Overrated:
I have to say Cowboy Bebop is one. It's one of my favorite animes, but it is also one that I see people over rate alot. It has many filler episodes (some episodes I can't stand to watch again) and is not as complicated as many try to make it seem. It lacks closure at the end as well. I'm fine with Spike being dead, but we really don't get anything out of Faye or Jet (well, we get Faye's to a degree, but I still didn't feel satisfied with what we learned). I also think they should have introduced Ed sooner. It would have had a bigger emotional impact when she left if we knew her earlier in the series. I really didn't care that she was leaving and saw it coming. It's still highly ranked out of my favorite shows.
Ghost In The Shell is another one that people like to talk about when trying to impress other's with. I like the series and think highly of it, but at the same time, too many people play it's philosophical and intelligence to make themselves sound better. They try and use it to get the advantage over another anime fan when discussing various series.
Utena is a series I didn't really like despite many people reccomending it to me. I couldn't get into the story or like the characters. I rented the first two volumes and only watched the first disc before returning the dvd's. I couldn't force myself to continue. I was pretty depressed at the time, so that may have been one of the causes.
Underrated:
Zoids is a series that I enjoy. I usually hate shows where young people battle robots/animals/animal like things, but for some reason, I always seem to sit down and watch a whole episode and find it entertaining. I'm weird though.
Big O is one that is pretty underrated. I probably wouldn't have given it a second glance if it wasn't on tv. I don't really talk too much about the show, but it is very entertaining. It has a pretty small fanbase though and many of my friends haven't even heard of it. Roger reminds me of Bruce Wayne.
I think Blue Gender is underrated. The only problem is the first 2 episodes. I got hooked at episode 5. It was kinda like the Soprano's in the sense that I wanted to see who died next. During my bloodlust, I actually began to care for Yugi and Marlene. The ending is pretty stupid though.
Other Stuff:
Just to note on Zagatto's mention of Photon, I didn't really enjoy Photon as much as I thought I would. I didn't really get the passion to continue watching it, as I do with most series. Although, at episode 5 & 6 I started to get into it, but by then it was already over. I wouldn't say it was bad, but it's not on my favorites list.
