Anyone here who is from Japan? and are interested in supporting me giving a letter to Jin Kobayashi for a continuation or an update of his word in School Rumble?
That makes me want to check out Boku Dake now, dark/depressing is a nice change from the normal stuff that gets cranked out. I just watched Shokugeki no Souma. The foodgasms were simultaneously stupid and funny, lol.

It's probably one of the darkest animes I've seen in a long while.

Can you match my resolve? If so then you will succeed. - Monty Oum
Wow, I didn't know the MC Forums had one of these. (I just got my thread locked and I was sent here)
So, anybody know good anime that isn't One Piece or Parasyte?

There's tons. Nichijou (comedy), K-ON (slice of life), Toradora (rom-com), Shinsekai Yori (horror), Steins;Gate (rom-com-drama-action-slice-of-time-travel), Spice and Wolf (economics/historical, way more exciting than it sounds I promise), Death Note (psychological), Code Geass (psychological/mecha/political), Initial D (sports/racing), or either Fullmetal Alchemist series (classic shounen adventure) are all good places to start in my opinion (not necessarily the very best, but some of the better and more approachable series), but honestly, it's hard to go wrong just picking a show that catches your eye and then dropping it after a couple episodes if it's not to your liking.
tl;dr just pick a series that looks interesting (off MyAnimeList or anywhere else) and watch it for as long as you care to. Rinse and repeat.
Thanks for not posting only the generic popular stuff. Also, the mainly comedy types. I'll try some of these maybe probably. I'm so indecisive, so this will slightly help.
prob because the only people watching Gintama° are dedicated fans.
Yep, that's why sequels on MAL have better ratings than their predecessors on average, which leads to niche shows with billions of sequels like Gintama and Hajime no Ippo to unintentionally game the ratings system and appear way above where they otherwise would. If you didn't like the first season of Gintama, chances are you're not going to still be around watching the 4th season. Ratings for long-running shows (including Gintama's original 201-episode run) are positively skewed as well, because of the 1/5 rule. If you don't like a long-running show, then you're likely to drop it before watching 1/5 of its episodes, in which case your score won't be counted.
There was a show a few seasons ago about a guy who got a job in a department where they go and reclaim androids from their owners before the androids' memories failed and they went nuts. The guy was partnered with one who was near end of life herself. What was the name of that show? I can't recall.
Only if you consider it wrong to enjoy repetitive humor.

Retired StaffI'm a second away from dropping Boku Dake, I've seen my fair share of dark and brutal anime but this one is literally depressing.

Really? I guess maybe if you consider "serious" and "dark" to be synonyms. It's definitely serious, but I'd say I've seen plenty of much darker shows.

Lots of series, including Bebop, have worse pacing than Steins;Gate, so this disclaimer seems unnecessary.

Spring 2016 seems like a nice little season with Jojo's, Boku no Hero Academia, Flying Witch, and Ace Attourney...
can't wait for the Summer season tho, it has so many shows I'm looking forward to. ♥

Curse PremiumNothing particularly grabs me in spring, but I'm eagerly awaiting summer's continuation of Shokugeki no Souma.
Just finished Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei 魔法科高校の劣等生
My god that thing is good. Will read the light novels.

I haven't watched anime recently, as I have gotten out of it, but I would say it is between Naruto and SAO (Season 1)
