• Ghost in the Shell : It's eye candy... and that's all it is.

I agree here. I bought this one when I first got into anime expecting to get my socks knocked off. >_>

Ghosts.. imprinting in the brain. Right.

Main character likes to toy with death by diving. Right.

She's also possessed. Right.

Very bad singing. Right.

Intragovernmental conspiracies by different 'sections', right.

Main character stupid enough to rip own arms off trying to disable tank. Right.

Blah blah. Watch this one with the mute button on and surfing the net in the foreground.

Other warnings- Pokemon, Digimon, Yu-Gi-Oh, other kiddeme'. This is what drags anime's name down, guys.

DragonBall Z. Goku & Associates struggle to defeat strongest being in the universe. *counts* Five times, I think. Once "power levels" get up into the tens of millions it gets a little silly. And FUNimation's dubs/translations/pronounciations/dialoge modifications? Utter crap.

Tenchi In Tokyo- Killed. The. Series. *shakes fist*

Neon Genesis Evangelion (last couple of episodes + "movies")- The series is absolutely great up until the last "real" angel is destroyed, I believe. Then it devolves into a too-feckin'-philosophical-for-its-own-good overly depressing crapfest. The creator's a crazy wanker who shouldn't be allowed out of his box without heavy meds, and never be allowed fanmail since he apparently can't handle anything negative without further b0rking his previous work.

Blue Seed- ...WTF?? O_o!

Bubblegum Crisis- *hands it some juicy fruit so it will go away*

Macross (that I've seen. Besides Macross Plus, which rules)- Evil aliens defeated by various modifications of idol singers. In one case the enemy brought their own idol singers and they turned against said enemy. ... do I really have to say more?

Gundam Wing- Imagine giving the backstreet boys Mecha. Then giving another one to David Bowie and calling him Zechs.

(Taurus suits, for being so bloody expensive and ultra-high-tech, seem to be the ONLY things remotely viable later on in the series, and are destroyed in droves. Apparently humanity has discovered unlimited ore deposits.)

Cool Devices (bought third hand, copied tape with name written in pen. As in "Cool Devices/Anime" written in blue ink on a blanktape label)- THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH SPYING OR GADGETS OF ANY SORT!!!!!!!!!

Now, for less virulent warnings.

Ruroni Kenshin- This is a monetary warning! There are a LOT of DVD's to buy, and you WILL be buying them all once you start. JU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

Gunsmith Cats- BuildupbuildupbuildupCLIMAXeasedowneasedownANOTHER CLIMAXend.

^---- the pace of the series.

It's also too short for there being so much effort and research put into it. But that's the only other gripe.
