Favorite of all time is definitely yu yu hakusho....honorable mentions are case closed/detective conan, naruto/shipudden, trigun, ruruoni kenshin, scryed, tenjho tenge, quite a few others but I can't think of them atm other than samurai chamlpoo and cowboy bebop was awesome, big o was okay I loved lupin the 3rd...most overrated anime of all time=dbz except the beginning
My number one favorite is, and most likely always will be, Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex. I feel like I've made 100 Top 10 anime lists the last few days, so I'm just skipping it this time. :P
It's hard for me to come up with a favorite although I suppose I'd have to say either Clannad/Clannad After Story or Akira.
Actually, let me take a minute to make special mention of Akira. If you consider yourself a fan of anime, Akira is a must-watch. The animation quality is excellent which is a true rarity for most anime as they usually cut corners in animation. The characters are well developed (especailly the main antagonist who you can actually sympathize with despite the **** that he starts pulling later in the movie) and the story is great although it is a bit convoluted imo (though when you consider that the creators had to condense a 2000+ page manga into a two hour movie that issue is forgiveable). The action also puts every shounen anime to shame. Unlike shows like DBZ and Naruto, the characters' fights are serious and serve a purpose. There's no filler battles where two characters spend half the time talking about how awesome they are and the other half yelling out the stupid names of the attacks they're about to use. Instead what you get is a somber affair where each fight actually serves to develop the characters involved.

I usually read my manga at www.onemanga.com and I was really surprised that they don't have the Akira manga on their site. I recommended that they add it, not sure if they did yet though.

Thats the girl from NHK in your avatar, right? That's a great anime!

This is what I've been trying to tell people all along. I mean, the opening bike scene is probably better than any other anime action sequence...maybe.
