Let's see...
FLCL - Qurky, weird, take it too sereous or try to make sence of it and your head will explode.
Tenchi Muyo! GXP - Not bad for a low budget animated sitcom. It's a little lewd even compaired to other anime sitcoms, but part of the fun. Only seen the first 3 DVDs, as that's all that is state-side.
Full Metal Panic - Just past the fifth DVD on this one, so far so good. Mecha battles are decent but it's the character interaction that makes it fun to watch.
Akira - Some how they managed to make violence and bloodshed boring. The first time I saw it all I remembered was someone screaming "Tetsuo!" Followed by "Kaneda!" many times.
Compressing a muilti-volumn manga into a single movie is a bad thing (Akira Syndrom).
Ghost in the Shell (movie, havn't seen the series) - Not only does it suffer from Akira Syndrom, there are other major flaws in this. The quality of animation is good, but that's about the only good thing about it (yes, I have read the origenal manga, and yes, I can back up my point).
Macross Plus - Very good. The movie has a better presentation, though the OVA adds a bit more backstory.
Hellsing - Very good; it has the same feel of the origenal Dracula book, and has one of the best endings I've seen in an anime series.
Bubblegum Crisis 2040 - Fun to watch the first time through, the ending kinda falls flat.

Whole series. Saw Hellsing when they ran it on the Action channel last year; some day I'll buy it.
