Black Lagoon. The rest are way too flawed for me to enjoy watching. Oh, and
Yu Yu Hakusho was a most excellent
Dragon Ball Z clone. At least it is ten times better than
Bleach. I'd watch that any day over anything else mentioned in this topic
I guess you either have terrible taste or are too hardheaded to give the stuff mentioned here a fair chance. Mind telling me why the shows mentioned in this thread are "too flawed" and some mediocre shounen anime like Yu Yu Hakusho isn't?
I'll take the Pepsi Challenge any day if it ever came down to "taste" for anything, even when and where it's a matter of opinion. It's a fact modern animu has shifted to CG, moe, fanservice, and kid pilots. It'll be like saying arcade and console shoot-'em-ups today are better than the ones from before
Yu Yu Hakusho:
1. Varied theme opening and ending songs, each as catchy as the last one.
2. Hand-drawn animation.
3. Botan and the girls were drawn as "cute," but not annoyingly moe. They still retained the look of teenagers, not of pre-teens.
4. Better voice acting: Again, the female voice actresses weren't comprised of high-pitched twats.
5. While the series may sound long, it was around 96 episodes (compared to 300+ episodes of
Bleach!).
The lower limit for a television series to be good should be around 26 episodes, while 52 episodes would be optimal, and 90+ would be the upper limit. This creates a more involving environment that the audience can take in and accept. The progression of drama, action, adventure, etc. passes without being abrupt, which is another flaw modern junk has due to being made in short 12-episode spurts.
