Part of the reason anime has sucked SO hardcore recently is because of the Fansubbing issue. Company's cant make money, and if they cant make money they cant make product, so to stay in business they make crappy product that the TV station will buy so they hope the can break even. the whole supply and demand market has been broken in this area, because there is no real demand for it, because there is an infinite supply of it from one copy that made its way online. its the same with movies and music.
its explained better here :

Thanks and Gig'em fansubs
But besides that, Eureka Seven, Ergo Proxy, El Chevalier D'Eon, Kurau Phantom Memories, Ghost in the Shell, Claymore, Full Metal Panic, Code Geass, Darker Than Black, Seirei no Moribito, Mushi-shi, Gurren Lagann, RahXephon, Wolf's Rain, Elfen Lied, The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya...list goes on, these are all animes i have bought or plan on buying I liked them so much.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
