I like most stuff on Adult Swim. Most stuff. I really don't care for Witch Hunter Robin or Wolf's Rain, but I'll always like ATHF and SeaLab 2021. Sure, some of the episodes are lame, but they really do make up for it.
Other Shtuffs (American)
Invader Zim - My introduction to JCV's work. Still love the style, and to this day I get chuckles just thinking of the dialogue.
South Park (after the first season, before the current season) - Has it's moments. I enjoy the episodes that are more satire than shock value.
Red vs Blue - Not quite animation per se, but still chock full 'o goodness.
Other Shtuffs (Anime)
Serial Experiments Lain - To this day, possibly my favorite television show. Ever. Animated or not. So delightfully confusing... it will blow your mind and make you think twice about using the internet. It's fun to theorize about the nature of the story.
FLCL - Another one of my favorites. Bizarre and hilarious even if you don't understand the Japanese symbols. The best part of the show is that you can read as much or as little into it as you want. Many elements of the show have double meanings.
Neon Genesis Evangelion - The only mecha anime that can last for 24 episodes and still have a plot. Eva really got me interested in religious mythology. It's a wonderfully disturbing (and pseudo-sacrilegious) story filled with oodles of angst and characters you love to hate.
Boogiepop Phantom - A seemingly unrelated collection of random events involving encounters between "special" children and (a) strange being(s) called Boogiepop (Phantom). You would have to see it to understand. Sometimes disturbing. Several suicides.
Cowboy Bebop - Just a damn good show. It's blends the best of comedy, drama, and loads of action with fascinating symbolism.
Trigun - Haven't seen all the episodes, but still enjoy it. I finally saw the last episode last night... extremely touching. Yeah... that Rim (Rem?) person... she was SO Jesus.
