just a tad drop of semantics if they followed the story exactly there wouldn't be any filler.Fenreil said:

At first I thought they were doing that because they were trying to speed up to where the manga was, but it turns out it was just how the manga was written. To quote MovieBob in a semi-relevant fashion "Have you ever read the book 'The Godfather' was based on? It's not that great, but give it to a great director and it becomes one of the greatest movies of all time" Adaptation Decay [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AdaptationDecay] at it's bestOutright Villainy said:

Actually Cities of Gold was a big-ass combined effort: Anglo-Franco-Germano-Japanese I think. But the Japanese opening was kinda balls. The good news is that it's huge in France, you can still find collectors' edition box series in a good number of stores here. It's expensive, but then nostalgia has no price...Nomanslander said:
Anyway as a combined production that counts in my book. Also explains why half the characters look like they came from He-Man and the other half from Lupin III...
EDIT: And to answer your question, Inspector Gadget was another multinational project. I like the opening better in French, too.
I'm going to cheat a little and put a few likes/dislike down. Also it should be noted that I'm not really a big fan of anime.
Loves:-
*Anything by Studio Ghibli. I've got a soft spot for Laputa especially.
*Akira: awesome story and animation.
*Death Note: I liked it despite the Scrappy Doo who is Misa and the plot which got a convoluted way too often.
*Monster: Great piece of drama, though it can drag with its hundreds of episodes. Anyone thinking of giving this a try should just watch the first five or so.
ED: damn how could I forget this one. 3x3 Eyes. That was a great little series.
Hates:-
*Anything that uses cliched manga memes.
*Elfin Lied: the peodo vibe was a little strong in this one. Also see above.
*Trigun: they really didn't have any idea where they were going with this one and I don't think I laughed at a single joke in it.

I liked Cowboy Bebob well enough. Trigun has its moments. Some of the Gundum series actually elevate themselves into something watchable.
Most of the rest of Anime falls into the "I could care less" category. I have never managed to actually "hate" one of them. To do so, it would have to become something I was forced to deal with on a regular basis. I can ignore things that are incomprehensible, reprehensible, stupid, annoying and so forth but were I somehow forced to endure such a thing for too long I would grow to resent it.
The reason for my disinterest is simple enough. Sometimes it's the result of a lack of understanding (also a lack of willingness to understand) of the context. Sometimes it's because the content itself is somehow unappealing (normal kids who go to school and later fight demons at night would qualify for example, especially if you tack on silly romances between characters of different species and wildly different stations in life). Most of the time however, it's because anime has a problem with actually moving a story along. I understand that the battle between the unstoppable badass hero and the iredeemible monster should be epic. It just doesn't need to take 10 hours. For any reason. Ever.

Elfen Lied isn't exactly for everyone, it takes a special deranged person to enjoy that show, plus memories of being an angsty little bastard teen fantasizing about murdering everyone around you you hated because of the whole "no one gets me" bull you use to keep feeding yourself with.
Unfortunately I was one of those little idiots so Elfen Lied has found a special place in my heart...=D

Love: Pokemon ORIGINAL. One Piece. Naruto (Enjoyable battles, good animation, good characters for both Naruto and One Piece)
Hate: Newer Pokemon episodes (Hoenn and onward.) Not a fan of Full Metal Alchemist based on what I have seen of it.
(I know most of you hate Naruto for filler, but I actually enjoy filler a lot. The major problem with Naruto is how they keep bitching about Sasuke.
