| I don't really care about the details, because the most important thing for me is if there's any x factor that will make me excited for the anime, regardless how godly or shitty it is. |
 |
| Characters I can understand and explore their minds, feelings, struggles, hardships, lessons etc. An intriguing story which tackles heavy, high, or at least realistic concepts through said exploration. Something which challenges my beliefs and outlook on the world and myself. Since it would just pure luck anything like that could come out once a year, I'm satisfied with action and a dynamic plot and/or characters. |

| Good art, an exciting story that at least makes sense, a useful male protagonist, cute girls, and some romance if possible. |
| Make me feel for the characters please. Also bonus if it has godly OST and art. |
| Hmmm maybe a really good character development and a well executed anime is what i'm looking for |
 |
| Engaging stories that keeps you wanting to hear more about what happens next. Interesting characters that are likeable and developed as much as possible. |
SanaeSnake said: What about unlikable, but interesting characters?Interesting characters that are likeable and developed as much as possible. That leaves a LOT more room for actual development and gradual change, a satisfying character arc. |
|
| Nakama power, cliche humour and underage protagonists. A lot of Deus Ex Machinas is also desirable. |
| Humour and good action. |
 |
| Characters who act like human beings, and not like anime characters. |
 |
| -The beginning has to be good. The plot must pick up and take off in the first 2-4 episodes. -The ending must be CORRECT. Sometimes I like happy endings, sometimes I like the tear-jerking sad endings. But I HATE it when it seems like the MC clearly died, but at the very end is like "jk jk im alive guys." NO. Stay the f*** dead so I can enjoy my ending. -The underlying theme has to be strong and not lame or cheesy. Some shows even have a good theme, but the plot is so horrendous, it mocks the theme. -There has to be a supernatural element, futuristic society, mystery, plot twist, or SOMETHING to make the set-up interesting. I dont care if its unique or not. -There has to be intense action, psychological/suspense, or horror or something that gets your heart pumping and/or your brain turning. If not, I enjoy corny humor. -The characters have to be likable. No one likes a whiny MC. And there has to be plenty of intriguing supporting characters. They can be unique, cliché, or stereotypical; just not flat, boring, or useless. -I hate to be an art snob, but sometimes I just have to stay away from stuff I dont think I could make it through 26ep of watching. |
~my list
| - An original and interesting story which makes you feel excited to watch the next episode. - Characters that develop throughout the anime in a good or unexpected way without erasing their main personality. Good character development is the key to a successful anime. - An art style that keeps you glued to the screen. You simply want more eyegasms. - No freaking light beams, sun rays or objects that should censor stuff. Uncensored anime for the win! - No open or cliché ending. I want a clear and original end. |
 |
| -No romance (or minimal romance. Preferably none at all, but that's hard to find.) -Lack of fanservice. -Fast paced. Something interesting should happen every episode. Ideally something action-y, but stuff that contributes to character development is fine too. No filler. -An art style where the characters all have different faces. This is more difficult to find in a lot of stuff coming out nowadays, especially with female characters. -Thriller, horror, or action elements. -Interesting characters that either don't fit into a set archetype, or grow out of their archetype and develop as the story progresses. |
| Really good animation, decent story, for a change badass MC, humor and/or sarcasm, great soundtrack. Basically No Game No Life. |
| Ad Astra Per Aspera |
| I'm looking for a great character development. It doesn't need to have amazing fights or amazing graphics. Also, one to die for are villains where you would have sympathy in the end. As they say, only great author can create villains where we will have sympathy over them. |
| The world is not what it seems. |
| I look for a lot of things, but more specifically, I look for characters with a good bond (typically romance but can be a bromance or family bonds too) and good animation. If it's not got that bond, an anime's gotta try pretty damn hard to impress me. |
 |
| Tits and ass |
 |
| Character development. I want (particularly the protagonist) to experience loss and suffering and come out more mature and/or twisted than they were in the beginning. So yeah, doesn't come as a surprise that I like Urobutcher and Key. I greatly dislike stupid and incompetent characters as well as those that are just too OP and bulldoze through everything. Underdogs, those that strive to improve themselves and willing to sacrifice other parts of them (such as idealism), are the best. Music. BGMs that fit the scene will make me remember the scene when just listening to the song. It's like recording the scene on the BGM. |
| Missing the times of Rewrite, good times. |
| Yanderes. I will legit watch anime anime with female yandere main chars as long as the art doesn't look like Aku no Hana's Yes, I am shallow. |
