The anime changes your mind.

james cameron's avatar is the highest grossing film ever, that doesn't mean its good. Everyone went to see it because of how it looked graphically. The entire plot was poop, the characters were bland, and it was filled with plotholes.

2nd Bleach and Naruto are second and fourth by popularity meaning watched by most people. If everytihng was 300+ episodes, with no end in sight, everything would be as popular as they are. if you look at the actual average scores of Bleach and both Naruto and naruto Shippuden, neither of them go above the average of 8.0/10.

If you want to go by scores, they aren't even in the top 30. Do you know what is?
Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya
Full metal Achemist: Brotherhood
Clannad: After Story
Code Geass
Death Note
Cowboy Bebop
Spirited Away
Baccano
Durarara

Just to name a few, all way better than both (or in this case all 3 if you want to count them individually) could ever be.

the "problem" with those series is thet they have ended, and yes. I have seen them all.
and I think you missed some very good

Fate Stay Night
Hellsing
Kiba

[Silver]

yes, those are good as well, but I just wanted to name a few, if i were to name all of the things before naruto, i would have to name 746 animes.

Naruto is ranked at 747
Shippuden is ranked at 533
Bleach is ranked at 483

I would be typing all day.

Click here for a full list Gammal, I'm always open to reccomendations.

I meant 2nd and fourth in my opinion, The ones you listed, I've seen most of, and they are really good as well.

[TrainerX]

 So which one is best?

[DarK_SouL]

In my opinion, Soul Eater, that anime is great.
Then Naruto
Then Bleach
Then uh, probably FMA
(Pokemon is somewhere.)
I can remember the others, I watch a lot of anime.

[TrainerX]

 I'll see if I like Soul Eater.

[DarK_SouL]

Yeah, Chibi recoommended it to me, a while back (I miss Chibi)

Anyway, it is weird at first, but it has some epic stuff.

[TrainerX]

 I'm just starting to watch it. Waiting for it to load a bit.

[DarK_SouL]

Ah, hope you liek.

[Desbear]

I'm just starting to watch it. Waiting for it to load a bit.

its ok, the ending is rished and stupid though, You'll learn to hate black star, but its an all around ok anime if you just imagine it didnt have an ending.

Naruto is a great series. I love it cause it is long. It has never dropped from my number one spot. I dont love it cause of ever other douche out there, but cause in all, it is a great series.

Except for the fillers, but then again, I read the manga and watch the manga episodes. Thats how we do it here lol.

Soul Eater is a great anime as well, blackstar is my fav character. He is strong in his own way. He doesn't follow conformity and wants to find his own way. Hes a real character.

Though, if i am to watch an anime, it has to have an in depth story line.

Still, I believe the manga beats most animes.

like Naruto and Soul Eater, the manga is way better.

Anime exists for hentai.

Moving on, then:
I don't watch Anime. Or TV in general. Strictly movies, computer, and video games for me. When I DID watch the show, about two years ago, it didn't effect my opinion of the pokemon at all. The only thing it served to do was explain to me why there needs to be a serious antagonist in the series. I mean, obviously Pokemon isn't a dark, edgy story, but it still needs to get serious sometimes.

Which is why i liked Team Rocket before they were comic relief.
