What's your top 10 anime?
Firehawk:
--- Quote from: Salis116 ---*Cowboy Bebop: Overrated story that could've been told in about 6 episodes if they'd cut out all the random episodic "Bounty-of-the-Week" and shroom-eating stories. "We're hungry!" "Let's go catch this guy and get a reward!" "Oh crap we saved the day but we didn't get the money and we're still hungry. Roll credits!"
*Full Metal Panic (I'm assuming the first series here) : As a romantic comedy, it fails because the comedy is all one-note "fish-out-of-water" and "Look what that crazy Sousuke blew up now!", and the romance goes nowhere (in the first series, or the three anime series so far). As a mecha action series, it's merely okay because Gonzo's poor pacing made the episodes that should've been exciting drag, plus some of the mecha "tournaments" make G-Gundam look like a serious epic.
*His & Her Circumstances: Starts out decent, but has more recaps than Wolf's Rain and goes into a spiraling freefall after episode 18, in the animation, story, and character department, all towards a cop-out ending that resolves nothing.
Gundam Seed: Tbh I haven't actually seen it, but I hear tell it's a cheap rehash of the classic Gundam 0079 series, only with angsty emo teens. (Or maybe that was GS Destiny?)
Basilisk: Why are fighting anime so popular? They're all the same. The plots are all boring. Where's the point?
*KgNE: Poor excuse for a soap opera with one of the most spineless male leads ever and characters that stand around whining for four episodes straight and then do things that make no sense. Plus with all those random other girls, it's pretty much saying "Hey this is based on a porno game but we took out most of the porno so if you wanna fap go buy the game you loser otaku!"
*Honey & Clover: Bunch of emo hippie college art students complaining about how they can't get some guy or girl to like them, or how aimless their lives are because they're in a dead-end major. At least it gets the Pedobear Seal of Approval thanks to Hagu-chan.
Jin-Roh: Haven't seen, can't judge.

Cowboy Bebop: It scores enough points to be on a top ten simply by having lead characters over the age of fifteen :P
Full Metal Panic: I dunno, I'll agree with you here, but maybe it's because I've read the novels as well that I enjoy it more?
Kareshi Kanojo no Jijou: Skip over the re-caps, and it's probably the best romance/comedy around. Only the ending is worth taking a shot at.
Gundam Seed: There was some painful-to-watch-angst, but the tone of this series was a lot like Gundam 0079, so if you liked Gundam 0079, you'll like Gundam Seed. I'd contest Seed is as good, if not better.
Kimi ga Nozomu Eien: Find me a "soap opera" anime that's better then :P The relationships in this series were a lot more realistic than many others, and the characters were all very round in their personalities.
Honey and Clover: Ignoring Hagu, there was nothing to dislike about this series, unless you hate emo hippie art students (perfectly understandable, I hate them in real life :P)
Jin Roh: If you do like all of the above titles as you said, then you probably have somewhat similar taste, and I'd highly recommend this movie - it was amazing. Takes two or three watches through to catch everything that's going on though :)
sloggerK:
So I just saw texhnolyze, and it made me reconsider my list.
Ghost in a Shell SAC (w/2nd gig)
Texhnolyze
Jin Roh - The Wolf Brigade
Noir
Voices of a Distant Star
Cowboy Bebop
So I've cut it down to 6/7 ATM.

Black Lagoon (although the parts where they talk English are pretty horrible. You can barely understand what they are talking about sometimes)
--- End quote ---
I love black lagoon, but must agree with you on that. It's the only anime that I think parts of might possibly be better dubbed because of that.
My list (and I am a relative anime noob):
Ghost in a Shell SAC (w/2nd gig)
Black Lagoon (w/2nd barrage)
Elfen Lied
Cowboy Bebop
Noir
Jin ROh - The Wolf Brigade
Voices of a Distant Star
Serial Experiments Lain
I've seen more anime, but wouldn't put it on a top ten list, even though I like it. So count the 2nd Gig and 2nd Barrage as the last 2 of ten, I guess.

lol tbh I always got a kick out of the characters when they spoke english. I also got a laugh out of the intro song. Same can be said about the intro and outro to berserk. For some reason I get a kick out of engrish.
Yamigami:
As a Renji Murata fan I should start the list with
1.Blue Submarine No 6 (Probably will be replaced with Windaria after I see it)
2.Last Exile
And then
3.Akira
4.Vampire Hunter D:Bloodlust(Kawajiri FTW!)
5.Spirited Away
6.Escaflowne
7.Cowboy Bebop
8.Wicked City (Kawajiri FTW!)
9.GIS
10.Iketeru Futari (Cos it's fun)
