There are some I find respectably classics like the 80's shows but I tend to like the newer ones, simply for the animation being amazing. Its a lot different where unlike Cartoons, Anime for me hasn't declined into crap generally but there are shows that were on too long and lost its likability.

Inuyasha is good to me early on. When Kikyo came back everything went down hill, logically and preferably which is like episode 16 or something... its sad. When romance is the basis of a plot and taken into a naive teen-puppy love twist it just loses all validity to me. Teen Love isn't love and is always the basis to shallow taste, 1dimentional characters, excessive drama that isnt even heart moving...etc.

Metabots is the same, the first season was great, After the tournament arc ended it was total crap, the cars thing was innovative but stupid. The voice change was even worse.

Digimon was perfect in season one, all the characters were likable, and the music is more to my taste in the dub, all the voices fit their characters and there was no romance. Mainly jokes and comedy. (wether it is funny is to each his own) It did have its flaws though. Not every character was rounded out enough and the lead had too much power ups compared to the other cast that could have helped them if they too had that access. Which is sad because nothing technically stopped them. Until the movies most battles had the pacing of pokemon (which sucks, repetitive spamming of attacks like Pepper breath or Fist of the beast king.) and they weren't very amazing.
(The first movie really picked it up and fixed this. There was actual combat and not just special attack spam)

Season 2 - Generally Sucked, most chemistry was lost within the cloned cast. The reason to like the original leads wasn't there but the villains made up for it.)

Season 3 - All right, good characters but slow paced and not enough fights. When they did have fights it was usually turn based or imbalanced power. However that season had the BEST digivoling sequences. (worst being season 1 and 2)

Season 4 - Hated it. Lost the theme of digimon, people being the digimon, nice change but not very classic friendly. I mostly hated it for not keeping the routine of Kid + pet monster.

I stoped after there, the rest of the incarnations are just rediculous but Lilithmon is hot.
 
i say that School Rumble has made me laugh more than all other anime combined. Pani Poni Dash is probably, no wait-it is at the top of my list for WTF moments.
