Reccomend me

If you want to avoid gore and watch a surprisingly epic show, I'd recommend Kuroko no Basket. I'm not normally a huge sports anime fan, but this anime was pretty cool. Good art, good animation, a cool mix of characters, ect. I'll also hop on the band wagon and recommend One Punch Man. It's worth the hype(there is some gore, though). http://myanimelist.net/anime/11771/Kuroko_no_Basket http://myanimelist.net/anime/30276/One_Punch_Man

buck, man, I haven't seen any of those shows except for that I started watching Clannad. I'd recommend Puella Magi Madoka Magica to anyone wanting a good story though. The pretty colors are free of charge.
