Yeah they are. Damn Americans and their methods of ruining anime. Evil Anime-ruining-ers. But then again some of these American companies do a great job of ripping apart the legitimacy of classic anime...
Take DBZ and the "great" job they did with their dubbing and editing...
Do I even need to mention One Piece??

You absolutely should. It's my personal favourite of the series, just ahead of G and X. What can I say, I love the unconventional ones, though most of the others were damn good as well. I could even stand SEED, though Destiny was complete bullshit.

Yeah I will. Seed and Destiny were basically the same thing with more characters and different Gundams.

I guess my major beef is that at least in SEED, most of the characters knew why they were fighting. In Destiny, nobody fucking knew. Shinn sure as hell didn't know, and neither did Kira "Jesus" Yamato, despite all his blathering on about fighting for peace. I mean, hell, it was like Wing all over again.

I liked Wing, It was the first Gundam Series I watched...(Cartoon Network lolololololol -_-;;;;;)

Ive been watching Gundam 00 and it has some similiarities to Gundam Wing.

Kira "Jesus" Yamato lol.
Athrun "Crybaby" Zala. Actually all teh characters from Seed and Destiny were crybabies.
Remember in Destiny how those HUGE Destroy Mobile Armors manage destroy wholes Cities and Armies yet it takes liek 1 tiny ass gundam to beat it. I was like "What the fish is this ship?"

Goku, Gohan, Goten, Bardock, Turles(from the 3rd movie) and Goku Jr. were all voiced by Masako Nozawa, a veteran voice actress.

Anyway, I might get some flack for this, but I personally think Dragon Ball GT has the best soundtrack for an anime series. I really love the opening theme and all of the ending themes(especially the last one). They all just really fit the series well. I never heard the US opening theme, but I heard horrible things...

To be perfectly honest, the opening was just about the only thing I liked about GT. The whole series was basically post-ending filler and not really necessary.

Agreed. DBGT the series wasn't great at all, and I actually think they should've just stopped after the Cell saga.

Yeah, it's a shame the series had to suck noodles. The OVA is brilliant though; one of my all time fave animes.

Agreed on both counts. The opening for the OVA is nice as well, but cheesy as hell.

Well, yeah it's an 80s anime, most of the opening and endings were. Case in point: I love the Robotech series, but the opening and endings were TERRIBLE!
