I'll come out and say it:

Princess Mononoke and Spirited Away are mediocre. I haven't seen much of his other works.

 /agree

Though I would add in his other crap movies too.  He does some interesting art and animation stuff but that's about it (I had friends that made me watch those movies).  The movies really aren't anything special.

As for other anime, even a good anime is at best mediocre.  I've seen a lot of the big ones that people tell me I must watch (though nothing in the last few years) and most just aren't good.

I can stomach Naruto and DBZ just because the action can be fun but they still really aren't that good.  I would rather watch the last season of Friends and then follow it up with Joey that watch most of those shows.

Amen to that. The stories just aren't very engaging in most cases. People praise half the mech anime around like it's the second coming of Christ and then bash Transformers the movie when in reality, neither one is worth a shit.

BTW, Neon Genesis Evangelion can suck my balls. The story is trite with faux depth, the characters are annoying, and the mech combat doesn't save the rest of the piece from itself. I would rather watch almost anything over that shit.
