I'll start:
I generally hate anime, despite being a Japanophile. I love Ninja Scroll, and I thought that was about it until I started watching Samurai Champloo on Netflix. I guess when they have feudal stuff instead of demon tentacles violating voluptuous pre-teen pony tailed temptresses, I can get into it.
So far, it appears to be about two renegade fighters, one a ronin of some kind, the other a barbarian from Okinawa or one of the other southern isles. The former is a one strike, one kill fighter, very much in the classic mold, and the latter is basically a lethal breakdancer / parkour enthusiast. The production has a lot of quick cuts and hip hop influence. Great stuff.
