I second the nods for KareKano/His and Her Circumstances and Cowboy Bebop. Fantastic all the way around.

Something CLAMP might be good too - maybe Magic Knight Rayearth (but ignore the OAVs here), Cardcaptor Sakura, or Angelic Layer for starters. You can move on to darker stuff like X if you want - the TV series is better than the movie.

For comedy, Slayers, Excel Saga, or Kodomo no Omocha.

If you want an OAV, Oh! My Goddess is sweet. I liked the first El-Hazard OAV a lot - I think it was simply called El-Hazard: The Magnificent World.

Miyazaki movies are always good, too - Spirited Away, Princess Mononoke, and Kiki's Delivery Service are good bets.

A few safe suggestions to try next: Tenchi Muyo, Ranma 1/2, Fushigi Yugi, Magic Knight Rayearth, Cowboy Bebop, Utena.

If you're in the mood for something very different: Serial Experiments Lain, Haibane Renmei

I personally love Chobits to bits! The ending is a bit blah, but the overall content makes up for it.
