    Some of my favorites are:

    Fullmetal Alchemist (and FMA Brotherhood)
    Natsume Yuujinchou
    Blue Exorcist (the manga)
    Fruits Basket (the manga)
    Naruto (not sure why)
    Ouran High School Host Club

    So sure I'm forgetting many, so I'll edit if I remember.

    I can't believe I forgot about Full Metal Alchemist (and brotherhood). That's an amazing series.
    Thanks for listing the manga. I've been running out of things to read.

    DBZ was my introduction, and still one of my favorites. I love Guyver, and Witchblade. And Samurai Jack, even if it's not true anime.

    Started on Sailor Moon. I'm not watching any right now since the anime bubble burst, but some of my favorite anime are Magic Knight Rayearth, Azumanga Daioh, Cromartie High School, and the first half of Death Note.

    Ok, so I've never "gotten" the appeal of anime. I'm not really a fan of cartoons in general, so maybe that's part of it. But this seems like a good place to ask- what is it about anime that you like so much? What appeals to you? What am I missing?

    The first half of Death Note, before that heart-wrenching event mid-series? Yes, I know what you mean. But I still continued watching *addicted*.

    At the suggestion of some of my classmates I started watching Attack on Titan recently.
