Okay before I jump into this conversation,

Wait there was a Psycho Pass movie? Why do I not know of this?!
*cough*
Arren, you really need to watch the ef series, especially the first season. The Soredemo series is not awesome, just good. If I have to make a parallel, it'd be along the same lines as Saiunkoku Monogatari or Utawarerumono.
Also, Isshuukan Friends = Highly recommended  I thought it was gonna be like Fifty First Kiss, but from the looks of things the story is going to be rather different.
@saddle: There's a few series I've watched more than twice, if I follow my own definition of "over and over again". Among them are Cardcaptor Sakura (don't ask), Azumanga Daioh and Ai Yori Aoshi. Usually I rewatch series because it's just plain fun to watch like AzuDai, or have a story I really love, Like Ai Yori Aoshi and Ano Natsu de Matteru.
Conversely, I rarely rewatch titles I myself would very highly recommend, sans movies. I generally am able to remember most of any given story, so for stuff like Gosick, Higurashi or Psycho Pass, I know I will never get the same feeling of excitement or suspense as I when I first watch it, so it's very hard to watch it a second time.
In that sense, most titles I rewatch are light stuff like comedy or saccharine-sweet romance stuff. Probably because it's impossible to be tired of feeling happy

Wow... I should not try to communicate at night. I swear to god we were talking about the Steins;Gate anime and movie o_o But apparently I even typed Psycho Pass... (which was an awesome show! and I would definitely watch the movie of xD)

Ha, that made me chuckle. I think you need more sleep!

Maybe she was sleeping... in a different timeline.
That said, I discovered that there will indeed be a Psycho Pass movie, after the second season.
Also, Kindaichi is nice.

Well. That's me done with Psycho-Pass. That was a very, very good series. You know I'd actually have been okay with it if there wasn't a second season. This is a good thing! It means the ending was decent. But yeah, great story, really good characters... At the very beginning I wasn't sure how I was going to like Akane. Heh, my first impression of her was the same as Kunizuka's. And I was as wrong as Kunizuka. Hm. I saw that a lot of people really hated Ginoza, and I could see why, with the way he behaved at times. I was angry with him too sometimes. But at the same time, particularly towards and at the end, I really sympathised with him and liked him. It was a bittersweet conclusion for him, heavy on the bitter. But he seemed to be at peace with things, more or less. Good character, flawed and believable.
The question now is, what next? My to-watch list is long enough as it is, so I should probably choose something from there or finish one of the several shows I started and didn't finish...

I suppose that depends on what type of thing (genre, etc) you'd like to watch. And also what your existing to-watch list includes!

I need something light now, a romantic comedy sounds good. Something like Kaichou wa Maid-sama or OHSHC. Hmm.

In that category, or close to it, I'd put Kare Kano, Hyouka, Noragami, Ano Natsu, Chuunibyou demo Koi ga Shitai!, Candy Boy, Eden of the East, Hanasaku Iroha, Haruhi Suzumiya, Kannagi, Lovely Complex, Sukite Ii Na Yo, Tonari no Kabutsu Kun, Nourin.
Some of them are more slice of life than romance and many don't deliver the riots of laughter that OHSHC does but they are all fun.
Usagi Drop might entertain you as well, it just fills you with warm fuzzy feelings but isn't comedy.

If you can forgive it for being a rather cliched harem comedy with a bizarrely contrived plot, Nisekoi is a lot of fun to watch.

So I finally got a chance to watch Madoka:Rebellion the 3rd movie, and I have to honestly say... it was confusing. So much so that I think the series alone, or the first two movies combined, was sufficient. The additional movie only served to create an innumerable number of discrepancies and unanswered questions to the original series, in my opinion.
EDIT: Is anyone watching the new Kindaichi series? I'm hoping to have a mystery discussion group because I like solving mysteries, even though I'm lousy at it Would be a fun way to work those brain cells.

Working my way through Kill la Kill after seeing Arren (I think?) mentioning it. I'm really enjoying it! It's a rather bizarre show but its frenetic pace and style of animation is really engaging and the protagonist is cute. I find the basically-naked battle uniform that she and others wear a little unnecessary, but it's done in a very knowing way (she's initially very embarrassed about it) so it doesn't bother me as much as it might.

I watch fewer than I would like to because when I start one I feel really bad if I don't finish it. Some kind of nutty quasi-OCDness I guess. I also spend a lot of time rewatching my favourite series over and over because I get so much joy out of characters and stories I like and animation styles I think are cool.
I just did a count up for no real reason than I was curious.
Anime Series:
71 watched
6 currently being watched
47 in my list to be watched
Films and OVAs:
68 watched (some are as short as 30 mins though)
16 to be watched
Currently watching:
Golden Time
Kimi no Todoke
Monogatari 2nd Season (this is a re-watch)
Mushishi
Nourin
Photo Kano (yeah, I know, so bite me)

I did mention it! I actually ended up really enjoying it, even though I was uncertain at first. I'm glad that that aspect didn't put you off, because it turns out to be really enjoyable, and ultimately the ridiculous outfits end up seeming kinda cool after all. I hope you like the rest of it!

Kill La Kill is probably the only anime in history where nudity and fanserviceis crucial to the storyline
Gonna watch that Penguindrum series soon, hopes it's as good as people say. I'm still wondering if I should watch Tiger and Bunny.

I recommend both! Penguindrum is very strange and not so consistent, but I think it's great. And Tiger and Bunny is a lot of fun.

Penguin Drum was amazing at first but as it became stranger and stranger and I got completely lost and couldn't understand what the heck I was watching some of its appeal waned. I'm sure its clever and deep and meaningful but I was somewhat frustrated by it.
Tiger and Bunny is going on my list.

I mostly had no problems with Penguindrum, but I was unimpressed by the villain and thought the one oddly comedic episode in the later part of the series somewhat undermined the seriousness of the character it involved. I enjoyed the complexity of the later episodes though.
As an aside, now I think about it, like the fanservice in Kill la Kill, the product placement in Tiger and Bunny is surprisingly important. Not in the sense that it's central in the overall story, but rather that it's a significant aspect of the setting.
