I’ve seen the earlier anime on tv years ago, such as Speed Racer, Astroboy and Kimba the White Lion. There are so many new ones on tv, that I have trouble deciding which to see. ---

I watch Cartoon Network as well, **Kid C** , but I can’t quite tolerate Yugi. Anime battles stretched out over several episodes with filler material annoy me, but stretching a hand of cards out that way drives me nuts. I watch everything else on your list, though. I particularly like _Trigun_ and _Inuyasha_. I don’t see _Cowboy Bebop_ or _Outlaw Star_ on your list–did you not like them, or did you just miss them? Maybe CN will bring them back at some point. I could stand to see some _Tenchi_ again, too. I miss Ryoko. 😉 ---

_Sulks_ I want Cartoon Network…anyway, I watch Yu Gi Oh, Gundam Wing, Dragonball Z,Digimon,Beyblade,Card Captor Sakura, I’ve probably forgotten something, and I’ll be watching Inuyasha and Shaman King in the fall(Dreading the dub here…anime should come subtitled…I heard something about Gravitation being dubbed, and I’d look forward to that…unless they tried to edit everything, kill the point, make Shuichi a girl, etc. I also wouold hope they’d keep the original music, because it’s so important to the series…moviewise, Princess Mononoke/Grave of the Fireflies are two of my favorite movies… ---

I hope you’re right–they left so much stuff hanging at the point where they cut off _Inuyasha_. I want to see how some stuff turns out. **Ri-chan** , the dub isn’t too bad for _Inuyasha_–Inuyasha is voiced by the same guy that does Quicksilver for _X-Men: Evolution_, and it works pretty well. ---

The first anime I really watched was Sailor Moon. It was showed in synication on a local channel, but they stopped showing it after the season three (four?) finale, the clip show in which the Scouts debate who should be the leader. Maybe they didn’t have the rights for the following seasons. I currently watch Pokémon, Yu-Gi-Oh!, and Ruroni Kenshin on a regular basis. I also watch Samurai Jack, but I’m not sure that that’s considered an anime. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/do-you-like-anime/192683.md?page=2)
