I must be the only one in the world who couldn't stand Cowboy Bebop. It's hard to explain why not. It felt like it was trying too hard but spread itself too thin, which is funny considering it was a short series.
I started watching anime with a bootleg DB tape. Not Z but the original DB, in Japanese. It was an episode from during the first tournament. Imagine my surprise when about 2 years later they started showing DBZ and the characters that I saw a couple years before were the same ones in DBZ, but older.
Of course, at first, I didn't know that anime was Japanese. It took me until I was about 9 years old to understand that Americans didn't make DBZ or Sailor Moon.
Here are a bunch of them that I liked:
Yu Yu Hakusho
Flame of Recca
Ranma 1/2
Silent Mobius
Tenchi Universe
No Need For Tenchi
Ganbare Goemon (I loved the Goemon games)
The Slayers
Rune Soldier Louie
Space Pirate Mito
Casshern (the original, where Casshern was badass, not the one where he's emo)
Gatchaman (also known as Battle of the Planets and G-Force)
Hunter X Hunter 2011
Jojo's Bizarre Adventure 2012
Kirby: Right Back At Ya!
Black Heaven
Desert Punk
GTO: Great Teacher Onizuka
Cromartie High School
Persona 4: The Animation
Inazuma Eleven
Sakigake! Otokojuku
Riki-Oh
Project A-ko
FLCL
Dragon Quest: Dai's Adventure
Grappler Baki, the movie and the actual series
Shootfighter Tekken (similar to Baki)
Slam Dunk
Midori Days
G Gundam
Mobile Suit Gundam 0079
Fairy Tail
Law of Ueki (manga was 100x better though)
Dirty Pair Flash Mission 1 and 2 (Mission 3 was lame to me)
Original Dirty Pair
Saint Seiya (I started re-watching this recently)
Shadow Skill
Zenki
Love Hina
That's not even scratching the surface. I find myself not liking most anime now because it's censored to hell and back. Every time something violent happens in Japan, the censorship gets worse. JoJo's Bizarre Adventure and Hunter X Hunter find some cool ways to get crap past the radar without being crazy with it.
