Here's my list, ranging from fairly family-friendly ones, to slightly more mature ones, to medium mature ones, to the really mature ones (either due to violence or inappropriate content that I do NOT care for and it could have easily done without, but can ignore to focus on the story and battles, and am usually rewarded with an epic or spectacular villain death at the end, or, in one case, the middle, because due to the first anime on this list I really love the villain deaths)

In the order I saw them:


 * 1) Sailor Moon (original dub, R.I.P. coz it was murdered)
 * 2) Pokemon (stopped after Season 5, except for select epic episodes by the Misty/Charizard-loving writer, Atsuhiro Tomioka)
 * 3) Dragonball Z (original dub)
 * 4) Digimon
 * 5) Digimon Tamers
 * 6) Yu-Gi-Oh
 * 7) Monster Rancher
 * 8) Gundam Wing
 * 9) Black Lagoon
 * 10) Soul Eater
 * 11) Fullmetal Alchemist
 * 12) Fairy Tail (quit after Phantom Lord arc)
 * 13) Ikki Tousen
 * 14) Sailor Moon Crystal
 * 15) Digimon Frontier
 * 16) Glitter Force
 * 17) Inuyasha
 * 18) Naruto (paused, currently on hold)
 * 19) Death Note
 * 20) Cross Ange

Dragonball Z, Digimon, Digimon Tamers, and Inuyasha are the most fun for me.

Sailor Moon, Sailor Moon Crystal, Yu-Gi-Oh, Monster Rancher, Gundam Wing, and Soul Eater were pretty good too.

About average: Black Lagoon, Fullmetal Alchemist, Digimon Frontier, Glitter Force (a bit repetitive but has a sinister Dark Form villain who gets vaporized, that wins my respect easily), Naruto, Death Note.

Ikki Tousen and Cross Ange are fun in their own way but I don't like the excessive and unnecessary mature content (though for the former I picked it out for that reason, as a challenge to ignore it and focus on the stuff I do like, and got a spectacular rainbowfied reward at the end when Sousou is destroyed).

Fairy Tail was kinda fun at times, but not really my style so I gave up on it. I'd put it below average.

As for Pokemon, I don't know if I'd like it if I first started watching today but it does have nostalgic value. (Plus I really like Pikachu, Misty, and Charizard)

One more thing: I am a purist of the English dubs.
