What about Tenchi Muyo!? That show rules you, and Washu rules you.

Well, NieA_7 is a series done by the same people who made Serial Experiments: Lain. I've only seen the first four episodes, but I like it so far.

If you haven't seen Cowboy Bebop, I highly recommend it.

Lessee... Bastard isn't really a series, it's a 6-ep OAV, but it's an interesting sword-and-sorcery action type with plenty of gratuitious heavy metal references.

Angel Sanctuary is pretty good if you don't mind incest-themes (no hentai; the main character is in love with his younger sister). Also, it's a 3-ep OAV, not really a series.

And, finally, Record of Lodoss War. It's a 13-ep fantasy-action series with a VERY nice storyline. My current avatar is from RoLW. Her name is Deedlit.

I have the same problem.... I'm looking for some new anime.....

But to help you: El-Hazard is one of my all time favorites.... althought it might be kinda pricy.

Every episode of Excel Saga is a parody of something. Horror films, war films, Power Ranger-style kids shows, etc. Also, the series is hyper-caffeinated and full of assorted wierdness.

The first two volumes are out on DVD. There's 26 eps of insane-goodness. It's great if you love crazy, wierd stuff.

Irresponsible Captain Tylor is good for an amusing pseudo-space drama. If you can get the digisubs, "Azumanga Daioh" is a funny series. It's based off a 4-panel comic strip, and is about 7 high school girls, their teachers, and their day to day lives. The series' strength lies in its characters and voice acting.

Let's see, Gasaraki is good if you're looking for a mecha show with a lot of drama. Betterman has sort of a Godzilla, (Gojira for those of you who insist on accuracy 8) ), vibe to it at times, but I like it so far. For comedy, you can't beat Saber Marionette J in my book.

I also second the recommendations for Excel Saga and Boogiepop Phantom. Although entirely different, both are great shows in their own right.
