Good/bad anime thread
Sigmaleph:
I've seen and loved: Hunter X Hunter*, Fullmetal Alchemist, Fate/stay night, Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex, Ranma 1/2, DBZ, Hellsing, Higurashi no Naku Koro ni and probably many more I'm forgetting.
I've seen bits and pieces of a dozens of other animes that I liked but never got around to watching fully, and I forget their names.
I've disliked very few animes. I've been sorely disappointed by Tenchi Muyo, not that it's bad but it just didn't live up to what I expected. Also the sexism is annoying.

Juna Starrider:
Can't say I've watched much anime (aside from Sailor Moon, the bastardized North American version as a child) But I did enjoy watching Death Note when it was on TV. Something about the combination of supernatural and just plain real old life, instead of humongous space mecha appealed to me. Plus the fact I found myself rooting for the 'bad' guy was a refreshing change.
I also have been watching Tales of Symphonia OVA, which sometimes even improves certain scenes of that excellent game.
Sixth Monarchist:
I liked Cowboy Bebop, it was a very good episode and it stood up fairly well after 26 viewings.
Snark aside, it was OK but not fantastic. Neon Genesis Evangelion also seems a little overrated, but that's probably because Shinji is just teenage me, if only I had, back in high school, piloted a giant fighting robot to save humanity in the aftermath of an apocalyptic future. And I did indeed do that, so it all seemed a bit unremarkable and familiar.
Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex is awesome, although the Complex arc easily overshadows the Stand Alone episodes.
FLCL, despite being more plaigirised excerpts of my autobiography, I cannot recommend enough.

How, in the love of all that is good, did I forget about Dragon Half and FLCL?
TheL:
Elfin Lied was the first show to make me cry.

Aside from that, I like everything Priestling just listed except Paranoia Agent. Just... bleh. Madoka, however, was pretty amazing.
And it is a crime that the thread has gone on this long without a mention of Lucky Star.
