Blasphemy! The second half of Tamers is the Beast Digimon Evar! I like the Evangelion influence in there more than I liked it in Evangelion itself!

Really? I found it surprisingly intense, especially once Beelzemon got fully involved. It only gets better once they get back home. Fake Juri is waaaaaaay too creepy for a kid's show!

Intense =/= exciting, at least for me.

And fake Juri might have been part of that, I was only like 12.

I'll put my anime and North American toons seperate.
Anime:
Gaogaigar
Gundam in general (but my faves would be 0083, 08th MS team, and 00. Wing gets an honorable mention for being my first anime)
Gurren Lagann
Godannar
(wow, lotta Gs)

As for North American:
Venture Bros
Duckman
Does Amazing Screw on Head count? Only one ep, sure, but still technically a show...
Batman: TAS
Megas XLR
Harvey Birdman
Aqua Teen Hunger Force


That's all that comes RIGHT to mind. Maybe more later.
BUT I have to give a mention to a web-series called Broken Saints. Sure, it's Flash animated, not cell. But it's still technically a series and an experience that changed my life. So THERE :P

Skywarp, you like Godannar? I just lost a healthy amount of respect for you. Just in terms of anime tastes though, no offense to you as a person. Just...wow...

...What the heck is Godannar? Seems like a controversial choice. It's not like he said Musashi Gundoh, or anything...

Also, Venture Bros is actually Flash animated, but I let that one slide, soooooyeah. Flash counts. ;p

I think only the pilot of Venture Bros. is flash. Maybe I'm wrong *shrug*

And Godannar is pretty awesome.

Although it's obsessed with breasts even by anime standards...

Duuude, I can Wiki anytime. =p I wanna know why you like it, and why Prowl doesn't.

Gotta say, "obsessed with breasts" isn't the best start IMO. >_>

I might've actually seen the ED sometime... I seem to recall lots of shots of post-rape mecha lying about as blood falls from the sky. Most definitely did not appeal, in an Elfenlied sorta way (Sex & Violence makes me yawn).

Why do I like Godannar?
Well, it's one of those anime that stands on the border between serious and parody. But the serious part is pretty sweet.
Gah, I hate having to explain why I like something.
The animation is great, the mecha designs are cool and varied, the male lead full of hot-blooded ire.

Sure, it's got mecha with big giant boobs with machine guns built in, but sometimes a bit of goofy fun is good!
