Lodoss War is brilliant, Those Who Hunt Elves for humor and relief from the more sombre ones. Berserk is also brilliant, and Blue Gender is recommendable.
GTO (Great Teacher Onisuka) and Initial D is good for motor (and humor) fans.
Hellsing, like WoW said, is a very very good vampire anime!
Neon Genesis Evangelion is hard not to mention when good anime is brought up, and Ruroni Kenshin is also great (allthough really really really long...).
Dominion Tank Police (classic) and Apleseed are must see's.

Just a few things to note as I agree with most of this however...

Initial D is an excellent anime that has one of the single most god-awful dubs in the history of anime. For the love of all things anime, do not watch this in English. They even replaced the excellent M.O.V.E. soundtrack in the English version... Keep in mind this is coming from someone who prefers to watch most all anime in English wherever possible.

Neon Genesis Evangelion is good for a whole 2-3 episodes around the time Asaka is first introduced but the rest of the show sucks hard. Dual: Parallel Trouble Adventure > Neon Genesis Evangelion.

Also RaXephon sucks. Whatever genre you like within RaXephon, there are far far better shows for it.

Appleseed is semi-decent as far as movies go but the anime parts of it look really out of place with the CG. Pretty much anything done by Miyazaki will blow it out of the water in story and richness.


 Ah, I forgot. You're absolutely right, I downloaded the english dub first. It all took quite a while, several days infact. But the dubbing was so horrid that I deleted it and downloaded Japanese speech with kl. subs instead! Be warned!
