they recommended a similar list for me when i said i liked death note. just finished code geass and it's definitely a hit.

Trying again.

Here are some of my favorite animes that I've seen.

Ao no Exorcist
Claymore
Death Note
Dragon Ball Z
FMA
FMA:B
Hellsing
Naruto: Shippuden
One Piece

All animes I watch must have two things in them. The first is some form of fighting, even if not physical (like Death Note). The second is that there must be some sort of special powers or something involved. Basically, no animes with just guns and/or swords. Also, no Bleach. Thanks.

Not at home atm but here are some from the top of my head

Darker than black
Code geass
Bacanno! Or however u spell it

Tried Darker Than Black, didn't care for it. I'm in the process of watching Code Geass, sort of trying to make it last. I'll have to take a look at Bacanno though.

pm'd you more recommendations

I need recommendations now
here is my list http://myanimelist.net/animelist/Overlord3k&show=0&order=4

Fairy tail
also vouch for code gease, stick to it..
if you liked code gease for the mecha part then go for Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann

Lol nice. I remember watching Detective Conan on Adult Swim back in the early 2000's. I wonder how far they've gotten now...

Try Claymore, it seems like something you might like. It's a bit old but very good. The anime is pretty good but I think the manga is longer and has a better story.
If you decide to watch the anime use this site: http://www.funimation.com/claymore/episode/great-sword/sub There will be ads and you have to sign up but it's practically the only site where the quality is good enough to see.

I had more recommendations but they were already on your list. > <

update: i liked code geass and i also enjoyed elfen lied. i did not really care for the changing narrator with durarara so i gave that up. i am not a big fan of mecha, but i do like taking-over-the-world, super powers, violence, and "evil" protagonists. any suggestions based on that?
