What genre of animation do you guys prefer? Such as action, romance, horror, etc.

I like action packed animation. Love the intensity in it.

I like a variety of stuff, but typically I like the action ones best; action titles with story. Most of the shows that I really like deal with magical armors and have a basic good vs. evil theme. I typically don't like the cutsie shows that tend to have SD charas all over the place. A little bit of that goes a long way. I like the more darker shows, too. Love stories are okay (as in Karekano) but they won't be my favs... generally speaking, of course. There's always room for exceptions.

I would never have guessed!! :joke /heh

I like anything -- so long as it involves good storytelling. Well-developed characters, internal consistency, etc. Action is good so long as it is backed by a solid story. Same with humor, love stories, mech tales, horror... for me it's like watching a book. I wouldn't finish a book that didn't have a good story, and my time's equally valuable for watching stuff.


[I also sometimes get suckered into something because it has fabulous background music and great art, but if there's not a good story it will lose its staying power in what passes for my memory these days.]

My favorites are drama, action, and the dark/confusing kind.

I did have a bigger list, but these are the main ones. Plot is the main deciding factor of whether or not I'll watch something though.

I am more drawn to the comedy animes Ranma 1/2 ,Love Hina , Excel Saga & Galaxy Angel.

I also enjoy those that have an engaging story like Saikano, Ai Yori Aoshi, Kiddy Grade and Tsukihime Lunar Legend.

I enjoy action anime but action without a solid story loses my interest quickly.

I go for bishoujo anime, shounen romances, action dramas and real-life dramas in that order.

By "bishoujo anime" I mean the term as it was used 3-4 years ago, not the way it's usually used now.

"Ren'ai game anime" is not a genre or else I would say that one. :P

Is "hentai" anime a genre? :^^:

For me, it's all about the characters. As long as they are unique, wonderfully written and played to perfection, I'm happy to see them in just about any genre. :^^:

I'm into action, mech (sci-fi type stuff, of course!), and just about anything with a good storyline and well-developed characters. :D Basically, everything from Dirty Pair Flash to .hack//SIGN and then some. :P

To be blunt and honest I'd say Cyberpunk, Jidai Geki (Samurai Swordplay) and Hentai. *Meh* :^^: I've yet to find a movie that encompasses all three types, ha ha ha! :P

I'd say I'm into a mix of quite a lot. Action, adventure, comedy, and some romance. I also like horror... in moderation though. ^_^ (Don't wanna keep waking up from anime nightmares! :sweatdrop ) Hm... what else...? Suspense! It surely keeps me wanting to see more and more! :vict
I think that's all for now. ;)
