yu yu is fun to watch but not the kind of anime that makes you feel fascinated. Try Rozen Maiden, if you don't like it you probably not into anime.
other suggestions:
Glass Mask (2005 latest remake)
Cowboy Bebop
K-on (don't listen to haters, K-on is actually good)
Cardcaptor Sakura

You can never suggest an anime, and then say "if you don't like you're probably not into anime."
It just doesn't work, since anime has countless genres and styles, you have to try all of it before you swear off anime.

Start off with Jungle wa Itsumo Hale nochi Guu(1st season), imo. You'll get the feel of how anime is, by watching that.
Lucky star, The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, and Naruto all are pretty good animes.

Any movie by director Hayao Miyazaki. Academy Award winning Spirited Away is probably a safe bet.

Detroit Metal City (o shit this is fuckin hilarious)
Dennou Coil
Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei (you probly wont understand shit)
Anime is just a medium, you can't call it 'bad' or 'good'.
You don't say something like "I don't like music".
There are some good anime, and a lot of shit things as well.
It kind of depends on what you're looking for. Some of the quality anime I like are 'Spice and Wolf' and 'Clannad'.
THE FACT THAT JAPANESE ANIMATION IS SO EASILY IDENTIFIABLE SHOWS HOW SEVERELY LIMITED AND GENERIC IT IS.

The fact that American cartoons are so easily identifiable shows how much Westerners suck at caricaturizing themselves. A lot of Japanese people do have bigger, rounder eyes on average than most other Asian people, and the majority of anime is a shit-load more realistic than stupid, screaming, violent American media in general. I suggest you watch Kerberos or GTO instead of Digimon and other fantastical kid shit before trying to juxtapose "all" anime against anything American that you consider "avant-garde."

They've made it to holding hands, but they're still so polite to each other
I wonder if they'll be polite during sex, too?
Train: "I'm going to put it in, if you don't mind?"
Herm: "No, not at all."
Train: "Are you enjoying yourself?"
Herm: "Yes, very much. Ahaha *laughs*"
Train: "I think I'm going to come."
Herm: "Yes, please do."
It's like how royalty has sex.
