What anime should I watch next?

I'm really craving a new anime right now and all suggestions are welcome. I like both shounen and shoujo anime equally. Although, if possible, I'd prefer if you didn't recommend something I've already seen.

Thanks :D

    Here are some recommendations.

    These are all exciting and violent but also complex and plot driven. I've put them in order of how much I like them, so you don't have to read them all. If you have any questions about them, send me a message. The numbers skip where I excluded an anime that you've already seen.

    1. 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.

    2. 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.

    3. 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.

    4. Fate/zero - The main character is pretty cold, tactical, smart, and will do anything to win. It's action packed and quite complex.

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

    9. 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.

    11. 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.

    12. Mirai 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.

    13. Cowboy Bebop - Classic through and through. It is very funny and filled with action to boot. The different planets are really nifty settings. Everyone should give it a chance.

    14. 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.

    15. 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.

    16. Kuroshitsuji - About a contract between a British heir to a toy company and a demon. It has lots of action and mystery elements.

    17. Gurren Laggan - this involves people who escape from an underground world to fight strange earth dwelling creatures. It's mecha but much different that traditional action based anime. Pretty cool overall!

    21. Durarara- It's about a teen who moves to Japan and get's involved in Tokyo's shady underground.

    22. 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.

    23. 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.

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

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

    28. Nabari No Ou - this is a ninja anime but it is focussed on an apathetic kid with hidden powers. It also highlights his relationship with another guy who is at first his enemy. A nice little story!

    Hope you like them! :)
