I’m not a big fan of actual “super-production” anime (if we can name them this way, eg. Naruto, Bleach, etc). I preffer high quality anime like… Evangelion, Perfect Blue, Ghost in the Shell, Gantz (mmm… yeah) and now I can’t remember more.
And the my favorite ones:
-Mecha: Eureka Seven, Gurren Lagann, Evangelion
-Cyberpunk: Ghost in the Shell, Ergo Proxy, Serial Experiments
-Racing: Initial D, Wangan Midnight, Speed Racer, Oban Star Racers (it’s a space race), and my favorite Redline (it’s the most epic and amazing anime movie I ever seen)
-Accion: Cowboy Bebop, Steins:Gate, Elfen Lied (I saw it before it was cool), Black Rock Shooter, Girls und Panzer, Space Dandy (I love it), Aoki no Arpeggio
If we talk about old animes, I would love to talk about two “american animes”: Megas XLR and Super Robot Monkey Team Hyperforce Go! Nothing especial both of them, but really cool to see. Megas XLR is just about a mecha from the future that appears in our era, found by a Floridian fat guy, tuned like a hot rod and drove like hell. Kinda funny.
The Robot Moneky isn’t well know as other series, when actually the plot is really amazing… and DARK.
