Yes, not to mention the Kenshin manga is amazingly awesome while Naruto quickly becomes boring and predictable.
Funny that unpredictability is mentioned again; given that it is one of the better reasons which kept me watching Scrapped Princess (not that it is inherently bad, mind you).
Unpredictablity is a good thing, I like my anime unpredictable because everything I watch is so predictable.
Example: House MD
I love it to death, but it follows such a repetitive formula.
1. Someone ends up with bizarre affliction.
2. House can't be bothered to do anything but slack and be rude.
3. After some coaxing, House and his cronies try to guess the disease based on the symptoms.
4. They guess wrong and give the person the wrong treatment, and then the patient takes a turn for the worse.
5. ???
6. Profit
With the exception of a few episodes, the series strictly follows this pattern. Fortunately, good acting and humor save the series.
Speaking of unpredictable, I've managed to convince my dub-whore friends to watch Haruhi, and they seem pretty excited about getting to watch the whole series. Chances are the only reason they're gonna sit down and deal with it subbed is because I warned them of the odd cast for the forthcoming dub.
Anyhow, I get to convert a few more folks to Haruhiism, and I'm considering making some "Haruhiism" shirts or something to give as gifts for the sake of lulz.
