What do you think is more important when considering an anime to be your favourite: the visceral feelings that it evokes or the concepts implemented?
While obviously both are important (and most of everyone's favourites appeal to them on some emotional level), do you prefer some anime simply because of the concepts and themes? Or do you think concepts or themes are useless if they don't service creating emotions? Would you say most of the anime on your favourites' list appeal to you more on a visceral level, or more on an intellectual level?
I ask this question because I recently put Kuuchuu Buranko on my favourites list above Kyousou Giga. Both Kyousou Giga and Kuuchuu Buranko appealed to me deeply on an emotional level, but if I were asked which one evoked stronger feelings, I would say Kyousou Giga. Nevertheless, Kuuchuu Buranko appeals to me more because of the number of cool ideas which it packs into every episode. Therefore, I put Kuuchuu Buranko higher on my favourites' list. Any similar experiences?
