Wowza...What a great show Cowboy Bebop was...

Moody, dark, but with humor when it needed it...a great, memorable and LIKABLE cast of characters...ultra-bada$$ fight scenes, of the gun, hand-to-hand, and spaceship dogfight varieties...and the music! Jesus...chills every time.

DragonBall

One Piece

Saint Seiya

Black Lagoon

Fist of the North Star and Jojo's Bizarre Adventure.

 

Yup, those should easily be on any shonen aficionado watch list.

One of my favorite Anime that I think has a lot to offer is Ghost in the Shell.

 

My suggestion: Start with the Movies (Ghost in the Shell (feel free to watch the 2.0 version, not much was changed except the visuals), Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence), then move into the TV show (Ghost In the Shell: Stand Alone Complex, Ghost In The Shell: 2nd GIG).

 

Also, FLCL [aka. Fooley Cooley] is a short 6 Episode OVA (I think) that has some good humor and can be out-there sometimes. Don't expect any concrete answers to come from the episodes, you're expected to put things together yourself.

 

Only other one I highly recommend (though honestly I say the Manga is better) is xxxHolic, a short series released by CLAMP (Same company behind Cardcaptor Sakura and Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle) that plays around with some of the ideas of the Shinto religion/philosophy. Has some funny moments, as well as moments that make you think, and even some that may bring a tear to your eye.

Jormungand. One of the very few animes I have seen that did not involve the popular tropes, and as the plot follows a gun runner and her band of hired guns it is fairly original for an anime, especially with how much it grounds its combat in reality.
