You should try Fullmetal Alchemist

If you're willing to go old school (1970's era animation), you might check out Starblazers

You might give Full Metal Panic a chance. It's technically mecha... but it's not really focused on the mecha the way Gundam is. Not sure if you'll like it or not, but you can probably tell if you will within 4 or 5 episodes. If you do like it I suspect you'll really like it.

If you'd like to try out some other genres from what you seem to typically watch, I'd suggest:

Cross Game (Coming of Age- all about life, death, and baseball).

and

The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya A Sci-fi Mind Screw that subtly mocks all of the "moe" and other common aspects of modern anime. Be prepared to be jerked around though, as the animators seem to enjoy messing with viewers heads. Important note: Haruhi is not the protagonist, she's the antagonist- some people seem to miss that point and then wonder why a jerk like Haruhi is someone they should be cheering for.
