One Piece. It's not so much as hate towards it because I've only seen very little of the dubbed version. It's more like it's not for me. I don't really care much for pirate shows, movies. (outside of Pirates of the Carribbean)
Believe it or not, it's an incredibly popular series, even in Japan. Obviously, the dubbed version is awful (as any dubs are, no offense to fans) but perhaps the Japanese version is better?

No one said you had to watch it...Panuru was simply suggesting it, meaning if you want to check it out, feel free, if you don't, then don't. There's no need to get all dramatic about it. I can understand your sentiments about Azumanga Daioh though, because this series isn't too appealing to me, even after reading the English translated manga.

Well that's good that the show seemed to appeal to you, even though if you haven't seen the first season, it might come off as too boring...second season is full of action and more plot twists, just to let you know ahead of time.

I believe there is a manga series of Trinity, but it's very hard to find, for some reason (even in Japan). I know for sure that it's based off of a Japanese novel, then turned to a manga series...again, I don't know if you can find the manga or even downloads. I'm sorry, I can't help you here.

Well, maybe I should clarify the whole "Vash-Alucard" combo thing: Abel is more like Vash in terms of personality (goofiness, clumsiness, etc.) but his skills are like Alucard (and the fact that he's a vampire too) and Vash combined. I hope I cleared up Abel's personality/character a bit better. The combination does work surprisingly, but, like I said before, if you're tired of this cliched combination, then Trinity wouldn't be a good series to watch. And I agree: there are better vampire series out there.
