What's your favorite anime of all time?

The Warrior
I'm trying to get some ideas on what to watch/buy next, and from experience, I can tell you that there is plenty of garbage out there. I'm fairly new to anime, so I want to know some of your favorite anime's/adult cartoons.

Mine include:
Spawn
X-Men (Mid 90's series, not that crap new one)
Spiderman (mid 90's series, not that crap new one)
Gargoyles
Cowboy beebop
Ninja Scroll

If you've seen Cowboy Bebop, then I suggest Samurai Champloo, which has just aired its 21st episode in Japan (I know they had a dvd release in America, don't know about anywhere else though). The series is directed by the same guy who did Cowboy Bebop.

If you're more into philosophical stuff, then I suggest Neon Genesis Evangelion (my favorite anime btw).  Others who have seen this also suggest Rahxephon.

For a little mix of action, emotion, and drama, I'll suggest Full Metal Alchemist.

I'm still better than you
Berserk
Grappler Baki (Check it Mo, I know you would dig it)
Hellsing
Ranma 1/2 (Ending was garbage)
DBZ (Classic, not the Funi crap)
Return of the OVerfiend (Obvious)
Cool Devices (Obvious 2x)

;D

Edit: One Piece (Not the 4kids version, dirty communists!)

Alucard

Neon Genises Evangelion (very deep yet still action packed, but, don't whatch the movie unless you wan't a) spoilers and b) a big depression)

The Rurouni Kenshin (Samurai X) first OAV don't touch the rest unless you pick up the manga.

Hellsing has little plot in the anime (and little more in the manga) but great action and well drawn characters. Bad ass central is Alucard. Not to say he is a deep or complex a character as Gutts of course.

Excel Saga (especially episode 3) if you want to laugh.

Full Metal Panic! is okay and its second season Fumoffu is hillarious even more so than Exel Saga.

American wise... South Park.

Stay away from the Samurai Deeper Kyo, DBZ (sorry saiyajin), Naruto and the new Gundams if you want story and action as deep as Berserk's is. ;)

Not a llama or your momma!
I would add SDF Macross (Japan, not robotech version) to the list of classic anime series worth watching. It has a soap opera vibe at parts, but it is a really monumental series.

Here's my Top 10. Some are already mentioned but if they're mentioned more often it just gives them more weight:

Hellsing
Record of Lodoss War TV
Record of Lodoss War OVA
Full Metal Panic (first season)
Ghost in the Shell: Standalone Complex
.hack SIGN
Rurouni Kenshin OAV
Serial Experiments Lain
Martian Successor Nadesico
Golden Boy

Edit: I say top ten, but Berserk isn't included for obvious reasons. :)

I like some of the main stuff, like Hellsing, Ninja Scroll, Berserk. I have watched multiple other animes, but they just suck compared to the others. Alot of the anime for sale in stores, yes brick and mortar not ebay, are geared towards little kids. When I look at the manga/anime sections in most places, it is bright green, purple, neon yellow, and five year olds running around. Most of the places don't even carry Berserk because it is too "violent". That upsets me because it is still one of the top selling mangas in the U.S.. Oh well, as long as it does well, who am I to complain ?
