I dropped Bleach and other things like it because I preferred to steer clear away from shonen yet I prefer some anime called The Knight in the Area(shonen soccer basically). Call me a hypocrite, but I prefer this anime over Bleach because it feels new to me. Of course I'll soon meet someone like animefreak who could tell me the 411 that certain anime have been done like that before. It's just regurgitated stuff. Well shoot, here comes the high and mighty yet unintentionally haughty(since online's tone of voice being anonymous) know it all of anime just to shoot me down.
I'll just say this. I find certain anime cliche/mediocre/guilty pleasure most times, then I actually find ones worth my time. What animefreak says may be as sweet as cake yet I'm leaning towards Kenjitsu on this one. Sure we should give anime a chance and all that, but sometimes I prefer to just drop something that doesn't suit me. It's just subjective preferences.
Nowadays, I'm just weeding out anime and enjoying it more than critiquing it. However, it becomes kinda hard to just enjoy anime with a certain scenario and watch it happen a million times over. Thus, I have to set my standards low just to enjoy meh-nime better. Still at times, I wish I could watch an anime that just blows me away. Until then, stuff like Clannad, Higurashi, Seto no Hanayome, G-Gundam, and Cross Game for instance have wowed me to call them my classic favs haha.
