Dusk Maiden of Amnesia is not that dramatic.
Green Platinum
Neither is LL, K-On!, Sakurasou, Fairy tail, Naruto or One Piece.

Looking for a mecha anime. I tend to like flashier looking ones. Favourites include Gundam 00, Valvrave the Liberator and Gundam SEED/Destiny. English dub would be nice but not necessary.
Heard Knights of Sidonia's good - anyone seen it? Outside of that, any recommendations?

Thanks!
Navizel
Bokurano? Might not be that kind of mecha you're looking for.
Green Platinum
Isn't Macross generally flashier than Gundam?

No mention of Guren Lagann or Full Metal Panic?
Kanazuki no Miko for the yuri and lols
Navizel
Usually I tend to not recommend popular ones because chances are people have seen it already.

Looks very different as to what I usually watch. Worth looking into. =)

I watched Macross Frontier if that's what you were referring to - I didn't have a huge problem with it.
Full Metal Panic was extremely boring to me.

I find mecha shows to be super boring in general.
For FMP if you remove the mechs you get Fumoffu which is still one of the funniest animes to date.

I know a few people that can't stand mecha either. So to each their own. ;)

Still taking suggestions if anyone has anymore.
Green Platinum
I find mach shows to be especially shallow. Fixated on metal robot fighting fanservice than capturing any themes or ideas. And then it falls into the trappings of most fight scenes where it becomes shooting flashy attacks at the opponent till the plot demands a side to lose.
Navizel
Gunbuster/Diebuster is another if you haven't yet @Justy

In the 'Guy helps a bunch of girls with their problems' way
or the 'Tragic high school romance' way?

Already seen it. Liked the animation and audio, story was very meh.

Build Fighters I considered. Evangelion I'm not really interested in.
Green Platinum
I'd recommend Evangelion just on cultural importance, I don't think it is as amazing as people say like just like Lain.

Build Fighters just feels like a modern Crush Gear turbo or Beyblade.

I've actually had a few people recently suggest Evangelion so I might have to check it out. None of them said it was mindblowingly amazing though so I guess you all think of it pretty equally.

Honestly, when I read a short intro for Build Fighters and it sounded like a Beyblade type thing. Which is pretty much the reason I'm 'considering' it still.
Raiken-
The first season is really nice, in my opinion.
The second season is kinda weird, Gundam + Martial Arts.

Can anyone recommend me some anime that is romantic and if possible that the environment is a school, pls ?
Green Platinum
Toradora?
zargot
Any suggestions to someone who is very new to the whole anime thing? The shows I have seen can be counted on on hand.

Don't know the terms you use around these shows but I don't want to see stuff that is basically hentai. The show(s) that I liked the most of the ones I've seen was probably Zankyou no Terror(spelling?) and Tokyo ghoul.
Do you guys have any other tips for a newcomer to watch?

There's Hentai which is anime pornography then there is also Ecchi which is pretty much softcore porn. I wouldn't recommend that to anyone anyway unless they specifically asked for it.

Look into Deathnote, Black Lagoon or Code Geass. They are pretty safe and popular action titles for a beginner plus they don't require you to have any extensive knowledge about Japan.
Portin
Thanks, Green Platinum (:
I will watch it
Loneliness
Try to watch chu 2 byo if you don't watch it already j-j

Does anyone has recommendations on old, 90s up to 2000s ( but less than 2005 ) animes with good plots?

Can't go wrong with Ashita no Joe (older than 90's though) and Utena. Any reason for wanting older stuff?
Ochinchi-sama
Anyone know any decent mystery detective (maybe crime) anime no longer than 24 EPs. I wouldn't normally watch something like this but my boner pointed at the category one day.
Green Platinum
Ryuukishi07 Stuff
Higurashi
Umineko (While people will always point you to the VN the stuff included in the VN becomes much less mystery)
Ookamikakushi (Most disappointing of the three)

GOSICK
Denpa teki na Kanojo
Zankyou no terror
Hyouka

Thats the basics
Faust
Crime..?

Hmmmm, Psycho-Pass ? Jormungand ? Senkou no Night Raid ?

As for mystery, Denpa teki na Kanojo is good. Baccano! too.
Green Platinum
Would Yondemasu yo Azazel-san count?
Akutabe is still one of animes biggest badasses so it's worth it for that.
Faust
Might as well throw in Ghost Hound (A personal favorite of mine) too.

What a great show with all the genres I like.
