Mirai Nikki is the first thing that comes to my mind, Barles.

Well currently finishing up Bakemonogatari, then Shiki and Katanagatari. Also planning some Steins;Gate (though waiting for some BD releases) and Fate/Zero. Of the shows currently airing I'm only watching Hunter X Hunter so far.
At the moment interested in some good/decent animes from the past couple of years that have some good action in it. Doesn't have to be full throttle action, but at least a good dosage of it, and bonus points for good animation.
Towa no Quon?
one of the best in terms of action and animation
Kamisama Dolls for sure. Good action, greater characters.
Kyoukai Senjou no Horizon - Great animation, confusing storyline (until it suddenly all clicks 6 episodes in), and lots of unique fighting styles. Downside is a great deal of rapid-fire exposition, because the world is pretty detailed and complex. Dozens of characters (not an exaggeration) will be thrown at you in quick succession.
Chrome Shelled Regios if you haven't seen it. Similar problems that Horizon has, but much more straightforward in some spots, less in others. Good animation, great fight sequences.
Macross Frontier [two films] - The condensed movies are a lot better than the original.
REDLINE - [film] - Awesome stylized space-setting racing movie.
Break Blade - [6 OVAs] - Decent adaptation of the mecha manga. Very well animated, okay characters (the manga plays them out a bit differently), good solid action sequences, so-so plot.
Tiger & Bunny - Corporate Sponsored Superheroes. Good animation, well integrated CG, good plot and great characters.
Mardock Scramble [movies] - No idea when the second movie will ever come out, but it's got lots of promise.
Not so great, but I'll throw it in anyway:
Guilty Crown - It's pretty, I'll give it that, and the action is okay. The downside is the story is a complete waste of potential. Just when you think it might be getting good, it throws it away for nonsense to get to the the next set piece of eye candy.
Queen's Blade Rebellion - It's got action, rather high quality animation, and the fights are pretty entertaining. But it is Queen's Blade. It's overwhelmingly fanservice. Probably not to your taste.
Blood-C - Loads of gore, the fights are pretty good and the animation has a nice feel to it, but the 12 episode series should have been only 6 OVAs and nothing would have changed. Lots of filler episodes.
Thanks for the suggestions, downloading them now to have a look.
I'm looking for space series - human vs human conflict, preferably no aliens, and with tons of space travel - something that has feel of Cowboy Bebob, preferably more serious than Moretsu Pirates.
Buff recommended me Legend of the Galactic Heroes - and i'll watch it after i get it.
Oh - also i'm looking for cyberpunk series, preferably ones that aired after 1990.

Number of works of fiction that made me shed at least one tear: 3Thou seeketh soul power, dost thou not?TOX: 33524385841A92B08787EEBEBA2DB51ED293C4F15A2E292F3F C92165E82388281433A77EA8FE
You can't go wrong with Crest of the Stars and its sequels.Originally Posted by Xelbair
Cyberpunk, what about Texhnolyze, Ergo Proxy
what about Gundam Unicorn?
There's also a show called Tytania. It's from the makers of Legend of the Galactic Heroes. However, I have a distinct feeling it pissed me off not only a few times, but if you like LoGH, you might have a look at it as well unless the older mammoth series already makes you sick of space opera for a while. However, watch Bud's suggestion, Crest of the Stars, first. You can't go wrong with that one.
Edit: There's also a show called Soukou no Strain if you don't mind some mecha in addition to space ships. I don't have any bad memories of it, although it was ages ago, so selective memory might have erased negative factors.

Starship Operators.
Peace.
I'm adding them all to the list(except Ergo Proxy - i've seen that one), thanks for recommendations - if you got anything else please share :3

For me it's..
1. Saki - My favorite show right now and it's still going. Touka x Nodoka please.
2. Hatsukoi Limited - Saki-nee & Kei-chan, nuff said.
3. Hayate the Combat Butler 2nd Season - I'm liking this season a lot more than the first one.
Hey, so I could use some recommendations. I haven't properly watched anime since Summer 2011. So Fall 2011, Winter 2012, Spring/Summer 2012, I have no clue what's going on. Could I get some advice on shows I absolutely must watch for each season? I'd like to hear your top 3-4 for each. I'm pretty game for anything. If there were popular series I'd like to see those, and generally well-made ones too. Thanks!
edit: Fall 2011: Looking thru randomc's site, I found a few that would be interesting, not sure what people's opinions are. Mirai Nikki, Guilty Crown, Last Exile (love the original). There are others too that seem interesting.

-Kamisama Dolls: action
-Fate/Zero: action
-Chihayafuru: Sports, slice of life
-Jormungand: military, comedy
-Kyoukai Senjou no Horizon: alternate history, action, comedy
-Hanasaku Iroha: slice of life, coming of age(??)
-Boku Ha Tomodachi Ga Sukinai: harem, slice of life, comedy
-Usagi Drop: slice of life, coming of age(ish?)
-Ano Natsu de Matteru: romance
-Natsuiro Kiseki: slice of life, coming of age (not popular, but I thought it was a good watch)
-Sakamichi no Apollon: coming of age, romance
-Another: Mystery, horror(kinda)
-Steins;Gate: Mystery, time travel
-Thermae Romae: History, comedy (I can only remember Kraco watching this one with me)
-Moretsu Pirates: space opera, action, slice of life
-Inu x Boku SS: romance, slice of life, comedy

If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
Simple question: Since Iīve been away for some time, what is the best, highest quality anime-series that started during the last 2-3 months? Genre doesnīt matter, as long as itīs well done. Anything worth mentioning?
MuvLuv Alternative Total Eclipse and Campione!!!
/jk
Natsuyuki Rendezvous would be the obvious choice, as well as Kokoro Connect, but I am going out on a limb and ask you to try Oda Nobuna no Yabou.
If you don't mind fanservice and mediocre art, try Hagure Yuusha no Aesthetica. The protagonist is absurdly badass.
Peace.
Kyoukai Senjou no Horizon...still. Once you figure out what's going on during season 1, you get it all: Politics, intelligent debate, fanservice (both of the sexual nature and badass combat types of fanservice), and some clever plot elements. Also, it has high animation quality and a great cast.
Binbougami ga! - Best gag comedy series in a long while.
Why the heck did neither of the two of you recommend Sword Art Online?!?! :P
Great anime, 4 episodes in.
O Gotwoot sages - I am calling upon you for suggestions !
I am looking for something that will sooth my needs for quality.
I need something with good action citing as a reference REDLINE
I need depth, Ghost in the Shell Stand Alone Complex depth
I need caracters I can like and a noire setting, Mardock Scramble Noire
I have no idea what Mardock Scramble is, but judging from google image search, hereīs what I recommend:
- Ergo Proxy
- Karas
- Requiem for the Phantom
