look out! Ninjas!:
The new Haruhi series is pissing me off massively. They're repeating the same episode over and over, with some superfluous changes, and it's incredibly annoying. But, the episodes are individually of such a high standard that I can't help but watch and enjoy, and then angry up afterwards.
Also, I found the Bebop OST1 in an anime shop and bought it, twenty Australian dollars. Brilliant stuff, works almost as well as a CD as it does as backing music.

I haven't been watching as much anime as I used to. I've been through Eureka Seven probably 5 times and love it every time I see it. Xam'd is along a very similar line, but half as long. I watched it all online since the only other place I ever saw it was downloads on PlayStation Network. I always was a big fan of Gundam Wing (I have a thing for giant robots). A friend of mine turned me on to Eyeshield 21. It's pretty funny if you like the idea of a skinny little Japanese boy playing American football at a Japanese high school, but I can't find the episodes for it online anymore. I've watched almost all of Gantz, it's pretty weird and not very long. I prefer my anime in the 25-50 episode range (Eyeshield 21 has over 100, though). I feel it's a good length. People tell me I need to watch Robotech, but I get overwhelmed by its mass.

I'm going to go ahead and say it and then get burned by the Miyazaki fans....but I thought Ponyo was very dissapointing.
For me it lost points from the get-go because the art style is so painfully simplistic and isn't even presented in a way that would make it acceptable. After watching Spirited Away, Princess Mononoke, and Howl's Moving Castle reverting to such an art style really destroyed a lot of the visual charm that makes Miyazakis films so unforgettable. The characters are, for the most part boring and in the case of the young boy at times very annoying. It's also a straight kids movie. There really isn't a lot here that the older generation can really pick up on and really enjoy. I might watch it again and I'll let you know if I still really dislike it.

So, yeah, I know I'm bumping an old-ish thread, but I didn't want to start a new thread just for myself.
I got into anime thanks to the 4Kids dub of Yu-gi-oh. I know 4Kids is the devil, so overlook that a bit. Right now I'm trawling for recommendations based on the stuff I've liked from my sparse experience so far (I prefer dubs to subs, unless said dubs are of famously bad quality):
Death Note
Code Geass
Paranoia Agent (Somehow, I absolutely loved this)

Hahhahahaha Yeah, that was a hell of a serie. But the last one is worth it, I liked it.
