I like some anime, but not enough to say I'm a fan of the genre. I used to consider myself an 'anime fan' (and go to numerous anime conventions), until I realized that the vast majority of it (and especially the newer stuff) was like US cartoons; for children and over-dramatic or silly. There's some real gems though, Miyazaki's works, obviously, my favorites being Princess Mononoke and Spirited Away. I also like Cowboy Bebop, Wolf's Rain, Fullmetal Alchemist, Black Lagoon, and Twelve Kingdoms. I've seen most of the 'classics', and about 50+ series, but, yeah, there's only a handful that I really thought were good.
