To be perfectly honest, I don't mind any type of style as long as it fits the story and is to my liking. But if I had to choose, I would probably choose the category of: Bebop, Trigun, Hellsing, etc. There's something about the art or the way everything is drawn that makes it incredibly appealing. It still has the basic anime features, but there are also certain features which are realistic (proportions, eyes (at times), etc.). The tone of each series is also balanced, like CC said, dramatic and yet comedic at times which also fits each style.
Like I said before, I don't mind realistic styles or full-frontal anime style. I admit, however, there are certain animes that don't appeal to me, like the DB series or Pokemon series...mainly because the style isn't what I prefer. When I was a kid, I've always liked "pretty" animes and what I mean by "pretty" are those typical shoujo animes where the characters, settings are drawn delicate and feminine. Colors are pastel and bright...watercolor, in a way (a perfect example of this is a new anime called Ashita no Nadja or "Tommorow's Nadja"). I still do like these styles, but seeing more animes now introduced me to the gritty, edgy styles as seen in Bebop or Hellsing or the realistic styles as seen in Spirited Away or Millenium Actress. And all these, I am open to and actually do prefer.
