>I usually use AnimeNfo.com

Looks like you can only tell AnimeNfo what genres you like and a few other basically irrelevant criteria. My tastes, and I would assume most people's tastes, aren't simple enough to be contained merely by genre. Since AnimeNet compares your ratings to other users' ratings, it can base its recommendations off of subtle qualities that maybe not even you are aware of. I mean, look at the top 10 suggestions it has for me:

Azumanga Daiou
His and Her Circumstances (Kare Kano no Jijou)
Banner of the Stars (Seikai no Senki)
GTO (Great Teacher Onizuka)
Lupin III: Castle of Cagliostro
Crest of the Stars (Seikai no Monshou)
Voice From a Distant Star (Hoshi no Koe)
Kodomo no Omocha (Child's Toy / Kodocha)
Rurouni Kenshin OVA 2
Tenchi Muyo OVA

I mean you've got various kinds of comedy, drama, sci-fi, action, and drama. Where's the common ingredient there? I have no idea, but I do see that I could like all of those. Except I am kind of surprised to see Kodomo and Tenchi on there.

Anyone wanna share their thoughts on any of these anime or list the suggestions they got from AnimeNet?
