I normally prefer stories that are well balanced between character and plot, stories that focus on only one element are simply reprehensible to me, although if well done I do make some exceptions. I don't claim to be a great story writer or even a good one, but I do make a decent poet...just not too many career options with that, you know...

Anime/Manga Favorites:

Hana Yori Dango, Inu Yasha, Seikai no Monshou, Please Save My Earth, Kare Kano, Kodomo no Omocha, 3X3 Eyes, X1999, Naruto, Juuni Kokki (aka Twelve Kingdoms), Tenshi na Konamaiki, Tokyo Crazy Paradise, Shakugan no Shana, Skip Beat and the list just goes on forever...although Seikai and Please Save My Earth are my top favorites.

Comics:

Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season Eight and Runaways

TV Shows that Rock:

The Riches, Battlestar Galactica, Firefly, Bones, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Eureka, Dead Like Me, X-Files, Life, and Lost. I also secretly like Ugly Betty...I guess it's not a secret anymore.
