While early in its run, so far Gundam 00 is like almost every other member of the Gundam franchise, only better animated and about ten times as smart. While the reasons behind warfare haven't gotten any examination yet, some of the problems with ending it, particularly unilaterally as the show's premise involves, are already quite central - and several of the characters are more than a bit likable.
Seirei no Moribito is, AFAIK, not yet licensed for English-language release anywhere, but it is, by far, the coolest period (fantasy) anime I've ever seen or even heard of. The animation is lovely, even the antagonistic characters are likeable, and the fight scenes are fucking brilliant.
Heroic Age is Epic Space Opera. No, really, it's EPIC SPACE OPERA. Completely seriously and straight-faced. With kaiju. Yet it's not histrionic, and it works. And one of the epilogue scenes in the last episode made me laugh for five minutes solid.
If you're not already following the Nanoha franchise, then you should be.
Blue Drop is also currently running, but looks incredibly promising, tho granted shojo-ai is an instant sell with me.
Night Wizard is another series of the moment. It rocks my socks, being simultaneously funny and serious and immensely cool.

"V, did you do something foolish?"
"Yes, and it was glorious."
