Anybody got any other anime to recommend?  I watched the first 6 episodes of Inuyasha (as well as a few episodes on Adult Swim), and it seems pretty damn boring.

Super Milk Chan just doesn't do it for me. Gundam Wing/Hellsing was really good and serious. Cowboy Bebop is a good example of comedy w/o Japanese stupid shit.</div>

Good ZRO Limit/Animaze dub, too. What was wrong with Wolf's Rain?</div>

Wolf's Rain was made by the same cats that did Bebop, however it didn't live up to those godly standards. Samurai Champloo however is extremely awesome, you must download it.</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>Yeah, they broke off from Anime Heaven, which was the best one after AonE and ANBU broke up. You can DB is Naruto-only :-)</div>

A few reasons.

<div style='font: 9pt Arial; text-align: left; '>I just thought it was boring. I watched all the way to the end, hoping there would be some cool plot twist, but I was disappointed. I don't know, the whole wolves masquerading as humans never really appealed to me in the first place. I also thought that it was overly dramatic, but that's probably because I didn't like the majority of the characters. Oh, and lastly, while most other series have one, maybe two recap episodes, Wolf's Rain has four.

The series does have its moments, but they're only meaningful if you watched the series long enough to know the characters, but those moments alone weren't worth the time I spent watching 30 episodes.

But hey, give it a shot. You might like it. Just follow your instincts and stop watching if you get the feeling that the whole premise is stupid.</div>
