I preferred 2nd GIG to SAC, but not overwhelmingly so or anything. Poker Face in particular is my absolute favorite episode of the series, and one of my favorite anime episodes ever (along with Riders in the Skies and Zodd The Immortal).
And thank you for linking 2nd GIG's OP! It's my 2nd favorite OP of all-time. ORIGA's voice has a way of wrapping itself around my soul.

A bad anime for me was Love Hina. I know its's critically acclaimed and what not but it was so unbearable for me. Keitaro, the male main character, is the nerd you want to punch in the face. Then there are the cliche archetype girls. Maybe at the time the girls seemed groundbreaking in harem anime but now it is just overdone and bland. You have the bitch, the sweet girl, the young girl with a crush, the fighter, the foreign exchange student and the troublemaker. Who does Keitaro end up with? The bitch. Sorry for the minor spoiler.
The animation isn't my cup of tea either it looks like an eroge.
Tenchi Muyo x100 > Love Hina
Now personally I like Love Hina, maybe because it was one of my first mangas, but yeah, it always bugged me how it seems like in the mangas by Ken Akamatsu (both Love Hina & Negima! Magister Negi Magi) it seems like it's the bitch girl that is the female protagonist, seriously fuck Naru & Asuna, give me Shinobu & Nodoka over those two bitches any day, I would kinda recommend you to read/watch Negima! Magister Negi Magi, but if you don't like Love Hina then maybe not as most of the characters are modeled the Love Hina characters.
I love Love Hina. I actually enjoy all of Akamatsu's work. Unfortunately, all of his manga are 100x better then their anime counter parts. And several haven't even been made into anime. The only thing that ever bothered me about any of his works was Magister is way too long for what it is.
