I love Wizards. I think Fire & Ice is Bakshi as well, though the style is inspired directly by Frazetta. I can't think of a better combination of talent. Brilliant animator and the best fantasy painter of all time. For a while Fire and Ice was packaged with a documentary about Frazetta, but I never managed to pick it up...
Obviously I like Thundercats. Voltron, original Transformers, MASK...
Anyone remember the Dinosaucers? I'm not sure if that one would stand the test of time.
I don't watch a lot of anime because I think a lot of it is just derivative. But there isn't enough you can say about how well done Akira was. I still watch that all the time. Ninja Scroll and Cowboy Bebop are good, as noted by other people. Princess Mononoke was kinda cool (but a little hippyish).
For a really interesting approach to animation check out A Scanner Darkly, starring Keanu Reeves and Robert Downey Jr. A lot of people are skeptical until they finally see it...Then again, the source material was written by Philip K Dick and he really didn't ever do anything that sucked.
