You are too harsh on you again. You have your tastes and this is fine^^ That's why we can socially interact and make friends. Besides, aside from "a certain anime" and Itazura no Kiss, I know of the rest and I rather like them too (which FMA by the way? TV original or Brotherhood?)

You want me to get dirty to get some more dirt on myself? Sure! My favorite animes are :

- Gokudo Manyuuki: Very old but very fun anime, with colorful characters, in a similar style to Slayers (but with less urgency, as it is 100% comedy)

- Slayers Next (aka Season 2): same as Gokudo for me, except the final bosses are serious matter. I really like part 2 more than part 1 and I never got interest in part 3

- F/SN Unlimited Blade Works: What can I say? Shirou is a badass without being kicked in the balls in this one, so I can only like this one (not sure if I will like Heaven's Feel... I'm not a huge fan of dark stories)

- Jojo's Bizarre Adventure part 1 to 3 (almost equally): And I mean the latest renditions. I wasn't a big fan of the 90s series, and the early 2000s OVA were ok but not awesome (they also took some liberties I'm not a huge fan of). Overall, I love the show because it's whacky, emotional and badass at the same time, and all arcs are treated very differently which makes it fresh each time. I never watched part 4 and I don't feel "magnetized" to it like I were the others [Jonathan is a goddamn hero and I love him. Favorite of the Jojos, contrary to everyone else I know finding him boring and bland]

- Demi-chan wa Kataritai: Came for the Suwabe, stayed for the show. It's cute, it's deeper than expected, the characters are charming and I do want to hug those girls in a fatherly way, which is rare for me.

- Katanagatari : Yes. The lesser known work of Isionisin (love that nickname). I wanted Yan Qing for the sole reason he looks like the main character by the way. Also, the heroine is cute... I'm not a huge fan of the narrative AT ALL but the thing is visually too pleasing for me to turn down the show and, despite the strange art style (at first), I rather love it!

I also have a soft spot for Saint Seiya, but more in concept and ideas than execution. Seriously, the writing is bad (I'm talking about original, I'm not a fan of Lost Canvas at all)

If I have to talk about manga for a moment, I have to say Saiyuuki as a whole. I love, love, love this manga; 1000% better than the shows adapted from it. Minekura art style is way too specific to be adapted on TV --eventhough the more recent works are way better about this, and the seiyuu are doing a terrific job with it... I mean, the main character is voiced by the same who does Salieri in FGO and I can't get enough of this voice <3

Also, Saint Young Man. THAT MANGA IS AWESOME.
