You're forgiven Protoss, ask and you shall recieve. ;-)

Original Gundam, as in the VERY FIRST ONE - was good, yes. After that.. no. American cartoons that I like.. Ren and Stimpy, Futurama, Invader Zim, Spongebob (only the first three seasons.. after that, it lost it's edge), Southpark, Simpsons, ReBoot, and many others.. just it's kinda late to list them all.

Anime's that I have liked, DBZ (only the first two seasons, and Cell Saga), First Gundam (Also known as Mobile Suit)... running outa shows.. is Samurai Jack anime?? Cowboy Bebop (only because it's comedy). And I'm outa animes.

You're watching Futurama, the show that does not advocate the cool crime of robbery.

PS: We need a new thread for this jazz.

New thread indeed. However, it seems that you're judging Anime on what only Adult Swim has offered you Casas. Adult Swim only broadcasts what is popular in Japan or whoever pays them the most. This being, we get horrible shows like Sole the Mole Man.

Case Closed was the best anime Adult Swim had. Other than that, megamonsters such as InuYasha, Bleach, Naruto and Full Metal Alchemist have fallen from the path of originality and fanmanship and gone strictly into producing because of income. That's always the path of dreams though.

I feel that you shouldn't base your whole opinion on Adult Swim though. You may not want to explore the genre of Anime, but Adult Swim sucks on it's anime. It's mostly for comedy and fan-based polls on their website.

All those American shows you listed are fine. Sometimes, I want to see crazy magic, and wretched oni, dragons, or cute neko's. I do like Frisky Dingo right now though.

I'm not going to recommend too much stuff, but I'd like to put Witch Hunter Robin ( Previously on Adult Swim ) and Case Closed ( Brilliant puzzles and craft. )

Paranoia Agent wasn't bad, and it ran on Adult Swim.

What about old anime? Nobody mentioned any classics! *feels old*

Well, Futurama and Cowboy Bebop. Most of the other stuff was on the old Toonmai line up.

I really like Paranoia Agent too. I thought it was really clever.

Spirited Away was gorgeous. ;;

If you guys want to see a live-action Anime movie, watch the Korean version of Volcano High. MTV slaughtered it with crappy voice acting from .. rappers.

All cartoon network based. :(

Samurai X was BEFORE Ruroni Kenshin. It's how he grew up and got his scar and all that jazz.

I think the correct phrase is, way to drunk for this post. Go drink your beer and work on your blood clots and liver disease.
