Quote:
- Silent Mobius: Sci-fi anime with a comparable atmosphere to Blade Runner. It's about a police force, the Attacked Mystification Police, who battle these demons called Lucifer Hawks hailing from a realm known as Nemesis.
- Elfen Lied: My personal favorite. It follows the story of a creature known as a Diclonius (a human with horns) named Lucy, who falls into the hands of a young man, Kohta, and his cousin, Yuka. All hell ensues, however, as Lucy is "Mitochondrial Eve."
- Tsukuyomi Moonphase (Or Moonphase, simply): This is a comedy/supernatural anime that follows the antics of a young vampire named Hazuki, who "enslaves" a young photographer named Kouhei, a powerful shinto sorcerer. ( His powers are dormant in the first half of the series, however).
- Karin: A vampire comedy about a young vampiress named Karin, who, instead of consuming blood, has outlandishly bad nosebleeds. There's more to the series, though, but you'll have to watch it to find out.
-Onegai Teacher (Please Teacher): As dirty as the name sounds, no, this is not Hentai. It's a sweet story about a teacher named Mizuho, who is actually a half-alien, marrying a student named Kei because he knows her secret. It was an impromptu event, and Mizuho was facing losing her job at the school, so Kei lied and said he was her husband to keep her secret a secret, and to save her job.
- Mahoromatic: This series follows the life of an android named Mahoro, who is a retired military weapon. She stepped down from military service to live her life as... a maid. It's a pretty perverted anime, but it's full of laughs. And it's got a bittersweet ending.
- Shingetsutan Tsukihime (Lunar Legend Tsukihime): This story follows a young vampire woman named Arcueid Brunestud, who is murdered by a young teenager named Shiki Tono. Shiki possesses the "eyes of death" and has the ability to see lines, which, if he chooses to trace them with his finger or an object, can result into the utter destruction of the person/object. It's yet another bittersweet romance story with a, in my opinion, gut-twisting ending.
-Fate/Stay Night: This particular anime is about a war known as "The War of the Holy Grail", which sorcerers and sorceresses alike have been fighting for centuries; their goal, to acquire the Holy Grail and have all their wishes granted. These Sorcerers and Sorceresses, however, do not fight amongst themselves. They use spirits of heroes and villains, such as Medusa and Cúchulainn. In this war, Shirō Emiya, accidentally summons the most powerful spirit available to wield--a strange British woman named Saber--and together, they go to war, eventually falling in love. This anime, too, has a sad ending.
That's just a few off the top of my head, however. I'd be glad to PM you more titles in any case you're interested to watch more anime. Providing it tickles your fancy.

Kiki's Delivery Service
A coming-of-age story of a young witch who must leave her home for the first time.
Afro Samurai
Really violent, kickass story of a guy whose father has The Crest of the One (something like that), meaning he's the best samurai in the land. His father is killed and he goes on a quest for vengeance to reclaim the title of the One.
I've heard good things about Spirited Away as well.
Thanks for the lists guys, I've got some new things to watch.
