Fang of the Sun Dougram.
It doesn't get half as much credit as it should in North America.
Escaflowne and Patlabor TV rank way up there for me, too.
I haven't really seen much of the modern stuff that clicked for me.
...nothing I would publicly admit to watching, anyway.

The latest one I am watching is Sakurasou No Pet NA Kanojo.
And RWBY, but that is actually made here in the states. And technically not anime, but inspired by it and video games.

An alphabetical list of my current favorites. I have added youtube links to the titles as "mood pieces" to provide those interested with something to accompany the text description - mostly AMVs, sometimes a teaser or the opening.
Attack on Titan
The setting for this anime is a future Earth where, owing to the appearance of cannibalistic humanlike giants and the subsequent downfall of civilisation, society has regressed into a quasi-medieval state, trying to survive by hiding behind massive stone walls built to keep the titans away from the city. The heroes of this show are a band of young soldiers of its army, using one of the few pieces of remaining technology - gas-powered cable-harpoons - to fling themselves across the landscape and outmanoeuver their lumbering foes. Aside from the interesting choice of characters (it has been said the three main protagonists embody the human virtues of mind, body and spirit, depending upon each other to survive), the series also features impressive, CGI-backed visuals and a powerful soundtrack.
Black Lagoon
This show follows the ragtag band of seafaring smugglers/mercs/pirates calling themselves the Black Lagoon Company, based in the Thai city of Roanapur, a veritable hive of scum and villainy. Making their way from one dangerous job to another, the crew generally just wants to stay alive, but regularly sees the odds stacked against them as they try to remain neutral in the complex web of Roanapur's underground. Mostly dark and gritty, the show also features a number of lighthearted moments. And lots of swearing by manic gunbunny Revy.
Black Rock Shooter
A rather unusual anime in that the entire idea evolved out of a random vocaloid character, the show still works by presenting a series of action-heavy sequences located in a weird parallel dimension as being directly linked/mirrored to events and people in our real world. Cleverly, this anime also employs two subtly different styles of presentation by having everything in the so-called Otherworld rendered as cel-shaded CGI, whereas things in the real world are drawn in more traditional technique. Apart from this interesting detail, it is also an emotional story about friendship and the fragility of the human mind.
Bubblegum Crisis/Crash (the original, not the crappy remake)
A staple of oldschool cyberpunk, this show channels a lot of Bladerunner, although it could technically also be counted to the mecha genre as the powered armour worn by the all-female quartet of futuristic mercenaries during their fights against the shady megacorporation Genom and its Terminator-like robot army is a central element of the series. Also notable is the small series of official music videos that accompanied the episodes; the voice actor for team member and part-time rock singer Priss is also a singer in real life.
Canaan
A short series about an orphaned teenage assassin with the gift of synesthesia and her naive acquaintance, who gets pulled into the former's dangerous world as the duo has to face terrorists with a bioweapon, a ruthless CIA cover-up operation and Canaan's own dark past. Lots of pistol-wielding action.
Cowboy Bebop
A sci-fi story set in a future where mankind has spread across the stars, distant colonies connected via a series of jumpgates, but where Earth was ravaged by an apocalyptic accident that led to an overall decline of centralised government and rise of crime on the frontier worlds. The protagonists of this anime that combines science-fiction with elements of wild west and film noir are bounty hunters, continuously troubled by the question of where to get their next paycheck as well as latent friction between the individual crewmembers of the titular gunship Bebop. Worth watching for the atmosphere alone.
Ghost in the Shell (1st movie and Stand Alone Complex + Solid State Society)
Another sci-fi classic, this show follows the missions of the fully cyberised Motoko Kusanagi and her human team of fellow Public Security Section 9 operatives as they tackle terrorists and conspiracies threatening Japan in the 2030s, whilst also touching upon topics of transhumanism, weighing the obvious advantages of a fully prosthetic body in combat against the disadvantages in terms of social life and personal identity. Fans of Shadowrun will probably love the matrix-interaction, too.
Kill la Kill
An epic revenge story about a young girl avenging the death of her father, filled to the brim with exaggerated, fast-paced action and the occasional lighthearted slapstick plus a ton of naked skin and hidden meanings. Directed and written by the creators of Gurren Lagann, fans of the latter will quickly notice some familiar themes, though the centerpiece of this show's plot is clothing and its meaning for humanity.
K-On
Slice-of-life comedy and a guilty pleasure of mine. The show focuses on a bunch of young girls who play in a schoolband and are confronted with various challenges such as finding a new member or preventing their public performances from becoming too chaotic. Aside from the endearing characters (in personality, design and voice), this anime is notable for the many catchy songs you'll get to hear over the course of its two seasons.
Nichijou
A crazy and nonsensical comedy series full of random humour. Ostensibly slice-of-life, it takes everyday situations and plays them up by hilarious exaggeration (example)
Patlabor
A fairly recent discovery for me personally, this is what I am currently watching. A classic 80s style mecha show that stands out from the usual fare by being not about some alien invasion or other big war, but rather a small police unit and its everyday job, by combining said job with regular "slice of life" snippets, and last but not least by featuring a posse of rather diverse and lovable characters.
Planetes
A "hard sci-fi" show about an orbital salvage crew tasked with removing the space trash surrounding Earth. Mostly episodical with day-to-day challenges, the latter half of the series also uses the construction and launch preparation of a manned mission to Jupiter as a recurring element. Counselled by the Japanese Space Agency, this anime is notable for an unusual degree of scientific accuracy and confronts the protagonists with a variety of challenges expected from life in space, from psychological stress all the way to radiation sickness and long-term effects of low gravity. Bonus points for featuring a truly multinational crew with an American pilot, a Russian engineer, an Indian clerk, and the two Japanese EVA workers.
You can actually learn some stuff here!

