With all the pokemon hype beginning to crawl over the forum (such as the pokemon game), I think there's a series that's being neglected! Digimon! To be honest, I think Digimon is one of the very few anime that sounded good even after dubbed. I only watched season one, so really don't know about the other ones. I loved how the story was so innocent, naive, and touching all jumbled up together.
I think it's in a whole different league from pokemon and is not just one of those "monster anime". Yes, Bandai is a greedy franchise in terms of marketing, but I think it didn't do too much slaughtering with Digimon Season one. At least not as much as Nintendo did with Pokemon.
