Lots of folks were quite happy about FMA: Brotherhood - apparently its a lot more true to the original manga's storyline
i remember watching the original series, felt a bit dragged out imoFMA: Brotherhood is in my anime backlog
One series i'm really enjoying is Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magika. Definitely not what I thought it was going to be, which got me hooked on the series. Really hope that the remaining episodes get broadcast at the end of the month!

Yeah, 2 more episodes from what I've heard. Hoping that they've more or less stuck to the original script (i have a feeling the episodes had to be changed due to a tsunami reference)
Just in time for my leave, can't wait!!!I have good news for you then. The final episodes resume broadcast on 21 April
But also considered a very good watch.I'd recommend Deadman Wonderland straight off the bat - the first episode was made of several levels of epic. Blue Exorcist also looks quite interesting.
Hanasaku Iroha has managed to turn from one of those anime you could watch with grandma into ... well ... not sure, but the third episode really upped the fanservice levels. Drool-levels on the associated 2-chan channel have shot up, by all accounts. But I expect it will stay fairly mild. Nako has scored herself a lot of new fans though.
Astarotte no Omocha seems to be the loli anime to watch for this season, and Nichijou has been getting some fairly good reaction - flaky school-life comedy which has been scoring quite a few laughs.
Anyways, moving away from the latest release cycle, and taking a glance at the shows you mentioned - here are a couple of recs you may want to look at:
Higurashi no Naku Koro ni - psychological thriller type - but very mixed. Plot goes in short arcs, starting off all bright and shiny and ending quite brutally. Effect of the violence is probably multiplied by the setting. It's very twisty, so you'll have to watch both seasons to understand - but it all makes sense in the end ... I think
Sekirei - I seem to be recommending this one a lot lately. Ecchi-action of note. Fun to watch though. Two seasons to date - I'm expecting at least a third.
Shiki - Another dark thriller type with vampires. Scored itself a bunch of pretty decent reviews last year.
Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 - This one is pure drama - considering recent events in Japan it's almost predictive
Soul Eater - It's got a very wacky setting, but it turned into one of those series that I had a hard time putting down. It's got 4 introductory episodes for each of the main characters, and the story proper starts after that.
This could end up turning into a very long list. But start with those so long and see what you think
Maybe try Black Lagoon?

Higurashi: that series made me feel sick after every episode, not for the faint of heart.
Soul Eater: I enjoyed that, good mix of comedy and action
Nichijou: Only managed to watch half an episode, feels like a wacky version of Lucky Star
@Fast, how old is old school for you? Also, genre? No point in recommending "K-ON!" if you're not into school-girl anime
I'll be sure to check out the ones you recommend
