Any of you guys seen Higurashi?
It's a fucked up head-trip horror anime involving cult murders and parallel universes. One of my favorites (probably second only to Cowboy Bebop, which everyone has seen).
Here's a little preview to give you an idea:

That looks insane! 
I almost forgot about Irresponsible Captain Tylor, anyone seen that?

Complete idiot/slacker enlists in the military and through a bug in the recruitment system ends up the Captain of a Starship. Has absurdly good luck throughout (or is secretly a genius, never really clear.) Pretty dry humor but I thought it was hilarious.

I can't stand when people hate on Naruto. The plot and direction is great. The character development is unrivaled in any other anime I've seen. I know its a money-making whore of a show, but that's not a bad thing here.
My other faves are
Hunter x Hunter/Yu Yu Hakusho (the characters are basically the same) Death Note Monster Darker than black
I've also enjoyed watching many other anime's all the way thru while waiting for Naruto filler to end lol
Highschool of the dead FLCL Claymore Hikaru No Go Real bout highschool Inuyasha
Always gotta show respect for DBZ and Pokemon (two of the biggest whore ever)
I need to find more adult-themed anime (like monster/darker than black/death note). Not my typical "kid thinks he's special and has to go his own way" theme.

I don't hate Naruto (although I don't watch it anymore either) but unrivaled character development? Really? Maybe in that there are at least a dozen "slice of life" filler episodes centered around each character. 
I'm not saying the characters are poorly written but there are shows with exponentially more depth of character than Naruto (many of which have been listed in this thread so get cracking!) 
Ah but be forwarned -- that last anime I posted , Irresponsible Captain Tylor, is not one of them....pfhahah.

Yeah, I just haven't com across an anime that gets me so emotionally connected with characters that aren't even stars of the show. They give enough attention to little details of each character, and makes it easy to connect with them and feel what they are going thru. Usually a show may have me connected with the few main characters. Not talking filler, cuz I often skip that.
Or maybe the show its just extra emo

Yeah, I think that's part of it -- counting both series it's an extremely long show so a lot of fans have formed strong attachments to the characters, even minor ones. I think it's less that they're well developed though, and more that there's constant drama/hardship to make you feel for them. It can be entertaining, but it's never really thought-provoking or deep. My other problem is that it relies heavily on some really tired anime tropes (the setting, the whole "power up" mentality of the show, the plain as day good/evil dichotomy...except for Sasuke I guess but he's a pretty one dimensional revenge character imo.)

Yeah no kidding, I had a full plate already when it comes to procrastination material but I'll have to make time for some of these

It's a bit short for my taste, though.

Yeah. It's less than an hour, I believe.
That's the thing that kinda sucks about all the Urban Vision animes. They're gritty, dark, have great soundtracks and trippy as fuck but aside from Ninja Scroll they're all pretty short.

Lucy is one crazy bitch. 
Elfen Lied, while short, is probably another favorite of mine.
