| Since most of the anime industry is purely based on storylines bringing emotions to the audience, I will say that it is hard for me to find likings. But if I had to have liking standards I would say: -If it's an adaptation/sequel/prequel (from something that I know), respecting the original material (ex : not changing how things work or look) is sufficient enough for me, because I liked the original anime/manga. -The anime has to be logical from characters to courses of events and not create irrelevancy (ex: when a character could have easily explain the problem at hand first to avoid issues later on). -Has an interesting story -Has nothing that I hate (lolis or teens who are mentally 4 years old) I would say C because most of the anime that I think are astonishing are ones that focus on dialogues, stakes, music, ambiance and overall message (like my favorite franchise, Gundam or the Devilman manga / Anime). |
| I definitely feel that there are many different ways to appreciate an anime series. Sometimes it's about the story being emotionally gratifying, such as the kind where I find myself cheering when I see good triumph over evil. Sometimes it's about a story having a particularly interesting setting, one that makes me want to explore it or live there myself. Sometimes it's about having characters that I find I can relate to, particularly in their perspectives on, ways of, and struggles through life. Sometimes it's about just having a complex story with lots of moving pieces come together in a spectacular fashion. Sometimes it's about having an excellent sense of atmosphere that really brings out a rich series of emotions. Sometimes it's about leaving me with very interesting questions to think about -- some of which may even be quite troubling or unsettling. Sometimes it's about just leaving me feeling relaxed and/or happy with the world. Sometimes it's about having a character I really "fall in love with" or otherwise become emotionally attached to. Sometimes it's about feeling really sad about something that happened. Sometimes it's about getting a very meaningful life lesson out of it. And sometimes it's simply about feeling fun or amused. I've had all of these happen to me before. And I appreciate this about the medium. |

| I'm a simple man, if I enjoy an anime regardless of the reason, then it's good. |
| My enjoyment come mostly from characters. Their interactions, dynamic, relevancy, depth, etc. No matter how good the story or plot was, if the character does stupid things or is annoying, is a no no for me. Emotional attachment to the characters is what will bring the most enjoyment out of me. And to have emotional attachment to the characters, the show have to be able to hook me with the characters itself, the story, athmosphere, etc. So in the end, it's all connected. |

| Simple, make me enjoy it. I don't really care how, surprise me, show audacity, simple or convoluted. I find it only ostensible that people have an esoteric view of what they like, or how I view it anyway, the way I wish people think at the very least. I'm not getting any younger, so I just take up what I may seem to enjoy, and more often than not, I'd get a simper and a crack, or a hyped moment when a battle is being beaten one-sidedly, showing some sick moves, or my love handles hurting from flirty romance and the pedantic but fun details about a relationship (man, I love reading "chapter 1, already a couple" manga). I just can't get enough of enjoying myself. |

(your favorites in particular) and if so, what kind of like (a, b or c) is the most effective when it comes to earning your like? I would say (b) is the most effective for me personally. For (a), I don't think I've ever watched a show that I've related to. I've certainly been able to enjoy shows with simple characters and character development, but aside from just being a nice watch, they aren't usually that moving or impactful to me. (b), on the other hand, is probably the type of enjoyment that is reminiscent of the series I would consider to be my favorites. With all series, especially Shounen, I want to be invested in the story and world-building. I want it to capture my attention and leave me curious at the end of every episode. I consider it a success when a show is able to draw me in every time I watch it. (c), however, is certainly something to notice. There's something really beautiful and profound about deep and philosophical shows like that. I deeply respect any show that makes the effort to craft a engaging message. Examples of high-scoring shows in each type: (a) - Kimi no Na wa., Anohana, Wolf Children, and Haikyuu (b) - Attack on Titan, Fate/Zero, Guilty Crown, and Psycho-Pass (c) - Ghost in the Shell, Madoka Magica, Code Geass, and Steins;Gate |
| I have two ways to enjoy anime and get the most from it. 1. The anime that follow my criteria (visuals all encompassing), plot (interesting, original, character development), backstory (all previously mentioned) and ending. 2. Pure entertainment (no need to think to hard and just enjoy the experience. So far for me that includes, characters physically growing up, fanservice, sexual intercorse, high quality expressions of characters (during specific moments) characters quoting a famous or infamous saying and spilling of blood. |

I don't know about the details, but I actually really like that basic breakdown of: 1. Emotion 2. Plot 3. Atmosphere There's minor overlap but they're still quite distinct. |
