List of good anime!

I don't see how you can be critical of Elfen Lied's story and mention Trinity Blood as being better. It's been ages since I saw those shows but I was left feeling indifferent about Trinity (specifically with the story and ending) while I enjoyed Elfen. Different strokes I guess.

I would add:

Cowboy Bebop
Michiko to Hatchin
Erased
AnoHana
Haikyuu
Speed Grapher
Ouran Host Club
Psycho Pass

Because Trinity Bloody and Elfen Lied both set up interesting plot lines...and then unceremoniously end. Also both shows are obviously on the gorier/bloodier side. Trinity Blood has Vampires, something other than vampires and a Victorian Gothic mixed setting with at least one interesting plot twist and lots of good CGI/animation mixed fights. Elven Song has Nyuu and bony cat ears on a couple of other girls (and there was one guy I think though he doesn't have invisible murder tentacles?).

Note I'm not saying Trinity Blood is good and belongs here, at least not with that ending, but Krznik > Diclonius.

And if you like it - give Ladies VS Butlers a try too
 
a nice short anime you can watch is One Piece
Def recommend FMA Brotherhood
Trigun is very good
Last anime I watched was One Punch Man and Histories Strongest Disciple
Not to updated with the latest shows

It was a nice and short watch "18945 Minutes of non stop watching one piece (excluding cross-overs)"
 
Boku no pico is pretty excellent too , has a lot of sword fighting 😇 😉
 
A few I enjoyed which haven't been listed:

Ergo Proxy (my absolute favorite opening theme)
Monster
Lelouche of the rebellion
Eden of the East

P.S, if you find yourself not liking anime because the pace is slow... you most likely wont like any of those.

Ahh, I gotcha. I should give Elfen Lied a rewatch but it was pretty heavy and I don't think I can stomach it again. I do remember loving it despite that and it does seem to be a polarising show.
 
I will throw in my two cents:
- Sword Art Online (Surprised that no one else had mentioned this)
- Parasyte the Maxim
- Shiki
- Ajin

I am also looking for suggestions of really good horror animes from those who have watched them. So far, aside from the obvious Tokyo Ghoul, Attack on Titan (Horror? I dunno) and Deadman Wonderland I have also really enjoyed Another. Looking for more of a similar vein to Another and Tokyo Ghoul though. Suggestions? :)

Muv Luv - you will love it
Umineko no Naku Koro ni
Higurashi no Naku Koro ni
Corpse party

Champloo was amazing - if you have tihe movie please watch the sword of the stranger, (im not a fan of fairytail it feels too copy pasted for my tastes )

Guys Watch Golden Boy ^^

Golden boy - Ecchi - Slice of lifeish
Sword of the stranger - Will have a few genres but its truly a work of art (the fight scenes are very technical similar to Cowboy Bebop)

you cannot call yourself an anime fan and not have recommended the best anime to at least one other oblivious soul . Its an unwritten rule
