I'm not really a big fan of anime. I think almost everything out there sucks hard (but thats my opinion), but theres still a few ones I've enjoied:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banner_of_the_Stars
Sekai no Senki/banner of the stars series is excellent if you enjoy space operas/SF. I'm currently reading the novel, and I can recommend that one too, if you read japanese. I don't think theres an english translation out (there is one fan translation out there though. I know that the guy who did the translation was trying to get publishing rights in the US, but I dont know if he got it.)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infinite_Ryvius
Infinite Ryvius is another high quality SF series, that just sucks you in. As this is SF, you may or may not like it depending on your taste(hmm... captain obvious...)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sexy_Commando...#33;_Masaru-san
Sexy command is crazy funny if you like the type of humour they use. Theres not many of these so called "funny shows" that I enjoy (like FLCL which so many are(or were) raving about... I managed to look through 2 eps, and I just found it bad... very bad.) its not a very long show, 48 episodes at about 7 to 10 minutes each. but they are very entertaining. The manga is a bit longer, and I can also recommend that.

If you have relatively good japanese comprehension skills, I also want to reccommend a comedian group of 2, called Ramens (?????). Do a youtube search for ???? which is a series they made. Personally I enjoyed the one about chopsticks and the one about sushi a lot. but all of them are gems

Thats all I can think of for now.

There are more but... can't remember... and ya, I totally love making anime list... XD;;
 
Although its not really an anime watch AVATAR
trust me you wont be dissapointed. The story is excellent and develops as it goes
 
the best anime to watch is the ones where this girl is in trouble and this weak nerd guy comes and says" dont worry i will save you bitch" and he tries but the boss guy is really hard so then he screams really hard and in anime if you scream really hard you get stronger and he beats the bad guy and gets a new girlfriend


oh wait thats all anime

Only the anime everyone knows about; the Shonen Jump kind, like Bleach and Naruto, is like that. There's really some great anime out there with excellent stories.

On-topic: Currently watching Death Note and the story is great so far.
 
It would be an insult if I don't recommend One Piece. The first few episodes are pretty corny, but it gets better around the Arlong Arc. (Don't watch the dubs.. Period)

Death Note
Cowboy Bepop
Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya

Those are some good ones too.
 
Best anime I've ever watched (several ones):
Saikano, 13 episodes, really really sweet and sad and awesome
Spiral, it's fun, kind of exciting.... 26 episodes (or 25 don't remember).
Cromartie High School, like 10 minute episodes, 25 of them.. best. anime. ever! (and it MOVES! (those who've seen it know what i mean.. haha))
 
I used to be a hardcore anime fan. I'm glad I dropped out of it though, but back then I used to love:

Full Metal Panic (all three seasons - second season is just pure comedy, it's actually funny too)
Fullmetal Alchemist
Scrapped Princess

The'yre both unrelated. Some people get the mixed up, make sure you don't.

I would recommend Death Note as well.. but I recommend reading the Death Note manga instead since it's much better in my opinion. No fillers and it hooks me on more than it did compared to the anime.

Edit: I just noticed the guy above me bumped the topic that's 2 months old. lols. My bad.
 
the one that has like .. you know. it was story about some guy who fights bad guys and fail. then he screams and rocks start to flow and then he got powers and then he like do some kickass and he will win.
 
I has watched only about 60 anime series, but here's my recommendation.

1. Tengen toppa gurren lagann. (WHO DO YOU THINK I AM?!)

2. Code Geass (Death note with Mechas)

3. Higurashi no naku koro ni (One of the biggest mindfucks in history.)

4. Higurashi no naku koro ni kai (sequel to the higurashi naku koro ni, but answers the major problems.)

5. Seto no hanayome (The first few eps aren't very funny, but it gets very funny after ep 4. If you think the last ep of Gurren lagann was epic, then watch the last ep of this.)

6. School rumble (Funny romance comedy. Not as funny as seto no hanayome, but still has its own charms.)

7.Kino no tabi (Great series. I have the first 9 books in Korean. It's based off a light novel.)

8. Gundam 00 (The newest, but I shed manly tears in ep 23. It's the first Gundam to have HD, and the first to have a non-fictional background.)

9. Azumanga daioh (It does everything Lucky Star didn't do)

10. Seirei no moribito (The one of the most budgeted anime of 2007. Made by the company that made ghost in the shell)

11. Sola (The script writer is the writer of Air, Canon, and Clannad.)

12. Fullmetal alchemist (The anime that convinced me that anime wasn't full of Naruto, Inuyasha, and Bleach. It WAS the first anime I liked in 4 years.)

13. Death note ( The first ep just starts off with the background and all, but the second ep blew me away. Don't watch the dubs. You'll thank me.)

14. Sayonara zetsoubo sensei (I spelled it wrong, but anyways, it's really funny. )

15. Cromartie High (Incredibly short, but incredibly funny. It also has Freddy mercury in it, so WATCH IT!)

P.S I prefer not to watch mainstream shounen series, since they usually end up SUCKING. Fullmetal and Death note were the exceptions.
