Days 10 & 11

Whoops, yesterday got away from me. Luckily these two are pretty easy (if unoriginal).

Favorite slice of life anime



It feels like cheating to mention an anime more than once, but it's hard to choose anything but Azumanga Daioh for slice of life. I'm not even sure what else I would count toward the genre. (Does it count if something belongs to another genre, like romance, but does a really good job of capturing the feel of everyday life? If so, I might name KareKano or the much MUCH less well known BL anime Lesson XX.)

Favorite mecha anime



And again with the cheating. Escaflowne, all the way. I really don't like mecha in general, but I loved how Escaflowne incorporated mecha into the fantasy genre. Cloaks! Dragons!

Oh, but thinking of a runner-up for mecha, this has the interesting quality of combining an answer to both 10 & 11. I saw the OVA series at a campus anime club, and it's more slice of life than robot battle, very sweet.

Robotech would have done a lot better in my book if it weren't for bloody Minmei

Minmei was runner-up for most annoying character on my list. (Mokona is multi-dimensionally annoying...)
