You've barely scratched the surface of anime (again, judging by what you listen only.) Another thing is, if you're not willing to watch original audio with subs, you're not gonna' get far with anime. I know how it is; when you're not accustomed to reading subs, they're your biggest fear. I used to be the same way; I refused to watch anything in original audio. Now, I will always choose original audio over an English dub. The Japanese language is fucking awesome.
There are some notable exceptions, such as Hetalia and Baccano!
A great deal is lost in the accents in a few anime, it even affects Black Butler so a small extent.
But I'd agree... in almost every anime: original audio stands head, shoulders, and chest above english dubbed.

English dubs are usually okay (at least in my experience, maybe I've just been lucky), but I've heard Samurai X was so awful they scrapped it and redubbed it as Rurouni Kenshin.
Kenshin is far from the worst dubbed offender, it's 'pretty good' most of the way through... but it lacks energy and feels somewhat devoid of emotion.
I mean... it could be Tiger and Bunny... >_<

Claymore is amazing.
Bunch of badass women doing badass shit with great big badass swords. Lots of blood, what isn't there to love?

I'd agree 100% here... of course, I also think you should read the manga, but maybe that's just me

Loved Baccano

Story also flows better.
HSotD is alright as a manga, but as an anime... meh. Especially not the dubbed >_<

'Course, it's all just down to taste, in the end.
Who doesn't like cutesy bouncy things on occasion?

Because a bunch of super-serious shit is just going to make one moody, grouchy, and generally unlikeable.
There are a lot of animes which fall under this... I don't generally consider High School of the Dead to be one of them
It takes itself a lot less seriously than its subject matter might suggest, but isn't it standard shonen? 0.o It's been several years since I last had anything to do with it...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3YvAr0AR5Z0
Because it's so adorable!!!! XD
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
