I voted trigun but you should watch eureka seven afterwards!

I'd say Eureka 7, whatever people tell you there are points where it is flawed and its certainly not perfect, in fact I'd buck the usual trend of love and say I thought it was reasonable to decent but nothing more, but there is plenty for people to enjoy.
It also, for once, has a reasonably well rounded subromance where people actually admit they like each other rather than skirting the subject for 99.9% of a series.
Edit:
Here's what I said about it elsewhere after watching the show, seems it was quite literally a year ago, bar a week or two. I don't think this is too spoilery but I have blocked it out just in case:
At the half way mark
About half way through it at the moment, and I'm enjoying it, but perhaps not so much as the hype. I figure I'm into what you'd consider part 2.
I do like a good romance though so I'm glad to see they're not beating about the bush with this series and it's playing a prominent role. From the way things have been set so far, I get the feeling a lot of the 'huh' things will be cleared up later on, and sometimes the pacing can be a little frustrating (beyond the relationship, you're not always really sure where things are headed in terms of plot), but it's interesting and a little different to most mecha/romance shows I've seen.
Just a shame it wasn't produced in 5.1 or 16:9 given its only 5/6 years old.
After I'd finished
Finished Eureka 7 last night; similar thoughts to what I was thinking at the half way point, a nice series but perhaps not quite as good as I've seen it hyped up to be. A lot more of the plot clicked into place later in the series as I'd expected it would; and it was nice to see the romance remained a focus right up til the end, rather than being dropped as a lot of shows have a want to do later on in the run.
I rewatched the final half of the last episode this morning as I was a bit tired when I saw it last night. This helped me revise my views on the ambiguity of the very ending slightly; as a sentence or two confirmed a little more than I'd picked up on last night and initially I'd not been too happy with how ambiguous I felt the ending of the final episode seemed in certain ways.
That said, even with this revision on my thoughts on the very ending, I still feel the overall plotting and execution of the final plot segment of the series was perhaps the part I enjoyed the least. I'm not 100% quite what it was, but something about the ending didn't feel quite right or coherant compared to the way the show and the plot had developed before hand, and I felt dissapointed they took it the route they did with the ending; it was nice to see the core love story finish on a high note; but I feel better justice could have been done to some of the other characters and plot elements that had been interwoven up to that point; and with a few less plot holes at the end.
Would probably give the overall show 8.5/10.
Good overall series, which often used it's length to it's advantage (although not always as there at least a few episodes that felt a bit filler-y).
That said I don't think the series did itself full justice towards the end, and given it was a 2005-2006 show, lack of widescreen or better/surround audio was a letdown.
