Wait... You say it's over-rated

Yet other people are saying they like Naruto, Bleach, and Full Metal Alchemist? Aren't those like the three most over-rated anime shows?

I totally agree, and NGE is the 4th most overrated anime imo. :|

EDIT: Well there also are Dragon Ball (Z), One Piece, Pokemon and Inuyasha (surprisingly this one wasn't mentioned yet) So yeah, every anime with more than 50 episodes deserves one spot among the most overrated shows. NGE doesn't have that many episodes, so it's abit special. :p

I actually didn't like clannad that much. I stopped someone around ep 11 of season 2. It just seems empty and progresses so slow I couldn't take it. I think it was the same for the first kanon and air. But air almost made me cry so props for that. Don't know if id still cry now, I watched air too many years ago.

As for overrated, bleach and naruto used to be good at some point where I would say that it wasn't overrated. Bleach was only good around ep 40-50 and everything went downhill from there. Naruto was good at some various places, but it did start getting slow which is why I'm not watching it right now. Now evangelion is pretty overrated. I actually don't even see why it's that good and they make it like impossible to understand. There wasn't a point in the anime where I thought, man, this is awesome. I didn't really like full metal alchemist that much, all I remember from it is how dark the anime seemed. I still can't remember how I made it through 50 of those eps.

To add to the overrated animes...fruits basket. I guess it's an anime aimed at girls, which is probably why I didn't like it.

Mash mentioned Baccano, and I gotta say, that anime kept me entertained. It's one of those unique kinds of anime that you don't see very often. Things just keep hitting you one after another. At first I never watched it because the beginning showed that it was american themed, but I ended up watching it a little later and I gotta say it, it was great.

All of this is just my opinion so don't bash me =)

I agree that naruto is

Naruto has a good story, and it's one of my favorite animes(?) but the only thing I don't like is that it can get reaaaally draggy sometimes. They put so many flashbacks into a lot of the episodes as filler! I bet if they were removed and only new material was left then the number of total episodes for the series would go down by half.

Oh, and I forgot to add Great Teacher Onizuka to my favorites list. He's the greatest teacher in history!

Long list pulled from my anime folder. I also like a lot of what poeple consider 'bad' anime :)
Can 66 be considered limiting it to your favorite? No matter...
in abc order:

.//hack saga --			
Abenobashi Mahou Shotengai--	
Akagi--				mahjong + yakuza = win?
Air--				good story
Air Gear--			ends right when it feels like it's just getting started
Avatar:TLAB--			for something american
Bakemonogatari--		
Berserk--
Bleach--			in small doses. tbh first time I watched this I had always thought it ended after saving Rukia from SS
Blood+--
Bokusatsu Tenshi Dokuro-chan--	something you just have to watch, you'll know if in the first 5min you'll like it or not
Chobits--
Chrno Crusade--			although the ending was complete trash
Cowboy Bebop--			win
Death Note--			don't bother with s2. imo it ended after L
Dragonball/Z/GT/Kai
Durarara!!--			currently airing, really well done.
Eden of the East--		pretty awesome, can't wait for King of Eden movie
Elfen Lied--
Ergo Proxy--			I don't remember watching this one, but it's in my anime folder, so it might be good
Excel Saga--			comedy gold
Fairy Tale--			currently airing, has it's moments
Fight Ippatsu! Juuden-chan!!--	ecchi fanservice and super-baseball bat swinging action
Final Fantasy Unlimited--	not the best thing to come out of the franchise, but w/e
Full Metal Alchemist--
FMA: Brotherhood--		re-airing more closely follows the manga. way better
Furi Kuri--			need I say more
Geijutsuka Art Design Class--	pretty much an art design class made into an anime with funny dialogue
Ghost Hunt--			
Ghost in the Shell--
Golgo 13--			every episode is basically the same thing, but it's interesting to see the solution
Green Green--
Gundam Wing--			pure win
Gundam 08th ms team--		the only other gundam series I'd watch
Gunslinger Girl--		little girl assassins... it's cool
Hatsukoi Limited--		pretty girly, but has it's moments
K-ON!--				
Karin--				oposite vampire funniness
Kimi ga Nozomu Eien--		super drama, very sad
Ladies Vs. Butlers--		currently airing, 'Drill' makes it hilarious but pretty standard harem
Love Hina--			pretty cookiecutter harem
Lucky Star--			win. Lucky Chanel-- more win
Lupin III--			classic
Midori no Hibi--		guy's hand is turned into a girl, uncomfortable hilarity ensues
Naruto--			so long as you skip the needless 100s of ep of filler
Naruto Shippuden--
Neon Genesis Evangelion--	besides the fact you had to watch something like 2-4 movies/ovas to understand it, it was good
Ouran High School Host Club--	absolute gold, fairly hilarious
Pandalian--			kid's show, which is why it's funny
Pandora Hearts--		not bad (as long as they plan on continuing it-- if they leave it where it is it's trash)
Paranoia Agent--		pretty good mystery
Rizelmine--
Rozen Maiden--
Saki--				because riichi mahjong is the best kind
Shangri-La--			possibly one of the best stories... ever. very neo-tokyo
Shingetsutan Tsukihime--	interesting vampire/super-natural-type-thing
Shuffle!--			
Soul Eater--			bad to the point that it's interesting
The Melancholy of S.Haruhi--	s1 win. s2 skip 7 of the endless 8 episodes
To Heart--
To Love-Ru--
Tokyo Magnitude 8.0--		very moving, no earthquake pun intended
Tokyo Mew Mew--			if you're in to needless ammounts of nekko-chan fan service and comedy
Toradora--			hilarity
Trigun--
Venture Bros.--			one of the best cartoons ever

movies:
Akira
Appleseed
Ghost in the Shell
Gundam Wing Endless Waltz
Kakurenbo
Karas

and then anything Miyazaki puts his name on is instant gold.
