Pokemon (Whenever I can watch it. New episodes don't air much here in Britain. =/)
Naruto (I haven't gotten to watch much and I've only seen a few episodes. However, I do read the manga.)
And that's pretty much it.
I've watched other anime, but those are the only ones that have really stood out as my favourites. ^^

Champloo and Bebop are all kinds of awesome.
I like FLCL a lot myself. A friend introduced it to me years ago and sent me some Japanese episodes to watch. I think my brain exploded the first time I watched it through. When it was finally released in English, I bought all of the DVDs at their steep price of $30 apiece for two episodes.
Now, you can get the whole set for fifty dollars, with a voucher for a T-shirt, postcards, a book, and a swanky box to put everything in that's different than mine. Sometimes, I cry myself to sleep over this.
My List
1) Shaman King (4 kids English anime dub only)
2) Dragonball Z
3) Pokemon (Indigo League)
...
10) Pokemon (post Indigo League)
Someone convince me about Naruto. I was just hot off the DBZ series when this showed up claiming to be the next DBZ. I watched it on Youtube and I didn't like it. It premiered here in in the Indian subcontinent in June 2007 and its poor ratings got the show cancelled and replaced with (even I agree this is worse than Naruto) Bakugan Battle Brawlers.
Why it doesn't move me. Well here's why:
CAUTION!!! MINOR SPOILERS!!!
1) It's so SLOW. I mean, I saw the fights at the hall with the giant justsu hand statue and I just can't see how any fighter could actually pause the battle for 15 minutes and just stand and stare, chat, have overly space out camera shots of the silent spectators, (2 to 3 word comments that don't add to the drama if any of them choose to speak). I mean I have head alot of flaming from anime fans of how the dubs used to kill off the emotional scenes due to faster paced editing but now that I see the fullness of silent slowpaced-ness it really puts me off. I mean do we have to have an emotional scene slow down after every 5 minutes!
2) The slowness is made more unbearable by the deafening silence. I know that silence is a norm in anime but if no music is playing shouldn't there be something going on in the episode that warrants the need for silence like someone is doing something or some truly essential dialogue is taking place. I mean just watch Samurai Jack which never uses any musical score whatsoever but always is engaging. Truly for me, watching Naruto is like watching a slideshow.
3) Is it me or do people like to bleed in Naruto. I'm not taking about your average mouthbleed. I mean ... you all know what I mean. Do we have to enjoy such stuff. I actually laugh my head off when I watch a gory ALIEN movie but in Naruto, they just stand there...bleeding...trying, I think, to make it look cool.
4) The other cast of Naruto (minus Team 7) kind of look diseased. I'm pretty fine to see the Japanese culture around, but to me everyone else looks like a drug addict or pervert. I mean look at Itachi: thin, gaunt, hair infront of his face, hardly speaks, likes to bleed, if says anything it is related to death and decay etc. Or the infamous Orochimaru whos 10 inch wide 5 foot long tongue sticking out in that episode of the exams before the they went into that forest and after that crazy baldy gave Naruto an exam pass made me just shut the TV off. This list is too long.
5) There is too much extreme Fan service. I mean go back to that same episode and look at the see through mesh the teacher is wearing. That episode actually spent the whole time engaged in giving closeups of her torso. Shouldn't that episode be focused on how dangerous the forest exam is going to be? The detours using Fanservice is unnvering. Then comes Tsunade (shudder). I simply hate her. She isn't pretty, she just doesn't wear much. (At least she thinks bleeding is uncool). Okay, girls in Pokemon may not wear much but they aren't so lewd as the girls in Naruto!
Plus do we need guys who are such perverts to be hogging episodes and episodes of the series: Jiraya and Kakashi. I mean perverts usually are minor or sidelined characters like Oolong or Master Roshi in DBZ. I really liked Kakashi, but he lost me when that book of his turned out to be X rated. Ash is far superior to Naruto-kun. He isn't gender confused.
6) The whole plot is kinda stupid. Is this a story of an underdog ninja (Naruto) or some lame-o revenge seeking drug addict (Sasuke). I mean they actually have a really unhealthy dose of Sasuke mania in the Naruto world. The girls are after him, Naruto is after him, Orochimaru is after him , Kabuto is after him etc. etc. etc. Then they give an entire saga on nothing but CHASING AFTER SASUKE! The guy just doesn't really have anything or do much. Just because he is part of an ancient ninja family, can cover his body in strange black marks or sprout wings later one doesn't make him cool in my books. (Besides Sephiroth of Advent Children and Silva of Shaman King are way much cooler with wings. Heck Silva is even voiced by Mewtwo!)
7) Ninja's? There are way cooler ninjas out there people! just watch the videos of the new PS3 game MK vs DC universe and stare at awe at the might of Subzero and Scorpion.
8) The Battles of Naruto. Although they are a break from just punching and kicking like in all other genres, they just aren't as cool as the legendary battles of DBZ and Mortal Kombat. Although Lee's battle with Gaara was cool but... Heck! even a bulbasaur's solarbeam can really thrash up the stuff Naruto's world has got out there.
Vegeta: "They aren't even 90!"
Nine Tailed Demon FOX?!
Mewtwo/Deoxys/Arceus: "Don't make us laugh..."
Shao Kahn: "Hey that's my line!"
Giovanni: "Where's that accursed Master Ball? PERSIAN! THAT'S NOT A TOY TO BE USED WHEN YOU ARE IN YOUR LITTER BOX!!!!!!"
I know that many of you really want to flame me, but for the good of the poor late Hokage (may he rest in peace) please take this as some constructive critisism. I just want to be convinced about Naruto, that's all.
