My anime reccomendations. I love all of these anime very much.

Action:

Neon Genesis Evangelion + End of Evangelion: Probably the most important anime ever. Much beloved and much despised for its ending. You literally can't watch it legally so you will have to pirate. After you finish the 26 episodes there is a flim that is a must watch, End of Evangelion. Avoid the rebuild films.

Attack on Titan-The first two seasons are out and the third season comes out this year. The action is fast and smooth and if you like monty's work then you will like these action scenes.

Pyscho Pass- There are two seasons but I haven't seen the second season because the second season is heavily criticized. After a couple of establishing episodes the anime heads into a bunch of one off monster of the week episodes but stick with it because it picks up before the second half starts. The first season is only 22 episodes and it is really great if you are looking for some deep intellectual anime.

Code Geass- Very plot heavy with tons of cliffhangers. There is literally a cliffhanger at the end of 97% of episodes so if you don't like cliffhangers don't touch this anime with a ten foot pole. The first seson is called R1 and the second one is called R2. Avoid the rebuild films.

FMA 2003 + FMA Brotherhood- You should watch both but watch FMA 2003 first. There are 3 chapters of the manga that are in FMA 2003 that aren't in Brotherhood but FMA 2003 also doesn't cover half the manga. Also, Brotherhood has a terrible first 14 episodes along with perhaps the worst first episode of anime ever and it is a bigger time comittment. Brotherhood was made with the idea that you have already seen FMA 2003 so just watch FMA 2003 first and then you can watch Brotherhood afterwards. Also these two anime have the best dub ever. Even if you are a dub hater you should still watch the dub. The only anime with a better dub is Cowboy Bepop.

Magical girl genre/plot heavy:

Madoka Magica- It is only 12 episodes so it isn't a huge commitment and it is one of the most tightly paced stories ever told. Fair warning, it is plot heavy and moves very fast but thats why people love it. I liked the dub a lot but the dub gets mixed receptions. There is also a very good movie that works as a sequal but you don't need to watch the movie to get a satifying ending.

non-anime reccomendations:

Avatar the last Airbender. The first season is garbage but the second and third seasons are amazing. It is a pretty big time comittment but most people who watch it end up bingeing and watching 3 seasons in 3 days. Even though it is labeled a "cartoon" it has a plot better than most anime. Legend of Korra is all over the place but if you liked Avatar and want more then I reccomend the first two seasons of Korra. After that things go downhill and Nickelodeon didn't even release the last season to television, only on the internet because everybody making it just stopped caring about their work.
