Trigun.
This happened at a very strange time in my life. For some reason, my friends and I "discovered" three different series at the same time - Escaflowne (me), Trigun (David) and EVA (David #2).
Despite the rather crude animation job on Escaflowne, we all really enjoyed it, even though I still feel the end of it to be a touch too abrupt.
Evangelion caused a couple arguements - mostly around how I thought it was superior to the three if for the simple fact it tried hard to be something different and dropped the ball a lot of the time. (Still remains my favorite anime series)
Trigun, though? I was really enjoying the show. It was kinda flakey at times and the animation was about on par with Escaflowne (I'm an animation fan - so I tend to find 99% of all anime to be very badly done), but the very end of the show was really, really .... dull.
The build-up was there but the climax was throw away. It seemed like the show had been handed over to some gleeful teenager who only understood the glaring generalizations of the show instead of it's once-in-a-while subtle nudges. I was really offended by that last episode.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
