Good Anime Recommendations

Hey I know there have probably have been some other threads like this but I want to ask anyways.

So.. Does anyone have any recommendations of anime for me?
What i prefer are anime like :One Piece, Katekyo Hitman Reborn, Bleach, Fairy Tail, FullMetal Alchemist (Brotherhood)
I like anime that have special powers (Ex: One Piece has devil fruit users, KHR has attribute users(well idk how to describe it), Bleach has powers depending on the zanpakuto they have, fairy tail has magic users of different kinds )

I'm looking for awesome anime like these. If anyone knows any more anime like the ones stated above, please leave a commend and I will possibly consider it!
(yes, i am aware that i did NOT mention Naruto. I have slightly watched naruto before and i dont feel like watching it now. Not hating on it or anything)

Also, Vote bellow out of my Top 3 Favorite Anime Which on you like Best!

Edit: Haha I forgot to mention Gintama. Thanks to @malapo for reminding me. That was also and awesome anime

Also, I have watched the Fate series. Thanks for reminding me, @Omegathorion

No mecha please. LOL I dont hate on mecha, but i generally don't watch mecha-type anime

@TrisaChan: I keep watching it because well, I can watch it forever. Then manga is nowhere near ending and neither is anime. When my favorite anime of 2012 are long forgotten I'll still have Naruto to watch. It's a bit of regularity, nad i like that.

@Im2Noob: Well, to be honest, I only watched the first part of Naruto and I thought the first part was pretty good I don't know about Naruto Shippuden, and if you don't like it, why don't you stop watching? o-e I have like 3-4 Manga that I read weekly, but some of them are just dreadful, so I quit.

KHR because the other two are too mainstream.

I really enjoyed:
Whistle

Naruto
Rosario and Vampire
Rosario and Vampire Capu 2
Hikaru No Go

Truthfully though, Manga > Anime

Is Ginatama good? I'm willing to try it, it looks a lot like Bleach from the cover.
And KHR was so beast, probably the best anime I've watched.

[quote=TrisaChan]Gintama all the way. ^_______________________________^

Also, I know everyone hates this anime, but Naruto is really good. Sure, it's some mainstream crap and the art is terrible or whatnot. The storyline is actually good. I'm not talking about Naruto Shippuden because I don't really know how that's like. But Naruto is a good anime -thumbs up-[/quote]

Naruto..... good? I watch it weekly and I admit it's pretty bad. I only watch it for a feeling of regularity. Seasonal shows will debut and end but Naruto will be with me for a very very very long time.

Try Deadman Wonderland. I don't know about the anime, but the manga's limited chapters so far are quite nice.

Forget every anime other people recommend you and watch "the pollinic girls attack." It is the best anime iv'e seen, better than once piece, bleach, naruto, one piece, pokemon, DBZ, etc. It has an amazing story and every genre you could think of. It has action, adventure, comedy, romance, etc. Thank me later

@cool123ter: I think Fate/Zero is better than Fate/Stay Night in practically every way, except for Fate/Stay Night's ending. It may end up being a disappointment to watch Fate/Stay Night after Fate/Zero.

I thought Blue Exorcist was pretty good, but got lazy to finish it.
Hunter x Hunter. My friend LOVES that anime/manga. He's so obsessed with it that he tried to get everyone he knows (even if they hate anime) to watch it. xD
Code Geass. My cousin thought it was pretty good. I think it's good as well, but got too lazy to finish it. xD
