K well Im not sure where to go off of just ghiblis and one series, but ill do what I can.
In my opinion, the next best to a Ghibli film is anything by Shinkai. So give A Place Promised in Our Early Days and/or Byousoku 5cm a chance. Very well done on both of them.
As per series wise, ill go that you like something with a little action, not sure of too much like Bebop as I havent seen it personally, but you might like something like Fate/Stay Night, Shakugan no Shana and maybe even something like a Last Exile.
Give those a look, are you just starting into anime or have you got a few series under your belt?

Yea, it's kinda hard to give recommendations on just Cowboy Bebop alone.
I take it you're into comedy anyhow, so there's Azumanga Daioh, Fooly Cooly, and Samurai CHamploo, to name a few.

Ouran High School Host Club is one of the best romantic comedies around, so if you like that kind of thing you could try that.
Death Note is great, it's hard to describe but it's really, really exciting.
D Gray-man is good, it's very long, 103 episodes, but it's a really good series. Also, Vampire Knight is excellent.

Thanks everyone so far for the suggestions....I really am just wanted to experience all kinds of anime. Not crap though, like the show on Nick Toons.
I don't mind blood guts action either. Just as long as it has a good story line, I'm up for anything.
I will have to check out what is already suggested.

Did you say blood guts action? Elfen Lied my friend, Id stick a censors warning for several nudity shots, but the series is quite soaked in blood, you might enjoy that.
Also Id recommend Higurashi no naku koro ni. Great and suspenseful with a large amount of killing and plot twisting. Two of my top 5 favourite series ever i think.

Ooh, Mushi-shi! It's wonderful, a tad bit quiet, but it's a very nice anime. It's rather Ghibli-ish as well. 
I haven't finished that one yet.. I haven't been able to rent it lately.

I reccomend the show you just called crap. I mean you can't determine if the show is crap if you've only watched like a few episodes!

outside of tall's randomness, ill throw in a second to mushishi. Greatly episodic, awesome when you dont have a lot of time and just want a nice self contained story. Reminds me of like 26 different eps like Voice of a Distant Star. Great for sure.

Ah, Voices of a Distant Star.. I own the manga of it, I should watch it. The manga made me cry. XD Is this created by the one who made She and Her Cat, or who was that director?
If you like comedy, I'd recommend Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei, and that depends if you can get past the amount of creepy fanservice. XD Most times it makes me laugh though, so there's no real problem. And the openings have NOTHING to do with the series, warning you now. XD Interesting animation style and completely weird. Love it. <33
I shall name more once I can. Because I usually recommend manga, not anime..

I know somebody that's obsessed with avatar... and she likes naruto...
And that's really all that she's seen. So I informed her of her anime deprived-ness.
And then she said that she thought that Aang was cute or something, and I realized that she was double-deprived.

Chobits is great. Very funny. I haven't seen all of it, but it's definitely worth your time.
Guyver is good if you want some slightly cheesy and quite exciting action. The ending is kinda odd though, but only because of the way they portioned the manga storyline throughout the series.

if you are a fan of Bebop then definitely give Samurai Champloo a shot, as Roar has already suggested. its the same director as Bebop, Shinchiro Watanabe. i personally think Champloo is as good as if not almost better than bebop though bebop obviously had something that made it alot more popular amongst a mass audience. champloo should be the next thing you watch i reckon, and its worth investing in the dvd set to, you will watch it over and over i promise.

Can someone give me a title similar to Pet Shop of Horrors and Black Butler/Kuroshitsuji? Because I KNOW there's some I found a few years ago, I just fail to find them. ;_;
And I suck even more for not knowing there was a 4 long episode anime of Pet Shop of Horrors. ;_; I adore this series. I'll collect the whole original series next summer when I go up to the camp because the Gamezilla there's the only place that sells the original series. It's nowhere else, just the newer version where Count D has his pet shop in Tokyo. The anime was made in 1999 and 2000, wasn't it? WTF took me so long to find it that I had to use Meggy's yaoi site to find it? XD No, it's not yaoi, it's a slashable BL series if you think of him and Leon that way. No, I don't. XD
Kuroshitsuji's anime is differing a lot from the manga now, but they maintain this series better than many. O.O I think the one in charge of episode 1 is doing these past two episodes, because they differ extremely and it's the only time I notice Sebastian's sickly pale countenance and brown eyes. He actually has red eyes and not so pale skin. XD He may be a demon, but still.. And the naked dog-man obsessed with licking him... Can I kill it? o_O;; Not literally. XD
Not sure where to look for similar titles.. And there's one about a silver haired god named Koumei and a boy named Rikusan, I THINK. I can't remember the title, and I really wanna finish this series.
