If you finished watching Pandora Hearts, you should read the manga! it gets better and explains a lot of the things not explained in the anime!

Steins Gate - This is about time travel and the butterfly effect. It lets you see how much of a difference in the world a single action can make. It has a lot of action and some romance. It was one of the only anime that made me cry more than once. It’s my current favorite series.

Madoka Magica - Magical girls that turn evil to work against the second law of thermodynamics. It contains magic, time-travel, violence, and mystery. It is much more than it first seems and definitely worth watching.

Paranoia Agent - Obsession taking over people and causing them to go insane. The art is a little lacking but this has one of the best plots of any anime I have seen.

Higashi no Eden - This series features a male protagonist whose goal is to fix his country. It's action packed!

Requiem for the Phantom - It is a very dark, sad, action, thriller anime with a hint of romance. It follows a Japanese tourist who is abducted and is turned into an assassin. the show never lacks any action, and is very exciting.

Darker than Black - A futuristic world where people have powers and no emotions. It focuses on contractors and a mysterious wall that separates the urban setting from the outside world.

Pandora Hearts - A really dark anime. It deals with something from another world. Alice gives Oz a power that she has in a demon contract.

Ao no exorcist - This one is packed with action. It is about the son of satan, raised by a human priest who finds out when he is a teenager who he really is. He has crazy demonic blue fire powers.

Death Note - Being able to murder simply by writing a name in a book. It is a psychological thriller for anyone. It has some very likable characters, L being my favorite anime character.

Trinity Blood - This anime deals with violent politics and empires and nobles and such in violent and super natural wars.

Hellsing - This is definitely the best of the vampire animes!

Clannad - It's really emotional and powerful. There's two season. Clannad After Story which is rated quite highly.

Kaiji - Its about a guy who uses clever tricks to get out of debt from gangsters. Similar to One Outs.

Mrai Nikki - A survival game in which the competitors can have future diaries. It contains a crazy girl and a protagonist who undergoes a huge transformation.

Zero No Tsukaima - This an anime about a teenage boy that travels to another world filled with magic. He is somehow mysteriously summoned by a young girl as her familiar pet, and has to fight as her slave.

Angel Beats - People who have died learning to give up their past regrets. I love the main character because of his apathetic yet rebellious attitude. A great, touching story. It is a lot more complex than most school life anime.

Code Geass - A guy who uses his power to control people to protect his handicapped sister and launch a rebellion

Guilty Crown - this is a pretty action packed anime. It's new so the animation is top notch. It's about an apathetic kid who becomes powerful and saves the world from destruction using the power of DNA introns.

Elfen Lied - Lots of death and dark storylines, characters that arent who they appear to be to other characters in the series, great music.

Monster - A neurosurgeon saves the life of a child who becomes a serial killer

Serial Experiments Lain

Definitely try ''Elfen Lied''

It's really violent, contains a lot of blood and gore.

It's really popular for it's violency, but I the story line was also a really touching one. I cried a lot while watching it! Elfen Lied is definitely one of my favorites, even though I usually don't want anything bloody & gore... I strongly recommend this !
