DBZ is quite possibly the most overrated anime ever. The original Dragonball was okay~ it wasn't all that bad, and the characters still looked slightly human. (Except maybe Tien.) But DBZ had a very thin storyline, which repeated itself over and over and over... GT is just a joke.
Inuyasha is a little overrated... I only saw what they aired on CN, which is under 50 eps~ and I think the storyline is starting to get a little old now. The show is still being produced in Japan (hell, the MANGA is still being produced), and it's at at least 150 eps. It's becoming a feudal era DBZ, in my opinion.
Rurouni Kenshin is a little bit overrated, but not that much~ I honestly don't know that many people who watch it. I think the problem is that it had a good fanbase before it ever officially came to the US, and when CN started airing it, it gained hordes of new fans (who had probably never watched anything but the dub), and they tried to revive the series. (That all being said, RuroKen is my favorite anime. ^_^)
Yu Yu Hakusho is overrated, too... in my opinion, it's not that great of a series, and the plotline consists of - basically - fight the enemy, almost die/REALLY die, be brought back, etc., etc., etc. Like DBZ with spirit guns. (And a little Yusuke-Keiko fluff.)
[EDIT] Oh, I forgot Pokemon. 😘 It's almost as overrated as DBZ, though it's aimed for kids who'll eat up the merchandise~ and they do. In my opinion, it's not even all that great a kids' show... and they've even got new Gameboy games out, so I don't think it'll stop. I wouldn't be surprised if Pokemon reaches 400 eps, if it hasn't already. [/EDIT]
