>>8657592irl i love spicy foods, the strongest mustards, I love wasabi and I don't really eat sweets pretty much ever, despite my carrot cake posting. I like complex textures, chewy stuff. Recipes that take all day to cook.
but with anime it is the exact opposite. I love light fluffy, happy, sweet, funny, simple, cheap, fast. I can "eat" the other stuff too, and sometimes I really like it (like Mushishi, Mononoke, The Twelve Kingdoms, 3x3 eyes, Berserk, Hellsing, and the stuff we've watched together so far).
But if left to my own devices, I only really pick out the shows marked with "comedy" from season to season and keep an eye out for unrelenting memes to make me informed of a show I "have to watch" even if it isn't a comedy.
