New to anime

Hi guys, I'm new to anime and are having difficulties finding good ones. So far I enjoyed series such as Chobits, High School Host Club and Shuffle!.

Any suggestions what I should watch next?

it's best you not ask that here....

If you liked romance (and from the sound of it, you liked Ouran High School Host Club), then you should go with School Days.  It's only 12 episodes but its cute and pretty uplifting

Boku No Pico.
It's a deep analogy about love.

OP here, anything with some comedy in it as well? It doesn't have to be all romance. Thanks for the suggestions so far. I will check them out for sure!

>>4 is troll. Boku no Pico and Kodomo no Jikan are two pedophile trapcards that trolls here for some reason find amusing to post.

I'll give you some real recommendations.

But before anything, since you like Ouran HSHC... hmmm... I didn't watched Ouran myself, but I hear it's very close to (and the [strike]butchering[/strike] inspiration source of) The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya. If want to watch Haruhi, watch everything in the 2009 (chronological) order indicated here:
https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/List_of_The_Melancholy_of_Haruhi_Suzumiya_episodes#2009_version
(Some people will disagree with this, but don't listen to them -- if you haven't read the novels and you want character development to make sense, watch them in this order. If you can't bothered to watch one episode 8 times, then by all means, skip the Endless Eight "arc".)

Most anime you listed are romance/comedy harems. I respect that you liked them, but generally I dislike them and I think you might change your opinion when you watch somewhat different series (or at least broaden your horizon as a newb and like other things as well).

For example, if you'd like romance mixed with awesome action (in an awesome way) with awesome music, try out Macross Frontier.

If you're really into harems, you can try out the three staple Key titles: Clannad, Air and Kanon 2006. They are from Visual Novels by the company "Key", and are usually called "crying games" because they rely on making the viewer/player cry a lot in emotional scenes.

*Continued*

Saged my post out of habit. Here's a bump this time.

Here are some picks, categorized by genre or theme. (I know too many awesome ones to pick from, so if I have omitted any, it's not because I don't like it; just being too lazy.)

Mecha (Mecha == anime jargon for "super robots"):
- Code Geass (highly melodramatic, epic action, some ecchi comedy -- must watch)
- FLCL
- Gurren Lagann

Awesome VN adaptions:
- Fate/Stay Night
- STEINS;GATE

Dark-toned:
- Evangelion
- Gantz
- Deadman Wonderland

Guro (Guro == tons of blood and gore mixed with sexuality):
- Elfen Lied

Slice of Life (actually decent ones, not moeblob/plague/cancer):
- Aria
- BECK

Cancer (... ones that I have enjoyed):
- K-On At least the idea... and the first season. It's very adorable, but be prepared for brain damage.
- Ore no Imouto Deal with it. Yeah, it's cancer.

kare kano

one of the best romances imo

Cromartie High School, it's a high school slice of life comedy, everyone should watch that. Go for the dub, this is the rare case in which the dub is actually better.

You are my hero, not so many people watched that one.

Azumanga Daioh, I believe it is legally required to watch it if you post on 4chan.

Emma: A Victorian Romance is very good. :D I recommend Fruits Basket as well. Code Geass and Death Note are very good as well.
