Cowboy Bebop has a lot of style, and is enjoyable to people who generally might not like anime.

I prefer Samurai Champloo, from the same creator, though.

If you want GOAT anime you'll want to watch the following:

Death note
Berserk
DragonBall Z

Also, if you like the style of animation in anime you'll want to check out some studio ghibli films, best ones are spirited away and howls moving castle, but all of that particular studios movies are the creme of the crop. Right up there with studio ghibli are the WB DC comic animated movies, there are lots of really good movies like the Flashpoint paradox, the the killing joke, all star superman, wonder woman etc.

Have fun watching all these, they are absolutely amazing movies.

Cowboy Bebop

Monster (amazing series, might be hard to find now)

Samurai Champloo

Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood

The 12 Kingdoms (if you're into fantasy stories with rich settings, one of my all time favorites)

Attack on Titan

Princess Mononoke (or anything by Studio Ghibli)

Ghost in the Shell (the original movie is a good place to start)

Also, if you googled Madoka Magica and were turned off by the cute girly style, that show actually becomes really interesting. And its only 12 episodes.

no pressure, but its not something you should judge by its cover

Good choice starting with Bebop, that's a classic. Some others similar to it that you might like would be Outlaw Star, Trigun, and Space Dandy.

Also, could you possibly give us some idea what kind of shows and genres you like in other media to help us recommend you similar shows in the anime world? Like "if you like watching action hero movies, check out My Hero Academia", or "if you enjoy it's-a-show-about-nothing comedy sitcoms like Seinfeld, check out Nichijou", or "if you like James Bond films or other spy thrillers, check out Princess Principal" and stuff like that.

Legend of the Galactic Heroes, a very good (but kinda long) space opera, one of my favorite anime of all time.

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, it's worth watching just for Part 2, really fun series that often makes just as much sense in context as it does out of context. First 3 parts are English dubbed on Netflix, Hulu has Part 4 subbed.

My Roommate is a Cat, very cute and wholesome slice of life anime about a reclusive novelist adopting a stray cat because he needs inspiration for his next novel.

Then definitely check out My Hero Academia and One Punch Man. MHA is a huge action anime about an academy that trains future heroes, while OPM is a parody anime about a hero who's so bullshittingly strong that he usually wins fights in one punch and is always bored because no one's strong enough to give him a challenge. MHA's story and OPM's comedy are both great, and both series have awesome action scenes.

its funny you mention seinfeld my sig is a quote from the show i love it

Then slice-of-life comedy anime would be right up your alley to relax in between action shows. I mentioned Nichijou before, which is a show about five schoolgirls (one of whom is a super genius and another is a robot built by the aforementioned super genius) that just get into completely random and insane situations in their daily lives. Like, I'm talking "watching the school principal fight a deer to the death" and "girl running from the cops so nobody sees the gay porn she drew" and other crazy shit like that. It's absolutely hysterical.

There's also more down-to-earth comedies like Monthly Girls' Nozaki-kun (about a girl who falls in love with a guy but instead of getting a date with him she becomes his assistant making manga) and Recovery Of An MMO Junkie (about a group of young adults who play an MMO game together and hang out both in the game and in real life) to check out. Slice-of-life shows are often closely associated with the "cute girls doing cute things" style of anime, but there are some good comedies out there with partly/mostly male casts as well, these two among them.
