1) YU-GI-OH: This is an anime about a group of friends and their friendship 
lasting over 3000 thousand years. As well as their nemesis, whose hatred 
followed for over 300 thousands years as well. The monster designs are cool, 
and the card game is just pure genius.

2) Hunter X Hunter: The fighting scenes are very cool, and each character 
has unique personality. Another great work from the mangaka of the popular
anime work - Yu yu hakusho, only better.

3) Senkaiden Houshin Engi - the paopei (weapon) designs are purely 
innovative. Taikoubou is one of my favourite characters - he acts as though 
he's a loser and an idiot but deep inside he is cunning and always plans 
ahead. A modern sci-fi anime based on ancient chinese legend - what a twist! 
Excellent job by Fujisaki sensei.

4) Hikaru no Go (not sure if there's an anime for this): The character 
designs are good, and this is about character development, how Hikaru 
changed from not interested in Go to totally devoted to playing Go.

5) Meitantei Conan: Has to be the best detective manga - even better than Kindaichi Shonen Jikenbou. 
The characters are funny, and the mysteries are very unique. A great overall story. The opening themes 
and the ending themes have some of my favourties. 
6) Pokemon: This really got me into anime. The stories are funny and the characters designs
are pretty good. The movies excels any episode. Althought the anime tends to get repetitiv in
the story it is still good.

7) Rurouni Kenshin: Although the anime didn't have my favourite story arc 
(the revenge arc), the opening theme are also good 
.The fighting scenes are great. Each character has their own unique 
personality - especially Saitou Hajime.
 
8) Great Teacher Onizuka: Very intriguing. Reflects the darkness of modern schools 
and how teachers treat under-achieving students. Subtly suggests to us how teaching 
should be done. Story is often funny and the characters are unique.
 
9) Card Captor Sakura: The characters are funny, and has a pretty good story. A good 
anime even though it had been slightly edited from the manga.
Kero-chan is especially cute.
 
10) Starship Girl Yamamoto Yohko: A good anime which teaches friendship and teamwork.
The storyline got a bit gloomy towards the end, nevertheless still very exciting. Although 
slightly confusing at times.
