At least SVU's sleazy, exploitative plots are somewhat engaging. I've been sick of Law & Order for about two decades and only don't hate it like I do CSI because of nostalgia. Criminal Intent came about way too late for me to give the slightest ****.

Just watched my first anime that isn't Pokémon or Yu-Gi-Oh. If their are more animes that are this retardedly awesome I need to know.... like yesterday!

The Batlord

Bro, I got you. There are so much more, but...

Hellsing Ultimate (English dub)
Hellsing Ultimate (Subtitles)
Evangelion (Subtitles)
Evangelion (English dub)
Berserk (Subtitles)
Berserk (English dub)

Just to get you started. All three of those are the best thing ever with free, HD links. I provided the original Japanese episodes with subtitles, which you should watch over the English voice overs in almost all instances, since English voice actors are ass, but Hellsing Ultimate is the exception, since the English dub is actually quite superior.

Thanks!

If you don't love Hellsing Ultimate then I won't even know what to say to you. Watch that first for ****'s sake. Now I think I'm gonna go rewatch the creator's next series, Drifters, which is also fantastic, if not on the same level of amazingness of Hellsing Ultimate.

If we could just talk for a moment about how bad English voice actors actually are...

Seriously, watch the subtitled versions. Japanese voice actors are real actors. They train for years and years before ever breaking into the industry, and the difference in skill is clear in literally any comparison you can make. Many times they are better actors than half the famous names in Hollywood. In contrast, some English voice actors got their job by knowing a guy who knows a guy--literally without any acting experience at all. It shows. I find English voice actors unbearable.

The Batlord

Japanese acting can be slightly unbearable simply because I think Japanese culture in general necessitates Japanese acting to be more unemotional than Western acting, but in general yeah, when it's time to actually bring the emotion the Japanese voice actors carry that vastly better.

The American voice actors from what I've heard are generally just a small pool of absolute ****ing hacks who just happen to live within a small area of where ever the voice actor studios happen to be, which for some reason happens to be in Texas. But sometimes the American dubs can just so happen to be better, but that's more happenstance for the specific dub than any virtue of American voice actors.

It really helps in Hellsing that so many of the characters are British and German, so the accents are kind of a deal breaker, but even the voice actor for Alucard just so happens to nail his part at times in a way that outclasses the far more consistent talent of his Japanese counterpart. The American guy is awful in general (god I ****ing hate him in so many things), but kind of found his niche with the character in just that one show so it worked.
