Wow nice list, though most of them are more dystopian/cyberpunk than steampunk.

I want to watch something that just gives off a chill vibe. I don't really care for romance

list
nichijou/nichibros
ika musume
minami-ke
sora no method
girlfriend(kari)
softenni
clannad/as
ichigo mashmaro(?)
yuru yuri

Aria series. Animation > Natural > Arietta > Origination is the order.

If you enjoyed them, Avvenire is coming up this year.

If you want something slowly-paced that's also really emotional and well-written, Haibane Renmei or Mushishi. They're less on the comedy side of things but still really charming.

For something similar to what you listed, Non Non Biyori.
Green Platinum
Wants stuff like Girlfriend(Kari) but dropped stuff like Aria... I don't think they will like Haibane Renmei Mogsworth, but everyone should atleast attempt Mushishi imo.

Was the mermaid show you dropped Seto no Hanayome because it is so much better than the stuff like Softenni. Although now I am thinking it's Namiuchugiwa no Muromi-san despite that show being hilarious too.

Try out:
Hidamari Sketch
Azumanga Daioh
Bamboo Blade
Bungaku Shoujo (OVAs+ Movie)
Denpa onna to seishun otoko
Maria-sama ga miteru (tho the art can be repulsive to some)
Arakawa under the bridge

Looking for drama with girls / red eyes. (Same thing as Elfen Lied) anything ?
The Gambler
Looking for:

Classic romance anime that isn't a romantic comedy, shoujo chick flick, running gag with a harem anime or a last minute add-on to another genre of anime.

EDIT: Also not some uber-condensed VN or eroge of some sort. Omnibus is also preferable but not required.
karlabos
^ That sounds interesting. I too am looking for this =p

Also I'm looking for animes which are not comedy or at least no entirely comedy which have yandere characters on it? Preferably main characters.
Any suggestions?

Try not watching anime. Unless you want to search through Jousei titles.

I don't even think a non-VN/Eroge omnibus anime even exists. Those are always super condensed too.

Yanderes nearly always make stuff a complete joke. Unless you are in the line of thought that believes Mirai Nikki to be a deep and heartbreaking love story.

Does anyone know of an Anime a bit like Arslan Senki or Kingdom?

I would like the anime to be set in the Medievalish ages ( you know swords, kings, castles etc. )
with a bit of Romance also ( both of the anime's I have mentioned lacked it, but never the less I liked them )
I would preffer if the MC was a Male, and he started with nothing and then grew to become a knight or he
was a king of an country that got taken over and he is on he's way to get it back.

Thank you. ;)

For a response to a joking request this actually piqued my interest. Definitely going to look into this. Thanks.

On a more serious note, any anime that features real life WWII aircraft participating in dogfights, preferably one with British Hurricanes and Spitfires getting plentiful love and screen time? Closest I found was the Cockpit but that seems to have some axis bias going for it as far as I've seen.

Castrate. Avoid SAO at all cost unless you want to gouge your eyes.

But I just said that I want to gouge my eyes out; is it at least bearable?

SAO isn't that bad, it's just if someone recommends it or says it's a good romance or it's original. A giant red flag.

-Ano Hi Mita Hana no Namae wo Bokutachi wa Mada Shiranai
-Clannad

Robotics Notes. Play/read the Chaos;Head visual novel if you can.
Depressing/sad storyline hmm.. Welcome to the NHK talks about some serious topics of life, sometimes while being funny and sometimes while being serious. I found Gunslinger Girl sad. Maybe you would like a movie such as Hotarubi no Mori e?

Stuck in a slump at the moment and have no idea what to watch anymore.
Anyone have an suggestions for something along the lines of:

Bokura Wa Minna Kawaisou
Barakamon
Bakuman
Nagi No Asukara

Good slice of life anime - (Romance pref, but not necessary)

Either that or something like:

Shokugeki no Soma
Mondaiji-Tachi
No Game, No life
Dungeon ni deai wo motomeru
Baby Steps
Hagure Yuusha no Aesthetica

Where the main character is either OP or starts off useless/average then becomes OP.

If I was being really picky - Would be preferable if it weren't too old or y'know, looks like the graphics were designed by an 7 year old using paint shop pro.

A mystery sort of series except with a doctor. These OVAs feature the best episodes, Young Black Jack starts next season too. Some episodes lead into supernatural solutions which is a huge letdown but that is in the minority.
