@Summant Else:
I actually once saw a conversation on this subject,and the conclusion that they came to was the fact that some anime's names, when translated into english, would sound very silly or questionable.
As for others, it seems to be that its not so much laziness as collective fan preference. When a show appears with a translated name, you usually always see it translated, were, as when it appears using its original name or a pseudonym, thats how it stays.
Whether the title in question gets an early license or a legal stream is also a significant factor, as people tend to defer to the translated name when this happens.

Guys, gonna need a new anime to watch in 2 weeks, I know Sjwn94 has suggested some animes, but, many people outshine a single individual in terms of a community.
tl;dr,
Need more people to suggest animes other than Sjwn94.
EDIT:
Animes I have watched;
FMA (Original)
FMA Brotherhood (Got up to ep. 42, waiting for the rest of the episodes to be dubbed before watching the rest. Watching 2/3 in English and 1/3 in Japanese doesn't seem right. :| DN Angel
Death Note
When They Cry
Can't think of the rest at the moment.
Also, please post the genre of the anime next to title. :)

Ok, then, lesse here... *Looks at anime collection*
What follows are all the anime i have seen that achieve a level of quality beyond mediocrity. Its amazing how much anime ive watched that i wouldn't recommended to others for no reason other then how 'meh' it is. You only really notice once you start thinking about it.

-Angel Beats! (Action, Comedy)
-Baka to Test to Shokanju (Comedy)
-Highschool of the Dead (Action, Ecchi) <--Defying the laws of physics since 2010
-Kore Wa Zombie Desu ka (Action Comedy)
-Kino No Tabi (Not even sure what you would call this)
-Asatte no Houkou (Drama)
-Air (Drama, Tragedy, Comedy) <---Bring tissues
-Kanon (2006) (Drama, Tragedy, Comedy) <--'06 only, 02 was uuuuugly
-Clannad (Drama, Tragedy, Comedy)<--- bring tissues
-Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha (Action, Magical Girl,Military (3rd season)) <--and implicit yuri :P - Puella Magi Madoka Magica (Magical Girl,Drama,Apocalyptic)
-Shakugan no Shana (Action, Comedy)<--second season to heavy on the romcom though
-Strike Witches (Action, Comedy, Military) <---clever, but very fanservice heavy. Second season kinda sucked
-The Melencholy Of Haruhi Suzumiya (Comedy) <---recommend you look up the 'chronological order'. Endless 8 was painful.
-To Aru Majutsu no Index (Action, Comedy)<---second season kinda sucked
-To Aru Kagaku no Railgun (Action, Comedy)
-Toradora (Romantic Comedy, Drama)<---only decent romcom ive ever seen
-Trigun (Action, Comedy)
-Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles (Action, Comedy, Romace) <---No actual ending, refer to manga
-Umineko no Naku Koro Ni (Mystery, Horror, Psycological)<-- Spiritual and at times factual successor to Higurashi
Thats all the decent ones in my folder, And now the decent ones native to my anime shelf only:
-Lucky Star (comedy)
-Neon Genesis Evangelion (Action, Drama, Psycological, Mecha)
-Strawberry Panic( romance, Drama, Yuri)
-Bubblegum Crisis Tokyo 2040 (Action, Mecha)
-Code Geass (Action, mecha)
