I'm a fan of her work on Cowboy Bebop with the Seatbelts and her work on Ghost in the Shell though it was deeply indebted to the orginal composer who did the movie.

There's a rule I've noticed: every anime that Yoko Kanno composes music in must be great! Sometimes her music is a key igredient of whole anime experience.
