What you need to know about my list - it was intentional that I put my thoughts on the series under "Tags" - I was initially going to figure out how to modify the format, but I uh.. didn't, and can't bring myself to try now. They're where I want them to be - some day I'll figure out how to / if I can, a day more motivated than this one ;)
.....so
I like me some anime. I don't know what I would have turned out like if I hadn't discovered it at a young age - probably a huge loser - which I am most definitely not now. No, really.
I don't usually "drop" anime... at least not yet. I hold indefinitely ;) maybe one day - I'm not going to commit to NEVER trying to watch something again when I've not ...seen it. That said I am pretty close to dropping one or two because I can't conceive of a future situation where they don't irritate me... I can watch just about anything, it's got to really suck for me to not be able to make it through.
I used to be a strictly action/shonen guy until I found Gintama, which is right up there as one of my favorites - if not my favorite anime. It's Japanese pop culture and anime references made me expand my horizons and it's cross-genre plot and writing made me a fan of pretty much all genres. There's not a genre I particularly hate, and have found even the most overdone tropes / stereotypes / character archetypes can still produce a great show.
If not Gintama, my favorite anime series would probably be "Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha". I just find it too lovable, the world and most of the characters, the art style, the plot, the sound design (especially in the movies) ...all the little details, they're great. The (currently 4) movies blow most other anime movies out of the water. The plots are fantastic as well, and unexpectedly serious - not in a depressing way, like the Madoka plot. The newest / 4th movie "Detonation" is probably my favorite anime movie overall. Followed by the 2nd movie "A's", for very much the same reasons.
Just watch the 4 movies, you should understand. If you don't, you're broken. There is no hope left in your dark world.

Same here, it's a shame there isn't much Nanoha content nowadays even though it's top tier. I'll just have to take solace in looking at fanart and doujinshi for it.. ;-;
How have you been?
She's a lot like Card Captor Sakura to me. Yes I actually think all should become magical girls hahah ^^
Quite the opposite for me... Really busy with work and my desired career. Not that much of time for anime, unless it is on my phone or so, while I am traveling. I am what the say workaholic, hah. Used to have free time which allowed me to watch more anime.
How are you?
