So far I have seen,

Naruto, Peacemaker Kurogane, Fullmetal Alchemist, Kenshin, Samurai x, trigun

I will only limit myself to anime that doesn't have nudity in it, (at least not totally visible nudity Very Happy ), so please don't recommend anything with full nudity, I have noticed that I prefer anything with samurai in it, so if you have some good titles to suggest from that genre than thanks, however, I am open to any good suggestions.

Thanks.

Well I would try to knock down some essentials right now if you are just starting out. Animes like Cowboy Bebop, Aikira, Princess Mononke, and Perfect Blue are few must see anime titles. I would recommend for your samurai fetish, samurai champloo, I haven't actually seen it yet but I know it involves a lot of samurai action and gangster rap Very Happy .

Based off your list, would recomend (though I haven't seen all of any of these) Otogi Zoshi, Samurai Champloo, and (Upcoming) Samurai 7.

Otogi Zoshi-- Probably closest to Samurai X, though somewhat flashier. It's about a girl who has to disguise herself as her brother, an accomplished warrior who is ill in order find the cure for the plague effecting Hien era Kyoto. Of course, more is going on then meets the eye.

Samurai Champloo-- A very "loose" and laid back Samurai story, with lots of comic elements. Probably closest to Trigun but made by the people who brought you Cowboy Beebop and Wolf's Rain.

Samurai7--Based off of the Seven Samurai (Akira Kurosawa movie) but set in a future that just happens to resemble feudal Japan. Coming soom from Funimation.

All the Best,

Nani?

Yeah, I too recommend Samurai Champloo. I have seen some of it, and it is very nice. Shinichiro Watanabe just knows how to do action, I can't explain it better than that. His other work, Cowboy Bebop, had a similar flair in its action scenes.

Samurai, you say?

Sounds like G-Gundam might be worth looking in to.

yes i recomend all those and Samurai Deeper Kyo. Also if you like aventure and fighting stuff i suggest Bleach.And a good adventure anime is Tsubasa Chronicles. And for a halarious anime try Mahou Negima Sennsei.

Samurai...um...perhaps ninja scroll or Wrath of the ninja which has many diverging oppinions, I personaly thought it was decent, animation a little old, and has a sort of randomness-one minute they are sitting, screen flashes an they are all standing, you dont really see the transition.

You seem to like a lot of shounen, so I'd suggest Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex. It's a bit dense in the dialog, so it takes more concentration on the plot. I admit I've been patient with it, but the episode on the morning of April 24th was well worth sticking to it. My tape was on SP mode, so it ran out before the end of the episode... Anime cry

Note that Ranma is a fan favorite that has been around forever. It does contain occasional bits of topless nudity for laughs rather than sex appeal. Just so ya know.

Pardon the shameless plug, but you could try the Anime Recommendation Database HERE.

Some personal recommendations that are similar, but different;
Hajime no Ippo (Boxing)
Initial D (Mountain Racing)
Hikaru no Go (Go rulez!, it may be too slow paced for you tho)
Samurai 7 (Futuristic version of Kurasawa's classic)
Tsubasa Chronicle (new show, looks promising)
Tsukuyomi Moon Phase (One of my current favorites, cute girl is rescued from dank ol' castle, good story so far..)

Not recommended;
Samurai Champloo. Worth seeing once (brilliantly drawn and executed), but if you like to watch anime that contains a plot and character development, nothing to see here - move along..

Samurai Champloo is probably worth seeing, even if you won't stick to it, since it's been described as "hip hop samurai", and that alone is worth checking out. I do agree, Hikaru no Go is worth seeing even if it is boring to some. I like it, but that could be because I watched 44 eps in a week. (2 fold out sets) I hear a bunch about Noir and Neon Genesis Evangelion, so checking it out wouldn't be bad. When I read your list of already watched anime, I didn't see any of Miyazaki's works there, and man, you're missing a lot. I've only seen Spirited away, but I really enjoyed it.
