Count me in for Cowboy Bebop too, one of the best anime ever crafted. Music, story and drama are all perfectly woven together. Oh and throw some comedy just for good measure.
I know how you feel I gave up on Naruto a while back and im about to give up on bleach too. Watch Soul Eater itll make you feel better :-P oh and Kurenai is pretty good too, not too crazy about vampire knight.
