It could just be a case of Anime not being for you.

Gundam Wing is what I tried to watch. I'm a big fan of the kits but I just can't watch the show. What would you recommend?

What genre's of entertainment do you enjoy? There's a large variety because Anime is just like any other television.

science fiction, thrillers and drama.
Try Psycho-Pass

Another, Psycho-Pass, Parasyte, Death Parade, Soukyuu no Fafner, Darker than Black.

Thanks, I'll be sure to give all those a watch.
I did reviews on Parasyte and Death Parade, in the News section.

Another is horror, Thriller.
Psycho-Pass is Sci-Fi, Thriller.
Fafner is Mecha, Psychological.
Darker then Black is sorta Sci-Fi, Thriller and other things.

the one true God is Doctor Doom and we should all be worshiping him.
I just started watching Panty and Stocking. It has this weird hypnotic effect where I know I don't really like it, per se, but I can't seem to stop watching, either.

I remember back in October I read a manga called The Flowers of Evil. Finished the whole thing, I thought it was fantastic.

I think I'll start with either Parasyte or Psycho-Pass, they sound pretty good.

You will find out who you are not a thousand times, before you ever discover who you are. I hope you find peace in yourself and learn to love instead of hate.
I don't know I just watch them and get into it like a tv show or somethin'

The angel agreed to trade a set of white wings for the head of another demon. Overjoyed, the demon killed one of his own and plucked the head right off its still-warm body.

The angel then led the demon to heaven, where he underwent centuries of the cruelest tortures imaginable. Finally, the pain was so great that he lost consciousness - at which point his dark wings turned the promised shade of white.

Well it is just another form of media...

But its shunned for whatever pointless reason. Probably the otaku culture.

Good choices, if you like Psycho-Pass, another two to add to your list are Fate/Zero and Aldnoah.Zero, they're by the same writer.

I find the otaku culture highly disturbing. Especially when people who aren't Japanese adopt it. No wonder anime gets so much hate.

Definition of Otaku from urban dictionary:
Spoiler
Quote
TOP DEFINITION   
Otaku is the honorific word of Taku (home).

Otaku is extremely negative in meaning as it is used to refer to someone who stays at home all the time and doesn't have a life (no social life, no love life, etc)

Usually an otaku person has nothing better to do with their life so they pass the time by watching anime, playing videogames, surfing the internet(otaku is also used to refer to a nerd/hacker/programmer).

er er er hmm

It's like Japan's version of a typical basement dweller/no life/neckbeard, but it's also some kind of really bad insult from what I've read.

People who identify as an otaku are shunned - and rightfully so, it seems.

okay but do you have reasoning as to why it's bad or are you just saying it because you dislike it?
