There are a quite a few out there.
My recommendations:
Cowboy Bebop It's episodic, so you can enjoy the various adventures of Spike, Jet, and company. There is also some backstory that comes up late in the show and makes the ending of this epic. Yoko Kanno's music also adds to it, and the OP "Tank" and the main ED "The Real Folk Blues" are awesome.
Ghost in the Shell(movie) IMHO, the best version of the story. Oshii really brings the question of humanity to the fore in this, and the visuals and the music are both top-notch. The TV series is very good with its own appeal, but the movie is more epic in my opinion.
Toradora! Great romantic comedy with realistic and ultimately likeable characters. There's more drama in the second half but the ending is a very good one.
Voices of a Distant Star. Visual masterpiece that is only 24 minutes long. Gorgeous scenery.
seconding Clannad
Galaxy Express 999 a series from the late 70s and early 80s. Explores the human condition via a train that goes from space.
Fist of the North Star an 80's classic. Warning: It's so MANLY that you may find yourself growing more chest hair. Kenshiro is one of the most GAR heroes ever.
