Anime Recommendation?
scott:
One of my favorites. Trying to watch Brotherhood as I know the ending is supposed to be more accurate, but it's hard to watch the beginning as some of my favorite scenes have been changed even though it's virtually the same. Somehow, I prefer the animation/look of the original while Brotherhood looks a little simplified. Maybe Brotherhood matches the visuals of the manga? (I haven't gotten far enough in the manga to know.)

I love Brotherhood, it seems to have more badassness to it than the original series. It follows the manga, much, much closer too (and has more Barry the Chopper!)
climhazard:
Pretty much everything @scott mentioned I would recomend. Outlaw Star, Cowboy Bebop and Ghost in the Shell are some of my all time favorites. Hellsing is quite good, the Ultimate OVAs are better and stick more to the manga's story than the original TV series but they are both good. Almost anything by Gainax is pretty good. Neon Genesis Evangelion is really good if you can manage to deal with the mind screw plot. As are FLCL, Gurren Lagann and Nadia and the Secret of Blue Water. There are a few more I could recommend but that should give you a pretty good start.
scott:
Oh ya I forgot to mention Neon Genesis Evangelion, on of my favs but you totally need to pay attention to what is going on. Neo Ranga is pretty good too.
desocietas:
If you want to go the darker route, there's always "Lain" and the Twin Peaks-ish "Paranoia Agent" by Satoshi Kon (both are short series).

I haven't watched a whole lot of recent anime(currently only watching Kaiji season 2), but here's a few of my favorites (I'll just ignore the whole "that would be similar to one of these" part :P) :
Great Teacher Onizuka
Akagi
Kaiji (it's really slow at points but it's really good)
Detroit Metal City (it's super short but damn funny)
Abenobashi Mahou Shoutengai (Magical Shopping Arcade Abenobashi)
FLCL
Baccano!
Cowboy Bebop
Excel Saga
Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann
Welcome to the NHK!
I've seen over 300 anime series (yeah, I used to have no life) so I might be missing a few, but those are probably my favorites (ignoring One Piece since that would be way too damn long to watch all of it from the beginning).
