I thought of another anime that must be added to 
my list right now, even if no one finds this to 
read it.

5. Slayers - I bought the tv box set (I believe) 
very pumped up about watching the show.  An 
anime, set in a medieval setting with fantasy 
and magic.  I was sooo excited to watch it.  But 
then I watched the first two dvds in terror... I 
was bored out of my skull.  All that seemed to 
happen in the action-less, wordless, music-less 
show was that they killed a dragon.  One lousy 
dragon, and the characters were pourly written 
in.  I would actually rate this show worse than 
Escaflowne, simply because at least Escaflowne 
tried to always have something going on, they 
just failed miserably.  BUT Slayers, most of the 
show was people walking, in silence *sigh*
