I don't like the multiple stereotypical girls are all after one guy genre, and I am a guy. That situation would suck with my personality; I wouldn't be able to choose one, nor would I be able to have my cake and eat it to if you know what I mean. In the few I've seen the guy was like me, and where my friends found it hilarious to watch him struggle; i was just sort of like ;_;.

I think the only harem series I got into was Tenchi Muyo, but I think it was because the animation was pretty, and there was ryo-ohki, and airships and Washu~ Other than that I don't know of any genre I'm not fond of... I find it hard to get into a lot of shounen (I like certain ones, but I didn't really get into Bleach and Naruto very well) and a lot of shoujo too. It always ends up with a girl being in love with her dream guy and he turns out to be a jerk but here is this other cute guy that loves her and there is so much drama and all of the illustrations are them having a bubbly shoujo threesome on the front cover xD (although that is more manga than anime I guess)
I guess basically, I'm not really for one genre more than the other if there is a good series I'll watch it, or at least think about it. I stick more to fantasy stuff, and I like slice of life stuff if it's clever and interesting. Also the mahou shoujo genre is very dear to my heart but I have a hard time getting into anything if it' the same as the last 5 or 6 series I tried to watch. *shrug*

Magical Girls I suppose I could have said it like that but, I get used to reading it like that and then there I go D: That made absolutely no sense. But yeah, Sailor Moon, Cardcaptor Sakura, and Puella Magi Madoka Magica are a few of my favorites.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh! I've never been much into those either . . . granted I don't think I've seen one since I was seven, and back then I was still all like, "EWW GIRLS!"

Haha! Eww girls and shiney transformations! It's okay, punkus. Sometimes the girlyness is too much for guys to handle. We won't judge you... maybe
(Just kidding xD)

The worst part of every good anime: realizing that it's over and now you have to find another anime to watch.

Filler is bad though.

Eh, not all filler is bad. Good filler can be used to study aspects of a character that the manga only found time to hint at, to give us extra backstory, or to add on to the existing world. Cowboy Bebop is almost entirely stand-alone episodes that basically amount to filler (damn good filler mind.) It's one of the best anime series I've ever seen (and it's so stylish).

I liked Cowboy Bebop alot as well.
I see what you mean by it allowing us study aspects of a character. Good filler usually dosn't just scream, "THIS IS FILLER AND THE EVENT'S OF THIS EPISODE/ARC, even though epic, WILL NEVER BE ADDRESSED AGAIN!" I guess what I'm trying to say is if it's good filler you shouldn't notice it. My problem with filler is that I think of when I used to watch alot of Shonen anime and they would have these mini arcs that would be sort of epic, and then they were immediately forgotten.

This would be one of those situations where loads of people recommend something and then it's not available in my region, kinda deals.
Now all we need is Madoka Magicka and my life will be complete.
