True. But a lot of them tends to get overboard and spill all of them into it. They should put just a pinch of it into the show.

rather Loli , Inspiration, girls , Tsundere, Action

For the most part, it just needs to be entertaining to me and make me continue watching the series, regardless of genre. Less fan service is nice for me, since I'm a girl... I can handle it, but too much fan service usually means the anime doesn't have much else to offer. Good art is nice, soundtrack can really add to the mood.

Girl, even men doesn't enjoy continuous fanservice. Why?

This.


Does that mean you're willing to watch a genre you hate as long as it entertains you?


I would suppose so...

- Art
- An interesting plot which arouse curiosity
- A lot of various characters with different personalities
- A protagonist who isn't dumb,weak or a crybaby (i hate such protagonists -.-*)
- Heroin (Tsundere<3,childhood friend or transfer student (can be a girl with supernatural powers too ^_^))
- Ending of the anime (I hate animes which end to sudden...there must be one or two more episodes in which they
celebrate(after a battle) or say that they love each other <3)
- A suitable opening and ending for the anime (music and video)

and...

^ Maybe a bit of action too...

I like heroin too. xD

In all seriousness though, I totally agree, the characters are so important. It's like the backbone of an anime; without likeable characters nothing else matters.

Even though I agree, people has different taste and level of understanding of the characters. So I wouldn't call it literally the whole backbone of an anime, but part of it. It's like the backbone consisted of:

Story
Characters
Art

If an anime covered these well, they should at least got in a level of "decent" through common judgement.

I believe that it's all in character depth and environment. I think that an anime with well defined characters and multilayer personality, and a great environment has potential. That's why I liked durarara. The environment was very eye catching and noticeable. The characters were also very well set. So I'd definitely say good character definition and environment design.

I don't particularly hate any one genre, so I think I define a good anime as an anime that knows what it's doing and who it's trying to appeal to. Characters and setting are of course important as well. If they know what they're doing, I doubt the plot would worsen. Or it could have no plot, then I only have a problem if they suddenly add a complex one and confuse their audience.

HOTD. Is it zombies or boobs? The name implies zombies, but nope.

Boobs. Why?

HOTD
Highschool of The D

If you catch my drift.
