I have very picky taste when it comes to my anime. I've seen a few episodes of Full Metal and can't get into it. Samuri Champloo was awesome though. I definately like the ones that actually have an ending and are not 100+ episodes long. A few that I have enjoyed.
Gantz
Samuri Champloo
Gilgimesh
Death Note (although I liked the live action better)
Gantz definately had some filler episodes, but overall I enjoyed it. Gilgimesh had an amazing story with great character development.
Just my 2 cents.

Trigun does its manga service, especially since the Manga is nigh-unreadable sometimes because of Nightow's INSANE artwork.
Very rarely. I don't think I've ever seen dubbed anime that matched the quality of voice acting in western animation.Ultrajoe said:

Let me clear up afew things, people who suggest you watch subtitles arn't saying it just cause they are anime "elitests" and want you to watch it the "pure" way, its highly suggested to watch good subs for a couple good reasons.Ultrajoe said:
1) americanization! I don't know why american television finds it nessessary to suck culture out of a forein film just so americans can relate to it and make more cash, it sucks the life out of the show and usually dumbs it down, what does this mean for dubs? it means 90% of the japanese jokes (if not all) are changed to lame american jokes so people can make sense of it and alot of other items (including some food items) are renamed again for people to connect instead of people GOD FORBID! become educated about a different culture!
2) Story Changes, yes it happens, in small ways but its there, dubs tend to alter alot of the lines and alot of the story as to dumb it down for audiences,
3) Personality changes, prime example is Naruto, the english dubbed version, though not bad voice wise suffers the first 2 points plus this one, Naruto, for some GOD KNOWS reason, american dubbers find it nessessary to give him the catch phrase "Believe it!" WHAT?!?! never ONCE in the anime subbed version does he say this erritating line yet in the dubbed version its suddenly "his thing"
so this is why people who watch anime hate dubs and perfer subs, and to me, watching anime is showing an interest in japanese culture, if you don't like japanese culture, then why are you watching anime? if the dubs were well done by being accurate to the ACCUAL subbed translation then I wouldnt have a problem, but far to many suffer those problems above causing me to lose respect for dubbed
I've been a big anime fan for years, and I dont mind dubs. I used to object to them when I was a whiney teenager, but out of a sort of 'I-am-an-anime-fan-this-is-what-I-should-say' feeling.
Having said that, all the anime from Shounen Jump (Naruto, Bleach, One Piece) English dubs make my ears bleed, but I object to them because they're shitty dubs, not because they simply are dubs.
On the positive side, Ghost in the Shell and it's associated spin-offs all have excellent dubs, all with the same cast and always to a high quality.
