This anime = win.
I watched Kanon (2006) first. Makes you appreciate Clannad more. Other direction makes you feel like a downgrade, but try not to let it influence your view on Kanon. Oh and don't watch Kanon... watch Kanon 2006... same basic storyline.. EPICLY better (Basically a remake). At least in this troper's opinion.
My recently finished anime:
Note:All of these anime are free to watch. The first handful of links are from crunchyroll.com. At most you just have to make a free account there. If you guys are a bit iffy about that I'll gladly make a dummy account for any Southperry members and have the username and password posted here. Free accounts simply have to deal with like... a 12 second advertisement at the beginning of the video... seriously not that big of a deal.
The last few links are from Anilinkz.com. No need to sign up there. There's tons of anime there. Without further ado, my recommends (in no particular order):
Tower Of Druaga
First episode is a joke episode, pay no mind to its weirdness. This anime is like .. uh... an anime of what would be an interesting MMO. In fact, I heard they actually DO have a game of this anime. Don't let that fact deter you from watching this though (it might to some). I still liked its style. Once again, first episode = joke episode. The rest of the anime isn't as... well you'll see if you watch it.
TL;DR: Wait at least until episode 5 to say you don't like it.

Natsume Yujincho
THIS is how anime is supposed to be done. Touching stories throughout the series. I can't possibly tell you guys how much I liked this anime.

Otogi-Jushi Akazukin (TV)
Or Fairy Musketeers (Don't ask). Like my recommendation with Tower of Druaga, PLEASE stick around for a few episodes. In all honesty, I HATE little kids. And yet still, I really liked watching this anime which has nothing BUT them. Magical battles are a plenty.

To Aru Majutsu no Index
Translated: About a certain magical Index.
Another example about how anime should be done. I have no doubts that I will be watching this anime again. Hands down excellence in magical-ish battles. Interesting plot developments, awesome characters and a VERY diverse cast of characters personality-wise.

Nanatsuiro Drops
I'm spotting a certain magical coincidence in all of this anime
Also, since I've seen people on other forums do this... PLEASE oh pretty please, do NOT call this a Card Captor Sakura rip off and choose not to watch it. I can assure you that this anime deserves much more credit than that.
Granted the main character's voice is a bit on the squeaky side, which made me want to discard that anime instantly. However, I decided to see it through to the end and I never regretted that decision.

Sekirei
All I can say is... make season 2 already
Magical Battles meets Harem Comedy for excellent results. Yes, I believe that's the easiest way to describe this anime.
~~~~
Higurashi no Naku Koro ni
Translated: When They Cry. <--- I think... "They" referring to cicadas.
As big of a MUST-watch anime as... um... any anime you can think of. Both seasons and the OVA are available there. Page 2 has the first episode of the first season.
Higurashi no naku Koro ni Kai is the 2nd season.

Wow that ended up being more than I thought I was gonna type. That's it for now. I still have my text file filled with 50+ anime that I would want to recommend people watch.
...
Hmm, I wonder if I should make a thread with descriptions and links to all of the anime I've ever watched. If anyone's interested, lemme know and I might just go for it. It'll take forever though since as you see above, I like to give at least a little bit of an explanation to each anime. Laters~
P.S. Imagine Firefox shutting itself off right before I hit the submit button. Couldn't get that dam thought out of my head.
