Getter Robo
Well, I'm a mecha fanboy who especially likes the robots that ruled the 1970's. But Mazinger Z didn't appeal me as much as I thought. Getter Robo did, however. A more interesting robot and interesting characters and some small drama involvements as well. If I only I had all episodes of the original TV show...

Hokuto no Ken/Fist Of The North Star
A quite original shounen anime with thrilling martial arts action and exploding heads. It can get a bit boring sometimes, but it's really cool to see people blow up or being sliced and diced.

Devilman
I loved the original TV show because it was very entertaining and fun. And it always had some good moments that would make me laugh, Akira Fudou is just that cool.
The OVAs that were based on the original manga are even better, with a really neat story and icky monsters.
The Amon OVA was a little too extreme and depressing, though.

Violence Jack
Some kind of unofficial sequel to Devilman. Actually, this is just like Hokuto no Ken, but without the martial arts... and much nastier stuff. I have yet to see the uncut versions of the OVAs, wich are impossible to find since they contain some really sick scenes of extreme violence or sexual assault. But I like this anime, it's fun.
