How about reading some manga?
It feels much better to read a black and white picture book than watching an animation and most of the manga series are much better than their anime adaptations.
But if you insist, you can watch FLCL which is one of my favorite anime of all time, or maybe Ergo Proxy if you are more like a darker anime person.
Also, I recommand you to check my anime list here, maybe you'll find yourself a show that you will find interesting.

This one's great, enjoy :)
