I like how this thread just turned into a thread for praising Cowboy Bebop. I'm with you all in the "Cowboy Bebop is amazing" opinion-field.
I'm not going to make an account on this site because I truly do not have the time. So...
Anime I Like: Cowboy Bebop, Trigun, FLCL, Samurai Champloo, Escaflowne, Outlaw Star, Paranoia Agent, Fullmetal Alchemist, and Ghost In The Shell.
I Will Always Hold A Small Place In My Heart For: Dragon Ball Z, Speed Racer, Yu Yu Hakusho, Excel Saga, and Mobile Suit Gundam.
The Akira manga is pretty great, so if you're one of those people who adore the movie, check out the source material.
