For me, i would have to say i like the cowboy bebop style. I enjoy the fact that anime is considered so different from anericanm cartoons by the way it's revolved around a mature realistic idea, and the story stays constant, with a definate beginning and end. The shows with action that is cool, but not overboard, like the ever so popular DBZ, and a plot that is serious and remains serious, unlike Trigun, where, imo, gets a bit to "silly" to me. For me, my favorite kind of anime are those that you could put into the form of a book, and have some adult read it, one who's never heard of anime, or the idea that a cartoon can be mature, and then have that person believe that it could be made into a really good movie with actual actors. Like the show Akira, the weird plot, but thill very mature, and as far from cartoony as you can get. Also, Ghost in the shell. Jin Roh, and Grave Of The Fire Flies. These to me are animes, that could be mistaken to be, by a typical American, that it's material for a good live action movie or series. But that doesn't mean i don't like the comedy, the moments in CB, and Akira were quite humorus, but it remained a serious story with serious charatcers through and through. This is what makes anime so appealing to me. So i guess i made my catagory as the kind of anime that is realistic and mature, but still keeps an interesting show, with it's bit of comedy or small comedic relief. Record of Lodoss War, Hellsing, Berserk, and Escaflowne are also examples.

I'm pretty sure i got my point of what kind of genre i'm pointing out here.

I still love the shows like X, Tenchi, Golden Boy, Excell Saga. But the series and movie i really enjoy for the art of anime are in the description above.
