Jacky shan being the biggest for me, found almost all episodes and binged in a few days. I realized the show is actually very formulaic. Bad guys want to collect a number of artifacts, the good guys tries to collect them all before the bad guys and succeeded but then the bad guys get all the artifacts in the end and the good guys have to stop them. This was plot for season 1,3,4,5,6 and with 2 having the most episode but are all filler. I also watche 50 Code Lyoko but got bored, there almost 100 episodes

Obviously those shows weren't meant to be binged but even then they are repetitive, however with jacky shan i have nostalgia and its still special to me

Gundam Wing was a trip. I think it's meant to be a drama about child soldiers set against a mecha backdrop (like a lot of Gundam), but you really have to fill in the gaps yourself when it comes to character motivations. Even with that, the dubbed dialogue is so hamfisted it's a hilarious watch.
