Yeap, I remember getting up early in the weekends and watch that show, together with Olive et Tom (Captain Majid) on a french channel. There I was, a five year old waching cartoons in a language I didn't understand. Ah, to be young again. 
Btw, Les Chevaliers de Zodiaque is called Saint Seiya originally. You'll find more of it under that name. They recently (couple of years ago) made a new chapter of the show, The Hades Chapter.

As for favorite shows, in no particular order:
- Gungrave ( a story about 2 friends who begin as street punks, and rise withing the mafia, their loves and betrayals. This serious is Action/Drama/ Science fiction)
- Samurai Champloo ( a great series about 3 travelers who are in search of the sunflower samurai. Great action, fantastic animation, killer style, witty humor and one of the coolest characters ever make this a classic. This is also one of the only shows where the English voice over didn't suck compared to the Japanese one. This show is mainly action/comedy)
- Death Note (Great show and unlike many shows, it's the only anime show I've seen where a lot focus is put into the bad guy's perspective, and he's not portrayed by a super demon/alien king. You actually connect with him, which makes it all the more awesome. This show is fantastic and raises many moral questions about life and the notion of how the end could justify the mean. If there is one show to watch, it's this show is a thriller)
- Full Metal Alchemist (This show is great. good animation, wonderful cast, terrific story and great twists (even if there were some anti climatic moments) It's also one of the shows where the English voice over didn't suck. This show is fantasy/action)
- Monster ( This show is a love it or hate it series. It's very unorthodox compared to most anime. First the protagonist is no super powered or super smart kid. He is a doctor in search of a serial killer that he saved his life years before. This show has slower pace than most anime, and some might see it as boring due to the lack of action. But the superb characters, great script, and one of the most normal looking, yet at the same time terrifying villains make this a classic to me. This is a thinking man's anime. No cheap action here, just fantastic plot. This show is a thriller)
- Helsing (short series, but an awesome lead character, and good action make this memorable. This show is horror/action)
-Trigun (lots of plot holes and the pacing is off a lot, but memorable characters and good action make up for the shortcomings
- Bleach (This show is more mainstream. It has a good story, lots of interesting characters. Too bad the animation can be cheap at times, plus the filler content is really annoying. Still not a bad show to check out)
one of the newer shows out of Japan is called Soul eater. There are only 7 episodes out so far, but man is this show great! It has really good fight scenes, but the humor is what has this show going so far. The art style is very unique as well. Search for the episodes on Megavideo.com. If you don't like the show by watching the first 3 episodes, then there is something wrong with you.
