There's a bunch of them. I'll try to keep the list short:
• Escaflowne - I'd chase Merle to the end of the world until she married me.
• Dennou Coil - I'd be happy to start my life at about 5 years old in that world, preferably in a family of reasonable wealth so I'd grow up in a school with all the best toys.
• Ghost in the Shell - same reasons & circumstances as Dennou Coil; there are a lot of cybernetic enhancements I'd consider.
• Otome Youkai Zakuro - any one of the three male leads; they all hooked up with enchanting women, none of whom I would be unhappy with. If I could stand in for Ganryu Hanakiri, I'd grow a pair, man up and marry both the twins.
• Simoun - any Simoun pilot; I'd finally get to resolve some nagging, gender-bending questions about myself.
• NANA - A stage hand/groupie/roadie for the Black Stones. I spent several years as a recording "engineer" for various bands and clubs, capturing live performances and then helping to get the recordings properly edited. I'd totally like to hang with the Black Stones, maybe even help them keep their shit together and not self-destruct.
• Arakawa Under the Bridge - I'm pretty sure this is actually a documentary; I've lived under some pretty psychedelic, Bohemian circumstances, and that community feels like home in many ways. While Nino is certainly the obvious catch, I rather adore P-ko ... so any character that she would totally fall in love with. If only I was as cool as the Mayor, that would solve the issues quickly.
• Hen Semi | Hen Zemi - another documentary. I could just be myself as a ~20-year old university student and fit right in, probably as some sort of tortured artist type.
• Sora no Woto - I'd like to geek out with and marry Noël Kannagi. We'd be frighteningly dangerous as a research team in that world. But, then there is Rio ...
• ΠΛΑΝΗΤΕΣ | Planetes - I'd be a very happy man to just be a professional working grunt in space; anywhere from high Earth orbit out to the Lunar reaches, or even the asteroid belt.
• Cowboy Bebop - I'd find Ed and marry her. Much like Planetes, just to live in a time where the entire solar system is available to visit and explore, cybernautically and physically.
• Miyori no Mori, Mushishi, Natsume, Nurarihyon no Mago, Yozakura Quartet, Spirited Away, Inu x Boku SS and a bunch of similar style worlds. Living in world where I could interact with spirits as a congenial, "normal" way of life, even be a spirit-human half blood, that would be totally fun & exciting. Wouldn't even care about any huge, amazing superpowers. Some small, subtle ones would be enough ... that, and being a samurai-level weapons & open-hand combat expert.
