Re: Describe your favorite Anime Genre!

It'd be easier to describe what I dont like-
I can't stand the "Tournament saga" anime, such as DBZ, St. Seiya, etc. The kind where they fight for 20 episodes, plot is minimal, and they spend 15 minutes either doing flashbacks or explaining a special move and how they won't possibly survive it.

Otherwise, it depends on what I'm in the mood for. I like a good story, regardless of genre, or I like mindless stupid fun (Dragon Half, PPD FTW!). Shoujo comedies are kind of a guilty pleasure. Magical girl genres.. depends on the show. Sailormoon remains a favorite, while Pretear and Mew Mew were rediculous. Ghibli's "Slice of Life" films such as Only Yesterday and Whisper of the Heart (and to a lesser extent, Totoro) are among my favorites from them, and any series like that can bring out feelings of Nostalgia in me (Azumanga daioh does this a lot with its quieter episodes), as long as the characters are strong though, since those kinds of series and movies really require character development to work, otherwise they just get boring as hell.

Also, I'm not really into the mecha genre, too much unless it has elements from other genres. Despite that, EoE is one of my favorite anime movies.
