    Hard to say which one is most popular...I think Cowboy Bebop has a pretty good run considering its been on Toonami's midnight lineup for a long time.

    as someone who hardly ever watches anime, i think, if i've heard of it, it must be popular. the MOST recent popular ones i can think of are Cowboy Bebop and Rurouni Kenshin, but lately i've been hearing a lot about this Naruto as well. i've watched a little of all three, and they're all pretty entertaining...

    Yeah, Eva and Bebop seem to be very popular, but I didn't think Kenshin was as well known. Bebop was on adult swim, plus it had the movie out in theaters and now DVD. How many other anime series have had a feature length movie shown in US theaters?

    I think Initial D is rapidly gaining popularity (nowhere near the previously mentioned though), with Tokyo Pop offering english manga and "westernized" episodes on DVD. You won't have to do the Hong Kong special to see this one anymore. We'll see if it takes off and reaches Bebop levels of popularity. I saw an Initial D sit down video game in an arcade recently.

    um....

    that one was rather cookie cutter.

    But what i meant was what are the popular ones coming out now such as naruto, inuyasha, gundam seed, etc. see exhibits A and B for examples.

    exibit a:

    I'm suprised nobody mentioned Last Exile or Hajime no Ippo (aka The Fighter). I guess only serious Anime fans would know those. They are not US released or Dubbed. As for most popular I would have to go with the Dragon Ball series (DB, DBZ, and DB GT), Ranma, and Tenshi and Macross.

    Got the newer Ninja Scroll series at BB ($15) and it's decent. Not as good as that breakthrough movie but fun the see Jubei do his thing again.

    Oh, and there is some Samurai Series I thinks its called X' but it has like 80+ episodes and Im not buying them. People have said it's a very good series....

    I believe you mean Samurai X aka Rurouni Kenshin. Cartoon Network is showing it now.

    It's the same series. The company that originaly released the series to the US market wanted a Title that would draw more interest.

    Right, it was an OVA that four episodes long. There was a second OVA entitled Seisouhen which is really sad.
