Is Nanoha really a magical girl when it is science that made her that way?
Yes. It's stated that the technology used is "magic".
Wasn't the remnants of the ancient-belkian civilisation? It does seem odd however that they are able to perform maintenance and modify devices from long extinct civilisations though.

The devices are the tech, yes, but magic itself isn't exactly that. Magic can be performed without devices and it's just giving shape to mana that mages have inside their bodies. Device acts as an amplifier of sorts that speeds up the process of executing spells.

Spells are literally calculations. You can do it on your own but you can do a lot more and faster with a processor (which devices actually are, or more specifically they are computers with highly advanced AIs acting as operating systems).

I'd like to see some reasoning behind peoples choices. I'd like to try and recommend stuff that will change peoples perceptions about their hated genres especially but I think this is more a comment once and never return thread.

Like:
Comedy
Romance
Drama

Dislike:
Mecha
Harem
Magica Girl
Reasoning is:
-Mecha: overall because I have problem with fighting anime and also never really liked the transformer kind of anime, and Mecha anime is mostly around thoses elements.
-Harem: because I love Romance Anime, and most of the time, harem aren't conclusive and when they are, it isn't really satisfying
-Magical Girl: Is mostly target hate, like all Magical Girl anime I've seen, I've hated it, with the exception of Cardcaptor Sakura, maybe if I would get some good recommendations, this opinion would change.

I find the best Mecha show are the ones that ultimately distract you from being a mecha show since conventional series rely on you treating the machines as characters rather than tools. Like Gurren Lagann, Suisei no Gargantia and Daimdaler they all use mecha as a means of storytelling rather than the purpose. Evangelion while I'm not too much of a fan it has it's popularity and deserves a mention.

Herems are generally the result of just copying some usually awfully written galge and trying to adapt it so it pleases everyone and awful ones really demonstrate it. However you could say Clannad and Kanon are technically harem anime as the focus on a central male character and a group of cute females but in terms of more traditional harems I'd point to Amagami or Mashiro-iro symphony (I just llke this one for some reason)

Magical girl animes are some what a rarity and are extremely hit of miss. Nanoha and Madoka are largely considered the two to see and focus one one story for the whole series. The majority of others operate on and monster of the week stucture which means you have to like the heroines to enjoy the show but once an important story arc happens the series can really pay off for your endurance. I always direct to Precure for these and I am definitely biased but they have their charming characters pay off arcs at around episodes 20-25 and 40-50.

Passing by. Entries were written in no particular order.

Favorites:
- Reverse Harem
Because I is princess and I dream about boys flaunting over me like any other fangirl kek
- Comedy
I'm almost always stressed, so I'm always up for a good laugh.
- Slice of Life/Psychological
While I do tend to speak gibberish in public, I enjoy deep, thought-provoking shows that'll question me about the meaning of everything.

Least:
- Ecchi
Definitely not interested in this one.
- Magical Girl
Just so fed up with this genre. It's not that I hate it, but any anime under this is definitely going to be thrown to the bottom of my "To watch" pile. I used to love this genre as a kid (not implying that this genre is for children, though), but I grew sick of it because of watching too many under this one.
- Yuri
Female romance has never been my thing.
Weavoid
Favourite:
1) Comedy, because who doesn't love a good laugh every now and then. Especially when I'm boring as **** the rest of the time.
2) Slice-of-life. Tends to go hand-in-hand with number 1, I guess.
3) Ecchi. Need I elaborate?

Least favourite:
1) Mecha. I hate Transformers, and I hate the anime versions too.
2) Yuri, never enjoyed it when it's showed up.

I don't really have a third least favourite. I'll watch most things.

I think you might be right... I have watched Sekai Ichi Hatsukoi but I dislike it. I more likely meant BL elements mixed with other genres, which is not really a genre on its own then but w/e.
