For me it has to be naruto and one piece. They have lasted so long because they have evolved and become much more in depth.

It's not an anime, but it's anime inspired. Megas XLR. I really thought I'd hate it, but I loved it. As far as animes, Yu Yu Hakusho really surprised me as well as Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood.

Agree I didn't even watch the full first episode and I skipped to episode 83 and it was my first timeXD but it is REALLY GOOD also in my top 5

naruto at first, when it would be on adult swim some years ago, i always hated naruto's voice and never watched it.
But then my uncle showed me the Japanese sub which i personally like alot more then the English dub. then POW! my new favorite anime :hint:

Yu Yu Hakusho. I didn't really think it was that great after finishing it either, but now that it's been a few months since I finished it, I have realized it's one of the best animes I've ever seen =D It's just awesome.

Katekyo Hitman Reborn! was lame, corny, and slow at the beginning, but wow did it change for the better.

Anohana: I thought it would be kinda gay/girly. But it was really awesome

Great Teacher Onizuka, JoJo's Bizzare adventure, Fate/Zero, and GINTAMA.

I was so wrong about Gintama I can't believe I almost didn't watch it.

for me it is one piece and dragon ball

when i first seen one piece advertised on toonami i was like not gonna watch that it looks stupid then decided to give it a chance when it aired and loved it from episode one but lost track after luffy got sanji as it stopped running on toonami and i picked it back up about 3 years ago

as for dragon ball i thought it wasn't going to be as good as dbz as he wasn't a super saiyan and couldn't fly then i started to watch it and now i rate it above dbz

I initially thought I was going to like Steins Gate because the first episodes are hard to get use to. Boy was I wrong. It's one of my favorite anime now.
