Am currently watching: Gunslinger Girls
Am currently wishing: All little girls the best of luck in their lives.
Samurai Champloo is bad ass. FLCL is one of my personal favorites. X/1999 is one of my absolute favorites as well. So is Escaflowne (ESPECIALLY Escaflowne). Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex makes up for the 2nd rate GITS movie that came out several years ago.
Also noteworthy that I didn't notice mentioned above:
Scrapped Princess
Vandread
Stellvia of the Universe
Chobits
Haibane Renmei
Hikaru No Go
Edit- Eva, in my opinion, is grossly overrated. I personally feel that people who call it their favorite do so because they haven't experienced much else.

Yeah, that last part about Eva, I disagree. Incredible story line. However, this opinion is coming from someone who isn't very fond of Anime.
Edit: When it comes to animation in general, I much prefer the humor involved in american cartoons, very good use of the medium. Anime can be "cool," but rarely does one find much of a mind blowing story. If anyone here understands what I mean by mind blowing, in the sense that Evangelion is, please suggest a series that is up to par, or better. Maybe then my disposition towards anime as a whole will be a little more open minded. I've just been exposed to some really crappy anime, like Raxephon, Inuyasha, that wolf one, etc. The adult swim ones mostley. FLCL was cool, I only saw two episodes, very bizzare, but not much else. I'm a junkie for more psychedelic-minded media, Evangelion as a good example. I watch movies/shows that are either really good, and serious, or really crappy and retarded, so Pi would be a good example of the former, and Plan 9 from Outer Space, a good example of the latter.
