I recommend "Penguindrum" to everyone - I'm so captured into it right now, and I'm having trouble leaving the computer screen to do something else than watching it.

It is a psychological comedy with elements of romance and mystery in it - just like it sounds, it is crazy. But it is so good.
The OST is on an extremely high level of quality, and especially the openings are so catchy I've been going around humming to them all day.

The animation is absolutely gorgeous. I don't think I have watched an anime TV-series with this good animation, their budget must have been great.

I am watching it english dubbed, and the main cast consists of Emily Neves (known for doing Kotomi from Clannad), Illich Guardiola (known for doing Yoshino from Clannad), Monica Rial (one of the most used voices of dubbed anime) and Blake Shepard (known for his many main roles in comedy anime). Other people on the cast include David Matranga and Maggie Flecknoe, so the dubbing cast is pretty awesome.

Overall it is such a mind-fuck, and the craziness have reached a point where I no longer believe it possibly can be explained in the remaining six episodes. This is not a bad thing at all, it just shows how deep the show is.
I am so impressed by it. And I think everyone should give it a try - it kinda suits everyone in a way, I think.

Now that school is out for the summer, I was thinking of starting a new anime. All the one's I've already watched or are thinking of watching are here (thanks Jompa), but I was wondering which you guys would recommend first

Clannad is an awesome romance anime

Good. I'm in the mood for one of those. Thanks

Penguindrum is a great example of how a show should be:
Regardless of the story, a show should capture the viewer completely. As long as it does that nothing else matters.
As one watches Penguindrum, everything that is going on seems interesting.
When one finishes Penguindrum, there aren't any negative feelings left. And one doesn't even feel sad about it being over.
It doesn't leave anything with the viewer, making the show nothing more than completely enjoyable. As I said, this is in my opinion how a great show should be like.
To put this into perspective:
Penguindrum is literally nothing more than 13 hours of time used. But, time well spent!

I'll probably never want to talk about Penguindrum again, which I think is weird and kinda cool, because it is one of the best shows I've ever watched
As a ranking I'll give Mawaru Penguindrum the score 10/10.

If someone wants to watch something similar to FMA I'd recommend D.Gray-man. It gave me FMA feels.

I find them pretty different, but both are worth watching. D.Gray-man got some of favorite characters in it at least, all on the evil side ^^