Don't forget Ghost in the Shell: Arise.
A "prequel" focusing on the formation of the squad we know and love. Netflix has three episodes so far- I recommend them highly.

I liked Soul Eater myself. Not really into the Fan Service, which it had plenty of, but for some reason the other humor and the basic tone of it caught me pretty well.
Currently watching Nura: Rise of the Yokai Clan, and I really like it and the manga tied to it.
Just started reading and watching A Certain Scientific Railgun, it's.... holding my interest but I'm still iffy on it.

Just started reading and watching A Certain Scientific Railgun, it's.... holding my interest but I'm still iffy on it.
There are 2 seasons of Nura - I personally like the second more.
The railgun is a sidestory of A certain magical index, if you dont know it. I prefer 1st series of Railgun because it is more centered on daily life/judgement of the 4. 2nd series is too much centered on the railgun alone and the arc you have already seen from the index series perspective, so it feels deja-vu.
@Ice Tray: Escaflowne!! YEAH! One of the best, despite the noses. Also I got hooked on the voice actres/singer the first time I heard the song. Still my favorite singer. But Maaya need more Kanno songs, Kanno always got the most out of her voice.
Claymore - Fantasy with heavy Sword Action and a touch of politics
Elfen Lied - for getting shaken
No Game no Life - that one is really really funny, and feels fresh, but the Fan Service is of the "too obvios to be fun" kind.
Full Metal Panic - Yeah, Kaname and the problem soldier in his "mech". And you just cant help to root for the little captain of the big submarine
Mai Hime / Mai Otome - school/magical girls: first one mythical second one more SF, I really like the (bit weird) settings, in the Otome esp the "political" side of the plot
Attack on Titan - this one stands alone in its setting with dark hints
Fate series - Depending on Mood I might actually like the Magical Ilya most, Very funny. I adore the idea of the wands fed up with their masters. That had me chuckling for days.
Steins Gate - no mech, sorry, just a micro wave and time travel
Code Geass - the end of the 2nd feels strangled
Guilty Crown - bit disturbing
mirai nikki - the same
Legend of Galactic heroes - its old and has the old animes problems, but it is a unique setting. And long
NGE except the end
Sword Art Online
Inuyasha - japanese historical Fantasy so to speak. that half is just cool! I wanna touch his ears!
Outlaw Star
Ghost in the Shell
Noir - assassins, one of the most silent leads ever
Kara no Kyokai - a bit magic, a cool lead with Maayas voice and Kalafinas music in the ending credits.
Monogatari series (Bakemonogatari etc.) - stands for itself, too. Best tsundere ever!
Scrapped Princess - nice setting here, too. A "princess of destruction", but what will she destruct? Thats the question.
Valkyria Chronicles - the game (1) was realeased on steam btw.
Zero no Tsukaima - tsundere harem comedy with magic
Arakawa under the bridge - comedy with very strange characters. Also Maays speaks the lead
Why has no one mentioned Isekai no seikishi monogatari? It even centers around tehb power of "mechs"
and a few more I cant think of right now
And since I am a bibliophile
Bungaku Shoujo - I adore Tohko. I want to write her a snack and see her reaction ^^ The books are all very thrilling and you never know what is real until the end.
toshokan sensou (library wars) - one of the most illogical settings I have ever seen, but it revolves around libraries adn free speech, so I am hooked.

On that note, however, I am curious how this will be:
And then of course there is that announced live-action project ... but since this one involves Hollywood, I just prefer to ignore it. Mark my words, nothing good will come out of it - Hollywood seems hell-bent on re-imagining other peoples' works right now, and I have yet to see even a single example of where it turned out well.

*nods* I admit I am slightly biased against it, as it does not fit in seamlessly with what I understood of the series' continuity. Kusanagi's younger appearance also feels at odds with her role in the military (unless this was intentional for infiltration purposes, but then the series did a bad job of explaining it).
I prefer the 1st one, too, but not because of the link you mentioned, but rather because the 2nd season is a lot darker than the 1st. Frankly, I liked the series most when it was part slice-of-life comedy, part action.

Hm, OK, that too. I sort of connect both things.
Oh yes, Hollwood. I read that some blonde Hollywood Star should play Kusanagi. Ah here, WP! Scarlett Johanssen. Even if you ignore her current hair color she does not give the image I have from Kusanagi.
I take the anime. It has the best voice actress anyway. (did I mention I am a Maaya Fan?
) Even if I would not have take her as nr 1 for that role.
