I took "like Anime , but dislike the rest." It's not just one series, I like a few, but most of what I've seen (which is probably the better part of anime, since I only try stuff several people have recommended) isn't to my liking. Especially if the anime applies what I call lazy animation (leaving out faces, doing one-colour backgrounds, still-frame characters moving across the screen) or suddenly turns the style weird (chibi characters, overexaggerated facial expressions), I'm pretty much instantly turned off. I never could stomach Full metal Alchemist, as an example, despite the more or less interesting looking settings and characters.
Of course, around here, when I was in High School, there was no Fantasy or SciFi of any kind on TV (ever. Perhaps one Scifi-ish action movie per month, if you were lucky), there were no SciFi or Fantasy comics (at least not for people older than about 12), basically the entire Fantasy/SciFi entertainment I had was books (and I still love books. I read a few hundred pages per week). So, when my even nerdier friend came to me with subtitled anime off the internet, it was a revelation. "My god, there is non-written SciFi out there".

Does Advent Children count? If so, that is the only thing I can watch, and that is because it is Final Fantasy.
I watch anime and read manga. I tend to avoid the filler arcs because they generally suck. Reading manga and watching anime is one of my favourite past times.
Yeah, I watch some shows - Higurashi, Spice & Wolf, Baccano!, Monster etc. - though it's getting hard to find good new ones.
The general individualist anti-conformity messages in a fair few of them, on account of Japanese society being all about conformity, strikes a chord with me I suppose. And some of it is just too hilariously absurd to not appreciate.

It makes me nauseous by and large. There are a few, particularly the less-drama-more-giant-robots ones that I'm okay with and can tolerate in small doses but for the most part, Anime's not my thing.
I used to watch all anime that i could get my hands on, but now i just prefer manga and even then that interest is dieing.
I love anime, i dislike the really long ones though. Like bleach, one piece, and naruto. The fact that it has over 150 episodes makes it feel like an elitist club. And hey get away from the main issues. I thoroughly enjoyed death note, darker than black, and now I'm watching code grass and it's awesome
I do Watch Anime From Time To Time, but i watch tend to dislike the ones with Cliché like Angsty Teenager Drama And spiky hair and of course Fantasy ones with The Main Character having the Power to stop all evil. I watch from time to time, Golgo 13, Cowboy Bebop Trigun and Death note, but that is pretty much it.
No. There are only 2 I had liked and one of them I watched when I got roofied (By caffine pills) (Excel Saga) and I lost interest in the other when they started to regenerate their limbs I did follow it through tho... (Baccano!) I prefer western cartoons such as Justice League and Iron Man Armored Adventures better in almost every aspect! (My opinion... *hides in the flamebunker*)
Yeah, I watch it. Not as much as I used to, but I watch it. I've been gravitating towards Slice of Life shows for a while now and have completely disowned Shonen action shows. Currently watching Hidamari Sketch and I want to watch Ika Musume sometime in the future. I went through AzuDai, Lucky Star, and Haruhi Suzumiya. I forget what else.
The last "action" show I watched was Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha, but I kinda left the Sound Stages sitting. I (very infrequently) catch episodes of Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt and kinda want to watch Angel Beats.
