I hate it because stupid people are worshiping a mediocre anime. I mean watch some good anime you stupid people. Things like Evengelion, Gundam, ranma 1/2, bleach or Ghost in the shell. You know Anime with a plot. Anime that end when they are supposed to. Not ones that continue on and on with the same stale story.

Speaking of stupid people worshipping crappy anime, Evangelion doesn't have a plot. It has an overly complex pseudoplot that makes no sense whatsoever with a couple bible refrences. Because of this, people assume that they just aren't smart enough to handle the plot that they just assume that its good. Shinji's a whiney bitch, Asuka's just a bitch, and Rei is emotionless, though I'm sure is a bitch inside somehow. In short, it is 10,000 times overrated.
Ranma I just never saw the appeal to.
Naruto I can at least stand, because the fights are really thought out. The fights are both a battle of wits and a physical one, which is why I like them. The problem is, when plot goes to a complete standstill, there is just so far the fights can go before people are like, "HEYY!!! I see what you did here!"
Plus, Naruto's english voice and catch phrase is just horrible. They should've just taken dattebayo out altogether, 'cause there is no way they could possibly have translated it well into english.

I consider evangelion good because it's plot fucks with your head. And I find Ranma Hilarious. Right now I'm watching Fruits Basket. I'm on episode 3. I like it so far.

Yeah, I didn't like it. Maybe it was because I never sat and watched the whole thing, but I saw it off and on, Read the wiki, and saw the second to last episode(Which, by the way, was pretty pointless except to make you really really depressed for no reason. Like, you just want to kill yourself, and you're just asking yourself, "Why, why are you trying to kill yourself" and there is no reason, except you really want to). Through these methods, I deduced I wasn't missing much, and in fact would be boiling in a pit of rage if I continued watching. Fruits basket... eh, its too girly for me. Its too aimed toward girls. If it was omgwtf cute, I'd be able to watch it, because I am half japanese, so I resonate pretty well with that type of off the wall antics my half culture is known for. Which is why, right now, I'm watching Lucky Star

I like Naruto mainly because of the fight scenes. They're clever. I will admit that the plot's stale, but that's mainly because it's built off of the way the characters interact with each other. And yeah, I never really got the concept of a ninjas wearing bright, primary colors running through trees in an attempt to be stealthy.
I'm starting to watch other animes, though. The only one that I really like so far is Claymore. Bleach... I watched the first five or so episodes, and got bored. I'll probably go back and watch it at some point.

Well fruits basket is surprisingly deep. I think I'll watch Tenjo Tenge after this.

I love how you can start watching Ghost in the shell from almost any episode. Each episode is it's own story.

I know right. I really liked the Sniper guy's origin story. It was so good. Also the paralyzed guy's story too.

The best one was that American navy colonel that was killing and skinning those women. It was gruesome and well written.
