Describe your favorite Anime Genre!

Grumble Grumble Grumble

For those of you who want to declare to the world what Genre of Anime you prefer, this is the thread to do it in. But if your going to Post, you must explain (with more then two sentences) what you prefer, and why you prefer it....

As for myself, my preference depends on the time of year. During the bright and warm summer months I tend towards the darker and more complex Cyberpunk Sci Fi, Vampire/Demon Hunting Genre and other Adult Subject series, while during the winter months, to counter the colder and darker season, I tend towards the brighter and more positive comedies, shoujo and shounen adventures and other slice of life series. There isn't a single Genre that I can claim to be my favorite, as I've seen so many Anime series, I know that there are real gems, even in Anime Genre that I tend to avoid...

So what Genre do you prefer, and why do you like it over the other Genre styles that are out there???

Re: Describe your favorite Anime Genre!

I tend to like a lot of action in my anime. Although i too like anime that seems to drag on like Inuyasha for example.But im not into the complex stuff to much.

Re: Describe your favorite Anime Genre!

I almost like evry genre bud i like romance/humor the most.
The reason for this is that we al expiriense simuler situations so evryone knows whats it about, for instense Love Hina or Ai Yori Aoshi.
There very easy to understand and very funy.
But often whit just humor its often bassed on the Japanese coltuur so its dificult to understand if you dont no anything about Japanese coltuur, for instense Excel Saga.
Its funy bud half of the jokes arent funy becose there dificult to understand.

Re: Describe your favorite Anime Genre!

For a long time I was heavily into Macross and Evangelion, but my fav genre would still have to be the series' like Ranma, Bleach, and Tenchi that include the comedy of high school life with the drama and action of battling.

Re: Describe your favorite Anime Genre!

I love anime that either involves Mechs, a romantic story within a darker one, a complex storyline, or is a pure comedy... That's kind of vague, isn't it?

Well, my favorite are Rozen Maiden, Azumanga and Escaflowne... Hopefully, the gives you an idea of the kind I like...

I don't like it when the anime loses it's plot and goes into loads of fillers, though... That usually puts me off the anime *cough*Naruto*cough*Bleach*cough*

Re: Describe your favorite Anime Genre!

i'm into a lot of action especially like the shinobi/samurai anime like naruto or samurai champloo. i would have to say though that my favourite genre is cyperpunk stuff like Akira or Metropolis and Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex, which is my favorite anime.

Re: Describe your favorite Anime Genre!

I would definitly agree with your choice of anime. I also like the shoujo genre as well because it tends to have more substance then a lot of fighting shows including the Dragon Ball series and Baki the Grapller. It also has bright colors and the storylines tend to be a lot better. I also really like sci-fi anime for same reason of substance. I never met a person on this forum that likes the exact series I do.
