I find this thread's lack of Cromartie High School.....disturbing.
But the guys in that anime are delinquents...

I'd consider Ghost in the Shell SAC series better than either of those two. I found Bebop to be a tad overrated.
I didn't even know there was going to be more. Thought it was self-contained and complete.
Lain is amazingFate/Zero and Madoka Magica are all that's come close.
And note that Serial Experiments Lain is(clearly) my favorite anime ever.
Some would say Space Dandy.
lol
Does Asura's Wrath count? I don't even like anime and I loved the insanity of that game.
Massive One Piece fan here: the anime is bad. The manga is god-tier adventure storytelling and the anime is a poorly animated and poorly paced piece of crap. Recently I heard that it took them two episodes to cover half a chapter.As a guy who recently got into anime, what is the general opinion about One Piece ?
Is it considered amazing, mediocre or even bad (like getting repetitive, tiresome etc) ?
I'm just past the Alabasta saga which i thought was completely fantastic ! The characters the main plot and the way it was built beforehand.. Wow...
I'm just asking because in whatever thread about anime i see, One Piece does not get mentioned a lot...
it's like 100 years of anime because they all have a million episodes each and you have to watch until ep 500,000 for things to really pick up.
Madoka is excellent, Space Dandy is excellent, One Punch Man is excellent. Attack on Titan is good but isn't as good at subverting genre tropes as OPM; OPM really turns them on their head whereas AoT just reproduces them very exactly and thinks that's criticism.
First time I've seen Johan hate
It's probably the first anime in a while (maybe since Death Note?) that non-anime watchers can enjoy. IMO it deserves every recommendation it gets.
I think there are two things going on here:
In terms of impact and how pervasive a series was I'd say Trigun and Cowboy Bebop were absolutely on the same level.
In terms of overall quality and cohesion though, Cowboy Bebop is leagues better. (Although I do love Trigun very much.)

Outside of having superb art design and execution, a somewhat interesting main plot, somewhat interesting characters and good English voice work, what makes Cowboy Bebop so great? Don't get me wrong. I get that I just listed a few positive things there and I think it is a good series, but I don't really get the immense reverence for it.
It's accessible with a wide range of adored genre influences from westerns, to noir, to martial arts, to spaceship dogfighting. It has an amazing and eclectic jazz-funk soundtrack, and- despite being set in the future- is a product of its time formally and thematically which doubles up on the nostalgia (for example, the artstyle and/or the VCR episode). It also hit at the right time when a lot of current 20-somethings were nice and impressionable during the anime boom in the west.
It's easy to watch, basically. But underneath that it's also well written, extremely well directed and animated, unique, endearing, memorable, and, maybe most importantly, not over the top or "too anime."
Hikaru no Go and Detective Conan are pretty entertaining and were slightly after that era.
This is correct. Phew, I thought I was the only sane one here at first.Trigun >>>>>>>>>>> Bebop
I love Cowboy Bebop, Serial Experiments Lain, and Trigun (not Bebop's level but still very good) so I'll try recommending some. I think all these are at least from this century:
1. Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex
2. Monster
3. Samurai Girl Ran
4. Paranoia Agent
5. Samurai Champloo
6. Hunter X Hunter (2011)
7. Death Note
8. Black Lagoon
9. Kaiba
10. Ping Pong
11. Kino's Journey
12. Nodame Cantabile
13. Katanagatari
14. Seirei no Moribito
15. Planetes
Currently airing: One-Punch Man, has a chance to be high on this list
Space Battleship Yamato 2199 is what you're looking for, OP.
1999, even.It's not recent (2003 I think) but watch Rurouni Kenshin Tsuiokuhen.
How is trigun at the level of a cowboy bee pop or evangelion
