I saw parts of Dragonball Z and Sailor Moon, but didn't really follow anime until I started watching Yu Yu Hakusho. It drew me in with its unique action that created dramatic moments like no other that I've seen. Plus the characters developed really well in my opinion, and I was able to really connect with a few. I dropped off somewhere a while back, and picked it back up with Death Note, Fruits Basket and Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni, which is still probably my favorite.
I do miss Toonami in the evenings on weekdays, though. Always bringing the latest couple episodes of Yu Yu Hakusho and a DBZ after supper.
