Eh, Naruto's alright. It just suffers from being stretched a little due to popularity. If the whole series had focused on Naruto himself, without any of the side-flash's to the backstories of different characters and their adventures, you'd cut out perhaps a hundred chapters of stuff that isn't really needed.

I don't know Kakashi has a far more interesting life that naruto's.

Yeah, generally I prefer to shy away from the side-character subplot heavy anime/manga, but I thought Naruto kept it within reason... for the most part. Bleach has always been a nightmare in this regard. I did think it was funny that the lack of focus on Shino... ever... was a running gag.
Evangelion is a different show. But it isn't scraping the bottom of the barrel like naruto.
I'm sorry, are you seriously trolling me? First I bold the Evangelion, then you say it's a different show now you are using Evangelion, that's a classic of anime, to compare with Naruto?
Did I lose my ability to read english? 'Cause it fething looks like it.

I dislike those in general if they aren't done well.
I mean Game of Thrones I love all the subplots.

No I am saying its just not for me. IT is for others, but for me it is not a great anime. It is extremely popular and people work it up as the greatest anime ever. And guess what? I get severely disappointed when I find those rumors to be untrue.
I.E. don't work me up to watch an anime and expect it for it to meet my expectations.

Well, it IS one of the greatest ever as you can guess from it's extreme popularity (Hell, this year I got some Evangelion related Tokyo Sky Tree souvenirs and there's plenty more of brand new merchandise so it just keeps going) and the recent movies are pure gold, but I have to admit it's not for everyone.
And if someone says he hates Evangelion because of Shinji I'll be forced to STFU, clench my fists and just nod. feth Shinji.

He's a character I hate the most in that anime.
And one of the primary reasons I hate the anime. I also dislike the centrality the whole story has on him and the show's last few episodes pissed me off to no end.
Reminding me why I hate animes that are just rushed in with no regard for the story first. Pandering too much to the fans than people who just want to watch it for a good story and good characters.

*sigh* I need another show like Nichijou... any recommendations?
Seriously, look at yet another scene of the anime, I need more like this :(

So, upon re-reading The Girl Who Loved (a Harry Potter/Sailor Moon/Ranma 1/2 crossover fanfiction) I decided to give Sailor Moon Crystal a shot.
The fanfiction, being fanfic, talked about 'rampant lesbianism' in the Senshi ranks. Watching Crystal...
Is that true? Is it something that I just completely missed when I was a kid watching it, or maybe something that was bowdlerized out of the television version?
Cause seriously- second episode, Ami gets framed in the super-close-up and gets called 'cute' by Usagi. I mean, what?

lesbian harem? Holidays means that I spend al day drawing and watching anime, infact I just got a deviantart account the other day lol.
I watched about half an eisode of naruto. some guy with green clothes fighting A guywhile wearing weights and then one of them was a pot. the feth?

And that, my dear Padawan, is what I consider the very best of Naruto. From your description, I assume you are talking about Gaara vs Rock Lee. The entire fight is epic, both characters are a joy to see fighting.
The other fight I really like is Rock Lee vs Kimimaro, a character I think that had truly "AWESOME!" powers and kicked ass like no tomorrow.
Spoiler:
obviously he had to die a in a lame way.

Which in the Portuguese version they were considered "cousins". Even my very young self could see something else was going on there.

I watched half of the second season of SAO, mainly because my daughter really wanted too. I enjoyed the first half of the original. It wasn't good but I was enjoying it anyway. Then it jumped the shark.
I got bored with Log Horizon about 3/4s of the way throught the first season. I'll get to season 2 eventually, but I am in no hurry.
Lately I have been watching Trinity 7, which I can't objectively judge because I love the Manga. I tried watching Kuwai Complex, but it failed to impress. Romcoms are almost as hard to feth up as harems, but somehow they have managed. I just started the Fate/Stay remake, which was OK so far.
I overdosed on Anime last year, and most of my Japanese pop culture consumption now comes from Manga. I also overdosed on pretentious anime fans who fail to remember that, A, it's OK if we don't all like the same things, and B, that most of anything, including media is average. Hating on things that land in the fat part of the bell curve is setting yourself up for a life of disappointment.
I have no idea what I am doing.

Daily lives of highschool boys? I actually enjoyed this one more than Nichijou, maybe bc I related to it more :p
What?! Comedy with no MOE?! Where are my cute anime girl protagonists?! This is madness!
Hehe, I kid, I admit I love my dose of moe in my comedy but that one seems mighty fun. I did watch a short sketch a while ago and it was Nichijou levels of Random. Thanks for the Toradora suggestion too, Asherian Command, but I think I'll try to watch this one first.

Toradora is a classic. You should try My Teenage Romantic Comedy as well. Unfortunately it stops halfway throught the story, but the second half is on the way.

So is Haruhi Suzamyia.
There are both classics.
I like both.

Haruhi Suzamyia was on my watch list when it got dropped by Crunchyroll. I was very disappointed.

You can't legitimately watch it anywhere. You can't even buy a legitimate copy of it. You have to watch illegally because the company that owned is out of business.

Ah lol well if it's moe you're after than there is always Azumanga, but it is not super intense or random comedy like Nichijou.
But then again, Ordinary Lives of Highschool boys does have some moe...
Already seen Fate/Zero (also liked it) I’ll drop Soul Eater into the queue. Probably won’t get a chance to watch anything new until after new year’s, but a stocked queue is a happy queue.
