I'm trying to get back into Anime, I want some recommendations to fit my taste. I like shows like Trigun, Black Lagoon, Samurai Champloo, Rurouni Kenshin, Gurren Lagen. Action animes with comedic bits.

Higurashi no Naku Koro ni (When They Cry)...it's fan-fraking-tastic.

Erm, Cowboy Bebop is somewhat similar to Samurai Champloo. You might enjoy Hellsing Ultimate, action with a minute bit of comedy at times (don't go for Hellsing the series, Ultimate is better). Ghost in the Shell Stand Alone Complex would be another, I guess.

That was a pretty hard one for me, but anyway, I'll make my obligatory suggestions that I think you may enjoy anyway (action mostly):

Baccano!, Durarara!! and Legend of the Galactic Heroes.

I already watch Bebop, I liked it, but the vibe is different from what I want right now. I was planning on watching Hellsing, but it' seems too dark and not very funny.

Yeah, Hellsing has minute comedy, though a little bit does come into play at times. I'll try to think of more action-comedy animes, but it isn't so much my taste. On a somewhat related note, have you watched the two new Gurren Lagann movies? (mainly just recap the story with better animation, but the second one is fantastic for the new fight scenes)

edit: FLCL, or Furi Kuri might be a good one to check out.

You're right. I'll add Shigurui: Death Frenzy to that list, it's a little slow, but it's cool.

Berserk is pretty good too, but I don't know if it's up your alley or not.

I like Paranoia Agent too, it's twisted, though WTC is more of a mind warp xD

Have you seen Shigurui?

Oh God, I don't know why I didn't even notice your Shion avy till now. =p

I'm pretty sure I saw a couple episodes.

Can't say I'm a big fan of anime, but Franz Kafka's A Country Doctor is bad ass.

Just finished watching the fist season of Soul Eater. Highly enjoyable and worth at least giving it a look.

The one I will recommend is Angel Beats

It started airing this year and is on its 5th episode, you can see them all on Stagevu or a ton of other sites.

"In a world after death, angels fight for their fate and their future. Yuri, the leader of the Shinda Sekai Sensen, rebels against the god who destined her to have an unreasonable life. On the other hand, Tenshi, the chairperson of the student council for the world after death, battles against the SSS members. SSS members utilize armed weaponry to battle it out against the angels harnessing supernatural powers."

Why must you lie, Yandere?

I don't, manga is better.

Anime requires a large budget, so tons of good content never turns into anime/people usually create uninteresting anime centered towards a wide audience.

I meant that The Trial is more awesome, but that's a good point too.

I was talking about the animated adaption of Franz Kafka's A Country Doctor, I wasn't comparing it to any of his other works.

Kōji Yamamura is better than the "overrated" Hayao Miyazaki.
