Even though I would never do this under normal circumstances, I was bored to hell and back so I decided to do something drastic and watch an anime. Never done that before, so I just stuck to one I knew one of my friends watched to see what it was like. Full-Metal Alchemist.
I must say I was stunned. Out of every single form of entertainment media i've experienced, the plot line behind this was the most enjoyable. I watched all 4 seasons over the course of three days and I still love it.
So in the end, I'm thinking maybe anime isn't that bad after all.  |

Although not a fan of anime full metal alchemist is one of my favorites. I also happen to like The Avatar.
Whatever you do though, never watch Dragonball Z. They spend the first 15 minutes of the show recapping the last episode then spend another 15 minutes talking and showing goku running down a path. It takes like 6 months for a fight to happen. |

Congrats on popping your anime cherry. I recomend the following if your interested in continuing to check out anime:
Cowboy Bebop Outlaw Star Ghost in the shell Stand Alone Complex Neon Genesis Evangelion
I would also recomend you look at this site to get a general feel for various titles and to read reviews. -------------------------------- To borrow a phrase:

Well, the good thing about anime is they you only need decent animators and half-decent voice actors instead of good actors, good make-up artists, good special effects guys, good... well, you get the idea. Bottom line, there's no reason to NOT watch anime, especially since "anime" nowadays is as far away from cartoons and as close to actual movies as it ever was. Sure, some still suck, but there's plenty of awesome anime out there.

I recommend Cowboy Bebop. I dare call it the anime equivalent of Firefly 
 Frigate racing is fast and fun! |

This. These 4... Plus Trigun, are definitive watchings. Neon Genesis Evangelion will make you SHIT.
And you'll be all "what the hell" and you'd have to watch it about 3 times just to replay that part where EVA-02 gets ripped to bits.
Good times.
Edit: And Elfen Lied, also good times. |

Full Metal Alchemist is a very very good series, but there are plenty which match or exceed it.
Congrats for getting past the reputation the Internet has given anime. As Akita points out, there is no reason not to watch any anime at all, as there is something for pretty much everyone.
BTW, Eva is overrated, try Rozen Maiden once you are a bit more desensitized to anime wackyness |

I watched the first episode of FMA, but thought it was a bit rubbish. Is it actually worth continuing with then? |

Imma just messing, I wouldn't recommend RM to anyone new to anime, too wacky, they'd just be like "WTF?". I know I was when I first watched it.
OP should actually go here and here.

Well I didn't see it in English, but I heard it had a good dub? Either way don't let a poor dub stop you from watching an anime. |

I would recommend watching dubbed version over subbed, if you like having your ears ****d violently and want to feel embarrassment over the bad quality of voiceacting. |

That show starts out so cheesy but it really grows on you.
Cowboy Bebop as being pimped is a good recommendation.

I am dating myself with the 1st and last of these, but these are 3 of my favorites.
Yu-Yu Hakusho (A little kiddey if you get the TV edited versions) Cowboy Bebop (as listed above) Akira
Here is a pretty good list I found of series
Animation is great and the Japanese have a nack for quality animation and good stories.

If anybody says FMA is a bad dub they haven't seen 99% of the dubs out there, it's one of the best.
You've also got to watch Ghost in the Shell.
