The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya
Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann
Ouran High School Host Club
Higurashi no Naku Koro ni (& Kai)
ef - a tale of memories
CLANNAD (& After Story)
Nodame Cantabile
Azumanga Daioh
Hidamari Sketch (& x365)
Lucky Star

Haruhi for being exceptional, TTGL for being awesome and epic, Ouran for being funny and introducing me to shoujo, Higurashi for some of the best storytelling and creepiness, ef for being a really good drama with style, CLANNAD for being another good drama and opening me up to visual novel adaptations, Nodame for being a unique and funny romance, and Azumanga, Hidamari, and Lucky Star for being excellent slice-of-life.

I'm kinda modifying my list a bit, cause after watching more of Simoun I started hating it. Now here's the modded list:

10. Spirited Away
9. Negima?!
8. Goodbye Zetsubou Sensei
7. Nerima Daikon Brothers
6. Black Lagoon (and The Second Barrage)
5. Welcome to the NHK
4. Lucky*Star
3. Excel Saga
2. Tenga Toppa Gurren-Lagann
1. Pani Poni Dash

Here's why: 10 is the best film I've ever seen, 9, 8, and 7 are excellent satire, 6 is like an anime Hard Boiled (with Rambo and Battle Royale thrown in for good measure), 5 is both dramatic and funny, 4 is great slice of life, 3 is frickin' funny, 2 is a great homage to old mecha shows of yore and 1 is just plain funny (and a great and [mostly] clean series).

Now adding Haibane Renmei to that list...
"People who sin say this: that they had to, to survive. People who sin say this: that it's too late now to stop. The shadow called Sin dogs them steadily from behind, silently, without a word. Remorse and Agony are repeated, only to end up at Despair in the end. But the sinners just don't know, that if they'd only turn around, there is a light there, a light which keeps shining on them ever so warmly. A light that will never fade." -- Vash the Stampede

3. Last Exile

4. Scrapped Princess

5. Azumanga Daioh

6. Figure 17

7. Haibane Renmei

Extras: Kanon, Clannad, Minami-Ke.

I think that's it for now. I'm sure it will change later.

My top ten are:

Gundam Seed Destiny
Dragonball Z
Digimon
The Guyver
Cowboy Bebop
Vampire Hunter D
Tekkaman Blade
Rurouni Kenshin

This is just the top ten I like the most from the ones i've seen completley so far. I have alot I've still only seen bits and pieces of that I need to watch all the way through. So I'm sure this is not my finalized list.

Curiosity strikes! I've been vaguely interested in checking out this series before, so I'm just wondering--why the specific episodes?

There are a number of "filler" episodes in Nadia's second half in an unnecessary effort to extend the show. I don't despise them particularly but they do have a noticeable drop in quality from other episodes. I won't speak for Warrior 4 Jesus, but I'm assuming that's his reason.

Yes, that's the very reason I was so specific. The filler episodes are badly animated, badly drawn, the characters act out of character for no reason and become idiots and the story is inane 'filler'.
NGE on the other-hand I thought was the quintessential crappy, clichéd anime from episodes 2-15. From thereon it improved tremendously.
