Anime
Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann; "X": I've seen some
FLCL; "X": kinda wish for more
One Piece; "X": love the series but wish the anime had remained consistent with its American voice actors. The season in which they travel "up" has COMPLETELY different voices.
"X": Personally, I'll add BLEACH and Naruto/Shippuden

Manga
Hot Gimmick; "X": I consider it a guilty pleasure
Genshiken; "X": I know the premise but have never indulged
Love Hina; "X": sounds familiar
"X": I'll add the .hack series and I know there's something out there other than Ultimo.

If I were to suggest an anime to watch, I think my picks would be:
Baccano; "X": Awesome
Beck; "X": I really couldn't get into this
Rurouni Kenshin: Tsuiokuhen; "X": Tsu... ioku... hen? Is that new?
Paranoia Agent; "X": This is nearly as weird as FLCL and Boogiepop Phantom
Ouran High School Host Club; "X": I don't know that I'd call this a guilty pleasure

Also, if you're looking for a Movie to watch:
Steamboy; "X": I've heard of this but can't seem to find it for rent and I don't want to buy it before I've watched it.
Lupin III Castle of Cagliostro; "X": I wasn't really a big of fan of Lupin III.
Never watched the One Piece Dub, only ever kept track of the fansubs and that always remained consistent =]

I could never get past the first season of Bleach, I like to read some recent chapters now and again to see how the characters are (like what has happened to Ishida and Ichigo etc).

The Rurouni Kenshin Tsuiokuhen (better known as Samurai X in english) was a series of OVAs telling the story of Kenshin's past and how he became the person he is before the events of the Anime series. It has some really beautiful animation and well choreographed fight scenes. It balances between serene nature and emotionally driven fights very well.

heh, Yeah FLCL and Paranoia Agent are pretty weird, I've wanted to try watching "Dead Leaves" since that seems pretty weird too, but I've heard mixed reviews about it and I've not been swayed enough to go out of my way and watch it yet.

Steamboy is somewhat reminiscent of the Studio Ghibli way of story telling (in my opinion) so if you're a fan of those movies, then you'll probably be a fan of this.
