I am in my twenties but still I consider myself an anime addict. I love how they show diversity in the culture as viewer can learn the similarities and differences between the Eastern and the Western culture. I am usually into the sports-related genre and into a little bit of romantic comedy settings. How about you, do you like to watch anime? What genre do you usually watch? What series do you recommend?

I like it a lot, the stories are usually far more entertaining than whats on tv in my own country. That and the art is awesome. I watch... a lot of different genres Mecha, comedy, school life... action, horror... The odd Magical Girl series, though if you'd seen any of the three Nanoha seasons you wouldn't blame me. ;p

I agree with you that watching anime is really interesting. Unlike the soap operas and stuffs, anime has varying themes that can attract anyone from different age groups. Yes, anime are just "cartoons" but there are also themes targeted for adults. I will the Magical Girl Series on my watch list...Thanks.

I also love Fruits Basket, Love Hina and Inuyasha. Though I also like watching them on animax, I prefer watching them in their Japanese language-English subtitles setting. Yes, sometimes watching and reading subtitles can be pain but maybe after all the animes I've watched, my ears are now used to hearing the Japanese language.

I love watching anime, but I'm not sure I have a preferred genre. I love watching a lot of different kinds of anime. My absolute favorite anime ever is "Fruits Basket", but I also love many other titles. I'm not usually big on the sports-related types, but I do like many of the romantic comedies. I also like action titles a lot, though I can only watch so many "mech" type anime before I get really bored of them. The anime club at the university I live near watched pretty much only anime about mechs, so it got really old.

The Fruits Basket anime was really, really good. It's just a shame that the series was only 26 episodes. When I finished watching the anime, I had to borrow the manga set from the local library just to satisfy my curiosity about what's going to happen next...

I watch anime if it's about adventure, travel, or anything interesting, or sometimes weird. I usually watch anime with a high graphics quality. I like HunterXHunter, FLCL, Detective Conan, Kareshi Kanojo no Jijyo, Ghibli Animes, One Piece, Abenobashi, NieA_7, Crayon Shin Chan, Doraemon, GhostFighter/YuyuHakusho, Neon Genesis Evangelion, etc.

The character of Detective Conan is so cute!!! Doreamon can really be childish most of the times but still very, very funny.

I love anime, I've been watching it for years now. There's not really any specific genre I stick to. It just depends on my mood / what people suggest. I guess mainly it ends up being action, but I like others as well. Some of the shows I like are Berserk, Hellsing, Magical Shopping Arcade Abenobashi, Excel Saga, Claymore, Darker Than Black, Ergo Proxy, Monster, HunterxHunter, quite a few others as well.

I'm not into genre thing, i only watch those that interest me like,naruto, full metal alchemist, gundam endless waltz, bubblegumcrisis, mojacko, etc...I love anime cause it helps me forget reality for awhile, and you learn some wisdom from it.
