Hmm, well I know I've seen a little of Samurai Champloo and didn't think anything at the time. Could try it again. I've tried a couple times to watch different Ghost in the Shell shows/movies, didn't get into it. I watched some Evangelion, really hated it, that one w/ the two brothers and one is a big model knight or whatever (FMA, name just came to me), some Trigun which I thought I would like but didn't get into it.
Part of the problem honestly is that I always want to watch it with subtitles, not dubbed, but that requires more concentration than I put into most tv shows. I did recently download that Attack on Titan(?) show too, really wanna watch that.
