I see myself as a very casual anime
fan. It is _a_ hobby of mine, but things like music, movies, PC gaming, internetting,
and other stuff take up more of my time. I suppose I don't have a favorite genre
as I do like a wide variety of anime if it's done well. Not a big fan of shoujo
or mecha, but I have a soft spot for well-done sci-fi and fantasy. Story is the
most important thing, but I can't really say any one element takes a back seat
to any other. Favorite animation team is either Production IG or Xebec;
favorite composers Kajiura Yuki, Kawai Kenji, Haijima Kuniaki,
Kanno Youko; favorite seiyuu Mizutani Yuuko, Hisakawa Aya,
Hiramatsu Akiko. I probably do pay more attention than the average viewer
to the aural components.
