You wouldn't be wrong about that. There's really only one character in there that's worth a damn imo. If you start watching I suggest sorting through the episodes because the series is littered with filler.

First time out of the vault
As someone who really loves One Piece ... I am kinda used to filler >_>.
But Casca is a real bitch, we can at least agree on that
.
If it ever happens that you have some very obsessive girl friend, who's doing some really crazy shit after you decide to brake up with her, that you will readily accept all the blame by the authorities once she burned the world down :p.

.Ew.
You know, we may have had our differences in the past but you, you're alright.

Which character are you talking about?

Rock Lee. He's the only one who made an impression on me. I liked his fighting style and spirit. To point where I wished he was the main character tbh
Though I should rephrase as I feel I exaggerated a little saying he's the only one worth a damn. I think a lot of characters had the potential to be good but it just wasn't being realized imo
Well, are you a male or female now, or ... bothYou know, we may have had our differences in the past but you, you're alright.
?Well, are you a male or female now, or ... both
So it's settled then. You're a ma-male.
Yes, now don't you ever miss-gender me again you fucking shitlord.

Yes, same as everybody: interesting if not very premise and starting chapter -> every hentai fetish in one scene
Jiraiya is Obi Wan done right. Pain & company were cool and one of the objectively best, Itachi.

I should save my game in a whole new slot
Ghost in the Shell (1st and 2nd GiG)
Great Teacher Onizuka
FullMetal Alchemist: Brotherhood
One Punch Man
Gintama
TTGL (Gurren Lagann)
Fate/Zero (did not like the new Stay Night nor the old ones)
2 Makoto Shinkai films (5 Cm per second, Garden of Words)
Some Miyazaki films(Spirited Away etc.)
Some Mamoru Hosoda films (Summer Wars etc.)
These are the anime that stick out the most to me for being good.

Sure did. Had a good premise and idea but did not do much with it and progressively got worse as the series went on. I prefer the Abridged version over it.
Yup.
I'm also a bit of a minimalist when it comes to anime appreciation. I always loved Akira, which I first saw as a kid. It terrified me, but in such a sweet delicious way. I then found out original comic books existed, but never had the means to get my hands on them.
Then I did.
Then I cried with joy, and grew a stiffy.

Oh yea I've also seen Spirited Away. I like the Japanese and their cartoon stuff. They are actually rivalling Disney, and that is no small feat. Anime characters are even cuter (kawaii!!) then the Disney rats and rodents. And the anime characters can pick up guns and start blasting mofos away all of a sudden. They move seamlessly from "aww, cute" to "omg no!". I can't imagine Donald Duck picking up a pair of magnums and blasting folks.
Oh yea Akira, I think I saw the live action movie. And Tetsuo. Some strong meat there.
Thing about Japanese-vs-Western animation is that this isn't so much a "Japanese thing" as it is a "not Hollywood, for a change"-thing.
Miyazaki impresses western, hollywood-saturated viewers with the absense of a predictable good-versus-evil approach (which we have since gotten better at appreciating with series like Game of Thrones), but this kind of entertainment has always existed.
The main problem is that the Hollywoody formulae just drowns everything else away when it comes to tickets and marketing.
Same with visual style. As much as I've allowed some Japanese media to influence my style, I don't really like when people suggest it is manga-inspired, because it really is not. It is just NOT very Disney-inspired or NOT particularily Marvel/DC-inspired
It is a pity European animation and comics have gotten almost forgotten over time, but there are some real treasures to be found there.
Realism, unorthodox storytelling, detailed art, dynamic effects etc are not the sole domain of Japanese art
Example of Italian comic "Keepers of the Maser"
or French artist "Moebius"
/rant
and... as for Donald Duck and guns
He's 'Murrican after all
I can't be the only one, so.
You know, when watching animes what is sometimes disturbing? Dubbing. Or what ever it is called. No clue. The only way where I can really enjoy most animes, is if they talk in Japanese with subbtitles. There are very few animes, where I can stand the voice acting.
Someone else feels the same?

I often can't stand the japanese voices. Mostly in the more kids-oriented animes like Naruto or One Piece, though. But there the english and german dubs are just as awful, so why even bother with that shit.

Amen brother.
I had an opportunity to test all variants and Japanese and subtitles are the best.
The only time I enjoyed english dub was in game Fairy Fencer F. The anime though, it sucks.
I may not be a proper guy to say it, but I find japanese language beautiful. Especially compared to chinese.
English is okay, german sounds like a constant cursing, russian is unnusual but not bad - wolf and rabbit cartoon. Can't say about others.

I'm more for reading subs than hearing dubs though there are a few exceptions to this like Cowboy Bebop (Steven Blum) and Dragon Ball (Goku still sounds like a woman even as a full adult male). Shows like Gintama are better heard in Japanese due to the slang and jokes used only being able to work in Japanese (and when directly translating them for dubs, something will be lost in translation). Then again, I don't speak Japanese so I won't get some of those jokes and slangs either.
