The first one had much better music and a more serious feel to it. The second has a more interesting and less convoluted story and is much more violent.

also looks like from about the 5th episode onwards there dont seem to be any dubs for it (for Ultimate that is)

1. Soul Eater
2. Samurai Champloo
3. Hellsing

All three of them are awesome and worth checking out.

First of if your brand new don't pick a series like Bleach, Naruto, Sailormoon, Dragon Ball (Z), One Piece heck any series with episodes numbering in the 100's. Start with a movie, Akira or any of the Studio Gibili(sp) are prefrebable (note Akira is very much a condensed version of 1000+ page comic made for its fans who already knew the plot, but it is a traditional gateway), these will introduce the artstyle and conventions better than jumping into the middle of a long running story. Then you really need to think what it is that intreasts you. Look for a mini-series of about 12/13 episodes in your chosen Genre. If I was going to recommend at this point I would say look for FLCL (very pathonesque with its nonesequiters) or Parionia Agent which is series of stories about people with messed up lives and how there lives are turned around by a brutal assualt. Then look for a 26 or 52 episode series such as:
Evangelion, RahXaphon (both these series have very confusing endings and require mutiple viewings)
Excel Saga (very much a nonsequiter gag show)
AzuManga Daioh (very much a sketch show)
One of the solo Gundams such as Wing and Seed (avoid seed destiny, the main charecters from seed are replaced and its just not as good)
The Vision of Escaflowne (Gundam but in a fantasy setting and most excellent)
Full Metal Alchemist (not seen but I hear its higly recommended)
(Note: Avoid any movies based on a longer series as they are genrally either retellings and thus full of spoilers or epilogues/subtales and thus difficult to understand.)

Now your ready for one of the longer shows, Bleach is good but avoid the filler arcs with avengence. Others to consider are Ranma 1/2, Naruto, Pokemon (if you can stand it), One Piece, Sailormoon, theres litteraly hundreds of these long running shows and you'll find supporters and detractors for each one. Though a universal truth for all of them is that filler arcs are chud.

Hope this helps.

((Edit: Avoid Urosukidoji and La Blue Girl unless you want to fap and/or be mentally scarred for life))

this with the addition of outlaw star and vandred both have great dubs and both have everything from action to just fucking hilirious
Also i cant stress this enoth AVOID FILLER!!!!!!! its horrible, makes no since and tends to piss people off!(some exceptions but untill i can figure out what episodes those are i cant tell you which)

Well since your new to anime allow me to broaden your horizons.

Kuragehime
Tokyo Magnitude 8.0
Tegami Bachi
The Tatami Galaxy
Summer Wars
Pale Cocoon
Time of Eve
Ristorante Paradiso
Robot Carnival
Gunsmith Cats

These are my top ten based on storyline, setting, concept, "genre smashing", and/or being just plain awesome. I guarantee you will find all of these online. Except for Gunsmith Cats it's been a pain trying to find it with english subtitles.
