I'm tired of all the people who say their favs are Rurouni Kenshin, Yu Yu Hakusho and Rumiko Takahashi's Inuyasha. These shows are distinctively sorry excuses for anime. The makers of these anime are just in it for the money. You can see this through the overly excessive episode list. People go straight to Adult Swim and see that an anime is playing and deem it an astounding anime. If you truly want to be an anime fan, then go out and find good anime for yourself. Don't have other people do it for you.
Welcome, and what an entree it is
I think Blight and Schultz are not so happy to see you mention their favorite shows as sorry excuses for anime (and these guys have watched quite alot). I hate to break it to you but ALL anime creators are in it for the money. They try to make something that as many people as possible will like to watch. You don't see them giving their stuff away for free do you? Just because a popular show is someone's favorite doesn't mean its all they've seen.
I don't care if anyone thinks I'm not an anime fan. I like animation and if its US based or Japanese doesn't matter to me. I just as gladly watch a spiderman epp. as an cowboy bebop ep.
We used to get this discussion with Dragonballz, and now kenshin and Yu Yu aren't good enough anymore either. What has the world become
