Just like the Movie and DVD threads. I know that I can't be the only one here that watches anime, so recommend any good ones that you've seen recently here. Also note how long the series is, whether you've watched it all the way through.
I'll start it off with two highly differing shows:
Haibane Renmei This show moves rather slowly. There's not a lot of action/adventure/romance or anything like that, but it does a wonderful job of setting up the world and the characters in it, how they interact and such. Kinda the genre's equivalent of easy listening or ambient music. I liked it, at least. (13 Episodes, I've finished the series. Watched w/subtitles.)
Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann This is the opposite. Very hot-blooded, quite funny, and way over the top. This show operates entirely on the Rule of Cool, Rule of Funny and having refuge in the sheer audacity of these. Fun to watch. Remember, whatever the biggest mecha you've seen so far is here, they'll probably show one twice as big within the next two episodes. (26 regular Episodes, 30 total. I'm about 7-8 Episodes in. Watching w/subtitles.)

Hajime No Ippo.
'Nuff Said.
Japan-only though, so you need to find a subbed version or learn Japanese.
