Hi, I don't really like a lot of anime as I haven't gotten into it, but I know there's good stuff out there. I'm a big fan of the cyberpunk sci-fi subgenre, and I've watched the first ghost in the shell movie - I do plan on watching the second movie and tv series. I've also heard of Ergo Proxy. Generally speaking, I don't tend to like stuff about magical girls or teenagers. What would you guys recommend to me?

most anime is about that so you probably would like to get used to it, if you want to see a good portion of excellent anime.

I am watching Robotic;Notes right now, it's not bad, interesting characters and the animation quality is great.

Thanks blackstar, Psycho-Pass's premise looks interesting. Already seen one episode of Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt, liked it, might watch more. Ergo Proxy looks like a good series for me to watch, because it's not very long and I have limited time.
I also forgot to mention that I like big stompy robots, and watched evangelion and robotech way back when. Can't remember much about either series for the life of me, though.

Watch Robotic;Notes not directly about Giant robots stomping shit but about creating a Giant robot that stomps shit.

Personal recomendation is Deadman wonderland, but considering your cyberpunk tastes i got almost nothing, they don't tend to make many as far as ive found or i would be all over it
also Darker than Black is pretty good
edit: i forgot Highschool of The Dead, how could I. fan service is ridiculous in it, but who doesn't like a show about the zombie Apocalypse plus, hopefully the second season comes out soon
Oh btw for Steampunk try Last Exile
Ok dead man wonderland is trash.
My personal favorites Full Metal Alchemists, Cowboy Bebop, Samurai Champloo, FLCL, Bakemonogatari, GiTS SAC, Cromartie HighSchool, Nichijou,
FMA excellent story, characters, setting, etc.
Cowboy Bebop excellent voice actors, story, fight scenes and it is sci-fi
Samurai Champloo excellent fight scenes, really cool twist on edo period Japan
FLCL, short but amazingly sweet, FLCL I would consider the modern art of Anime. It's also great.
Bakemonogatari is also modern art of anime, really good art, really good dialogue between characters, hated second season.
GiTS SAC- Really good story, action, etc.
Cromartie HighSchool - Probably the funniest parody of anime I've ever seen.
Nichijou- Also just really funny
I recommend starting with Either Cowboy Bebop or FMA, Samurai Champloo or GiTS afterwards and then when you get into anime you'll find Cromartie High The last anime you should watch is Nichijou or Bakemonogatari. If you really liked Bebop you will love Champloo primarily because Steve Blum voice acts in both and both are by the director Watanabe. I recommend all of them in English and for some the Original voice acting is trash. Nichijou and Bake are the only subbed ones I recommend.
Last Exile is...ok. Voice acting is a mix in English and the story can be predictable at times. Action is good but doesn't happen often. It's good but For a first time anime watcher I really don't recommend it.
Deadman wonderland starts good but just falls flat on its ass quickly.
Darker then Black is ok but is pretty lame at times and I'm not going to get into it when it's only considered Ok.
Btw most ok amines I don't like to invest time into unless I'm on a roadtrip or plan ride as time to kill.

You were in love with Last.Exile for ages. Don't give me that "okay" statement.
