Hanasakeru Seishonen is a show that is hard to explain. It's a soap opera, like Dallas, in anime form. Princes, oil barons, political intrigue, a girl looking for a husband who wonders if one of the guys is her pet leopard reincarnated... A good watch.
Ninja Robots/Ninja Senshi Tobikage is a show about well, you've read the title. Lots of action, adventure, & aliens. We found all the dub, minus a tiny bit... so @[email protected] & @[email protected] dubbed it themselves, as you demanded!

Haruka Nogizaka's Secret is about a girl who loves anime, in secret. And someone finds out her secret. It's light romance & drama with a lot of comedy and dashes of fanservice.
Both sets are fun & kind of a relaxing watch.

Street Sharks! Probably better known than most, it's been a long time since the jawesome foursome were on the air. The entire series is here & the video looks far better than it ever has before.
Planet With is one of the greatest mech shows you haven't seen. High speed action, audio that will shake the room, & fun characters.
Plus the mech is a giant cat that eats the pilot...
The Princess and the Pilot is shockingly good. It has a nice mix of drama, romance, and dogfighting with some nice plane designs. It's been overlooked.

@discotek I havent seen them, but I blind-bought Genocyber, Barfoot Gen, Violence Jack and Shogun's Samurai. And I haven't watched my old Pioneer DVDs of Sherlock Hound since I got them in the late 90's, so that's almost a blind buy.
(Me also picking up Cyber City Oedo and Lupin: Dead or Alive don't count, since I've seen them really recently)
