Ok... we've been at this thread for a while now and I'm curious as to what makes a series the best or the worst. We obviously have some differing opinions on what the best and worst series actually are.
How important is the quality of the animation? Is this tied to how old a particular series may be?
How important is the character design?
Do the story arcs have to be original and what sort of depth are we looking at?
Does the genre come into consideration? Are we trying to hold something designed for kids up to the same standards as a more mature anime? Is it fair to call something one of the worst anime ever made just because you don't like the genre it falls into?
Can strength in one area outweigh all other areas and either raise or lower the series above or below the sum of the parts?
Again, I'm interested in finding out why people rave or rant for a particular series. Just saying something is awesome or lame doesn't give me any insight into why you feel that way about it.
