Sailor Moon cont'd: Let's move on to the senshi. 
We have the lesbians, Uranus and Neptune (Haruka 
and Michiri...Amara and Michelle in the dub, 
respectively (changed to cousins for American 
audiences)). Uranus is strong, hysterically so, 
along with Neptune, and they have their own sense 
of morals separate from the Inner Senshi. They 
almost kill Usagi ("Serena") more than once in 
their distrust of her. Then there's Setsuna. 
She's sentenced to an eternal of loneliness, 
forbidden to see other people. Ever. And yet she 
still fights for the queen that sent her there. 
And with a whole lot of power, too. And now onto 
the most enthralling senshi, the senshi of 
Death...Saturn. A character with a weak body and 
a psychotic father, as well as a dual personality 
syndrome. One personality wants to protect the 
world, and the other personality wants to destroy 
it. The evil personality wins. Most of the S 
season consists of Neptune and Uranus trying to 
find and KILL Saturn. They could care less about 
innocent people. I won't even go into Stars and 
the fact that men tranform into women ^^

Big O: To tell the truth, with my hatred of 
American produced anime, I never even bothered to 
watch the dub of this one. The animation looked 
awesome, though, from the bits I saw, so I really 
can't see where you say the animation was 
lacking...and it seemed to have a very nice 
atmosphere to it, akin to "Steam Detectives". The 
mecha looked nice enough, too. 

Dragon Ball: A classic action anime. Many people 
find the interesting and jarring character design 
appealing, because they do not strive to 
be "pretty" just for the audience...this anime is 
trying to say "strong men would LOOK that way". 
The fact that we have Vegeta, practically a 
villian, fighting along side with Goku and 
Piccolo (who is allied with no one, only fights 
when it benefits him) for most of the series is 
something very interesting to see. Also, this 
series plays with the very desirable time travel 
concept...son from the future comes back and 
meets his unknowing father and mother...in this 
case, Trunks meets Bulma and Vegeta. This concept 
is desirable because it is very fan pleasing. Now 
add lots and lots of action, lots of angst, and 
sometimes disgusting gore, and you have a series 
set to please a large contingent.

Cowboy Bebop: Right...I REALLY don't think you 
paid attention to this one. The main characters 
in this series are ALL adults, save Ed. If bounty 
hunters, sexy vixens who have been cryogenically 
frozen, gansters, hermpahroditic drug dealers, ex-
cops with prosthetic arms, computer geeks, and 
really really messed up pasts aren't your thing, 
I could understand...but this show was NOT made 
for kids. Despite the fact that Cartoon Network 
bills their run as "unedited" this is NOT true. 
They edited out a lot ^^ Like said hermaphroditic 
drug dealer's breasts are at one point shown, 
when we find out he is NOT a he ^^ (They also 
edit out how he got that way. He was sent to 
prison at the end of a war. There, he got 
addicted to a drug in order to cope, and it 
changed his physiology. NOW he deals the same 
drug on the streets). There's even an episode 
where Ed eats mushrooms and hallucinates. Not to 
mention the fact that the life of a bounty hunter 
entails much death, as well as seduction, in 
order to get your victim. Yet in the end, this 
series boils down to the simplest things: love 
and friendship. The entire series could be summed 
up in those two words. Now tack on awesome music 
by Yoko Kanno and you've got a winner.
