Here's the general bias of the people on the .org:

But DBZ unfortunately has the largest fanbase.

I agree with DBZ but only because it comes on Toonami right after school every day.
Madness and genius are seperated only by degrees of success.
I don't think necessity is the mother of invention - invention, in my opinion, arises directly from idleness, possibly from laziness. To save oneself trouble.

Evangelion is probably the best anime because it has such a variety of catagories: Comedy, drama, comedy, mystery and so on. Eva is one of those series that you cant watch over and over but is good to watch once every 3 months or so. DBZ has a big fan base, true, but it is mostly younger children and teenagers. This means they dont make as much in video sales. Toonami is already feeling the heat from the prospect of an Anime Channel, since DBZ is their only heavy hitter, they will probably get a few new animes but that wont help too much.

Meh, I'm not a big EVA fan. The ending kinda ruined it for me. That and I think Cowboy Bebop is a better microcosm of all genres (humor, action, drama, horror, etc).

I have hardly seen many anime shows, since I am a nebie (and not ashamed!) I like DBZ. I have seen Cowboy Bebop and a couple others, but not enough to even know the storyline. The only other anime(s) I have enjoyed in the past were Digimon and even earlier, uhh uuhhh, ..........pokemon, (takes deep breaths)

Alrighty, looks like you need SSJVegita0609's suggested anime viewing list (Now in Alphabetical order). Watching any number of these is likey to un-n00b-ify you, so listen carefully:

Akira

Berserk
Cowboy Bebop
Escaflowne
Evangelion
FLCL
Ghost in the Shell
Graves of the Fireflies
Gundam (any of them, uncut)
Hellsing
Inu Yasha
Jin-Roh
Kenshin (any of it)
Macross +
Ninja Scroll
Outlaw Star
Patlabor
Princess Mononoke
Spirited Away
Spriggan
Street Fighter II
Street Fighter Alpha
Trigun
Vampire Hunter D
Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust
X 1999
X TV
Yu Yu Hakasho

And that's a nice start, there are many more good ones too, those are just a few of my personal faves.

5.Gatekeepers

6.Nadesico
