You see, I was a huge Ranma 1/2 fan as I got into anime.. so I knew Rumiko Takahashi's problem with serial comics, never developing characters/relationships, and endings that don't tie things up. At least Inuyasha has a real ending..
True story, I watched the first 50-100 episodes of the anime, then skipped to the last several chapters of the manga years later to see how the series ended and found out that I missed absolutely nothing of importance by skipping about half of the series.

Death Note was alright. The anime came out around the same time as Code Geass season 1 so there were too interesting shows with anti-heroes to contrast against each other. The thing with Death Note is it relied too heavily on contrivance and coincidental circumstance.. and drug on too long. Code Geass had a fallible anti-hero protagonist but then fell too heavily into mecha merchandising and pulled a Gundam SEED Destiny where the second season tried too hard to pander to the fans and sucked

Here, here. Gurren Lagan is the latest anime in my top 5 favorites. I enjoyed Macross Frontier as well before I stopped watching anime altogether, but it could not surpass Macross Plus.
