My favorite genres are comedy, romance, and ecchi, sometimes mixed with a bit of fantasy or supernatural.
I am active on the episode discussion threads of shows I am watching and manga I am reading. Additionally, I like to follow anime, manga, and light novel sales. Mania.com, which is linked above under website, has a very lively discussion about anime sales, so I use it in combination with the MAL news posts. If anyone is interested in anime disc sales, then feel free to drop on by as we would be glad to have you.
If you want to add me as a friend, then be sure to bring cake : )

I see. As for me h8 dubs because I like to guess seiyu.
I'm looking forward to your reviews.

Now I agree with you.
It’s a harem. But this harem is a bit special; korezom focuses on building the relationship between the male lead and his companions, that’s why I was deceived. Because most of the harem anime focuses on male protagonist perversity. I should rewatch korezom :\
BtW why you don’t write reviews?

Alas I haven’t seen Date a live yet. I do agree that I was wrong about Mayo Chiki. But korezom…
I don’t really think that Korezom 2 has harem.
Bayumu is only loved by 2 girls. One is forced to marry him(Yuki) another (Saraswati) is just a perverted stalker talking nonstop about butt sex.
Haruna, Sera and Eucli are just trolololol Bayumu.
So Bayumu hardly has two girls is it a real harem?

Actually I replied to Alexx_ because I do not recall saying Freezing is not ecchi.... I remember I said Koreha Zombie Desuka is not ecchi though.
If you are interested, here is my reply to Alexx_:
> Freezing not being considered ecchi
Did I say Freezing is not ecchi? I remember saying Koreha Zombie Desuka not being ecchi but I think I said Freezing is considered ecchi.
As for Highschool DxD, it is definitely ecchi. In Japan, ecchi show is called "Ero show" and the main characteristics is nudity or close-up of (clothed) private parts that need to be censored. H DxD has this, Freezing has this, but Koreha Zombie not.
> Do you also think people tend to mistake fanservice for ecchi?
Well, the two are similar so it is understandable that people mix up the two. I think the difference is more a matter of level. Ecchi is flesh exposure that needs to be censored on TV, but fanservice could be just a flash of panty that lasts only a fraction of second. For example, in the most recent episode of Hentai Ouji to Warawanai Neko, a female character kicks the MC and her panty could be seen for perhaps 0.4-0.5 second. That is fanservice, not ecchi. Or in an earlier episode of Hataraku Maou-sama, we have the heroine and her colleague having a conversation while changing their work uniform. That is also fanservice, but not ecchi. You can have this kind of fanservice in any show but ecchi scenes that requires censorship are much more limited in number - you usually see them in harem shows like Highschool DxD or ToLoveRu or shows that put its main selling point on such ecchi scenes, like Freezing or Seikon no Qweaser or Highschool of the Dead. Which is why some people use ecchi as a genre name (a usage that I hesitate to use, just like I won't use "violence" or "gratuitous sex" as a genre name for a movie). As for fanservice, as you can see it is difficult to use it as a genre name since it can appear in just any kind of show.

> I saw a comment saying that you are enjoying Love Live! So do you recommend this show? I watch a lot of ecchi harems but I also like slice of life (Lucky Star, Working, and especially GJ-bu). Essentially, do you recommend this show? Is it funny? Does it have likeable characters? Is the CGI really that jarring : )
I watch 26 shows this season, and I started Love Live without too much expectation - slice of life? Good. Idol? I love idol stuff. CG? Seems not too bad (and it improves over the series in my opinion)
But the more I watched it the more I was drawn to it, and I think by ep.3 or 4 I started to think: perhaps this is the show that I love most in this season... Very soon I decided indeed it was the show I love the best for this season. The character sakuga, from art of still frame to the animation, is easily the best for all the shows this season. All girls are sympathetic and adorable. They all make funny comments, or all kinds of troll faces. And it is not just comedy, there is a proper story about how the girls come together to form the idol group and expand it to end up with 9 people. There is coverage of how the girls form bonding. At certain points I got really moved by the story too. And each episode, while usually has focus on 1 or 2 characters, also kept scenes for other girls, so you will always see your no.1 girl doing something interesting in each episode. And the music is great; not just the song, but the BGM is fantastic, very often used at the right moment to enhance and boost the atmosphere, be it for comedy purpose, for suspense or for touching emotion.
All in all, I highly recommend Love Live. The story is a lot of fun, mixed with good amount of passion and touching emotion, and the character animation/art is among some of the best I have seen in recent years. And I do not think it is just luck or coincidence that this show is heading towards, a bit unexpectedly, as the TOP BESTSELLER of BD/DVD sales among shows this season. Apparently it will lead other titles like Vivired, Tamako, MaoYuu or Haganai by fairly large margin in terms of sales.

> Apparently, no show is projected to get 10,000 disc sales. Is this an isolated incident or is it part of a larger negative trend for the industry?
The Fall season, which is the one before the current season, boasts 8 titles with >10000 disc sales. So I do not see there is a downward trend. From what I see, it may be caused more by a squeezing effect of a fall season that has more popular titles than expected, and the coming spring season which boasts blockbuster names like Railgun, OreImo and Uta Prince and a bunch of eye-catching original and adaptation. People who spend money buying titles from fall or the coming spring season are unlikely to have much left for this season. That said, it is also true that this season does not have any big name like SAO or Fate/Zero in it so the season already starts with some disadvantage.
> I've been really interested in what happened to disc sales this season. I also want to know what shows airing this season have a chance of season 2 or 3 or w/e. I especially want to know if GJ-Bu has any chance of a second season?
Since you are interested in disc sales, perhaps you also spend time reading the disc sales thread in the News Board? This is where I spend time doing analysis for disc sales. I post quite often in those threads.
GJ-bu currently is projected to have around 2.5k of sales for its vol.1 Not really good but it is already better than Mondaiji and its current position in Amazon JP sales ranking is better than average even. So from disc sales point of view, the chances do not look optimistic, but since it is a LN adaptation the most important factor is still the novel sales. And here Mondaiji shows a distinctly good performance, which is why I said it means there is some good chance for it having a 2nd season. So far I do not know how much boost the anime has for GJ-bu novel, but so far it does not seem to feature much on the LN sales chart?
