Slice of life means a story that is somewhat realistic and seems to follow a character or set of characters thru a set period of time. Basicly ones you can see having a chance of actually occuring in real life.

Ones like To Heart , Rumbling Hearts , Clannad season 1 , Comic Party , Binbou Shimai Monogatari , Kare Kano. could all fit in that catagory.

You mean to watch, not necessarily collect from right? Because there are a lot I don't collect from even though they my favorites.

This isn't easy to pick just one. I got several favorite anime in each category.
I hope it's ok to add more than one, since I really can't make up my mind and some of these are actually a tie for me as in favorites. But after watching a lot of anime it’s hard to really keep just a small amount of favorites. Each category has many more favorites which are too many to post. So these are just some of the ones that come to mind:

1. Romance - Ayashi no Ceres and Kin-iro no Corda

2. Comedy - Ouran High School Host Club, Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge and Fruits Basket

3. Action - Rurouni Kenshin, Bleach, Naruto, Blade of the Immortal, GetBackers, Samurai Deeper Kyo, Saiyuki, The Hakkenden, Samurai 7, Crying Freeman, Flame of Recca, Hunter x Hunter, Weiß Kreuz, Spriggan,

4. Sci Fi - Ghost in the Shell SAC and Cowboy Bebop

5. Fantasy - Sorcerous Stabber Orphen, Straight Jacket, Shounen Onmyoji, Amatsuki , Fushigi Yuugi

6. Horror - Trinity Blood, Curse of the Undead Yoma, Baccano, Monster, Hellsing, Akira, Blood+, Ninja Scroll, Night Head Genesis

7. Magical - Sailor Moon

8. Slice of Life - Great Teacher Onizuka, Initial D, Slam Dunk

9. Sad – Not sure! Some anime I listed already have some type of sadness to them so I guess any of the anime I listed that have sad parts in them.

10. Movie - Ghost in the Shell

Another kudos goes out to MAL. I watch anime that sounds interesting. I never really pay attention to their genres since so many cross. But here goes. :^^:

1. Romance = Junjo Romantica

2. Comedy = Lovely Complex

3. Action = Weiss Kreuz

4. Sci Fi = Mobile Suit Gundam Seed

5. Fantasy = Fushigi Yuugi

6. Horror = Umineko no Naku Koro ni (When the Seagulls Cry)

7. Magical = Card Captor Sakura

8. Slice of Life = Nana (least fave genre)

9. Sad = Grave of the Fireflies

10. Movie = Howl's Moving Castle

I need the genres Mystery, Drama, Psychological Thriller and Shounen. I have a lot of those. :^^:
