Anime Recommendations?

Funky

Looking to start watching a new series, anime I've watched and really liked recently are ones like BECK, Genshiken and Welcome to the NHK. Can anyone recommend me anything along the same lines?

Overheal

Having heard of none of those, Try Ghost in the Shell.

Burial

Yeah, I haven't heard of any of those either.... I'll go ahead and recommend Deathnote...

Kur4mA

Berserk, Blood +, Eureka 7, 12 Kingdoms (Juuni Kokki), Death Note, Black Lagoon, Trigun, Fullmetal Alchemist, Ergo Proxy, annnnd Samurai 7.

This is a good starter list. Every one of these anime is simply amazing in its own way.

Genshiken and Welcome to the NHK are better than most of whats been listed in this thread so far. I haven't seen BECK, but I can say that very little of whats been recommended is similar to these.

At a stretch, I'd say Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, and I'd definitely recommend Baccano! Also Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei and maybe Lucky Star, if it doesn't offend you.

Some of the stuff listed here is excellent, so you should check some of it out if you need something more to watch. And be sure to catch Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann if you get a chance.

I sort of know what type of genre your going for, id recommend as someone listed: Gungrave. Id also give Ergo Proxy or Paranoia Agent a watch. Thats all i cant think right off hand

Might be duplicating someone else's recommendations but;

Deathnote (comic up to a point haven't seen the manga)
Blade of the immortal (about the best manga I've read in recent years)
Anything by shirow (so Orion, ghost in the shell, appleseed, dominion etc)
Patlabor (the movies & comics)
trigun (one of my faves) both comics & cartoons
outlaw star
eh thats all i can think of at the mo'

start yourself off slowly with ghost in the shell, move to full metal alchemist and finish with bleach

cheers for the recommendations, seen alot of the usuals like Naruto/Bleach/Death Note/FMA/FMP etc. but i'll check out some of the others!

Actually watched the first couple of episodes of Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei and thought it was pretty good alright I might go back to it.

Cowboy Bebop
Code Geass R1 and R2
Read Or Die
Hellsing OVA's

These are all pretty good.

I echo recommendations of Haruhi and Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei. I really loved Welcome To The N.H.K and thought Genshiken was great too, seems like The Melancholy Of Haruhi Suzumiya is right up your alley, also have to recommend GTO, brilliant series.

Funky

good call on The Melancholy Of Haruhi Suzumiya, watched the first couple of episodes there the other night and thought it was quality!

Cowboy bebop is great. Samurai shan plu (sp?) is done by the same guys and looks great too.
