Hrm... Lemme think of a few. There are actually several, but I tend to forget about them because I don't buy/watch/read things I don't like initially.
Manga: -Real Bout High School -Revolutionary Girl Utena (love the anime, but the manga was kinda boring from what I remember) -Yu-Gi-Oh! Millenium World (it's in Shonen Jump, so I read it... but it is SO TERRIBLE) -Dark Angel
Anime: -Ninja Scroll -Nazca (I think that's what it was called... I watched 4 episodes and it was just unbearable) -One Piece in English (I love the manga, but the English dub has ruined the anime for me) -Naruto (I just don't like it animated for some reason *shrug*) -Air (we're watching in anime club at Reinhardt, but it's so... boring... I want PLOT to happen already and it's like episode 6)
In general, not too crazy about sports series or hentai either. There are a few sports series I enjoy, though (like Crimson Hero). So it's not an immediate deterrant or anything. Okay, I could list more but I'm tired so I'm going to bed now. :P
I agree with most of what is listed above. I can't say much about the Naruto manga (though I admit to not digging the art), but I don't like the anime series either. Or Bleach. Or One Piece. I just could never jump on the bandwagon for super-popular series, because I don't like Inuyasha either. For me, something is just missing, I guess ...?
I tried watching Air once and it WAS boring. Bleh.
I've heard good things about Claymore; have you read it? I've heard from several people that it has the best major female character evar ...
I really love Inuyasha, but I got into it before they player it on Cartoon Network and volume 9 was the most recent release by Viz in the manga. Don't like the anime very much, but the manga was awesome. It just got REALLY long so I kind of dropped it. But every manga by Rumiko Takahashi is really very superb... I have most of hers released in English (Ranma, Maison Ikkoku, Urusei Yatsura, Rumic World Theater, Rumic World Trilogy, and Inuyasha). The anime is really so-so and doesn't do the manga justice, so try it out before saying you don't like Inuyasha. Just saying

Hehe, I was thinking of Pokemon and Fullmetal as well. Lol. I was into both series before they got super hyped-up; it seems like it's harder for me to get into a series after it's become popular. Not that I deliberately avoid those titles; I try to get into them, but lose interest quickly. I liked Naruto until after the Haku arc. And I enjoy Bleach openings/endings too. ^_^ And you're right, I've never read the Inuyasha manga, so who knows?
I have the Inuyasha manga from volume 1 through 17 if you wanna check it out sometime. That's what made me love the series... the anime only impressed me up until Yura of the hair died (which is why I only have volumes 1 and 2 of the DVDs). Just be careful 'cause 1-12 are the old Viz editions and are thus gi-normous and I can't remember if they were bound well or not. You know what I mean, having collected suff from that era as well

I approve Nana, Holic, and Negima. Also, I've heard good things about the other two as well so yay!

Y'know, I've always wondered, and sorry for being random here, but what animes/manga don't you like?
