well this is an interesting waste of time...but since I have time to waste I'll join in.
Anime Rules!!
Why? Because its the only non-live action medium of entertainment that displays and deals with everything that people deal with in real life. Life, death, love, fear, and even magic. (yes there is a series where the characters are playing with cards that look very similar to magic cards.)
Besides, I know redmage, he just likes to be a pain in the butt and cause trouble.
I'll just flush him in the toilet next time he comes to my shop and force him to sit in front of the tv for hours watching nothing but romantic comedy anime with some pokemon thrown in for good measure.
I've even seen him peeking at episodes of Ranma 1/2.
