Well, even though the shows piss me off sometimes, mainly by not ending. I will have to reccomend bleach and naruto. these are both very good animes, prolly my fav, would be ALOT better if it werent for Filler episodes, i love the main storyline in both of these shows, but fillers piss me off so much, i would rather just wait for new episodes, i dont understand why they HAVE to come out with a new episode every week, you can watch both these shows on hulu, i also reccomend watching both these shows with japanese dub, with englsih subtitles, because the english voice acting in both these shows is horrible. I also have seen all episodes of both shows, so i know which 1s to skip >_< bleach is up to episode 294, and not finished, naruto is up even farther and still not finished....
anyways enough said
my fav char in bleach

It's not that messed up. I mean it's sorta a love story really. She's just trying to get back to the guy she loves and tell him she's sorry for what she did...

Blood + is ok but i think girly, Death Note is cool, Trinity blood is on my to watch list. Nothing beats Hellsing though.... Excel Saga is amusing but funny, not violent. Chibi Vampire is girly again but vampire thing :x

Extensive database of anime, basically search for a show you like and you will normally find a handful of recomendations for other shows or you can simply go through other shows by the same group/category etc.
Besides those already mentioned (cannot believe it took to page 3 to see berserk -.-), Kara no Kyoukai 1~7 and by association Shingetsutan Tsukihime are both fantastic & currently sit at the top of my most recommended list to anyone who hasn't seen. The artwork and soundtrack are second to none & both have a relatively dark plot.
Gantz (I would suggest reading the manga also, same definately goes for berserk)
Phantom
Tenjou Tenge
Kurozuka
Black Lagoon
Detroit Metal City
Sword of the Stranger (film)
Ninja Scrolls (film, musta been mentinoed but meh)
Place promised in our early days (film)
The girl who leapt through time (film)
Can't really go wrong with Ghibli movies though I though Spirited Away was dull as sin.
The new Haruhi movie is fantastic, Watching the main series would cetrainly help but the film takes a more serious aproach to a complete seperate arc so kinda works standalone still (it is epicly long and goodluck finding anything but shoddy camrip atm).
I cannot honestly recomend any "long running" anime, no matter the show the plot becomes weak and spread out with "filler" episodes, flashbacks (5mins+ of every episode) and the generic "let's show every single person presents reaction face seperately". They grate on me too much. Same is not true of their manga counterparts.
To mention a few i dont believe have been said yet:
Gintama - samurai comedy
Angel beats - semi serious/semi comedy, romance action etc.
dogs: bullets and carnage - only 4 OVAs but read the manga.
Ouran highschool host club - brilliant comedy.
Darker than black (season one) - good action.
Ef: a tale of melodies (although watch 'a tale of memories' first)
Welcome the the NHK! - comedy romance and bizare.
07-ghost - action, small comedy. Only downside, slight hints of BL
Baccano! - please watch this, its a classic.
Durarara! - same people as baccano, again, great watch.
Sword of the stranger - its a movie but pretty good, action.
Clannad/second season - comedy romance drama, good watch.
Phantom: requiem for the phantom - pretty dark action, good watch tho.
GTO (great teacher onizuka) - again, classic comedy - watch it.
Kurogane no Linebarrels - ok action, ecchi etc, psychotic lead.
Kaicho wa maid sama - great comedy romance tho a few cliches.
Seitokai Yakuindomo - stupidly funny, altho little plot.
Densetsu yuusha no densetsu - good comedy action.
Toradora! - brilliant tsundere romance comedy.
Last Exile - finish it, its just amazing imo.
Tried only to give deeper plots or pure comedy. The big suggestions are
Samurai champloo
Baccano/Durarara
Dogs
Darker than black
just finished both hellsing and hellsing ultimate and recently mushi-shi. I'm watching bit last exile but looking for some more along the hellsing / mushi line or maybe something more cerebral
