Halp! I'm too picky
http://www.anime-planet.com/users/Momosan/anime - List of what I've watched
What I really liked: Clannad Geass Death Note Cowboy Bebop Elfen Lied FMP Maria Holic Haruhi Kenshin OVAs Samurai Champloo Seirei No Moribito Toradora Druaga: Aegis of Uruk Currently watching or plan to watch: Baccano Bakemonogatari Darker Than Black Hatsukoi Unlimited 5 Centimeters per Second Spice and Wolf What I look for: Action - Well animated. Seirei No Moribito and Samurai Champloo dominated here. They didn't always fight all the time, but the scenes were incredibly well animated. I notice that the fewer total episodes an action series has, the better the animation is. For example Bleach/Naruto/Soul Eater hooked me in the first arcs because the fighting was actually interesting. 50 episodes in and people start flying and things just start to go downhill. Kurokami hooked me in for a good 10 episodes or so with its fight scenes before it's terribly generic plot and boring characters killed it for me. Slice of Life - Again well animated, but also the characters really need to make sense. I don't always like everything explained to me. It's nice being able to draw logical conclusions to things by analyzing characters and plot. That's what I loved about Geass/Death Note/Toradora/Clannad. (Yes I know Geass/DN aren't slice of life) Comedy - Comedy has been pretty weak for me in anime. Maria Holic is the only show I really enjoyed all the way through. Akikan was funny for a couple episodes. Nyan Koi was ok, but the characters were too exaggerated. I notice almost all anime tries to fit comedy in, but very few actually focus solely on it. Poor animation really really hurts anime in my eyes. If I don't like the way it looks then I spend less time focusing on the story and more time focusing on what I dislike about how it looks. Unfortunately I dropped Basilisk/Hellsing/Berserk because of that. Also yes, this is why I haven't watched Cross Game. The characters in everyone's avatars disgust me . I'm really excited for Black Rock Shooter to come out whenever it does. |

Also Bakemonogatari would probably enjoy though it has a number of different elements in it. And Maybe Suzumiya Haruhi-chan it's pretty funny short episode based as Parody/Comedy version of Haruhi Suzumiya if don't mind the intonation odd animation of it.

For slice of life, Minamike is really good. Well developed characters and great animation. Of course, I only mean the first season. Stay awaaaaaay from the second and third seasons.
"Honey and Clover" and "Genshiken" are also a good slice of life series that are well-animated. I also really like Nodame Cantabile (again, slice of life), but I've known people to take issue with the animation style in that.

Genshiken - Watched about a minute of it. The animation isn't quite what I'd like, but it's not so bad that I won't give it a shot. Aria - Forgot that I heard alot of good things about this and Kannagi. Will have to look into. Sengoku Basara - Watched it when it came out... was a little too over the top for me. Honey and Clover - I'll give it a shot. Minami Ke/True Tears- Looked interesting. DNAngel - lol, intro has middle schoolers flying around. I think I'll pass . |

Murder Princess OVA is pretty good quality action I think but TBH after watching it a 2nd time im not sure if it will fit your plotline requirement. Either way its just 6 ~25min episodes so either you like it and it was worth or a watch or it isnt and you wasted very little time (and I dont think its possible to not like episode 1 if you like action).
