Anime newbie looking for shows/movies

Well if you like blood and gore....
Mirai Nikki was really good. It had a really good use of a yandere character and an interesting concept for the most part
Higurashi no Naku Koro ni is really gorey, but also fantastic. It's confusing at first, but it's a must for psych-horror fans
Death Note is another psychological horror, but with a lot less gore. Don't get me wrong, death should be implied (after all, it's called Death Note) because there is a lot of death.
Puella Magi Madoka Magica is a magical girl anime, but it's a deconstruction of the genre. And it's done really well.
Ouran High School Host Club is a really light hearted humorous anime about a commoner going to a school for rich people and having to work for a group of them after breaking a vase. This is my favorite of the shojo I've seen.
