I am a man of many hobbies, one of which is watching anime and reading manga on occasion. I've enjoyed it since I was 8 years old and watching Dragonball Z on Toonami. Since then I've watched quite a few more things.
Favorites include:
Cowboy Bebop Spirited Away Hajime no Ippo Gunslinger Girl Another Aoi Bungaku The Samurai X Miniseries Tsuiokuhen
And others that don't come to mind right away. Who else enjoys anime, and what ones?

I used to be into anime when I was younger but not so much lately.
My favs in no particular order- berzerker (sword of the berserk) inuyasha rorouni kenshin samurai champloo dragon ball z yuyu hakusho gundam wing full metal panic demon lord dante tekkaman blade cashern
However I've been an amateur for about a year writer for doing japanese manga and western comics.
Odee from yahoo answers is another writer but he's an artist too doing his own whole book by himslf that looks pretty sic & I wish I had his art skills lol but I need artist's for all my stuff.

I have no art skills. I used to draw pretty well as a kid, but I got in trouble for drawing in class too often which made me feel like the pursuit of getting better was actually a bad thing.
Hopefully Odee joins!
A lot of your list I enjoyed as well, but just doesn't make my favorites for various reasons. Rurouni Kenshin, for example. It was good, but after watching Tsuiokuhen I just don't understand how Kenshin went from a quiet badass that actually knows how to speak to a Yoda wannabe wearing pink.

I can't say I'm a fan of too many anime's. I love cowboy bebop. I loved dragonball z growing up. Any of you guys watch the street fighter series? That one was pretty good.

I liked a few on your list too but I'm a big fan of action. And I only watched a few episodes of rurouni kenshin and the coyboy beebop movie so I don't know much about them. I liked hajime no ippo too but I know it as fighitng spirit so I didn't know what you were talking about & did you know the dempsey roll is actually real? do you ever watch any tokusatsu or henshin? @kw- yeah I was a big fan of everything street fighter for years lol & I hope your not talking about this one are you? www.youtube.com/watch?v=wVLxGtUXp9c&feature=endscreen

Eh, not my kind of thing. I do occasionally read Manhwa, though. Annarasumanara was great. That's about as far from anime as I deviate, though. No crappy J-Rock or J-Pop or anything like that, either. I'm just an anime fan. Video games, too, but mostly anime.

Korean comics. Like I said, Annarasumanara was great. Check it out if you're curious and want to see the art differences.

It's not an action or anything. It's a very dark story and a drama. It's quite good. But it's also quite weird, and very slow and character focused. I can understand if it's not up your alley. I loved it, though.
