Macross Frontier. Can't hype it or the music enough, though it does suffer a bit from the typical anime approach of "we're only going to give you the real plot when we're damn good and ready for it."
Trigun's one of my all-time favorites. I don't know if Vash is more Stupid Good or Chaotic Stupid, but a lot of inspiration for paladin characters could be found here.
And if you want just about every cliche of anime combined into one series simultaneously, there's Magic Knight Rayearth.
Also, any D&D fan who watches anime needs to see at least one version (OAV or series) of Record of Lodoss War, the series actually based off of its creator's D&D campaign.

Here's some I like (in no particular order):
#Beserk
#The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumi
#Paprika
#Gantz
#Burn Up Excess
#Lucky Star
#Record of Lodoss War (of course)
#Excel Saga
Actually, I just recently discovered there's a third series (or OAV, I'm not entirely sure) based on the Record of Lodoss War that's out now. Not sure if it's any good, though.

Wow, didn't see this thread. I feel ashamed. I started a club in College, and it ranks as my second highest hooby (since D&D is actually easier to share, and I have to pay for my D&D stuff).
I cut my teeth back in the day on:
Ranma 1/2 (I've read enough fanfiction of that to not only fill a library, but permanently warp my views on gender roles and relationships)
Blue Seed
Evangelion
Magic Knights Rayearth
Record of Lodoss War
Oh My Goddess
To name a few, that just gives you an idea of time period. Yay for having a friend in high school who blew his entire disposable income on anime all the time.
But the years roll by, what do I watch now? Not as much as I read manga, but still a lot.
One Peice
Bleach
They are my Noble Masters
Soul Eater
History's Strongest Disciple Kenichi
Rental Magica
Tower of Aegis
etc.
Game inspiration wise, I've been trying to figure out a solid system for a Devil's Fruit template (ala One Peice). That and a "weapon/meister" system from Soul Eater. Good stuff.

Wait...how does Mookies abomination qualify as anime?
Did they ever make the manga Kurosaki Corpse Delivery Service into an anime?

What's the one with the big robot and the blonde ninja lady?
Big O? Maybe Giant Robo?

Ok anime fans, jist as an FYI Crunchyroll is now streaming subbed anime straight from the creators legally, your milage may vary dependant on region but its worth going to to show support for the creators as well as support what should be a decent method of international entertainment distribution.
No matter what I do with that last link, it's not working for me.

The Tower of Druaga I think is definately worth a watch if you are a fan of fantasy anime. Of course you'll want to start with the first part, the Aegis of URUK.

Hadn't heard of Xam'd: Lost Memories, Tetsuwan Birdy Decode 02, or Kuroshitsuji. I'll definitely check them out. I played the Tales of the Abyss game so I wasn't that interested in the anime. I stopped watching Bleach because of the Boundt saga. I like Darker than Black the couple of episodes I saw and I liked Fist of the North Star, but I need money to get the DVDs. I also liked Kurozuka and forgot to add it. Also forgot Shikabane Hime

Boundt Arc, like most filler suck. The current arc, Turning ack the Pendulum, takes place 100+ years before the start of the show. Gives you a good look at Soul Society, the captains, and vice-captains, those who would be the Vaisord, at that time. Plus you get to see Aizen go from sneaky vice-captain to what he is today.
Though my problem is I feel filler episodes on the horizon.

Woot! Its time for new shows to begin. Ones I have my eyes on already, other than the new reboot of Full Metal Alchemist are Asura Cryin', Pandora Hearts, and Guin Saga.
I'm still trying to get my mind around how a new FMA storyline is going to work.

My favorite animes are the Legend of Crystania, Rune Soldier, Record of Lodoss War, Slayers, and Le Chevelair Deon. Pretty much just fantasy.

Catching Vampire Hunter D and Robot Carnival while staying up late turned me onto it, as did that one obscure short they used to show on Liquid Television. Someone will know what I'm talking about. The one with the racing and the ghosts?
Wow, I remember watching Vampire Hunter D and Robot Carnival back-to-back on TBS as my first exposure to anime too, and I know the short you're talking about but don't know its name. (The Cake song The Distance always makes me think of that video.)
I was a VHS junkie when I was in junior high school so I actually recorded Vampire Hunter D and Robot Carnival while I was watching them for the first time.
My next exposure was going to Blockbuster and renting anime (because they were the only place around here that had it at the time). I rented Akira and my friend rented some other crap I don't remember.
I'm a sucker for half- monsters so the anime I like presently is Inuyasha. I also liked Wolf's Rain a lot when it was on. I love how the end is the beginning. Enjoyed Big O too. I think it's neat that Cartoon Network co-produced the second season of the series with the original production company because the show was canceled after its first season in Japan without a finale.
I remember renting the Guyver series and watching them. I'd be interested in seeing the new Guyver.
I'm tempted to buy random anime at my local video store just to try it but it costs too much for me to go sampling like that.
I always wanted to watch more Read or Die: The TV but I only saw a few episodes here and there. I think being able to control paper like that is cool.
