Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann - Would highly recommend this
I have never enjoyed an anime like I did this one, the last act with the Tengen Toppa itself - I had to perform the Heinrich maneuver on someone chocking due to laughter on their own saliva when this happened.
Last Exile - you must.
Code Geass - real robot mecha, drama and thriller series that is likely going to be the successor to the Gundam franchise, definitely post 9/11. Also has the British Empire as the hegemony of the world and is the rebellion in Area 11 (formerly Japan) against its conquerer. Occasionally called the bastard child of Death Note and Gundam SEED
Melancholy of Suzimiya Haruhi - Eccentric genius with ADHD with an obsession with Aliens, Time travelers and ESPers is god, created the universe and no ones told her yet. Series is brilliant and o beautiful artwork.
Full Metal Panic - Mecha show, action comedy. Not much to add but its done by Kyoto and a good laugh, especially Fuffumo.
Neon Genesis Evangellion - You just have to watch this, people still talk about it 15 years on for a reason, it is yet to be surpassed as the epitome of its Genre.... Mind**** God Mecha in a war of survival.
RahXephon - Just a hairs breadth behind Neon Genesis, truth be told if this came out first this is what would have been talked about not Eva.
Black Lagoon - Mafia devil may care shoot everything with a dark plot, similar to GitS on quite a few levels.
Higurashi - I cannot describe this well. Psycotic, hardcore thriller with lots and lots of blood. Just watch the first few eps on Youtube to see if its your thing, I found it draws you in well, if you like Elfen Lied this is your kind of thing.
.hack/Sighn - A broken individual with no real memories trapped inside an MMORPG, unique and a beautifully well done series.
Others are;
Cowboy Bebop
Gundam SEED
Full Metal Alchemist
Trigun
Elfen Lied
Trigun
Crest of the Stars.
That should keep you entertained for a while

Reaper, those are just the ones that spring to mind after reading what he has read 
It isn't too bad - anime is better than most of the crap coming out of the US at the moment.

Haruhi, [...] & Deathnote for the collective win.
Elfen Lied is what a 12 year old with a fascination with blood would make. I was caught between disgust and laughter at how bad it approached some subjects. If you like this then you probably have Wrestlemania posters adorning your walls and Jerry Springer Boxsets displayed proudly amongst the other brick-a-brack an intellectually disabled people might accumulate.
I feel that I have learned something about those who dislike EL.
Funny, I thought this exact line about the mecha genre....
Gawain - it was a plot development to stop it getting stagnated, thats all.

Here's a couple that even Kirjava may not have heard of.
Blue Drop
Juuousei
They're good if you've run out of other stuff to watch.

I love threads like this, gives me so much new stuff to look into, chears

Pardon me,but where do you guys watchg all these animes, i assume torrents,but where do ou download them?
Well, if you want torrents, a certain swedish site is the first call of port. Otherwise veoh or youtube for testing them out.
I just use Veoh, i cba to download them. 
It's much better quality if you torrent them though.
Indeed, but even when ordering ice cream one requests a sample of the more exotics before buying a tub
That said, the single best episode of Haruhi - All ships CHAAAAARGA!!!
Note, the series is a bit like Ghost in the Shell, a few arcs that are standalone in their delivery.

*Spews 20 tons of molten nerd rage in BlazeRage's general direction*
Actually, wasn't there supposed to be a Haruhi season 2 coming out this year? What happened to that?
Kyoto animation. They are working on finishing up the Clannad afterstory methinks, then they decide on Haruhi series 2 (when it starts getting less slice of life) or Full Metal Panic series 3/4 depending on how you judge Fuffumo.

Kyoto dosen't do Originality, it sees Visual Novels and Novels and adapts them.
I know where they are going with her brother "Mister Silver" and "Mister Gold" is going to make things.... interesting when they decide to do it. Truth be told I'm surprised it was Imagin as opposed to Kyoto that did Spice and Wolf.... Second Raid is only the setup to the rest of the plot, FMP is just getting started up if they plan on doing the whole Novel series so I am told.

I just finished watching Death Note. Wow. Bleeding fantastic.
I don't understand why everyone compares it to Code Geass though. There's a vague resemblance between Lelouche's and Light's personalities, and the protagonists' companions are both addicted to some form of food. That's about it as far as I can tell.
Just as Planned 
Incidentally, today's Geass was... shiny.

Basicly the Exile was a colony ship from Earth. Eventualy the first war happened and the 2 nations smashed each other back to the stone age. The Exile sat between the 2 factions in the storm, controlled by the Guild who were descended from those that originaly crewed the ship as opposed to had passage.
End of Last Exile, the 2 factions take the ship from the Guild (which only had technology based on Exile) and took power from them. The series is sci-fi post apocalypse in the end
