If you can find 'em , I strongly recommend some earlier series :
Captain Harlock, Cobra, Saint Seiya...

Well, lets see. I'm sure many people on this board would tell you that Ranma 1/2 is a comedy classic. I've never known anyone to not like it.
On a more serious note, Vampire Princess Miyu (both incarnations) is a good supernatural drama/horror show. Also, Escaflowne and Fushigi Yugi are classics in the fantasy field.
You really can't go wrong with any of those.

I would recommend...

Naruto - action, comedy, adventure, and a whole lot more
Fruits Basket - cute, comedy, romance
Azumanga Daioh - comedy

So many to recommend :D !! In the recent stuff, Naruto, FMA and Inuyasha are not to miss. However, IY and FMA are quite long, so settle with FMA if you like shorter animes (2 seasons). I also think that Samurai Champloo is well appreciated, although I am about to watch it, so I can't comment on it yet.

Then, a little older and more on the comedy side, you have Fruits Basket and Love Hina, Fruits Basket having a very strong storyline.

In the classics field, Escaflowne and FY are IMO not to miss. And as a CLAMP fan, I cannot forget to recommend X/1999.

If I had to settle with just one, I'd recommend FMA, everything in it is awesome : the plot, the characters, the music. There's action and comedy and drama and it's really good :), well IMO. I was very impressed and still am :wink: .

How could I forget Samurai Champloo? X| And Haibane Renmei! I'm glad you'll get a chance to watch it. It has really smooth animation and really good character designs IMO. /eyes:

ummm... My list could be quite long so bear with me. ^_^


-Outlaw Star - Spacey type "adventure" series, got action, and quite a bit of humour... definitely worth watching 26 eps.
-ArgentoSoma - Pretty good show here, wonderful character designs, i love Ryu Soma. Plenty of action, and all the alien butt-kicking you can stand. :P 25 eps.
-YuYu Hakusho - I think you can still find this on CN... my work schedule leaves me a lil time for watching CN anymore. =( The series is looong, but definately worth checking out. Lots of action, though the 1st couple episodes are a lil slow... but once Yusuke meets up w/Botan things get a lil intresting. worth checking out.
-Trigun - Sci-fi, western, action-comedy anime at it's best! :P Ya can't go wrong with Vash and Wolfwood. 1/2 of the series is a lil more 'light-hearted and fun' for lack of better terminology, second 1/2 is a lot more series. ?? eps (i don't own the series yet. :P)
-Anything from Studio Ghibli/Miyazaki - Miyazaki's work is just fantastic... my favorites so far have been Castle in the Sky and Nausicaa, but they are all, SO SO good, 1/2 my anime movies so far are from Studio Ghibli.
-Ghost in the Shell - Wow, this movie is just amazing. Good action, good story. Gotta love the Major.
-Jin-Roh: the wolf brigade - A modern retelling of Little Red Ridinghood, in its most basic form... but so much better. Good animation, killer designs, great story.
-Cowboy Bebob : the movie - I'm guessing the Cowboy Bebop in your list was the show?? If ya like the show, definitely want to see the movie, its just as good.

There's more... but I won't list, i'm sure i could go on and on. hehehe ^_^ good luck, hope ya find some more anime ya enjoy watching. =D
