OK, time to ask for help again finding decent anime to watch. I really liked Code Geass, so am up for more CLAMP. I also really like the BLEACH formula, i.e., hero gradually gets stronger over time and then kicks some major butt. Also, just about anything else would be good, too. However, I prefer series that are finished, as I can't stand how

Let Bleach sit for a few months. The manga finally got Awesome again in a very Major Way - but that won't show up in a while. It's better to catch up in chunks than to sit waiting for the next ep.

For those gradually get stronger shows (which I love too), Avatar (if Mandy haven't forced you to see it yet) and Vagabond (a manga, not an anime - but it is available in English - you would love it).

As for proper Japanese anime, Kekkaishi is fun and the main character develops his skills instead of just OMGI'VEPOWEREDUP - he actually has to be creative as well as use his raw ability. Plus, the side characters aren't incredibly weaker than him - the heroine of the anime, Tokine, is more skilled and experienced so he learns a lot through her influence.

The hero can be a bit of a dork sometimes and his hobby is Baking the Ultimate Cake Castle, but how can you not love that?

Sorry that is the most I can recommend in that area. If you ever feel like romantic comedy, Lovely Complex is an awesome show. If you ever feel like straight up wtf-this-is-funny then I highly recommend Gintama.
