Interesting anime please?
It seems to me that with each coming season lineup, the standard for "good" or "unique" is becoming diminished. People seem content with increasingly more mediocre anime these days.
Question is, are there any anime's that are relatively new that push the genre forward? Something unique, interesting, and not cookie-cutter? Just finished steins;gate and thought it was pretty good. Not the best though. Anyways, thanks in advance for any good recommendations. List of anime I really enjoyed. Great teacher Onizuka Monster 5 CM per second Berserk Cross Game Gintama Gungrave Hajime no ippo Hanasaku iroha Last Exile Nana Air gear Black Lagoon Last exile Paprika Welcome to the NHK Rainbow To name a few.

Before I can help you can you please clarify your meaning of relatively new or recent. Do you want something from 2010 to 2012 or do you want something in the now, to say the least.
All I can do for now is recommend Hyouka to you because it's one of my favourite anime right now and the protagonist is crafty and cunning. Assuming if you're watching it already, that's all I can think of right now. That's all I can give you for now. Edit: Okay well here are my suggestions to you. Puella Magi Madoka Magica Katanagatari Fate/Zero Sora no Woto Kara no Kyoukai: The Garden of Sinners Don't forget about Hyouka as well. What do you think?

if you enjoyed Welcome to NHK, then you should give Sayonara Zetsubou Sensie a try , it is different though, but it is definately unique and also hilarious
other animes would be Mirai Nikki Fate/Zero Madoka Magica

Along the same lines, Bakemonogatari and Nisemonogatari come to mind. Lots of dialogue, comedic social commentary. Nisemonogatari gets the award for best toothbrushing scene in all of anime. I'd also suggest Hetalia. I can't guarantee you'll like it, but it's certainly unique... The Funimation dub is also one of the most localized I've seen, for better or worse depending on how you feel about that. The World God Only Knows isn't what I'd call a "great anime" (it's a lighthearted drama/comedy) but it's got its own thing going on. The hero is a dating sims master who ends up having to apply his skills to romance girls in the real world. And he's successful. B Gata H Kei was another recent comedy I found to be unique. It's not deep by any means, but I enjoyed it way more than I thought I would based on the premise. |

Watched The world god only knows and quite enjoyed it. Nisemonogatari sounds like something I will check out. I need to see this toothbrushing episode. ATM I am watching Tiger & Bunny, and I have to say it is completely amazing. |

Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 Saraiya Goyou Mouryou no Hako Aoi Bungaku Cross Game Kuragehime just in case you missed them. I'm focusing on shows that might meet your criteria of "something unique, interesting, and not cookie-cutter." (I'd add Hyouge Mono to that list, but I'm beginning to doubt the subs will ever be completed. Would that the current surge of interest in the Sengoku period might garner that show some attention. Instead we're being deluged with remakes that turn the main historical figures into cute girls.) One other show I'll mention here is AKB0048 because its premise, teen-aged idol singers as galactic freedom fighters, is so bizarre. Pretty entertaining though, in a cheesy sort of way.
