Now excuse me as I pop in a disc of NGE Platinum collection....
I love the Neon Genesis Evangelion series and the rebuild movies. Such fantastic character development and moral exploration. I am also fond of Claymore.
I hate dozens of other anime's, but off the top of my head I'm gonna go with Bleach. Just stupid and not entertaining.

Cowboy Bebop: Because it's the only anime I can really tolerate.
Everything else I have seen: Because the English dubs are usually Godawful and the Japanese is full of sex-noises.

Yes, it's amazing how gore doesn't immediately make something exciting to me, I must be out of my mind.captainwillies said:
Here's what I saw:
A lab somewhere genetically engineers girls with pink hair, horns that look suspiciously like catgirl ears, and these four invisible arms called "vectors" that can sever peoples' limbs. They turn out one called Lucy who goes berserk and murders practically everyone in the lab. She gets shot right smack-dab in the head by a sniper, falls into the ocean, and washes up onshore in a completely different anime with her memory basically wiped clean and her personality regressed to a childlike state that, again, suspiciously mirrors purile catgirl behavior, even to the point where the only word she's capable of saying is "niu!" She's found and taken in by this really awkward, really lonely, really oblivious and downright CREEPY teenage dude who totally doesn't think those horns are worth mentioning as long as he can have a pet catgirl. He's going through this slice-of-life affair where he's moving into his own place and has this tenuous friendship with a lady-friend who's clearly and rightfully disgusted with his relationship with Lucy, all the while oblivious to her obvious (and somewhat inexplicable) crush on him.
There's predictable communication issues as he tries to teach her to do chores and depends on her at one point to take care of him when he gets sick, and predictable (and contrived) sexual tension as in spite of her obviously childlike state of mind he still thinks of her as a girl his age and a sex object; there's a particularly contrived scene where she accidentally bumps her boob into him, is surprised at how good it feels, grabs his hand, and makes him massage her breast, to the disgust of the aforementioned lady-friend. The show struggles to be funny with moments like this but ultimately fails in the face of how DOWNRIGHT CREEPY yet also downright BLAND this guy is. If his voice actor's soul were a food, it would be gruel. That goes for both the Japanese AND the American versions.
Every so often we switch from Anime B to Anime A again as Lucy occasionally jumps back-and-fourth from being a harmless retarded girl to being a stereotypically cold-hearted killing machine. The lab tries to get her back with the help of another pink-haired girl whose name I can't remember and ultimately doesn't matter since she dies the episode she's introduced in anyway, whose vectors are longer than Lucy's but less powerful and whose personality and overall vibe is so vapid and so loli it makes me want to vomit my soul. In the ensuing fight with Lucy she gets all four of arms and legs severed and becomes a torso stump--but manages to blind Lucy by blocking her optic nerves with her vectors or some shit like that. Lucy is once again conked on the head and reverts back to the harmless catgirl personality for more obnoxious slice of life pet catgirl antics.
That's the Elfin Lied I watched. How about you?
Like:
Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann
The Big O
RahXephon
G Gundam
Code Geass
Eureka 7
(Wow, I really like mecha anime)
Trigun
...and others that I forget. Might edit 'em in later
Dislike:
Most anime adaptations of manga (I'm looking at you, Naruto, Bleach, etc.).
Eh:
Surpisingly, Cowboy Bebop. I must have watched at least half of the episodes, and I don't really care to go back. I don't understand it myself.

I'm gunna name two of each!! 
Likes; Elfin Lied and Ergo Proxy.
Why Elfin Lied? A girl blowing peoples heads off with two invisable arms. Might I continue
Why Ergo Proxy? Animation/design is amazing, and the horror elements are delicious.
Two I hate? Dragon Ball Z and Naruto.
Explanation? Do I need one?

I don't remember there being any 'religious' stuff in Elfin Lied, less you thought the opening I guess... Stiff? Lucy was amazing, totally not Stuff. Pretentious story? No really, did you really watch the whole Anime?captainwillies said:
Loved: I'm going with a more obscure choice and saying Claymore, particularly the teresa arc, which is the greatest thing in the history on anything.
Full metal alchemist is probably my all round favourite though, I love the characters so much.
Hated: For something I've watched enough of to judge: Gantz. I hated it. It was slow paced, every single character was completely unlikeable, the mystery was boring, and it was totally nihilistic for no reason. It just reveled in brutality. I gave up after 8 or 9 episodes when nothing happened and I didn't like anyone even remotely more than when I started. I know there's worse, but that's the only one I've been severely let down with.

Oh thank God, I though I was alone in that regard. Though I'm hoping it slows the hell down when it catches up to the divergent part, that'd fix a lot. I watched a couple of brotherhood episodes and the pacing was totally off: It was flying though the storyline with no room to breathe, and no developing the characters like last time. To be honest I think they should have just started back to when the anime started changing, right now I'm finding it hard to watch when I see everything that's been done before, only ten times better.Jumplion said:
Love: Monster, Code Geass, Darker than Black, Gundam Wing, School Rumble, Clannad, Bakemonogatari, among many others.
Hate: Naruto(couldn't get into it), the filler seasons in Bleach, DN Angel(if I remember the name correctly), Claymore(I'm sorry, but every time that kid cried...son of a ***** I wanted to strangle him with dental floss)

I TRIED reading Suzuka. I hated it. It could never get beyond the most basic of all romance cliches- that the main couple obviously like each other, but the man always ends up in a compromising situation because of a combination of bad luck and his own stupidity, and the girl always ends up bitching him out because she can't be honest about her own feelings. I couldn't get beyond 4 or 5 volumes, largely because I couldn't help but feel that Akutsuki would just be better off with Honoka (Suzuka was just too much of an annoying *****).Jonluw said:
I already know all about the Key-game-based anime (AIR as well). I need to get around to finishing playing the game- they finally released a complete version of the English patch not too long ago.yoshilinks said:

Arg, I can't name too many at the moment as I haven't seen much anime in a very long time but that's what I remember.

Anime I love:
Hellsing - whats not to love about Dracula fighting for the British Queen against a horde of other vampires using a vast array of vampiric powers and heavy calibre guns. He's a vampire in the same sense that a P-1000 Landkreuzer Ratte is a tank and personally, thats how it should be
Anime I hate:
Elfen Lied - the dismemberment of children is not a good thing at all

Love: Ouran high school host club, Code Geass, Bleach, Gurren Laggan, Ghost Stories, Yugioh (Don't judge me), Hitman Reborn, Fairy Tail and FMA. There is also many others, but can't be bothered to mention them.
Hate: Seikon Qwaser, One Piece, Blood+(I just found it boring.) Also Umineko No Naku Koro NI. I found it interesting at first, but towards the end, it became a mess.

I loved Cowboy Bebop.I just finished it today.And it's the best anime that I have finished.Even if Elfen Lied is still my favorite anime.
I hate,hate,hate One Piece.There is just nothing that is appealing to it for me.The jokes are unfunny,the characters are unlikeable,and like 15th every episode is a recap episode.I.E. filler.
