[COLOR=DarkOrange]I'm not really sure what I look for in an anime. Sometimes, I think it differs from each show.
I think it might be mostly story, but I also look for animation, and who makes it. Like, I usually don't get many VIZ liscensed animes (bad dub!). Sometimes, I get an anime because the cover looks cool! XD
Um, things I dislike in animes.... well, I'm not much of a horror person. And I like action, but gory action I dislike. And, I'm also a girl, so fan service doesn't really attract me either.
[quote name='Venom][b][size=1]Speaking of comedy, that's another way to turn me away from animes. Now don't get me wrong, I enjoy a good laugh every once in a while but some shows tend to have either too much comedy or corny things that're suppose to be funny; Eureka 7 at one point for me just seemed to focus on comedy quite a bit, and that just didn't cut it. (Honestly, I don't like comedy in animes, but I will watch if it has alot of action.) Naruto on the other hand is just downright corny. Nothing in it seems funny to me, and I've read the manga. All them perverted jokes... Really, that's suppose to be funny? But then again, as I've said before, I don't have a sense of humor.[/size'][/b][/quote]
I agree with you very much.
I like comedy, but corny comedy really can keep me from watching a show. I just don't like it.
Eureka Seven, although one of my top favorite animes, was corny in the beginning. But getting later in the series, it's become much more compelling.
And Naruto, I LOVE the series, I have all the mangas that are released in the US, and read it every month in Shonen Jump, but I just couldn't get into the anime as well as I did the manga. And, I know lots of people though the sexy jutsu was really funny, but I just didn't find it super funny. Oh well, guess I'm weird.[/COLOR]
