Cardcaptor Sakura (not to be confused with Cardcaptors) is actually pretty good. Most magical girl type animes tend to be with a flowing plot.

I honestly can't think of an anime that was genuinely bad, though I really don't like any incarnations of Yu-gi-oh! or Pokemon.

I hate shows about little creatures that go through a metamorphasis stage and are forced to battle one another and shows about about a kid who plays with a pice of cardboard to save the world.

Prince of Tennis pisses me off. It's not that I don't like the game (I've been playing tennis for years), it's just that the show is so boring. It's also one of the few times where I feel absolutely no emotion towards the main character. All he does is walk around and be a doosh all day. He doesn't even treat people like human beings.

Not to mention that they almost never miss a shot. How frikin realistic is that?

Beyblade was popular for exactly two weeks at my school, and those two weeks happened to fall on my birthday, so everyone bought me bey blade stuff (even though I didn't want it). A couple of days later, the fad died.

Beyblade ruined my birthday. I will never forgive it for that.

Naruto, ugh... not only do they not have personalities, but they don't have personalities for 200 episodes of filler!

Since I last posted in topic I've seen a few of the shows mentioned.
Inuyasha was stupid. The fight scenes weren't even as good as Dragon Ball's, and the "humor" between the girl and that guy with long white hair was something I could have written in eigth grade. Plus the plot was horrible. It wasn't a terrible show, but it was pretty darn bad. I'd rank it close to Naruto standards.

The Prince of Tennis has the most annoying main character I have ever seen. He's a punk and a jerk to everyone around him. Demoncaterpie said it perfectly. I was in China last month and couldn't believe how popular the show was. It made me die a little on the inside.

Plasmawisp, FLCL is one of the best anime I have ever seen, but I understand perfectly why you hate it when you say it was "nonsense". You either hate it or love it, I guess.

I only saw one episode of Elfen Lied. Bleck. All it was was mindless blood splattering and nudity. Anyone like this who's pasted puberty? >_>

I'd like to throw in Paranoia Agent into the list of terrible anime. I cant believe so many people like this show. There was only a single likable character out of the whole series, and he barely gets any screen time. Everyone else was either a prick or a moron. I had high expectations for this show too.

Oh, and Oran High School SUCKED! :(

My least favorite anime is Gravitation, for obvious reasons. I feel unconfortable when people even mention it to me.

I don't care so much for Naruto, or those over the top random animes like Bo-bo (I'm not even going to try to get that right. XD), and FLCL.

Why would anybody hate Ouran High School Host Club? :(

Don't forget Shin Chan and Super Milk Chan. Seriously, what are people on when they write these things?

I agree with everything you said commonyoshi, except about Paranoia Agent. It's easily my favorite anime of all time.

And Plasmawisp, Shin-chan is one of the funniest shows I've ever seen. Even my friend who hates all anime thought the show was amazing.

The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya has been getting a lot of buzz recently, but every time I try to watch it I can't help but vomit. That show's just bad...period.

NARUTO.
It's not that the show is uber bad, it's that the fans (Read: Narutards) make me hate the show.
"BELIEVE IT"
The "narutards", as you call them are probably all 6 to 14 year olds who follow the English episodes with the corny voice actors.

Us real Naruto fans are the ones who've seen every Japanese episode, read the manga, and have seen every fight. In all, it's pretty decent if you give it a chance

I like naruto. I watch mostly the jappanese versions and am not a narutard. Sadly, my freinds are. OMG THEY COLLECT THE BLANKING TRADING CARDS! It's annoying, I cant watch all the ones on the computer becuase I have dial and cant watch videos. My freinds know that, and still:

My freind: "Yo, do you even know who ______maru is?"

Me: "No, my internet is-"

My freind: "Oh Cmon man, you don't know anything!"

Uhhhggg that gets really annoying. And to say that the characters don't have personality is just not true.

I watch Naruto in English. Subtitles give me headaches:(

I guess that makes me a Narutard:)

I don't think it's that bad of a show. Yes, people tell me it's soooooooo much better in Japanese, but I'm having a great time watching them on Cartoon Network. I like the character of Naruto, though I personally can't stand Saskue (or however you spell his name).

Ok now that two people admited it I guess I can too. I watch it in english and enjoy, but that was the only lie. :embarrass:embarrass:embarrass

Anyways, I like naruto, he avoided the stereo type. Sasuke...I don't really care for him. All the 6-9 year olds think his is amazing...just like mewtoo in smash.
Sakura isn't too bad. I like how she shows the contrast between what she says and what she thinks. I won't give opinions on any others, but my favorite is Shikamaru. He is cool.

For mainstream stuff, I'll just go with Naruto, Bleach, Death Note, Dragon Ball Z (well, everything after the Frieza saga, at least), and some others I don't feel like thinking of. But yeah, those are pretty terrible overall.

InuYasha for me, hands down. Mediocre fight scenes, barely any character development, and it's the same crap after the first 10 episodes...Oh, and I forgot to mention, in the anime, Naraku never even dies. -.- How do you go through an entire anime and not end it?! Sure, the Manga is still going on, but this is about anime...So yeah...

I'm not sure why downloading the episodes rather than watching them on television makes you a "real Naruto fan." Personally, I find that kind of attitude more annoying than anything the young kids who watch it on Cartoon Network do.

I'm not doubting that you are a true Naruto fan, but I am saying that it's stupid to place yourself above the people who watch it on Cartoon Network.

I haven't watched any anime in about 2 years, but I remember that back when I was really into Naruto/One Piece, these shows had some surprisingly touching, if a bit contrived, moments.

Yeah, these sorts of "mainstream" shows have mostly jumped the shark, but let's not forget they were once pretty good; that's how they got popular in the first place.
