My favorite anime of all-time is Cowboy Bebop. I've seen both dubbed and original versions.
My second is Outlaw Star, which I've only seen dubbed.

Fruits Basket has grown to be an extreamly popular manga now. O.o
As written by Wiki since I suck at explaining things -
Fruits Basket follows the life of the student Tohru Honda, recently orphaned when her mother, Kyoko Honda, was killed in a car accident. After that, Tohru lived with her grandfather, but when remodeling is needed on the house, Tohru resorts to living in a tent and holds down a job to support herself. Despite suffering many hardships, Tohru remains her optimistic self.
One day, Tohru comes upon a house in the forest that she is temporarily living in which is the home of Shigure Sohma, Kyo Sohma, and Yuki Sohma, of the Sohma family. When the Sohmas discover that Tohru is living in a tent, they are quite surprised by her inner strength. The entire area is Sohma property, and Tohru pleads to live upon the property in her quaint tent (affectionately dubbed "her castle"). Feeling sorry for her, and desperate to end their days of filthy living conditions, the Sohmas offer her their spare room in exchange for cooking and housework. When her tent is buried that night in a landslide, burying her mother's picture and school clothes, she has no option but to accept.
Tohru soon discovers the Sohma family's secret, and the reason why Yuki is so private and secretive: thirteen members of the family are possessed by the 12 animal spirits of the Chinese Zodiac ("Jyûnishi" in Japanese) and the spirit of the cat who was left out of the Zodiac according to legend. They transform into animals when hugged by the opposite gender, or when they are under a great amount of stress. When she promises to keep their secret, the Sohmas allow Tohru to keep her memories rather than hypnotically erasing them, a fate that had previously befallen anyone not on the "Inside" of the Sohma family who had discovered the secret.
The story follows the lives of Tohru and the Sohma family, as they deal with each other and a society where neither quite fits in, as well as the feared Akito Sohma, head of the Sohma family.

Sounds like it'd be a good manga. I probably wouldn't watch it though, if it doesn't have explosions, guns, or action I become less interested in it .

Yeah the anime isn't to interesting but it's fun to read while you're waiting for math class to be over. =P

I get all the time in the world to read in my classes. >.< Most of my teachers have no backbone so they can't stand up to the students in my school. It's kind of sad...
Some more :
x Hellsing x Witch Hunter Robin x Sailor Moon {Yep I said it!} x Inu - Yasha x Juuni Kokki {Twelve Kingdoms}

Witch Hunter Robin was pretty cool. I only saw a couple of episodes, but it seems like a good one to watch all the way through.
I used to watch Sailor Moon when I was little but not anymore, I must have been out of my mind back then or something XD.

I don't particularly have a favorite, I try to watch any anime they show on Cartoon Network. If I knew how to use bit torrent I'd definately download some anime, unfortunately I don't know how it works =/

You don't really have to download anything. If you go to youtube.com and search for an anime title there's a good chance some kind member has uploaded a few episodes. That's how I watch Ouran High School Host Club. =P
