1 #1: Slayers SLAYERS

Whatever you're looking for, Slayers has it. It is probably the most diverse show I have ever seen that still manages to keep a coherent plot going on in the background. It can be silly, dark, bloody, funny, serious, action-packed, or completely random, and it never ceases to entertain.
Lina Inverse, the heroine of the show, is unlike any other girl in anime and truly does take center stage.

2 #2: Bleach BLEACH

A series that gets exponentially better as it goes along, the story snowballs into mind-blowing revelations and shocking plot twists. The TV series follows the manga very closely and even expands upon it. The world, the powers, the fights, and the story arcs are amazing in themselves, but what impresses me the most is how many fascinating characters you can fit into one series.

3 #3: Berserk BERSERK

Set in medieval times, the TV series is basically one long flashback that sets up the rest of the manga. It is dark, serious, brutal, addicting and one of the greatest cases of character study/development in anime. Griffith has one of the most complex, charismatic, and powerful personalities I have ever seen. It completely eclipses everybody else in the show. The manga itself is even better, and a true Wiccan revisionist dream!

4 #4: Yu Yu Hakusho YU YU HAKUSHO (Poltergeist Report)

Yu Yu Hakusho has not only some of the most memorable characters in anime (Kurama, Hiei), but also some of the most impressive fight scenes. Most of the longer story arcs follow a very linear tournament setup, which I enjoy because it gets to the fighting faster. But if that's not enough for you, there is enough drama built up between opponents to make you care about what's happening.

5 #5: Senkaiden Houshin Engi HOUSHIN ENGI (Soul Hunter)

Taikoubou is sent down to Earth in order to stop the evil Dakki who has seduced the Emperor of China to obey her every whim. He soon realizes it is too much for him to handle alone and goes on a quest to win powerful allies over to his side, some by force, some by cunning, some by sheer cuteness. There's some great characters and fights in this anime.

6 #6: Angel Sanctuary ANGEL SANCTUARY

Angel Sanctuary has a promo OVA out, but it does no justice to the actual manga. The manga is not only much more in-depth and notably different, it also goes far faaar beyond the OVA. The series is a twisting moral rollercoaster that's guaranteed to make you rethink the nature of good and evil by the time it's through. It'll blow your mind, man!! O.o Also, Lucifer is really unbelievably hot.

7 #7: Naruto NARUTO

The world, the bloodlines, the character designs, the various powers are all superb. The fights are heavily laden with stimulating strategy. However, at around episode 100 the series inexplicably starts to kill itself. Sasuke runs away, Orochimaru disappears, Kakashi is barely around, Shikamaru doesn't do anything, and last I heard Gaara is missing. All the interesting characters are gone.

8 #10: Blade of the Immortal BLADE OF THE IMMORTAL

Manji, a skilled fighter cursed with immortality until he atones for his crimes by killing 1,000 evil men, decides to help Rin avenge her family's deaths at the hands of the Itto-ryu sword school. It is an odd mix of Japanese feudal culture, political intrigue, gratuitously bloody fight scenes, and morbid humor. There are many things you can do to a guy that can't die.

9 #8: Inu Yasha INU YASHA

Inu Yasha is basically Ranma 1/2 remixed into a supernatural world and given an ongoing plot. Inu Yasha and Kagome are on a quest to find the scattered pieces of a magical jewel and restore it before it falls into the wrong hands. The story arcs get darker, the battles get bloodier, but it can get repetitive since there is primarily only one villain (Naraku) in the entire thing.

10 #9: X/1999 X/1999

Although I love the concept of X, and the manga was very pretty, it drove me insane and I stopped collecting it ("if they repeat that same damn flashback one more time..."). As it happens, the manga is on indefinite hiatus right now, but that didn't stop people from making a movie, OVA, and a TV series speculating on how it'll end. I love the TV series and the characters are wonderful.
