Really good animes.

[Lavos]

Post some of your favorite animes here so I can watch them.

My absolute favorite I've watched recently at a friends house is Serial Experiments Lain. That is the best Anime ever imo.

[CyberTractor]

I'm watching Death Note on YouTube.

[NecroVale]

Saiyuki
Loveless

[zombine]

GUNDAM WING

I also watch full metal alchemist,but not as much, but GUNDAM WING

[kkief02]

Dears
Spiral
Gantz

[DJScythe15]

BLEACH - Good old fashioned hacky-slashy action with a nice punk style and a nice soundtrack
The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya - Jokes aimed at anime stereotypes with a quirky premise; an addictive ending song and a huge Pheonix Wright parody are icing on the cake
RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE Tsubasa - Interesting story featuring jumping between dimensions and tons of cameos from other CLAMP universes (Cardcaptor Sakura, Chobits, xxHolic, etc.)
Genshiken - The story of a bunch of college otaku, their club, and the people who put up with them

[AndyTheSkanker]

Full Metal Panic ftw =D

[Hawkaris]

Last Exile - Steampunk fun about some kids running an airship delivery service who get caught up in a great war.

Yakitate! Japan - It's like Iron Chef, only with lots of bread and even more puns.

Fushigi Yūgi - Two Japanese high-school girls get sucked into a book from ancient China, where they run the usual gamut of love, loss, and sacrifice.

Makai Senki Disgaea - Like the game, but with less turn-based strategy and more cut-scenes.

Anything by Miyazaki
Millenium Actress
Lain
One that I can't remember the name of, that was done by the same people as Lain, and was about a bunch of girls with angel wings sequestered in this walled town... it is very odd, and very good

I can't think of anything else

[Cake]

I can't believe Ghost in the Shell wasn't said yet.

[wilson_x1999]

-Sayonara Zetsubō Sensei
-Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann
-Keroro Gunsou

if you want to go classic and AWESOME:

-Captain Harlock and Galaxy Express 999... actually, anything by Leiji Matsumoto (except the Gun Frontier anime that one SUCKS)
-Lupin the 3rd
-Most of the animes from World Masterpiece Theater, most will make you cry like a little girl, and they are awesome. I love Alps no Shoujo Heidi, that was my very first anime.

[NachoManLance]

I'm a self-proclaimed sissy, so I watch stuff primarily aimed for quirky romance and whanot...

Favorites include:
Love Hina
Mahou Sensei Negima
School Rumble (awesome)

I also dig:
Trigun
Cowboy Bebop
Rurouni Kenshin
Yu Yu Hakusho
G Gundam
.hack//SIGN
Samurai Champloo
FLCL
The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya
Pokemon (FIRST SEASON ONLY! Second only if I'm in a goo mood for it, which is hardly ever)
Case Closed
Full Metal Panic? Fumoffu
Ouran High School Host Club
Evangelion (series + movie)
Witch Hunter Robin

..... >.> I was president of my high school's Anime Club

One that I can't remember the name of, that was done by the same people as Lain, and was about a bunch of girls with angel wings sequestered in this walled town... it is very odd, and very good

The anime you describe is called Haibane Renmei, and I've heard it's very good.

Everything everyone has suggested so far is very good.

The Obligatory Cowboy Bebop and Samurai Champloo suggestion,
Darker than BLACK,
Read or Die (the OVA)
Irresponsible Captain Tylor

Lavos probably wouldn't like them, but they're damn good anway:
Gankutsuou (probably too much gay for Lavos, but I liked it...)
Ouran High School Host Club (so damn funny)

[Misty]

Fullmetal Alchemist, Kurau: Phantom Memory, The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, and Bleach

[kkief02]

BLEACH - Good old fashioned hacky-slashy action with a nice punk style and a nice soundtrack

Bleach is indeed awesome. I thought of it, but I wouldn't recommend the English version because they messed up the voice acting. You should read the manga of Bleach too because the anime goes in a completely different direction... Yes I am obsessed...

[Anachronism]

Currently watching:

Bleach
Gundam 00 (I'm liking it better than Wing)
Monster (Slooow paced but good)

My taste in anime tends to lean towards more serious series with a touch of humor but there are exceptions.

I'm going to second these previous recommendations:

Last Exile
Full Metal Alchemist
Ghost in the Shell
Death Note
FLCL
Fushigi Yugi
Lupin III

...and add...

Hellsing
Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex (+ 2nd Gig)
Paranoia Agent
The Slayers
Rurouni Kenshin (the first 26 or so episodes)

Guilty pleasures:

Naruto Shippuuden
Trinity Blood
Trigun
Tenchi Muyo! (The original series)
Rurouni Kenshin (the latter episodes)

Will check out.
Lain is like the oddest most awesome thing evar.

[TimeCruiserMike]

i've yet to see a really good anime . . . you have ok anime like sonic x or the first season of pokemon . . somewhat tolerable anime like .hack or . . uh . . . the animatrix . . and then the rest i've seen is utter crap . . like yugio, the otehr pokemon seasons, or pretty much every anime on cartoon network.

most of what i've seen consists of horrible plots ugly art styles and poor voice acting.

That's because you haven't been watching anime. Cartoon network renditions are utter crap. For some reason, american tv networks seem to assume that anything animated will only appeal to children, so they water down some perfectly good shows to make them acceptable to show to children. Almost every english-dubbed anime I've seen has sucked hard, and I suspect most of them wouldn't have sucked as much if the spoken dialogue were closer to the original japanese meanings.
The only exception I've come across was Hellsing. The english dub wasn't bad, and considering the show was set in England, it didn't seem to take away from the show at all.

My pics:
Cowboy Bebop
Trigun
Bleach
FLCL
Haruhi
Initial D
Naruto
Hellsing + OVA's

I remember when I first watched SE Lain. The anime film club... thingy... at Camosun, with Bill & James and the rest. Everybody else went back to James' place for dinner, but I stayed and watched the series, then went home for spaghetti(my house was closer).

Been watching Record of Lodoss War, myself. Watched Death Note not too long ago, as well, and busted out the old FLCL to show my roommate. Every now and then I watch an episode of Texhnolyze(ASBURDLY FUCKING GOOD) and Elfen Leid(PRETTY FUCKING GOOD), and even Rurouni Kenshin(aka Samurai X). Been thinking about tracking down some Excel Saga and Macross Zero, as well. I like to rewatch animes I've already seen, I guess. D:

I'll take more reccomendations, I s'pose.

Oh, and I watch probably 70% of my animes off this site:
http://www.animeviewer.net/

[Lavos]

I've been meaning to catch elfen lied.

Boobs.

[Allen!]

Agreed. It's pretty good, if you ask me. Better than Bleach, that's for sure.
I could never get into it, really. That and Naruto, guh.

Berserk is another of my favourites. Probably in my top five.

[CyberTractor]

Anyone watch Robotech? My friend wants me to watch it. He has all the seasons, and I want to know if its good before I watch it.

[JesterJ.]

Dragon Ball Z.

[Spindizzy]

Best:
Hellsing (the manga, the TV series butchered it): Insane vampires, werewolves, nazi vampires, secret organizations, ultraviolence.

Death Note: Crazy set-up, it's like watching V for Vendetta, where you slowly realize how perfectly orchestrated everything is. Also, great psychological warfare.

Lain: Is Lain.

FLCL: Best described out of context. Two people fighting 15,000 feet in the air with laser guitars. A robot with wings and a halo, and huge jaws in his chest. An alien growing out of a main character's head.
