My tastes lean heavily in the romance, comedy and drama directions, so I think I'll skip on suggesting something.

Unless, what's your take on Mecha anime? You can try Macross Frontier, or Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann - and moving away from mecha you can try Soul Eater.

I liked Soul Eater and Gurren Lagann especially because they didn't stick to the normal conventions - Gurren Lagann seemed to be making fun of them actually.

Oh damn ... I went and made suggestions. Bad hand, bad hand!!!
