I hate people who like Bleach and Naruto just as much as I hate Bronies.

Code Geyas is the most over rated anime ever.

I would like to discuss Elfin Lied. Why do fans of the anime love Lily so much? I for one could never bring myself to like her. She was a fucking psycho!

I got really swept up by three animes in the past.

Code Geass: A story of a school boys fight against a hostile nation that invaded Japan. Great story!

Stein's; Gate: A group of good for nothing scientists discover time travel more or less. After this everything goes wrong

Fate/ Stay Night: A group of mythological heroes are summoned into present day Japan where they have to fight it out for the Holy Grail. I really liked this one, but it's not as popular as the other two.

I'd put Steins; Gate as the best out of these three

Edit: Forgot Baccano

Baccano: Based in the 50s a couple different gangs attack a train with different intentions. Throw in a couple immortals, and a psycopath, and you are left with tons of fun. I had trouble following this anime at first, but near the end I was really into it

@Soleron

Your criteria are far too general for anyone to make even a educated guess. I would however recommend that you self educate yourself through a online resource like animenewsnetwork.com where you can view the synopsis's for series and movies. That way you can see in advance what series you might find intriguing. I considered making some very general safe recommendations, but I would at least need a age guideline to do so. Some material is after all inappropriate for some viewers, and I wouldn't want to recommend something too juvenile.

I like your posts in the forum solely because it's always an informed, rational opinion. These days we get too many fanboyism about petty console wars, subtle or not. And for that reason, here's my recommendation!

Legend of the Galactic Heroes ( 110 episodes - Central Anime subs )

This is an epic space opera of the highest quality regarding the age-old dillema in governance, autocracy or democracy.
