Originally aired February 19, 2012. I still like this list and don't regret making it--don't know if the same is true for its opposite number, but we'll get to that when we get to it.
The 2 cartoons/animes I know I like that everyone hate are Gundam SEED and Gundam SEED Destiny. They're my 2 favorite animes of all time but I think GS and GSD are so overhated by Gundam fans due to the reused stock footage, beamspam, and terrible characters such as Shinn Asuka and Kira "Jesus" Yamato. I like them because: #1 Good Mecha Designs (such as the Strike Freedom Gundam, Blitz Gundam, and the GINN) #2 the so-bad-it's-good Voice acting in the Ocean dub (where Athrun sounds like some Jewish stereotype, Heine sounds like some 40-something-year-old chain-smoker while he's supposed to be 21 or so, etc.) #3 The characters are interesting (My favorites being Lunamaria, Lacus, Kira, Shinn, and Heine [the side character who I think is one of the few positive bisexual characters in animated TV shows]) #4 The intro themes #5 They touch on issues such as racism (or in the 2 series' case, geneism), LGBT rights (Yzak X Dearka and maybe Miguel X Heine), and pacifism. The only bad things (in my opinion) about the 2 series are Flay Allster, Meer Campbell, and the original 4th opening theme for GSD.
Actually, if you watched the Japanese Version of Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters, you'd figure out that Dark Yugi wasn't overpowered. He was actually quite rash in his plays, and mostly got by with Yugi's assistance.
One of the major factors that makes GX so damn good is that the characters develop over time. Judai especially undergoes great character development from the second season onward.
Surprisingly, #08 hasn't had many Video Games. It seems like a perfect avenue for it to go down. Cars has had a few games, and most of them have been good; even getting Randy Savage to guest star in one Cars: Race-O-Rama.
Gō was being considered for Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom: Ultimate All-Stars. But he was discarded due to being seen purely as a race car driver. A huge oversight from all involved. I recall Gō being a capable fighter. Plus, you could've used Mach 5 for special moves to further distinguish Gō from the pack.
