What should I watch?

yayayaya IK I and like 50,000 other people have posted asking this, and it's all on personal preference, but I would some recommendations on what to watch.
Idm if it's anime, i've seen many animes (most of the good ones) (Elfen Lied, School days, Mirai Nikki) and stuff like that. It doesn't have to be anime though. I just recently finished watching BoonDocks, (which is hilarious). And so, I would like some recommendations from you, Basilers, on what I should try to start watching. I like comedy, bit of mystery, MAYBE a bit of romantico, and a bit of action.

@DavidRocha You should try out Steins;Gate, might be a bit boring at first, but gets very interesting 5 episodes in, and its about 25 eps in total, also check out Btoom! a very good thriller.

@whotookmycookie
Kaichou wa dyke sama? NTY. ouran high school club looks like a bunch of pretty boys just for the ladies, I watched a few episodes of Angel Beats. I wasn't excited to watch the next one, so I stopped. And you should definately try watching Clannad, sooo dam good. Don't even look at SAO, overhyped trash.
@milkocha I've seen all of those animes except Zetzuen No Tempest (watch 2 episodes, didn't like how the story was going). I've heard about Black Butler, never seen it, might give it a go now.
@Snovvy Seen it, few times. Great movie.
@pinoymystic I saw 1 episode, seemed a bit too.. IDK Childish? But i've only seen 1 episode, it may be a good anime. Might get around to watching it soon.
@CreamyMilkV4 Ya, i've seen all the Fridays, funny as I might try watching some more hood movies, I enjoyed boondocks ALOT.
@irule134 I'm like 60 episodes behind on One piece, I seriously CANNOT handle watching anymore T_T got so boring after the war. Gurren laggen was good, fail ending though, had good potential. SAO is trashcan please don't say anything about that in this post.
@Snovvy Ya I looked at the description for that anime, looks very appealing, i'll give it a go soon.
@Segumisama I watched the first episode (the first two minutes) and the old dude is telling a story I think? Yah, i'm not watching that. Also, it looks really old and.. yeah. It's old.

Everyone says the same BS on Basil.

If you want recommendations tailored to your taste, use MAL/ANN search functions.

Black Butler, Deadman Wonderland, Death Note, Zetsuen no Tempest, and Highschool of Dead (has the same feeling as the 3 animes you've listed)

comedy romances: kaichou wa maid sama, ouran high school host club, special A, boys over flowers

adventure/comedy/action: angel beats <3 <-- i highly recommend this one. this one was just AMAZING.

People recommend ME: clannad, steinsgate, death note, full metal alchemist, black butler, sword art online

oh yeah and also my first ever anime: Chobits - i guess its kinda romantic comedy but not much romance imo

*i will keep adding more to this cause i need to think about all the ones people recommended me but i havent got to watching yet*
