Remember, I can only watch so much, I only have a couple of months before school kciks in
Samurai Champloo. Only one season of about 26 episodes but if your considering FLCL (6 eps) which is also very good then I could not recommend Samurai Champloo high enough. Is my second fav anime.
Wow. Nobody's even mentioned the wonder that is
VALKYRIA CHRONICLES
The anime.
It's fun, funny, action-packed, and just plain enjoyable.

You'd be hard pressed to find a 200+ episode animé that retains it's quality. I'm not keen on Naruto or One Piece at all, and I felt Bleach rapidly decline after the first 50-60 episodes. Unlike most of the people here, I'd say don't watch Death Note. I thought the manga was brilliant, but felt the animé was a bit overdramatied and harder to take seriously.
If you want my opinion for good animé, I'd list FLCL, Gunslinger Girl, The Melancholy Of Haruhi Suzumiya (looks a lot more clichéd than it is!), Trigun, Ghost In The Shell: SAC. I'd definitely try all of those.
I'd recommend Gantz if you just want some "dumb fun". Lots of gore and stuff. But don't expect depth. If you don't mind romantic comedy, you could give Chobits a try. I detest romantic comedy, even in animé, but I found Chobits watchable, and it's probably as good as romantic comedy will get xD.
Lastly, if you don't mind being depressed, give Elfen Lied or She: The Ultimate Weapon a watch. Both I found extremely engaging and interesting, but ultimately very upsetting. I'd still highly recommend them as well.
TLDR;
Watch FLCL, Gunslinger Girl, The Melancholy Of Haruhi Suzumiya, Trigun, Ghost In The Shell, Gantz, Elfen Lied and She: The Ultimate Weapon

I would but I can't stand subs.
I'm watching the whole original series at the moment.
As for advice, the only 200ep plus one I can think of is DBZ, which is great. If you like guys with unnaturally large muscles shouting and spending 8 episodes charging up one attack only for them to realise that the universe has been destroyed.
But in all seriousness DBZ is great.
Howl's Moving Castle, My Neighbour Totoro, Princess Mononoke and Spirited Away are all good ones.
