Concerned with the amount of really poor CGI "cartoons" with even poorer storylines being made in the US etc I began looking for traditional cel animation and anime came into my life.
not to burst your bubble, but anime nowadays isn't made with Cels. It's all CG now, and the stories do leave a lot to be desired now as well. YOu'd be safer with older shows (as the Dubbing companies had the tendancy to filter shitty shows out before releasing anything. Nowadays, it's whatever is out gets brought over, which leaves a lot to be desired, since production costs are really low with CG compared to Cel animation, so any company can release anime in bulk. It waters down the system and worse story lines can be released.)
As for my personal favorites at the time:
Trigun
Cowboy Bebop
Nadesico
Outlaw Star
Full Metal Panic
Berserk
Gundam 0079 movies
Mezzo Forte
Dragon Ball Z
Hellsing
Tenchi
and I just got done watching which is a total mindfuck anime, but rather interesting.
