Bebop gets (auto-)recommended for A) its cool theme, B) its hip characters, C) its noir-ish look, but mostly D) it played on Cartoon Network in the 90's, which gave it mainstream "credibility" in fans' eyes, as they could recommend newbies to watch the good English dub for free...Back then.
(Now you see how most of these work. )

Skull Man? Um....never heard of it. Or Redline either, sad to say.
(As for theatricals: Keep in mind that most anime directors who've gone to the big time are "embarrassed" to do commercial TV work, and when they get their art feature break, pull out all the Great Serious Artistic stops, to prove they're not mere TV directors. In a country where they think Abstract Ambiguity is really, really cool and thought-provoking.
For that reason, outside of Ghibli, I can't think of a single theatrical feature I'd recommend that isn't a TV-series adaptation. And not always all of those.
Given that most mainstream critics saw the big artistic imports Sony distributed in the US, but didn't delve into many of the TV series, we used to have a rule about arthouse theatricals, especially the Satoshi Kons, called the Ebert List: "If Roger Ebert likes it, FLEE for your life. ")
