I'm looking for good anime and I've run out, suggestions?
What I like:
Good characters! Impressive artwork, mature storylines ala GITS or early Miyazaki.
What I hate:
Annoying Smiley faces, nonsense dialogue ie. everyone screaming battle plans, ,creepy-jailbait-goreporn-lazerfights. I would like to avoid seizures/bleeding eyeballs too.

EDIT:
Thx all
Maybe this will help you narrow my interests?

What I've seen:

AKIRA :thumbup of course
GITS :thumbup big fan of Oshii, I'm trying to find Patlabore 2...
Skycrawlers:thumbup
Nausicaä :thumbup(best manga ever, read a million times)
Grave of the fireflies:cry:applause
Totoro :thumbup
Mononoke :thumbup
Howl's moving castle :wtf(hated)
Spirited away :thumbup
Cowboy Bebop :thumbup
Black Lagoon :thumbup(read too)
Vampire Hunter D:thumbup
Appleseed:thumbup
Deathnote:thumbup was super epic, the live action sucked...
Claymore had potential but ended up giving me a headache :mad
shigurui, very cool art but excessive gore
The :thumbdown:
macross plus hurt my eyes
Inuyasha...meh manga were better
High school of the dead, art does not impress
Mushishi, interesting but proved painfully slow
Cashern, nope

rin daughters of mnemosyne:wtf ...that's just porno
Elfen lied, :wow goreporn

If you have Netflix, High School of the Dead is streaming. It appears Trigun is also streaming.....can't go wrong with Vash.

There are too many series out there:
Hellsing
Samurai Champloo
Black Lagoon
Death Note
Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood



Movies:
Appleseed and ex machina
Ninja Scroll
Paprika
Sword of the Stranger
Mezzo Forte

High School of the Dead was good, but sadly, it did not continue. Still worth the watch though.

Cowboy Bepop, watch that shit. No wonder Firefly turned out so good, lol.
 
Initial D.

Although I liked FMA, it violates the "annoying smilie's" prerequisite. Ninja scroll, appleseed, deathnote, hellsing:thumbup

The first few episodes of Claymore is cool too.... but it kinda unravels into demonic dragon ballz towards the end.
 
Shigurui: Death Frenzy
Ghost in Shell movies/series
Cowboy Beebop tv series and movie
Akira
Ninja Scroll
Vampire Hunter D movies
Macross: Do You Remember Love? (Japanese voices/English Subtitle version)

That would be Soul Eater. :)

I liked Claymore, but you're right, it did get a little Berserk towards the end...but there are a lot of anime that take a left and leave you like :wtf

Can't believe no one mentioned Evangelion yet.

Durraaraa (or however you spell it).

Read or Die was ok.

dear god.... My SO watches that. A couple cool/unique ideas but I can't stomach the "fluff" enough to follow it.

I've watched every Naruto and Naruto Shippuden episode....talk about filler. It's gotten better at not putting so much in, but it's doing it right now with a lame back story of Naruto and Sasuke instead of getting it on with the great ninja war.............I'm hoping Naruto will have to kill Sasuke, and do it in front of Sakura, and when he does he'll look over at her with a smile on his face and say: "How do you like me now, bitch"!
