Black Lagoon: it's modern-day pirates on the South Seas. One part Michael Bay, one part John Woo, one part Peckinpah. It's like Patton Oswalt said about Jason Statham: "You won't learn shit about the human condition, or feel a collective connection with the brotherhood of man. But if you (watch this show), (it) will fuck an explosion while a Slayer song plays".
Oh yeah, watch the dub.
Also great and not-yet-mentioned: Detroit Metal City. It's a wacky comedy about a guy who love pop-folk music but is untalented at it. What he IS talented at, though, is death metal. Hilarity and vulgarity ensue.
So far this is the winner.
I guess my tastes are ecclectic enough that its really hard to define what i would like. Looking at the selections i listed, it ranges from serious action drama, to bizzare cultural comedy.
To those that suggested the big Shonen series like Bleach, One Piece, and Naruto... i really dont have the time or patience to sink into a series that is longer than FMA Brotherhood and FMA combined. I did that with Kyou Kara Maou and i got lost in the series for a solid 2 months.
Also its cost prohibitive to watch a licensed series that is more than a box set large.
Just gonna reiterate: I find One Piece and Naruto pretty unwatchable as anime. One Piece is mind-blowingly long and boring, and Naruto's adaptation is hella mediocre. Don't dismiss the manga though, if you enjoy adventure at all.
You in the U.S.? Bleach is on Hulu. (Though that still leaves the length concern.)
I'll also throw out www.crunchyroll.com Just sorta go through what they have (pretty limited) and see if something catches your eye. It's free for the most part and its 100% legal. They have a pay system for something I dunno if it's old episodes or certain series, but it's worth a look.

While looking for a restroom in SF I almost wandered into their offices.
That's not really relevant, but it was pretty weird.
