Baccano!

Great cast of quirky and serious characters alike. Non-linear storyline done well. Also, 1930's NYC setting with an OST to match.

Steins;Gate.

The loveable cast of characters all managed to capture my heart. The one thing I really love though is how the main character changes during the course of the story. Besides that though, the story, premise, soundtrack, and character designs are all phenomenal as well.

It's got a special place in my heart.

(Read the VN though.)

Never a dull moment, scary

I just finished SAO season 1 and started to watch season 2, but after the first two episodes I don't wanna watch more. Looking for suggestions of good animes to watch next.

I really liked the story and overall style of SAO, is there anything similar to it?

You're at the "proto-intro" stage. Don't ask for recommendations on an anime-image board. Ask normies, ask your grandma.

Code Geass

"So many plot twist, you'll lose count" -Gahndi

Code geass is full of action and intellect and i found it to be one of my favorites

Sakura Card Captors

It has cards (like in Yu-gi-oh), it has transformation (as in power rangers) and it has child porn love (like in 4chan)

Gosick. It's the only show I've dropped it twice, but I came to love it. I really enjoyed the character interactions, it had an interesting story(but a slow build-up, which was the reason I couldn't bother at first) and cute moments as well.
It had flaws but the main heroine carried the show brilliantly.

Evangelion plus the end of evangelion movie because it's the biggest most depressing piece of art ever made

Welcome to the N.H.K
A somewhat depressing story with a very flawed mc and flawed supporting characters all attempting to cope with their issues in their own way. Pretty grounded in reality and I think it was the anime that changed my opinion on what anime can be.

Looks like you've already watched it.

dude. cmon, slayers dub is just great. I mean, your comment on it being shit is mostly true, but its just great man, great. Crispen freeman dude, shit.

But really, the sub is way better.

You should mention that out of the huge amount of slayers out there that anon should watch in series order, and can ignore Revolution-evolution-R cause they kinda blew

Samurai Champloo

-it's short (26 Episodes with 20 minutes)
-it's pretty cool (if you like Cowboy Bebop or Afro Samurai then Samurai Champloo is for you)
-it's sometimes very funny
-it's sometimes incredibly sad
-badass characters
-mixes samurai history with funky hip hop tunes and has prettey decent music
