InuYasha is one of those shows that pacing never lets it down, there is always something interesting and even between the arcs the little filler it has, you won't be bored.
I actually picked up HunterxHunter when it was at around episode 50 because /r/anime was raving about it so much. Initially thinking it was going to end soon, I though I could finish it quickly. I had known about the manga and the previous OVA's and series before but never got around to watching them. Little did I know it was going on for another 100 episodes and every single one was amazing.
*EDIT*
It's finally happening! Expecting a BD/DVD release early next year, been waiting 2 years so whats a couple of months more!?
