These are some of my likes and why:
Baccano!- Its been mentioned a few times, its just highly entertaining and its easy to enjoy.
Galaxy Railways- Can I be honest, I only watched this series for the con I saw it at Laura Bailey bust out luaghing at the line "This is Captain Bulge of the Big One requesting permission to pull in from the rear," and yes thats roughly the real line. Its interesting and set aboard a train, I like trains
Fate/Stay Night- I liked the story line and its random crossovers to mythology and history. It was entertaining and was a good mix of story and fighting to me.
Gravitation- Let me say I'm a pretty heterosexual guy and like this. The comedy is high and laugh a minute. It was a fun little series a girl I dated in high school showed me and I just sort of ran with it to the end as its hilarious if you can deal with the *scratches head for the word* male to male interest that isn't the y word. There is nothing horribly graphic, most things are implied with maybe one highly implied scene.
Cowboy Bebop- My all time favorite. The music is amazing and was perhaps the first time I cried while watching an anime. The story is AMAZING and the characters are deep. Each on gets some depth shined on them. By the end of the series I was not ready for it to end and I felt connected to the characters. The ending was brilliant with the simple word "Bang..."
.hack//sign- I love it and will always adore it. When I was younger it seemed like the best anime ever. Coming away from it I still love it, but it can't hold my top spot with Bebop. Some of the story just seemed so out of it with several episodes being a recount of the last episode from another perspective.
Ouran Host Club- This series is just fun and light hearted. Very comedic and interesting. Again if you are strictly opposed to homosexual relationships the twins will make you dislike the series, however it again is nothing graphic. The entire series is supposed to be spoofy on yaoi characters i.e. You have a book worm, a younger boy that is supposed to be cute, the tough guy and then the "twincest." As said you have to have an open mind to get into it, but its hilarious.
Soul Eater- LOVED IT. Stein, Kid and Excalibur made this series for me. Regardless of the title the series isn't a focus on one character, but it covers most of them fairly equally. No random warnings on this one, a good mix of comedy and action to be sure. Can't wait for the second season, though it may not be as good >.>
Descendants of Darkness- The overtones of homosexual relationships may be over powering for some. This one is a bit more graphic in those regards, but the series is very interesting in how it operates. The stories are a mix of humor and seriousness. If you're mature enough that you're not uncomfortable with the relationships in this series its amazingly deep.
Speed Grapher- Very interesting series with an odd assortment of special abilities. Its really hard to describe what makes this series so appealing as the plot comes together in just a very masterful way.
Full Metal Alchemist- Another LOVE of mine. The story behind the brothers was great, the way they depend on each other and work off each other is amazing. Have to admit Hughes is one of my all time favorite characters and made me cry during episode 25 Death of a Hero. Roy is another amazing character *coughminiskirtarmycough* hes that bad guy that you can't help but love. He does have to play a bit of a "villainous" role, but you still like him at the end(in regards to how he is viewed by Gracia after episode 25). The ending was good, but I will admit I didn't care much for Shamballa as it seemed to mess up a great ending for me. I have watched a bit of Brotherhood and liked what I have seen thus far.
As a disclaimer I'm neither for or against same gender relations in anime, I do however recognize it is offensive to some, neutral to others and a thing of glee to a third group of rabid fangirls. I only mention it in the descriptions is that if it is something you can't stand you should not pick it up. As mentioned only one series is graphic in portrayal so for those who can bear with hints, but not scenes you were warned.
