Favorite Anime…

My favorite of all time is obviously Shin Seiki Evangelion, AKA Neon Genesis Evangelion, (I don’t know how the literal “New Century” became “Neon Genesis”, but if that’s how Anno wants it, well…), followed closely by Super Dimension Fortress Macross and it’s varying spin-offs… I also have a deep appreciation for the Universal Century series’ of Mobile Suit Gundam, which are much more realistic than most of the alternate universe storylines which more closely resemble super robot or kiddie shows…

I also enjoy a variety of light novel type series’ like Toradora and Haruhi, romantic comedies like Ai Yori Aoshi and Ah! My Goddess, and even slapstick comedy like Ranma 1/2… About the only genres I categorically dislike are Hentai (mainly because of pervasive misogyny and objectification of women) and Yaoi (mainly because I am unapologetically hetero and find it icky)…
