lol. Lain is what got my little brother into anime. He was 12 and actually understood it. That scared me.
Well I am a Takahashi fan as in I liked the little Lum I saw and I am a huge Ranma 1/2 fan. But Inuyasha never really caught my attention. I mean I don't hate it, but it's like "eh... I'll watch it if I am in the mood." I think it's like DBZ, a good way to get someone into anime, but something you eventually leave behind. |

That's like looking for homosexual yaoi fanservice while watching Anpan-man.

From I''s (the 2002 OVA) for me. I don't think it's complete garbage because I did like the character designs, but I pretty much disliked everything else. Music was kind of flat and dull and I couldn't get a feel for the characters' personalities, which I was at least able to do with the 2005 OVA. The flashbacks were also incredibly repetitive, and for an OVA there are lots of panning shots.

The plot was actually almost ever-present, even if very subtly and almost all episodes (barring one or two) advanced the characters or plot in some direction, even if not glaringly obvious. You just need to pay more attention to it. For something that looked to be a mindless fanservice comedy at first glance (which isn't bad in itself in any way either), it proved to be more and actually have a heart behind it, if you put in the effort to look past the surface that screams "mindless fanservice!". There was mindless fanservice as well, but there is more to that, provided one bothers to look for it.

Calling ninomiya kun shit...what the heck?
Sure it wasnt rocket science but as far as fanservice "working as intended" type series goes, this series had the viewer using more brains than any other of the same genre. Sure hope you guys won't be watching girls bravo or your brains might explode >.>

- Dragon Ball series, if it's only 1 or 2 cour it would be a great show, but how many episode wasted on utterly crap fights with all nonsense talk. Of course ervery other anime walking the path of dragon ball deserved to be thrown away out of the window.
- Cosprayer, the anime about producing cosprayer (I forgot the title but even Noto Mamiko couldn't save the show) and every other show with piles of garbage fanservice - Excel Saga, I forgot what this is about but the word 'excel saga' is firmly etched on my mind as crappy garbage, and I think there was other anime trying to imitate this. - Sister Princess, they even try to repure the show. - Da Crapo and most eroge adaptation. Key works are great but must others are da crapo. - Crayon Shinchan, it's not even funny not to mention horrible artwork. - Evangelion episode 25-26, forget these episodes ever exist go straight to end of evangelion after epidode 24.

I don't know... I always like the Dragon Ball series, but the fight scenes were indeed dragged on too much. I remember it took Goku forever to get the Spirit Bomb ready for FREEEZIAAA, lol. |

The longer staring games are the episodes of Trunks vs. Cell. - about 10 minutes used just for staring. zZzZz... @kucigaromeo Crayon Shinchan has got to be one of the worst animation style I've ever seen. I wonder how a show like that is so popular among japanese.

Naruto - This falls under the category of "I wanna be the best -insert title- and I'm going to spend 200+ episodes doing it!"... It might not be so bad if it didn't become 80% filler, or maybe if the fans weren't so annoyingly rabid.
Kamichu - It was like watching a TV series trying to be a Miyazaki film... it just did not work for me. Virus Buster Serge - As much as I love this one, it is pretty much trash. The plot line goes in circles and its filled with cyber-babble and sexy snapshots, not to mention the theme was done by Dragon Ash >_> |

That's for sure.Like a lot of people who(i don't know about you) think those ones are references to talk about when a discussion comes to manga and japanimation.But they've become so famous that the authors were kind of forced to make it longer and longer.That's why I don't like those series:too long,and often too repetitive...

I disagree that School Days is the trainwreck of 2007. Actually SD is not run-of-the-mill romance anime. In fact it was a romance anime that generally aimed towards male audiences rather than traditional female ones. Although I admit I dislike its ending.
I want to put Moetan in my list in this topic. It wasn't THAT horrible. I was fooled by its "candy-coated sweetness". |

Eva-hate and Ninomiya I can at least tolerate, but this...Can you name one romance this season that is geared toward female audiences?? You're free to disagree about School Days, but at least come up with a good reason.
