I like almost every genre of anime, but my favorite are slices of life, either with a mix of comedy or romance or without, or something i can relate to. love the ones that are tear jerkers near the end. I think the only kinds i dont like are mechas that have huge mechas such as
gundam or
big O (even though big O was tolerable because of dorothy), or if the series is particulary long like 40+ episodes i usually dont feel up to the challenge to start it.
I frequently play video games, rts/fps/rpg, kinda all over the place with them. usually watch my anime at times when im taking a break from them.
As for manga, i have a select few of ones im keeping up with. im not a big manga reader, but the ones in my currently reading caught my eye enough to be keeping up with them (and the fact that the anime version of
princess resurrection is a disgrace, i never passed ep 1).
