Favorite Genre of Anime?
« on: September 15, 2011, 09:22:18 pm »
Whats your favorite genre(s) of Anime, and do you have any good suggestions for people who share your interests?

I enjoy Drama, Action, and Psychological/Thriller stuff.

Drama:
Puella Magi Madoka Magica. I classified it as Drama, but it covers all three. Its about girls who become Magical Girls in order to have one of their wishes granted.
Kore Wa Zombie Desu Ka. Drama/Action, Its about a guy who was turned into a zombie by a necromancer. (Contains alot of violence and a bit of gore. Watch at own risk.
Action:
Tower of Druaga, Aegis/Sword of Uruk. This anime is pretty straight forward, guy gets party and tries to climb an impossible to climb tower, hilarity ensues. The first episode has questionable content, but the rest of it(which isn't a dream) is PG/PG 13.
Psycho/Thriller:
Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni/ Ni Kai. This anime is very confusing, but very satisfying to think about for a long time over a nice cup o' tea. A festival starts in a small town, and a group of friends are involved in a series of dissapearences that ultimately result in people dying. Contains violence, some gore, and takes alot of time to understand. Watch at own risk.
"But are you going to kill her off?"
"It's not your decision. I love the character, she stays."
"Yeah, well the only thing love's done is put you in this position; I say kill her off!"
"Yeah, but you say a lot of things... and how does that work? You're a bicycle" Claudio Sanchez, In the song Ten Speed of Gods Blood and Burial, which is basically about a crazy old writer talking to his bicycle.

Space, Sci-Fi, Action...pretty much all the shonen manga :)

But if it has an interesting plot line, then I'll put it on my list no matter the genre.

Kishi, I loooooooooove Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni (or When They Cry). That is by far my favorite anime ever. Very disturbing, but very compelling.

I mostly watch, uh, high school themed ones.  Azumanga Daioh, Ouran High School Host Club, and Mahoraba come to mind :)
Allasso, Volume 2: Saudade is now out!  Feel free to check it out ^_^
