Here's a Ranker list. What say you about the top 10 or even 25? Solid results? What's y'alls personal top 5 or something. Maybe I'll watch one. That list claims Death Note is the greatest ever made, maybe I should start there.
Edit: Oh I guess this list doesn't take movies into account.
Death Note is really good, it's where I started. It touches on a lot of issues, and the story itself is pretty profound.

My girl watches a lot of fairy tale so i've been watching that. Think I'm a bit over 100 episodes now. Not bad.
I've been meaning to watch Fairy Tale. That's sad about 7DS, I really wanted to watch it. It's been recommended to my by a few people

Any Lupin The Third fans? Seriously classic, the original series is from the 70's and they're are like 5 total TV series though only 2 or 3 have been dubbed.
Lupin is like Anime scooby doo meets james bond with a bit of Indiana Jones 
My favorite thing about it is each episode takes place in a different part of the world. Lupin travels around stealing from rich assholes.
There are also at least 10-20 movies/specials though some are pretty meh. But some are really crazy. I'd recommend checking out:
The Secret Of Mamo The Castle of Cagliostro (directed by Myazaki, more of a unique lighthearted take on lupin) The Woman Called Fujiko Mine (Really trippy/abstract short series focusing on Fujiko's backstory) Jigens Gravestone (movie sequel to WCFM TV series)
Here's a good article run down of most of the movies: https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/feature/2016-01-27/lupin-the-third-the-complete-guide-to-films-tv-specials-and-ovas/.98031
I don't agree with all of them, I enjoyed some of the movies they don't recommend for example. But it's a good run down of the pro's and con's of all the movies.
Also as a bonus Lupin The Third has a great soundtrack IMO, tons of classic jazz/funk and rock that goes perfect with the show:
OST Lupin III COMPLETO
I think that's one of the classic OST's, but there are a ton of them over the decades. Some of the 80's ones are cheesy but I love the older and newer soundtracks.

Myazaki also directed 1 or 2 episodes of the Lupin Part 2 TV series I believe.
Really funny show indeed, I like how many styles and themes it has throughout the years. Some are more lighthearted and childish while others are more dark/violent and mature.
FLCL 2 looks very interesting, it will be a 2 parter as well. Progressive is season 1 and Alternative is season 2 I believe

More Berserk anime? I've been waiting for the 2017 season to get dubbed for awhile now 
Also the berserk manga just went back on Hiatus after Casca finally had her mind restored Only took like 10-20 years 

Sadly the chapter ends like right after that panel, also that's a fan colored version.

I'm hoping we get a badass "Black Swordswoman" arc next, Casca seems like she will be really pissed off having just woken up post eclipse...
Sadly it seems very likely the next chapter will switch back to Rickert and other people on the mainland. Or we'll see Guts n Co leave elf island to return to the mainland years later, as time flows faster on the island.

Rickert might be a middle aged badass blacksmith/engineer next we see him.

Death Note is good. Attack On Titan is accessible. Fullmetal Alchemist. Gurren Lagann. Berserk. These are definitely the best animes I’ve seen. I’ve got a bit of a boner for Gurren Lagann, but maybe that’s just Yoko. The over the top cornball-ness of anime is well distributed in it and it’s got some really interesting sci-fi stuff. I see Sword Art on that list but that second season hurt my soul. If you’re talking movies, Akira and Ghost in the Shell are pretty essential.
Oh, and One Punch Man. Saitama is my hero.

Gurren Lagan is the shit. Have you seen the movies? They aren't dubbed yet sadly, but there are 2 movies. Each covers 13 episodes + some bonus scenes 
Here's the movie version of the battle at the end:
Gurren Laggan Movie 2 Giga Drill Break!
Also yeah SAO was really weird. It had some potential but it just felt like a .hack ripoff to me, with a lot more creepy cliches.

Is there really FURI KURI 2, because I know that one. That one had a weird impact on me when I saw it.
I’m surprised Gundam wasn’t on that list, unless I missed it. Wing was one of the sickest depictions of humans at war I’d seen, not just anime. I think probably you hardcore anime people would clown Gundam Wing, but I thought it was off the chain.

7 deadly sins is really good, if you end up watching it on netflix just skip over the season two that's on netflix. None of it is actually part of season 2 and if anything just makes any information you get from it confusing, the real season 2 just started getting aired recently and won't be on netflix until after it's done airing completely, so far it's up to episode 11 out of 24.
Code Geass, Death note, Steins Gate and My Hero Academia are all amazing IMO too. Would highly recommend any of them, all of which will have a new season coming out this year (besides deathnote)

The one with the animal robots might be Voltron and the other one you mentioned is probably Neon Genesis Evangelion,but I'm not 100% sure(I'm going based off memory from like a decade ago).

Just realized there's a 6th Lupin The Third TV series in the works, this time set in France. The 5th one was set in Italy.
Also apparently a lot of Anime cite Lupin as a major influence:
Quote:
Cowboy Bebop and Samurai Champloo director Shinichirō Watanabe revealed during an interview with Newtype Japan that he was heavily influenced by the work of director Masaaki Ōsumi on the first Lupin television series.[106] Animator Akihiro Kanayama has cited the animation of the anime adaption as an inspiration.[107] Numerous series have made reference to the series including Magical Princess Minky Momo, Cat's Eye, Gunbuster, Urusei Yatsura, Cowboy Bebop, Here is Greenwood and FLCL.[108][109] Video game designer Hideo Kojima compared the personality of Lupin with Solid Snake in Metal Gear Solid, stating that in "MGS, Snake became this sharp-tongued, Lupin III-like guy who flirted with women and told lots of jokes".[110] Kojima would also partially base his character EVA on Fujiko Mine.

I noticed FLCL has a lupin homage at one part, but I didn't realize Bebop and Samurai Champloo were influenced as well. Though in retrospect it's not surprising at all.
Also the manga originally came out in 1967 so it's a real classic, been meaning to read it for awhile now. Might be time...

His dad also references the creator of Lupin The third, "Monkey Punch sensei". As well as some line about preferring "the green version over the red one".
There have been many version of Lupin some of which wear different colored outfits, including red green pink and a few others I believe.
[FLCL] Haruko's boxing glove
His dad diving out of his clothes is also a Lupin homage And I think the boxing glove coming out of nowhere might be as well
