Pretty decent list you got there.

Ok, if you're going for the absolutely corny, but rather VERY fun series to watch, I highly recommend Gatekeepers; second corniest would be Read or Die OVA.

For in depth character development and some military/political drama, I would go for Gasaraki and Crest of the Stars (stay away from the Crest of the Stars dub; it's WORSE than the Love Hina dub).

Escaflowne is SERIOUSLY recommended since there's lots of geres within the series like mecha action, character development, romance, and so forth. X TV has almost the same things except it have mechas. Both series have very high animation especially for a TV series.

Noir is a wonderful series. It starts off slow, but if you watch the whole series and rewatch the first episodes they're more entertaining than they were before. Very well done series.

I'd have to say the Escaflowne series is the best. Don't buy the movie, though. I thought it was pretty bad, except for the soundtrack.

I personally enjoyed the Escaflowne movie greatly. The main reason I've heard of people not liking it is because they changed around the story and their favorite characters (including character designs) a bit. Also, the Ultimate Edition of the film kicks ass all over the place.

Ehh...I didn't mind it so much. It was alright. But the series is better, I think.

I'll comment on a few...But I won't say anything profound...

Big O - I only saw a few episodes, but they were good.
Crest of the Stars - I love it so much. The entire thing is good.
Escaflowne Series - I hated it because of the female main character...
Matantei Loki Ragnarok - Uh, this is a show for girls about a cute guy. I wouldn't reccomend it...
X TV the series - This is also for girls...

I saw Escaflowne the movie but since i haven't seen the series, i found it pretty good. Althouigh the graphics seemed a little bit unclear at times.... Maybe it was just the version i saw...who knows...
