How good are these series?

Has anyone watched these series before?

Full Metal Panic
Bubblegum Crisis 2040
Fruits Baset
DN Angel

I recently started looking into these series and thought it'd be good to hear some insight on them.

Well, Paladin, that really depends on your personal tastes.  Of the shows you listed, I've seen Funimation's dub of Fruits Basket only.  I can vouch for its quality, and I can tell you that I found the series very engaging.  Have you tried reading the reviews on ANN?

I haven't. That's a good idea.
Thanks for the info. :)

BTW, the original Bubblegum Crisis is definitely worth a look.  Have you seen it?

Fruits Basket manga is so cute, as long as you like getting wobbly knees at a drawing of a guy glancing at a girl ... which I admit... I do. I really wish my writing could have that sort of effect on people. I thought the hair color was all wrong in the anime, so I didn't take to it right away (weird hu? I expected Yuki = blond, Kyo = black and Tohoru = blond, but its Yuki = grey, Kyo = red and Tohoru = brunette.)

I can't really say much about FMP or Bubblegum.  I've only seen maybe 2 episodes of Bubblegum and that was years ago.

Fruits Basket is definitely worth a look.  It has humor, romance, and drama and it's all put together so well.  The anime contains my favorite drama scene out of all the other anime I've seen (the scene is Hatori's dream).

DN Angel... Loved the manga, kind of "meh" on the anime.  It wasn't bad but it just felt very different from the manga.  Still I guess I should say it's worth looking into at least a few episodes.

I've only seen two of them, but I loved both.

Fruits Basket..enough has already been said about it, but I just finished watching it this morning. Definitely worth watching.

Full Metal Panic! All I can say is that I absolutely loved them (all three seasons - the original plus FMP! Fumoffu? and FMP! The Second Raid). Another one very much worth watching, even if you only see the first season.

Full Metal Panic cracks me up. I've seen very little but was clued in by some hardcore fans.

I've heard that the first season is the main seriousp lotline from the manga while the second season is the silly parts from the manga. The episodes I saw from both were funny enough. Basically it takes some Robot pilot military characters (the lead male and his friends) and makes the lead male pretend to be a "normal high school student" to help bodyguard a girl who they think will be the target of terrorists. Wackiness, action, and romance ensue.

The second season involves a robot plush creature and I can't even begin to explain that.
