If you're interested in yuru camp may I suggest some of my favourite slice of life anime: hidamari sketch, tamayura, gochiusa and sketchbook full colors. Warning these may not be too deep in the "show about nothing" level for beginners.
Toradora is very sweet, I highly recommend it if you enjoy cute romantic plots. Elfen Lied is quite beautiful and sad, and has an impressive intro and OST.
If you want something older and cheesier, Vampire Princess Miyu is fun.
For one-shots I have to recommend:
- Wolf Children
- Into the Forest of Firefly Lights (😭)
- Genmu Senki Leda (very old, I think it's on archive.org)
- Gude Crest (same as above)
Also, Angel's Egg if you're interested in a more abstract art piece by Mamoru Oshii from long before his Ghost in the Shell days.
Te puedo recomendar Spice and Wolf, Serial experiments Lain también es interesante
On the SF / fantasy side:
- Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou: Quiet Country Cafe
- Dennou Coil (because you like Lain)
- Last Exile
- Haibane Renmei
- Starship Operators
People here had quite a few interesting recommendations already, thank you all! If you enjoy deeper and a bit more abstract anime I'd personally suggest:
- Tatami Galaxy (+ "The Night is Short, Walk on Girl" and "Tatami Time Machine Blues" as sequels)
- Sonny boy
- Madoka Magica (+ Rebellion movie)
- Violet Evergarden (2018)
- Your lie in April (2014)
- Angle Beats (2010)
- The Place Promise in Our Early Days (2004)
