Which Casting Type do you Prefer?
Which Casting Type do you Prefer? When the main cast is all Male, all Female, or a mixture?
I personally prefer it to be a mixture of male and female in the primary cast. If its all male, I can't help but feel "Too much Testosterone!" When its all female "Too much Estrogen!!" I just feel more comfortable when theres a balance for some reason.

What I like is whatever works with the plot of the series. Sometimes mixed is best, sometimes all female, and on very rare occasions all male. Of course a series with lots of cute girls is going to be more appealing visually for obvious reasons.

I do - if it's well-made! Some great examples have already been mentioned - like Kaiji and Akagi. Also, most shounen shows have a pretty high male-to-female ratio and they are pretty decent.
I'm probably one of the few people on these forums who prefers male characters, mostly because they are much easier for me to relate to, since I am a guy. Female characters are too complicated with all their emotions and sometimes they get mad at the male hero for the stupidest reason. In any case, I like mixed casts and all-male ones, but all-female, I cannot stand. It's just not my type of thing - I find it very hard to relate to girls at all.

My gut instinct is to say "a mix of both, of course!", but it really depends on the series in question and its setting. I'm reminded of Aria, which has an almost exclusively female cast, and Kaiji, with an all-male cast, both rank among the best anime I've seen, so there are always exceptions.
I suppose the real answer would be that I don't really care. It's not something I ever consider as a selling point either way when I watch a series.
