Anything in my PTW that I should prioritize? I'll probably start GITS 2nd gig after finishing the first season and Wolf's Rain but a list of any "gems" I've been sleeping on would be nice, I guess.

Those are good ideas, I'll also recommend you prioritize:
Gankutsuou, Haibane Renmei, Kino's Journey, Monster, Nurarihyon no Mago (not amazing, but season 2 is really good), Rurouni Kenshin: Trust and Betrayal, Bunny Drop and Tatami Galaxy. I also hear Space Bros and Shiki are good.

You can drop Tokyo Majin, Law of Ueki, Persona Trinity, Maoyuu, Dog and Scissors, probably Eureka Seven AO, Buso Renkin, Btooom, the Bayonetta movie, Bakuman (I thought it had a stupid premise, and the ending sucks) and Accel World I imagine.

You got some good taste, so I'll dish out some of the usual:
RahXephon, Angel's Egg, Samurai Champloo, R.O.D the TV, Rurouni Kenshin: Tsuiokuhen, Kure-nai, Hunter X Hunter, Grave of the Fireflies, Hajime no Ippo, Hokuto no Ken 1, Nura, Kaiji, Rainbow, Mazinkaiser SKL, Gintama, Noein, Bartender, Jojo 2012, Gatchaman Crowds, Hyouge Mono, GetBackers, FMA 2003, Beast Player Erin, House of Five Leaves and Rose of Versailles.

I'll probably start most of those within the next few months anyway, thanks.

I'll probably continue with the manga for Bakuman and I was considering getting rid of some of those anyway , but is the Bayonetta movie really that bad?

Bayonetta should be seen only if you have played the game. Not because it's difficult to follow (though it is super rushed) but because it may offer something only to the fans. But even that is rather questionable. If you watch the anime without playing the game, there is a high chance that you'll care little for what is going on. You certainly won't care for the characters.

Hmm, interesting. I haven't played the game before, but I actually like the main character and saw some gameplay footage in a review if I remember. Is it still okay to watch it?

Well, if you want, you can. I was just saying it's not something I'd go around recommending to those who haven't played the game. But there are certainly much worse ways to spend hour and a half than watching Bayonetta. At least I didn't find it boring.

Well, all the shows I was going to recommend you have seen, lol.

Though, I might point you in the direction of something like "Hataraki Man" but that is more of a drama (in a NANA fashion) than a comedy.

This. That's the main point of the list, a recommendation chart with great titles. You really can't go wrong with titles on it, and it offers various genres and themes. Sadly, due to IMG-kun being ugu it isn't linked properly. I'd link you the chart, but since I don't have the image, I'll just post the text version with links to their pages (aka copy paste from the camp).

The non-specific answer is everything you haven't seen.

The specific answer I'll go with for now is Mushishi, Planetes, Legend of the Galactic Heroes, Tatami Galaxy, Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex, and Baccano!.

I want something amazing and not a classic that was good for its time like Cowboy Bebop. I watched Cowboy Bebop until episode 17 and couldn't continue because it didn't hook me into it. For reference here is my current top five.

Then you might prefer our collection on the "anime relation list", in the club homepage. Most of them are pretty new and can be considered "amazing" or "mindblowing", although of course it depends on personal taste.

I will recommend Sword Art Online, Guilty Crown, Mirai Nikki, Infinite Stratos, and Deadman Wonderland
Or something that is not from both of our list: Fate/zero has a great animation

Also, please be more respectful. Cowboy Bepop looks better than a lot of shows airing right now, it's the definition of a classic that stood the test of time.

I don't love Bebop as much as others do, but it's strengths aren't (entirely) based on being a good product of its time. The production values are still marvelous and all, but what people are fond of with it are the subtle bits of existentialism throughout most episodes that link with Spike, the grounded sci-fi aesthetics that don't shove its elements down your throat and its general suaveness (mostly as a biproduct of Spike himself being one of--if not the--coolest anime character(s) ever.)

@Popka: I think LoGH may be a bit intimidating for him at this point.

I guess I could skim the list and pick out personal favs of mine that are accessible early on (a lot of my favs are either the very reserved, thought provoking ones or not on there). I guess right off the bat I'll recommend Rurouni Kenshin: Trust and Betrayal because it is such a tremendously powerful and audacious journey in such a visceral and poetic way despite being 2 hours long. Based on your favourites I think Trust and Betrayal will blow you away. The battles alone are enough to satisfy any action junkie.
