ANN has done this on their own, but I'll add some extra tidbits along to what they have here along with my recommendations quoted.
Let's go in the order I saw them.
OURAN HIGH SCHOOL HOST CLUB
Hilarious show. There are scenes that have you laughing in every minute of the show. The art style is superb as well and transitioning between what I call "simple animation" (triangles for eyes and suchnot) to regular animation is smooth and effective. I also really like the ending theme.
Important note: No, I did not fool you into watching a Yaoi. Do not judge the show based on its intro which would really convince you otherwise.
THE MELANCHOLY OF HARUHI SUZUMIYA
Weird show. Episode one does not make any sense until the very very end. The show doesn't even really begin until episode two. But the first episode is necessary and hilarious. The main characters are all unique and odd in their own ways.
UTAWARERUMONO
It's good. It's cute. Just watch it.

Let's go in the order I saw them.
OURAN HIGH SCHOOL HOST CLUB
Middle-class Haruhi Fujioka is the only student at the uber-exclusive Ouran High School whose family isn’t filthy rich, and when she breaks an $80,000 vase, she’s left in the hands of the Host Club, an enigmatic group of six impossibly good-looking and ludicrously wealthy young men who mistake her for a boy. Initially they plan on putting him – er, her – to work to pay off the debt, but once it becomes clear she – er, he – is a hit with the ladies, they make her a full-time member of the Host Club!
Important note: No, I did not fool you into watching a Yaoi. Do not judge the show based on its intro which would really convince you otherwise.
THE MELANCHOLY OF HARUHI SUZUMIYA
An effortlessly practical and down-to-earth guy on the surface, Kyon used to be fascinated by ghosts and demons and ESPers, until he found himself in high school and shelved those fantasies for stark reality. On the first day of class, he meets Haruhi Suzumiya, a beautiful and intelligent – but extremely eccentric – girl who proclaims on the first day that she isn’t interested in “normal humans”, and unless you’re a ghost, an alien, or a psychic, she doesn’t want to talk to you. Kyon finds himself strangely drawn to the girl, and winds up being instrumental in the forming of her new club (created after Suzumiya joined all the other clubs for precisely one day and abandoning them just as quickly). Their goal? Well, Kyon doesn’t know yet, but with Haruhi in charge, anything goes.
UTAWARERUMONO
Hakuoro has lost his memory after succumbing to serious injuries; but thanks to a elderly woman and her granddaughter Eruruu, he is nursed back to health. His face is covered by a strange irremovable mask and he occasionally sees beastly visions. Eruruu now cares for him as he becomes accustomed to the village and its inhabitants who all bear strange ears (the women have tails too). Though these people venerate the forces of nature, desecration of an alter forces them to take drastic measures to preserve their lives from the wrath of Mutikapa-sama, guardian of the forest.
