Looking for Anime Reccomendations ( scared of the D&D anime thread )

Okay. So i would take this to the D&D anime thread, but i have some rather specific tastes in anime, and i would rather not be made fun of for them.
First off, as some of you know, i am gay.
Second off, Im not looking for Shonen-Ai or Yaoi... i know where to find that if im looking for it.
Third, Im contradicting myself a little bit here, cause i still like Cute and Cool looking guys in my anime.
So here is the list of Anime i have watched in the past couple of years.
FMA
FMA Brotherhood
Soul Eater
Gurren Lagann
Kuroshitsuji
The Wallflower ( forget the Japaense name )
Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei
FLCL
Kampfer
xxxHolic
Nabari No Ou
Ouran High School Host Club
Magical Shopping Arcade Abenobashi
Please No Shonen-Ai or Yaoi titles. Ive seen them ALL ( and please keep your judgements about that to yourself... this is a thread of anime reccomendations, not "lets all pick on the fairy". )

Dude you know these fora are like super duper tolerant/gay friendly, right?
Anyways
From what I understand Death Note, in addition to being basically the best anime ever would be up someone of your sexual interests' alley
And i didnt care for Cowboy Bebop.
I havent listed all of the anime ive watched cause ive watched a lot of the titles of "yesteryear".
I think the oldest title i mentioned was Magical Shopping Arcade Abenobashi. Ive seen quite a few classics.
Ive also seen Noir and Paranoia Agent ( i hated both, but a friend MADE me watch them ).
I also hate Ghost in The Shell Stand Alone Complex.
I loved .hack//Sign and .hack//Roots
And um.. i cant think of any others.
Rurouni Kenshin
The Slayers (all of it)
Record of Lodoss War
Outlaw Star
At some point, once people have watched enough anime, I always recommend Martian Successor Nadesico. The series is even better once you've watched Evangelion... Nadesico rips a lot of anime series apart, and it's hilarious, particularly once you've suffered through Eva.

Nodame Cantabile
NANA
Fruits Basket
Full Metal Panic
Paradise Kiss
Eden of the East
The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya
It's one of my favorite anime, and all of the main pilots are male. There's no actual relationships between them, but it's not hard to interpret otherwise.
Kou and Azuma are the two most down to earth cool dudes in all of animes. You'll have to get over the art style though.
And Baccano! is pretty good as well.
And the d&d thread won't bite you. It didn't bite me.

First off, I'd recommend Rosario+Vampire since it's a good read.
Now onto some anime that you might like:
Kyo Kara Maoh - guy falls into some fantasy land, becomes married to a Prince, hijinx ensues
Loveless - Yun Kouga's famous work about something that I never watched so I dunno
X - CLAMP's famous work about two groups warring over the future of mankind
Saiunkoku - Period piece about a girl trying to teach a rogue'ish prince some manners, ala King and I
Trinity Blood - It's a ripoff of Trigun but with vampires.
They Were 11 - A sci-fi space movie from the creator of shoujo, Moto Hagio, about 10 space cadets who are on an isolated training mission to be a self-sustaining group on board a derelect space station...but there are 11 cadets on board...
Also, check out this review of Otoboku to see if it is for you:

I have never had anyone reccomend that to me before. Most everyone i talked to hated its guts when it was on Adult Swim, so i never bothered.
I dont even know what its about and if i have seen a character from it ill be damned if i can recall them.
Then again, most of the hate i heard for this series was from straight guys.
Ive heard Fruits Basket is supposed to be super cute, but ive never bothered with it ( i was in a major Soul Eater phase at the time ).
I saw the first episode of Eden of the East and was intrigued, but never followed up.
As far as anything that used to be on Toonami ( seen it ). Full Metal Panic saw and hated.
Havent heard of most of the others.
Cross Game... never heard of it. Might look into it.
Also.. a friend reccomended Tsubasa Reservior Chronicle.... im going to look into that.
I have a lot to look through here....
Also Loveless is SO Shonen-Ai.... its been plastered all over Aarinfantasy for years. Same with Kyo Kara Maoh.

Edit: Page- it's a suggest anime thread, not flame anime that you hate for some reason or another.

It's a really fun ride, and is quite solid, but is ridiculously easy to rag on.

Gundam 00 I also found very enjoyable, but I have yet to see the 2nd season.
Macross Frontier was a good watch, along with Gunslinger Girl.
Photon: The Idiot Adventures is one I found to be freakin hilarious and is another one of my favorites.
Not sure if you have seen Midori Days as you claim to have seen all shonen titles. I enjoyed the premise's absurdity.
Tho I have been out of the fansub scene for quite some time, I don't even know whats out there anymore.
Berserk is ok, the manga goes much further than the anime I believe and is way more graphic so it's sort of a love hate thing depending on how much gore you like.
If you'd like to check out some super cute stuff (not just cute guys) there's Chi's new house. it's about a cat so if you don't like cats skip it, but for some reason I'm hooked on it.
Lucky Star is fine if you get Japanese culture and how girls their age act, otherwise skip it.
Hajime no Ippo is a good action/boxing anime if you're into boxing. It's got two seasons and if you can look past some faults in it, it's not bad.
Great Teacher Onizuka isn't bad. It's not great, groundbreaking anime, but it's got funny bits.
I really gotta push some Gonzo stuff because it's usually a great story / really messed up story.
Speed Grapher - about a camera man (that's all I'm saying)
Samurai 7 - the remake with characters taken from the old movie, it's not bad, but it slows down.
This will be here until I receive an apology or Weedlordvegeta get any consequences for being a bully
Sorry I'm lazy.
You're not going to recommend Beck?
The other big Shonen Jump series, Naruto, is also actually pretty good. Well, the anime isn't, but I will stand by the manga as a truly excellent adventure. I dunno if the gender bias is enough to be offputting, but my sister likes it so...
Also, there's a reason there's a whole different thread for One Piece. (Still can't recommend the anime though.) I'm not sure it has exactly what you're looking for, but honestly it's just good and worth a look.
Haha, you know, I've never watched the show. :P

Oh yeah, watch the dub.
Also great and not-yet-mentioned: Detroit Metal City. It's a wacky comedy about a guy who love pop-folk music but is untalented at it. What he IS talented at, though, is death metal. Hilarity and vulgarity ensue.
