We're All Mad Here!
Hey so I'm new to Anime and I am currently watching Naruto, does anyone have any suggestions to what I should watch? I just don't wanna run out of one then have nothing else to watch
 
One Piece, Bleach and Dragon ball series (Dragon ball, Dragon ball Z, Dragon ball gt, Dragon Ball Kai (is a remake of Dragon ball Z), dragon ball super) would keep you occupied for a long time but for variety.

Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei, Overlord, Sword Art Online, Any Macross series, Any Gundam series, Rurouni Kenshin, Berserk, Zero no Tsukaima, My Hime, Shakugan No Shana, Kyou Kara Maou, Magical girl lyrical nanoha, Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, Twelve Kingdoms

Pokemon series, Digimon series, Yugioh series, Cardfight Vanguard series

And probably many more that I forgot to mention or didn't watch myself but definitely worth a mention.

Do you like Naruto? What do you like about it? It's a very long series so running out won't be an issue if you pace yourself.

If it's the first anime you're watching then there are a lot of genres.

Your current one falling majorly under Shonen with other minor tags.

If you're into the Shonen type of camaraderie and love overcoming most obstacles then it's fairly straightforward but if it's something else in particular about the series you can pin point then I can give a more precise suggestion.
 
JoJo's Bizarre Adventure for sure. It's similar to Naruto in that it has really good action, but very different in that it's able to create real drama and tension. There's an epiphany that happens when you get to episode 9 where you realize "oh shit, that actually happened." JJBA is one of the few shounen anime that isn't afraid of showing real tragedy.

Anyway, if you're interested in watching it, you'll need to know the viewing order, as JJBA takes place in several parts. The first you should watch is the 2012 anime, which is just titled "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure" and has 26 episodes. Then watch "Stardust Crusaders," then "Stardust Crusaders Season 2," both of which have 24 episodes. Then, you can watch "Diamond is Unbreakable," which recently finished airing and is where the anime has ended for now, it has 39 episodes.

If you find you don't like it at the start, I strongly recommend you stick with it until you get past episode 9, which is where the entire mood and general atmosphere of the story changes.
 
One Piece is pretty fun, especially the early episodes. That'll last you awhile. And also, HunterXHunter, although I found it difficult to like the protagonist for awhile (I do adore majority of the side characters.)

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure for sure. It's similar to Naruto in that it has really good action, but very different in that it's able to create real drama and tension.
Here's my suggestion for watching JJBA. Just start with Episode 10 of the 2012 anime. If you enjoy it, you can go back and watch the first 9 episodes, but don't force yourself through them because they aren't great.

While the first nine episodes definitely aren't as great as the rest of the series, they're still enjoyable to watch (if just for the twist at the end), and the first nine episodes are extremely important in setting up some plot stuff that happens later on.

They're important to the third part (Stardust Crusaders), but not much to the second part which is where I recommend just starting from.

Characters from Part 1 do return in Part 2 though, so Part 1's information isn't entirely useless for going into Part 2. Part 2 also spoils certain events in Part 1, IIRC.
 
A lot of people give Sword Art Online a bad rep, and while it's certainly not great, it's not the shittiest anime in existence (that goes to MARS Destruction). It also does well as a gateway anime... Not so much if you have over 80 anime under your belt, though. The author does a much better job in Accel World, but even then, while it's the exact opposite of SAO, people still hate the protagonist (I think it's because a lot of people see themselves in him, and a lot of people refuse to accept it when they do...)

HunterxHunter is something I also highly recommend as well, so I do agree with Glowworms. While I do love JJBA, I do feel you need a decent amount of anime under your belt to enjoy it (not nearly as much anime as something like Konosuba, or Bakemongatari ((which I both like and love)) but I digress.)

As for anime I myself am into and would recommend that isn't a part of the Weeb Starter Pack 2017, while still in the shounen and/or action / high stakes type deal...

Katanagatari, Mirai Nikki/ The Future Diary, Code Geass (new season coming up after waiting yearsssss), Durarara (although the pacing might be a bit hard to keep up with for some folks), Evangelion (if you can deal with old art style, otherwise just go to the rebuilds. But I do recommend the original first.), Fate/Zero, Higurashi no Naku Koro ni (if you want really brutal fights/deaths), Black Butler (just avoid the yaoi / BL fangirls... if you can...?), Madoka Magica (It may seem cutsey... But give it at least 3 episodes.), No Game No Life (although you might need more anime under your belt for that, idk), Re:Zero, Shakugan no Shana, Gurren Lagann, One Punch Man, and finally, without further ado, Boku no Hero Academia (My Hero Academia).

Every anime title here was bolded for an easier reading experience. If they are also italicized, it means I HIGHLY recommend them. (Although I highly recommend all of them starting from AW, it's just some I don't highly recommend for newcomers specifically...)
 
The Seven Deadly Sins is good. You should watch it even though it has fanservice.

I don't know what else to suggest since most people already suggested the good ones, but you should watch Fairy Tail if you don't mind the plot holes and the convenient plot armor (can't one of the characters just die? god damnit)
 
It depends on what you want.

Code Geass is a classic. You can't call yourself a proper, legit anime fan without watching it.
Mirai Nikki has a good story, and is like a nice blend between shoujo and shounen.
Surprisingly, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure has a very solid plot and the characters seem very alive and human.
Durarara is rather complex, but nonetheless good. It has some supernatural elements in spite of its innocent appearance.

And finally:
Fate/Zero and the whole franchise is incredible. It is the wet dream of any shounen fan.
