I can't recall whether you've seen Revolutionary Girl Utena?
I recommend watching the Haruhi Suzumiya movie after you see season two, as I was pleasantly surprised by how good it was and felt it made a very reasonable stopping point. I also rather enjoyed the Endless Eight-- I had no idea they were coming up and no idea how long the show was going to keep doing that, so I watched all of them. I had a lot of fun seeing if I could piece together how they would get out of the time loop, and was very pleased that a) I could not but b) they weren't cheating and the solution was logical, in-character, and under my nose the whole time. But I am told by reliable parties that I lost all authority to pronounce on anything filmed being slow and boring after I both went to and enjoyed the nine-hour non-subtitled documentary about yak herders in Mongolia, so.
