I'll get you a contract series tonight. Tempted to make it one of the Pokemon series, but I think I might find something more interesting than just going with the Pokemon anime on a Pokemon forum. Your tastes are pretty railroaded into a specific path: video game/card game anime adaptations, so I'm trying to think of some introductory anime.
For fine-tuning my recommendations, what didn't you like about Full Metal Alchemist? What about Fairy Tail? Also what did you not like about Sword Art Online?
