Actually they're kind of different 'series' to me, so I like them both. I prefer the satire and dark wit of the manga, and Excel comes off as a much more 'sane' (extremely paranoid) character, and she fills more of an 'everywoman' role as the lead. I find it funny that Hyatt is considered to have a really bizarre drug habit in the manga (which was taken out) and her extreme doses of medication keep her relatively "alive." Also exciting is that later in the series, a third main character is added, Elgala. (Well aside from the other characters, anyway.) There is also a plot, which helps. Plot is good.
If you haven't read it, you should give it a try. The series is a little more 'high brow' than the anime, but still just as really off the wall at times. Viz has 15 volumes out now, and they do a really good job with it.

If Excel Saga is the reason you don't like anime, then maybe you should look for something a little more serious, like Cowboy Bebop or Trigun.

Excel Saga and Puni Puni Poemy are in no way representations of the entire anime syndicate.
You might as well say "South Park is the reason I hate cartoons from the US and Canada! It's so filthy and horrible!"And.. why did you sit through the entire Excel Saga series and Puni Puni Poemy if you despise anime?

My favorite episode was no. 17 ("Animation USA"). The Sailormoon sequence is freakin' sweet, and much more amazing when you realize that the JPN VA for Excel was also the VA for the SM anime!
Now, that's golden!
This particular episode was funny subbed, but down-right hillarious dubbed!
Excel's attempt to make friends with the locals is a perfect example of this.
No, Excel Saga/Puni Puni Poemy is not for everybody. That freakin' thing had disclaimers written all over it. Heck, even the episodes had "disclaimers"! For someone who may be offended by it, why they would continue to watch even after reading the warning labels is beyond me.
Excel Saga shouldn't be too hard to find. It's been out for 5+ years, and they've just released a thin box version a while back. Good luck finding Puni Puni Poemy, though.

It's so friggin hilarious! Pedro and Nabeshin are the best.

The first episode and the episode with Key have to be my favorites.

Fortunately, the Excel Saga DVDs come with AD-Vid Notes (don't know if the thin box DVDs have this). With these, footnotes appear throughtout the episode with the references used during that very scene, as well as a little Japanese cultural notes.
And they say anime isn't educational.....:P.
