So many recommendations, but no Trigun yet. Starts off very silly, but goes to some good places over its single season run. At least, I sure felt it did when I was 13. It's a western/sci-fi set in a vast desert-dwelling society, focusing on the legend of the mysterious criminal Vash, with a 60 billion dollar bounty on his head, usually called by the nickname "Vash The Stampede", who wreaks destruction and mayhem wherever he turns up. We follow around a goof who looks just like him.

The bit towards the end with Millie and Wolfwood makes me cry.

The heartfelt moral questions the series poses ("the spider and the butterfly") are nothing short of profound, all the more because they may not be resolvable. One of my favorite series ever, aesthetically, narratively, and thematically: I've seldom seen anything so simultaneously silly, and gut-wrenchingly poignant.
