I'm a huge anime fan. I also vastly prefer it subtitled. A few of my favorite titles, in no specific order,:
Cowboy Bebop, all of the Gundams except Gundam X, Lain, Mononoke, X, Berserk, Record of Lodoss War, Wings of Honneamaise, Ghost in the Shell, Card Captor Sakura, Evangelion, Martian Successor Nadesico, Candidate for a Goddess, Patlabor (the tv series), Gasaraki, Perfect Blue, and lots more I can't remember. And to those who don't like anime I'd just like to point out: Most of you are talking about a specific genre of anime. There is more variety in anime then you can find in American Cinema. Don't watch DBZ or Ninja Scroll and assume it is all like that. They play crap on TV, most of which has been horribly dubbed and edited. Assuming that all anime is filled with violence, sex, and oddly colored hair is like assuming Schindler's List is like Indiana Jones because they had the same director. Think about what genres of movies you like and find a store that specializes in anime rentals and ask them for advice. Unless you just hate animation or subtitles you will probably enjoy it.
BTW for those interested in the more realistic side of mecha and robots check out Gasaraki.

Edit: Forgot to mention, Dragonball is not that bad of a series if you watch it the way it was meant to be watched, not the horrible sliced up Funimation version they play on TV. Its actually funny, much like the manga it was based off of.
