A list of anime series I personally found to have good content and an interesting storyline, preferably the lesser known series. Look for the genres and aspects you are looking for in an anime show and you are sure to find a really good new series to check out. Personal comments on the show will be in parenthesis.
The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya (With beautiful artwork, animation, music, and characters, this is a fun and addictive series that will have you wanting more, no matter how strange or crazy it may get. ^_^)
Marmalade Boy (All the aspects of a real-life shoujo romance anime you'll ever need: unrequited love, love triangles and all that good shoujo drama and comedy. ^_^)
Kannazuki no Miko (Hints some shoujo-ai, but with unique characters, enchanting music, beatutiful artwork with some mecha action.)
Magic User's Club (Mahou Tsukai Tai)
(Magic spells, crazy comedy, fanservice moments, and some shounen-ai hints just for the hell of it. ^_^)
