1. Trigun - It's just a classic, plain and simple. The story has an incredible back drop, and an impressive amount of lore to go with it.
2. OutLaw Star - Kind of a personal reason. This was the anime that got me into anime in the first place. It has adventure, spaceships and bad ass raged induced alien races that look like cats... Ah one word, ****inawesomo.
3. Tora Dora - The story, drama, and just light hearted love story that goes with this show is just incredible. I am usually not a big romance watcher, but this one cuaght me right at the first five minutes.
4. Utawarerumono - One word once again.
5. Clannad + Clannad After Story - I consider these animes one all together. Another great love story that my fiance got me to start watching. Loveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed it.
6. Cowboy Bebop - Another great anime.
7. Vandread - Funny...As...Hell
8. Eureka 7 - At first it seems to be a subtle mix of everything. Then it takes the show into something it can call its own.
9. Bleach - Seasons 1,2,3,5 amazing... Show has kind of gotten to fillerstuck for me to continue comfortably without worrying that next week were gonna see some lame completely unrelated bullcrap for a whole season again... Ah bleach, how the mighty have fallen.
10. DBZ - all the way up to the end of the Freeza saga... After freeza...we see very similar episodes every show.
