Always thought anime was only cartoons until I went with some friends to Anime Weekend in Atlanta. Got hooked on Durarara! Haven't watched alot since I'm just beginning but I figured the best place to start exploring would be among fans. I come from a sci fi background, Star Trek, Firefly, Farscape, etc. and am currently watching Outlaw Star. Open to suggestions from all of you.

Welcome aboard man, everyone's welcome in the anime family. Anyway, so far as sci-fi and space opera goes, Space Battleship Yamato 2199 sounds like it'd probably be up your ally, and Legend of the Galactic Heroes is pretty solid (though the original is from the 80s and is pretty dated - if you want a new iteration check out the first season of the reboot that aired this spring). Cowboy Bebop's pretty much a must-see in terms of space opera too, I've heared "Terra e..." is good, and besides space opera there's some amazing cyberpunk out there like the Ghost in the Shell films and the Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex TV series, Psycho-Pass, and if you want some really weird, out-there titles, Texhnolyze and Serial Experiments Lain.

there are tons of sci fi anime out there and you can ask in anime / manga rec
I personally recommand you these: ergo proxy, ghost in the shell, mobile suit gundam, code geass, knights of sidonia, legend of the galactic heroes and steins;gate
those are great entries to sci fi genres and quite popular as well
hope you can enjoy your stay !

If you're into space opera, someone already recommended Captain Harlock, then I would recommend Galaxy Express 999. I haven't seen it but it's in my Queue in Crunchyroll
