Hi! Im looking for anime that surprise you because you didnt expect it to be good but it is.
As an example I kept avoiding Full Moon because I thought it was only singing or Gakuen Alice because it looked a bit childish but after I saw them I think they are really good anime. Great seiyuu and stories on the whole.

I know there are many genres and all but I would love suggestions as to watch next despite of the theme.
Ive watched a lot of anime so that is why Im looking for one that glues me to the screen.

Thank yoooou

I would have to say Cross Game. 5th Grader Ko Kitamura has a girlfriend. In his words "the cutest girl in 5th grade." He didn't ask for this girlfriend. In fact he'll insist he doesn't have one. Wakaba Tsukishima however, insists otherwise. Wakaba casually orders Ko around, instructing him to take her to her swimming class on his bike, and giving him a list of what birthday present he is to give her each year for the next ten years. Ko grumbles a bit occasionally, but he doesn't really resist. Wakaba has him wrapped around her little finger, and he is never getting free. They were born on the same day in the same hospital, and everyone agrees they are destined to be together.

Everyone except Aoba Tsukishima that is. One year younger than Wakaba, Aoba adores her older sister, and is quite jealous of Ko, and the attention Wakaba showers on him. She even declares that she hates him. However, the three of them often end up doing things together, since they are so close together in age. Though Aoba sometimes feels like a third wheel. Unlike Ko, who is pretty directionless without Wakaba telling him what to do, Aoba is dedicated to becoming an excellent baseball pitcher.

Then the first episode happens. Fast-forward three years, and we find Ko and the Tsukishima family still dealing with the repercussions. As Ko enters high school he joins the high school baseball team. As he begins to grow up he finds that getting older isn't easy.

More realistic than most sports anime, the baseball games are slow and feel like a real game. While the emotions that the characters deal with are strong, but very real and understandable.

Code Geass, I didn't think I'd like it as much as I did.

Shugo Chara, I hate really girly things and am not a fan of magical girl animes, but this one turned out to be great.

Bloody Kiss.

i thought elfen lied would be some random bloody anime but the plot and such was actually really deep and stuff. also higurashi... the first episode made it look like another basic anime but we all know how that ended up.

I'm on to mecha genre. I thought Gundam 00 would not exceed the super success of Gundam Seed and GS Destiny altogether. But I was proven wrong. The mechas were way much better and the plot is cool, though I like Seed and Destiny's plot as well. I even wished that there would be a crossover between Kira Yamato and Setsuna F. Seiei.

an Anime that has the most surprising story plot to me would have to be shuffle.
its a really nice romance but has a lot of suspense as well. Believe me you will not expect it to play put like it will. completely satisfying!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
