about several high school students, their passion for jazz, and life in general.

Why you should watch it: Well, mainly because it's a nice breath of air in comparison to the overabundance of moe/loli/shonen stuff. Plus Shinichiro Watanabe and Yoko Kanno teamed up again. They previously worked together on Macross and Cowboy Bebop. If that doesn't get you interested, then you have no taste. Yes I said it.
