Actually, I liked the bitchy suzuka for a change. Resembles real life in anime (which you seem to see less and less these days XD)

That and honey and clover, I hated every character except the spy guy, that little girl espicially. I wanted to choke her all the way through.die :glare:
I always thought Honey & Clover was pretty bad myself . . . .

Hahaha, something about the little girl bothered me sooo much, and since she was kinda the focus point I began hating the other characters except for the funny spy guy. She was like 2 inches tall and was always crying, soooo irratating. As for Suzuka, i’ve never met a girl as snobish as her, I think they blew her bad qualities out of proportion.
but hagu 
anyway XD suzuka had her reasons at first for disliking akitsuki he resembled the dead dude she admired so much, while having all the aspects that she hates in a person. Plus he looked like a pervert at first (even more so in the manga).
But like I said, I found suzuka to be a good chance of pace 
I tend to want stuff to turn out well, but if stuff doesn’t go bad enough before it goes well it doesn’t feel right, and lets just say it couldn’t have gone more wrong with suzuka 
Man that that you guys mention it Suzuka was AWFUL. Dunno why i finished it expect expectation something else to happen every episode, but never having it come to fruition…
Still not as bad as haruhi though> Nothing ever has been or ever will be… except maybe a sequel.
Well mest, every anime has to have rough ends or its just a happy 24 episode anime. If their are no problems along the way it would be rather boring right? But the way I see it, there was no happy ending 
.
Well I disliked haruhi only because of all the critics claiming it was amazing, I mean its not the worst anime ever, but it wasn’t anywhere close to what my expectations were. In fact if it was six feet under

Ghost in the Shell (yes, even the movie)It’s actually pretty easy to dislike the movie, it’s an acquired taste. Not only do you need to like the GitS universe, but you also need to “get” Oshii - the director. He has a very artsy style that turns off a lot of casual viewers - I didn’t like it at first. You probably wouldn’t like his other movies (Patlabor, Avalon) for the same reasons you didn’t like the GitS movies.

The story is so circonvoluted it's almost impossible to understand (still have to understand what a stand alone complex exactly is...but I don't care anymore). About 50% of every episode is talking with slow jazzy music in the background. The whole thing is cold, intellectual, there's no emotion. I hate the main character. She's the smartest, the strongest, she's always right, never makes any mistakes and she knows it. She's too perfect to be likable. The 3 OSTs are wonderful though but it takes time to enjoy them - which means it's excellent music but not a good soundtrack. 'course all of this is only my own opinion.....A standalone complex is (as I understand it) a complex social meme that doesn’t have any central control. For instance, when there is an assassination attempt on the chief of police in the first series, it involved a number of individuals acting in concert with each other, but without any coordination. We see an artificial standalone complex in 2nd Gig, with the Individual 11, who work together but don’t organize themselves.
Yeah ghost in the shell wasn’t my type of movie/anime. Didn’t understand all the fuss over it but to each his own.
Inuyasha I was really interested at first then there was like 30 episodes in which nothing happens.
very true zengaijin, same here i was looking for more action than a silly little girl not confessing her love to some half-dog demon

Mobile Suit Gundam…i’m not too sure, but i think the english version killed this series for me. it was just so annoying hearing quatre’s voice as amaro.

I'd say the movie is more accessible than the series and the manga because Oshii's style and Kenji Kawaii's music make it worth watching even if one doesn't like the GitS universe. IMHO Masamune Shirow isn't a great scenarist when left alone, Oshii's touch soften it a bit and put the focus a bit more on the characters. But my opinion is biased because the movie is my favourite part of the GitS "saga".QUOTE (kira80;146347)

But my opinion is biased because the movie is my favourite part of the GitS "saga".You might be right - I suppose it’s accessibility is related to one’s taste in movies. My circle of friends generally like action/epics, which maintain a fairly fast pace. Oshii seems to purposefully pace his movies in stops and starts - a lot of action or some momentous event will occur, and then he’ll basically take five minutes out of the movie to give the audience time to reflect on it. If you’re the reflective type (as far as tastes in movies go), Oshii’s movies will be more accessible than something with a typical pacing. I enjoy sort of zoning out and pondering movies. But in my experience, most people have to get used to that style.
You might like to pickup Avalon some time if you haven’t seen it yet. It’s very Oshii - kinda an anti-Matrix. Similar themes, different styles and conclusions.

That’s why the first two Patlabor movies are among my all time favorite animated films. Oshii’s storytelling always moves at a pace that makes you actually thing about what is going on the screen . . . .
ok, guys
this might be right to some ppl, but i have to say it
the anime i dislike (i’ve been pondering a while for this anime, since its been the show that got me into anime in the first place) is DBZ, i know what some of u think about this “what hell were you thinking”
dont get me wrong, one of best anime…(the battles, energy blast, fusion, spirit bomb, etc…etc), but why the hell do they take 4-5 eps just to transform or shoot a kamehameha (is it spell right)…
and lets not the forget the talking, oh man do they ever stop…also the transformation from one lvl to the next…well i can keep going about this anime…like i said i dont dislke the plot (should’ve mention that earlier), is how it was anime goes.
was this mention earlier in the thread, cause i dont remember and to lazy to go to pg 1 to to chk

i just remember something, is digimon (i believe the 2nd or 3rd season) a anime…well for this one i like it, but they should have stop going when the ‘wargreymon’ part ended…
care to add more to this feel free…

Kimi ga Nozomu Eien (100% torture)
Onegai Twins (this could have been good if it was 3 eps)
Saikano
Fushigi Yuugi
Groove Adventure Rave
Gun Grave (the first 2 episodes were badass, but the rest sucked)
Kimi ga nozomu was popular? I also thought it was pretty horrible.
