    Default Which anime should I watch next?

    Well I just finished Wolf's Rain, and though I was hoping and praying that
    it wouldn't be utter <img src="/xxx.gif"><img src="/xxx.gif"><img src="/xxx.gif"><img src="/xxx.gif">, my prayers went completely unanswered. What
    an awful show.

    Anyway, I'm wondering what anime to watch next. My two main choices
    are between the first season of Naruto and Samurai Champloo, I'm leaning
    towards Samurai Champloo. But I'm considering other possibilities. I'd list
    the animes I've seen but there are too many and I'd probably miss some,
    so if you have any suggestions, or a favorite of the two above, feedback
    would be awesome.

    Though I've never actually seen Naruto, it's one of the most popular animes, whereas Samurai Champloo was created by the person who created Cowboy Bebop. My suggestion is to get Naruto and just watch Champloo on Adult Swim.

    Well I have both of them, but maybe I will watch the first eps of Champloo
    and then watched the dubbed ones on [as]. Good call.

    I'd say go with Samurai Champloo. I've never been a fan of Naruto, although I'll admit I ever gave it a fair chance. But Samurai Champloo is more up my alley. I love the way it's drawn/animated. I'd watch it just for that. xD That's what I would do, anyways. But SB's idea isn't too shabby either.

    Why, thank you! (^_^)

    You could also just watch 'em both at the same time: Naruto on DVD/VHS(whichever format you have it in) and Champloo on Adult Swim, as Cartoon Network didn't alter it at all, save for the great dubbing.

    I've not seen much of Shamploo and it didn't impress me. Naruto reminds me a lot of Dragon Ball Z but it actually isn't too bad, it's amusing at some points but seems more for the OMFG COOL! factor than anything else.

    Highly highly highly doubt that. It's really popular and it's got a great spot in the lineup.

    If they said it in one of the bumps, chances are they're messing with you. Like when ATHF got "cancelled."

    I believe Champloo has always ranked somewhere in the top 3 for Adult Swim Saturdays. I doubt they would cut it halfway through.

    I would go with Samuri Champloo out of the two you listed. I also recommend Gundam Seed Destiny. It is still airing and are at episode 36 right now. So far it has been really good but there is still time to drop off and screw it all up as many have said happened with the original Gundam Seed.

    I hear nothing but bad stuff about Wolf's Rain. I only saw the ending and I liked the ending to it. I like a vauge ending that makes you figure it out for yourself but not completely smurfed to the point where it makes next to no sense because they didn't even explain enough of the core story(like Evangelion).

    The Irresponsible Captain Tylor is one of the only anime really worth watching.

    >>> That anime was to funny. I still remember those hot twin girls and that pilot who feared women.
