One Outs, even if you don't like Baseball this show might change your mind.

Akagi, even if you don't like Mahjong this show might change your mind....

Kaiji, even if you don't like... rock-paper-scissors(?) this show might change your mind.

Funny thing. The main characters of all three anime is voiced by the same guy.

If you're looking for something with a lot of standalone episodes, Lupin the 3rd.

Some of my favorites which I'd recommend:

Neon Genesis Evangelion: if you haven't seen it, frickin' see it. A classic that revolutionized anime.

Cromartie High School: bar none, the most hilarious anime I know. It's a parody of the "tough guy" anime that featured delinquents from rival schools, but in doing so also has the nonsense comedy and humor-of-everyday-life that makes it the "Seinfeld" of anime.

Monster: great mystery anime with fantastic pacing, a lot of suspense, and masterful storytelling

Welcome to the N.H.K.: a dramedy about the hikikomori (shut-in) phenomena. It starts hilarious, but its ending is really touching and does a lot of good commentary about social issues. Also, the end credit song from the second half of the show makes me cry every time.

Sayonara Zetsubo Sensei: another good comedy that combines absurdity with everyday social commentary

Full Metal Panic!: a classic that combines sci-fi action with high school comedy. I'd mainly recommend the first season, because it strikes the best balance between those two aspects.

Black Cat: great action/adventure with a memorable cast of characters, creative settings, and neat action. Just a fun series all around.

I guess I could reccomend

Desert Punk
Kiddy Grade
Sgt. Frog (I really reccomend the Funimation english dub of the show)

[JRX]

Sengoku Basara - Imagine the Warring States period done by Capcom.
Gurren Lagann - Hands down the rebirth of Super Robots.
Space Runaway Ideon - The anime that Evangelion stole a ton of ideas from.
Area 88 - Some of the best dogfights you'll see. Period.
My Bride is a Mermaid - Very funny series. Pretty much it's the most bizarre shotgun wedding ever.
Eyeshield 21 - Easily ranks with Captain Tsubasa as one of the best sports animes ever.
