...and what makes it so?
This isn't necessarily a favorite show, just one that seems to have all the right ingredients that makes it distinctly anime above and beyond.
In my case it's probably Cross Ange.
It hits pretty much every checkbox of stuff that says "Anime" to me all in one show and cranks it to 11.
It has pointless yuri, stupid levels of fanservice, mechs, an all female combat team, a kickass loli, a dense and mostly useless male MC, every 'dere' checkbox filled, comically evil villains, enemies that become allies, best friend rivals, actual death and fakeouts, absurd plot elements that make little sense, an aloof princess cut girl, DRAGONS, exaggerated morality swings, bondage, the power of friendship and love, absurdly over complicated evil plots, great action sequences, a hot spring segment, and gratuitous mention of curry being the best food ever.
