My picks were Baccano, Samurai Champloo, Durarara, Haruhi, and Neon Genesis Evangelion. I would have picked Gintama, FMA, Cowboy Bebop, etc. but I just figured if I didn't vote for those 10 other people would so I thought I'd bump up some of my other favorites.

I feel your pain OP. Have you checked out the protagonists of Konosuba or Gamers!? They are not all cut and dry. Gamers! throws me for a loop every time the protag opens his mouth!
