Yup I agree with Oceen246. Watch about 3 eps. Hate it, dump it. However you might miss out on some that starts out very horribly but through the middle gets better like Kiddy Grade.

And it does come down to preference on what animes you like. Like I hate Chobits and Fruit Basket. Waste of time. Many others would differ.

Here are some good ones I like - Berserk, Cowboy Bebop, Azumanga Diaoh, Mahoromatic, Vandread,
Stellvia of the universe, Gundam Seed, and many others. OH. Get Full Metal Alchemist and Full metal Panic.
