You left out Samurai Jack, Nate!

Actually, Darkwing Duck and Megas XLR had storylines of a sort, too... although they could have been considerably better developed.

Star Trek, the Animated Series had an episodic structure, just like the original live action series, but it had arguably some off the best writing in animated TV history from any national origin (and if you haven't seen it, don't argue with your elders!)

I thought that the ending to Fullmetal Alchemist was good. Are we talking about the anime ending or the movie(Which tagged on with the ending of the anime) ending?


What about Thundercats? I liked that show.
Oh and Samurai Jack was an awesome show. I also like Avatar.

I don't know about anybody else, but I was talking about both. I found the ending to be extremely disappointing, even after the movie. Didn't really feel like they accomplished anything; they seemed to go backwards more than anything else, if you ask me.
You can find out things about the past that you never knew. And from what you've learned, you may see some things differently in the present. You're the one that changes. Not the past.

"God the great Creator of all things doth uphold, direct, dispose, and govern all creatures, actions, and things, from the greatest even to the least, by His most wise and holy providence, according to His infallible foreknowledge and the free and immutable counsel of His own will, to the praise of the glory of His wisdom, power, justice, goodness, and mercy."

-John Piper

"The very One from Whom we need to be saved, is the One Who has saved us."

"All of Christian life is ceaseless worship of God the Father, through the mediatorship of God the Son, by the indwelling power of God the Spirit, doing what God commands in Scripture, not doing what God forbids in Scripture, in culturally contextualized ways, for the furtherance of the Gospel, when both gathered for adoration, and scattered for action, in joyous response to God's glorious grace."
- Mark Driscoll

"Believers do not pray with the view of informing God about things unknown to Him, or of exciting Him to do His duty, or of urging Him as though He were reluctant. On the contrary, they pray in order that they may arouse themselves to seek Him, that they may exercise their faith in meditating on His promises, that they may relieve themselves from their anxieties by pouring them into His bosom; in a word, that they may declare that from Him alone they hope and expect, both for themselves and for others, all good things."
- Martin Luther

"I have to tell you first that I am ready to die. I have put my affairs in order. Your supreme weapon is killing. My supreme weapon is dying, because when you kill me, people all over Romania will read my books and believe on the God that I preach - even more than they do now."

I've finished Death Note, so i'm revising my rating. I'll give it a 9 or a 9.5. Okay so i'll go with 9.25 XDD.

Cowboy Bebop- 8! ^_^ I like this show, but I've seen it way to many times to love it.

Fullmetal Alchemist- 8- great show, great acting, kinda over hyped though.

Eureka Seven- 11 XD I loved this show, it got a little annoying at times, but the ending is AMAAAAAAAZING... One of the best I've seen..(if you watch after the credits of course! ^_^)
Ghost in the Shell: SAC- 9.5 based off the first season and half of the second. I love deep shows and this was awesome!
Haibane Renmei- 10 I love the symbolism here.
Samurai X: Trust & Betrayal - 8.5 XD It's Kenshin come on, it's awesome...

The Melcncholy of Haruhi Suzumiya- 7....if it weren't for the fan service.... >_>

Death Note- 8 I'm a bit confused currently though XD
BLEACH- 9 based on where AS is right now. ^_^
FLCL- 2 If I want to understand a show, I'd rather get it then listen to the director ramble about it on a different track. Also the price for these dvds is almost criminal. Nu thank you.
Neon Genesis Evangelion 1- Worst 13 hours I've ever wasted ever. I could have watched a better show in the amount of time it took me to waste an entire day. MAJOR hype..
and Spirited Away- 9 XD I love this show. It's amazing.

Cowboy Bebop- 7 (if only plots had taken multiple episodes more often...)
Fullmetal Alchemist- 8 (if only Ed and Al didn't have so much angst...)
Bleach-9 (if only I hadn't seen spoilers...)
Neon Genesis Evangelion- 6 (if only the final 5 episodes made more sense...)

(Of course, I could say "if only" about nearly any series...)
