Underrated anime series or overrated
Duck Dodgers:
Overrated:
Cowboy Bebop (The movie - I haven't seen the series)
I was really excited about seeing this movie. It seems to be on ever top 10 Sci-Fi anime list and it even appears on some top 10 anime lists. However, I though it was terrible. The writer didn't put a second of though into ... well anything. The bad guy is identified by a dog. Why was this seemingly ordinary dog able to do this? Don't know. It was never explained. The main character (a bounty hunter) goes to Morocco street to find invisible thing that was killing people simply because you can find anything on Morocco street. He encounter a couple of street venders who immediately tell him to go see a bean seller who just happens to be the guy who invented the invisible thing (It turns out to be Nanobot technology) that is killing people. Instead of doing something reasonable like giving a sample of the Nanobots to the police, the government or a university the bean seller/inventor hands a sample over to the bounty hunter. And it just goes on and on. As if this isn't bad enough the main character gets into a jet for no apparent reason and flies off. He is attacked by the military for not apparent reason. Despite the fact that he is a bounty hunter his jet just happens to be capable of out flying three military fighters. After causing the death of all three pilots (who for some reason never call for reinforcements) he doesn't get into any trouble. This entire sequence was contrived simply to give the movie a dogfight.

Protip: Watch the TV series before watching the movie. :)

Rurouni kenshin, in this i'm biased,
it's the anime that got me really really hooked into anime.
atleast it's the aniem that made me realize that the stuff i was watching as a kid
was not just cartoons, and it is what made me experience a whole lot of goodness over the years.

Nobody underrates Rurouni Kenshin. It's in top lists everywhere :P. It triumphed for years on AnimeNfo back when it was actually used.
I have nothing to add to this topic. If anything I'd say Kaleido Star hasn't been seen enough.
