Bleach: ehh a lot over rated, decent series but yeah too convoluted
DragonBall Z: overrated yet awesome. first dragonball series was good, Z was good and set a bar but every episode = 10 mins of recap, 15 mins of talking 2 mins fight 3 mins preview
Basilisk: top tier also great sword n sorcery (read: ninjas) also there is a live action movie called Shinobi: heart under blade thats same story (its anime romeo and juliet)
Paranoi Agent: really good, confuzing as crap till you realize whats going on, maybe hard to watch for some
Hellsing: awesome series, also the OVAS a retelling of the series thats possibly way better than the series (yet the OVAS arent finished and are taking forever to come out)
Excel Saga: ahha freaking hilarious, most people hate it because of her voice but the series is funny (and gets even funnier once you realize the whole point of the show is to make fun of anime)
