Both are great, but I honestly preferred The Maltese Falcon. But I love mystery movies and stuff like that, so I guess that's part of it. Casablanca was amazing, though.

Pretty much both, dramatic science-fiction

Also, GITS is now my favorite anime. Much love, Bebop.
Peace.

If i had to really choose i would say it's sci-fi to a more higher degree than dramatic.

I've ne'er actually seen the Maltese Falcon.

Casablanca was awesome though, and I had fully expected to hate it.

Back on the subject at hand. Sci-Fi/Mecha/Action that you're going to get from most people here. I like to dabble in horror. Mostly though I like any anime that either makes me think or makes me laugh. That or has awesome enough fight scenes as to make me forget that I'm not doing either of the previous two.

Ghost in the Shell is definetly science-fiction. The series if anything is more dramatic and even more philosophical then the original movie was.

That's right. Romance has my vote. Gotta love Kanon/Air.

Escaflowne is the only fantasy-animé I've seen that's worth a watch. Can somebody point me towards another?

It seems to me that all the animés I like tend to mix three or more of the above genres. Maybe a story is like a character. If it's flat, if it's got only one possible genre plunked in there, then it's probably not gonna stimulate my brain as much.

Oh but Ember, what about... "makes you cry?"

I feel silly for saying that, but yeah. Stickin' to it.

It's because I am an emotional husk of a human being! It's great!

Seriously though, the only anime which has ever actually managed to make me emotional in that was was the Grave of Fireflies. Which was truly awesome, but it's been the only one. Animation and drawing has the ability to play mood via visuals in a much more expanded way than even film can, but 99.9% of anime I've seen barely touches on the possibility of expressing depressing things in that way. The majority of japanese animation is bright colors and wild, wacky adventure. The attempts at tragedy tend to come off as either melodramatic (See Evangelion), or underdeveloped in comparison to the rest of the plot (can't think of anything off the top of my head). So basically the answer is that since genre/style is almost nonexistent, it didn't even occur to me to include it. Or perhaps I'm just ignorant of an entire subset of anime.

Either or really.

I've seen Casablanca, but I'll have to check out The Maltese Falcon...

Eureka 7 did pretty well at the emotional stuff, especially as it relates to family and warfare... Robotech, was good at making you feel loss and despair from the characters' side.

I was trying too much for the little details (comedy, romance, action/adventure) that I forgot to pick the category. I like Sci-Fi more than Fantasy movies/series, but unlike with Fantasy, I have an almost total like it/hate it attitude toward all Science Fiction works. There's very few gray area's in Sci-Fi for me.
