Ooh, tough one...especially since I always have troiuble wondering whether to include movies, and how to compare how much I like a one-shot or short OVA compared to the glories of a 26-episode series. Not necessarily in this order, since once I get pas the top two, they fluctuate with my mood:

1. Fruits Basket, my true love.
2. Excel Saga, my naughty bit on the side
3. Tsukikage Ran, the funniest samurai tale ever.
4. Rune Soldier, comedy Dungeons and Dragons style.
5. Galaxy Angel, madness in space.
6. Dragon Half, only two episodes but almost as brilliantly wacky as Excel Saga. Way, way!
7. Read or Die/ R.O.D. the TV, I wanna be a paper master
8. Comic Party, if the US had stuff like this I'd never have stopped cartooning
9. Azumanga Daioh, probably on everyone's list somewhere
10. Eyeshield 21, wish they'd do a US release, darn it!

I don't read Manga nearly as much, but am fond of these ones I've read:

1. Fruits Basket, for beyond-the-seriesness
2. Excel saga for beyond-the-seriesness and alternate-universeness
3. Pet Shop of Horrors for beyond-the-seriesness and yaioish cuteness
4. Death Note for sheer coolness. I'm on #3
5. Yotsubato&! a worthy successor to Azumanga Daioh

Those are the only ones I remember especially liking, though I did read several others, briefly.

UPDATED: 12/12/07

1. Serial Experiments Lain.
2. Fruits Basket.
3. Full Metal Alchemist.
4. Neon Genesis Evangelion.
5. Death Note.
6. Cowboy Bebop.
7. Elfen Lied.
8. The Vision of Escaflowne. (The series that got me into anime)
9. Excel Saga.
10. Azumanga Daioh.


I changed the order many times since it's really hard to decide the ones closer to the bottom. I still haven't finished Azumanga Daioh so it might go up depending how it is.

[Split Second]

1. Death Note FTW
2. Azumanga Daioh. (Has a bizzare crush on Osaka)
3. Yu-Gi-Oh The Abridged Series. Does anime parodies count? Well, this one is so popular it just might. When Season 2 of this comes out I'm going to have a nerdgasm.
4. Black Lagoon. (Also has a masochistic crush on Revy)
5. Hellsing.
6. Berserk.
7. Golden Boy An erotic comedy. (Always wanted to say that)
8. Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni. Cute anime characters periodically go insane and beat each other to death with blunt objects.
9. Great Teacher Onizuka.
10. The Tenchi Muyo franchise. Actually not that good, but still my tenth favorite because of nostalgia reasons.

[yagsnave]

Well I've only read one manga beginning to end, so I just tossed it in with the animes. Ironically, it's the series that finally dethroned Eva on my list.

1 Deathnote (manga)
2 Evangelion
3 Excel Saga
4 Elfen LIed
5 FMA
6 Cowboy Bebop
7 Rahxephon
8 Bleach
9 Samurai Champloo
10 FLCL

Haven't watched the full DN anime yet, but enough seems to be lost in the transition it would probably land at #4.

[jopojelly]

heh, My list is so different than everyone else, so I'll make it right now, let's see....

Anime:
1. Urusei Yatsura -- funny how about 100 hours of anime barely even animates half the Manga's storys.
2. School Rumble -- suprisingly funny and silly
3. Cowboy Bebop -- a standard for any new anime fan.
4. Ranma 1/2 -- some weak filler, but just as good as the manga
5. The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya -- yeah, still good, even if everyone else likes it.
6. Azumanga Daioh -- simple innocent humor
7. Excel Saga -- complex humor?
8. Sayonara Zetsubo Sensei -- dark humor, and numerous parodys.
9. Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni (+Kai) -- oddly captivating, mind-tingling
10. Mermaid Forest -- immortals are always interesting

(Runner-ups -- Lucky Star, Kimagure Orange Road, Nodame Cantabile, Gankutsuou: The Count of Monte Cristo, Great Teacher Onizuka, Planetes, Black Lagoon)

Manga:
1. Urusei Yatsura -- Rumiko Takahashi is amazing
2. Nausica? of the Valley of the Wind -- epic, beautiful, captivating.
3. Ranma 1/2 -- Rumiko Takahashi is amazing
4. Meremaid's Forest/Gaze/Scar -- Rumiko Takahashi is amazing...see a pattern?
5. Maison Ikkoku -- again...Takahashi wins.
6. Love Hina -- a standard read for any new manga fan.
7. Kimagure Orange Road -- old, but still classic
8. Ichigo 100% -- heh, i know
9. Pretty Face -- no one knows this one, hehehe
10. Rurouni Kenshin -- yeah, something had to go here.
