There aren't many series I hate, or even just dislike, but I can't say I cared much for Arjuna. Somehow, it just never appealed to me. I picked up the first DVD because I knew nothing about it. I was disappointed, and I never liked it all that much. It's been over a year since I watched that show, and I have no desire to see ot again, or even finish it.
Digimon was actually not that bad (in the 1st season). After that, though, it flopped. It was so boring after the second I didn't even bother watching it. I think, mostly, it was because it was turning into a Dragon Ball Z clone.
Dragon Ball Z wasn't all that bad at first, either. Up to Freiza's death, in fact, up to the beginning of the fight with Frieza, I liked it. After that, the show should have just... stopped. It was done, there was nothing useful to say anymore. The greatest Saiyan ever defeated the most powerful villain in the universe, and died(?) in the attempt to escape a dying planet. It would have been so much more profound if they had just let it end.
Pokemon is, of course, a given. Though I did like it *for a while* I soon got bored of it, too. Mainly because it was dragging on, and got boring and repetitive.
Excepting Arjuna, it seems all anime that drags on into the hundreds of episodes gets boring. Whether because it's just a replaying of the same old thing, or because it takes forever to get anything happening. (I swear, Namek was supposed to blow up in 5 minutes, but the whole fight against Frieza, after that attack, up to the actual explosion, took... *calculates* about 100 times that. Literally. 500 minutes of episodes, (Assuming it was 20 episodes)), or for whatever reason, long-running anime tends to be bad. And, never at first. Just when it starts dragging into large numbers of episodes.
Almost makes me glad the Saber Marionette series runs only 60 episodes, including OVAs.
