That's what I want to say after watching the series you recommend I watch - I want to be stunned I didn't watch this when it came out. I've had the experience a few times -
Seirei no Moribito, Dennou Coil... I try and always have one older series I've never seen and one favorite I'm viewing again in my "watching" list, along with the currently airing shows, and as I just finished
Ghost Hunt I'm looking for its replacement.
I'm pretty much wide-open when it comes to genre - my anime list and ratings are
here. I'll watch anything as long as it's good - if I had to pick genres I'd say slice-of-life, comedy, coming-of-age, romance, fantasy... And a great male lead is a plus. But as you'll see from my 4.5 and 5-star ratings I'm not really concerned with genre so much as quality. If anything, I tend to really love character-driven series.
I know this is a pretty broad request - but I appreciate any suggestions you might have. If I haven't watched your favorite series - let me know!
