Patlabor, especially The New Files, their second oav series (it's licensed, though). Don't let those mechs fool you, the show's intelligent and quirky, and does not rely on common anime themes to tell an interesting story. Koutetsu Hyaku Monogatari is an interesting horror-type anime that's just started being released by in Animesuki. It's reminiscent of an older anime, Curse of the Undead Yoma. Wings of Honneamise may be a bit too dry for your average anime fanatic, but if you're already tired of common anime stereotypes, then you might want to check out that film (it's also licensed). And I think the Ghibli TV movie Ocean Waves doesn't fall into those categories either. It's drama though, and I'm not sure if it's licensed, cause I think Disney didn't get that when they bought the rights for most of the Miyazaki/Ghibli flicks.
