@ohmu I didn't anticipate someone listing an entire series (Gundam) in their dislikes. That's good to know. Does #4 include both the original FMA and the FMA:B remake?

I recognize (and enjoy) Tokyo Godfathers but the rest of your "Likes" list is unknown to me. I'm looking forward to looking those other titles up.

I didn't know they remade it.
Again, these lists are less about the series/film/OVA and more about what I've observed about how well I've connected to people who are committed fans of such.
Example: I have no connection to Dragonball or Naruto but I've learned that, if I see somebody wearing a custom-made Dragonball sweater, we're probably gonna vibe.

"Your Name", like all Makoto Shinkai creations, has problems. But if I run into a fan, I know I'm with somebody who is interested in how anime had continued to develop ... and what has been going on in Japan. Shinkai films are arguably bigger there than Ghibli ever was.
At the other extreme, "Crusher Joe" is niche and mostly just fun but it is old and takes a little effort to find - though it led directly (Dirty Pair) and indirectly (anything in space) to other things.
