I'll just list a bunch of anime if anyone is curious to watch them (i'll try to include some details on genre)
ONE PIECE (shounen/action/adventure) best anime point blank period IMO. Japanese sales agree with me. (not at all obvious by my tag and avatar
) Oh and if you only watch dubbed anime and hate it because of watching it on Cartoon Network when it aired years back please do me a favor and rewatch the newer funimation dub (which is on Toonami now) because 4kids did a horrible job!
Yu Yu Hakusho (action) - classic
DBZ (action) - classic
Naruto (action) - pretty good until recently :/
Bleach (action) - not counting anything past Aizen.
Code Geass (action/mech/drama) - Spectacular
Hunter x Hunter 2011 version (action/adventure) - Wonderful and still ongoing
Attack on Titan (dark/action/drama) - Good if you like action and don't mind dark stuff, ongoing.
Steins;Gate (Science/Mystery/Drama) - Great plot development/twists
Death Note (Dark/Drama/Suspense) - L and Light make the show as the two main characters.
Inuyasha - (Action) - Classic.
Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood (Action/Drama/etc) - Watch this if you have to pick between it and the original, sticks closer to the anime and is longer than your typical 25-26 anime but not as long as some popular shounens ie One Piece, Bleach, Naruto. Has everything.
History's Strongest Disciple Kenichi (Action) - Anime is short but still good, manga ongoing.
Soul Eater (Action/Darkish) - Anime over but manga ongoing I believe
Blue Excorcist (Action) - Anime over but manga ongoing
School Rumble (Comedy/Romance) - Hilarious love triangle show
Ouran High School Host Club (Comedy) - Takes a while to get into but really funny!
Fruits Basket (Slice of life/comedy) - My wife's personal favorite (not that guys can't enjoy it) INB4 your wife likes anime? Yes she's awesome.
Fairy Tail (action) - pretty straightforward shounen especially with plot, but if you enjoy that it's not bad.
Trigun (action/drama) - Classic.
Sword Art Online (Action/Drama/Romance) - 1st arc is REALLY good second one is pretty good since there's not as much action, ongoing.
Special A (comedy/romancish) - pretty funny
Rurouni Kenshin (action/drama) - classic
That's all I can think of at the moment.
