Fanservice has nothing to do with Type A/Type B otaku. While Hidamari (only real moe SHAFT show), Maria Holic, and Natsu no Arashi won't fit (because both are comedies, but their tone certainly isn't the norm for the genre), their monogatari series is absolutely Type A (i.e. most SHAFT are fans because monogatari). 

Nisekoi, Denpa Onna, Moon Phase.

I rest my case.

It's not Shaft, that those people like. It's the pretentiousness and artsy style they use in some, but not all of their animes. Shinbo is a master of both and doesn't cater to a single group. He actually only caters to himself and he loves him some moe as well as artsy "deep" stuff.

Haven't seen Denpa Onna, and I think moon phase is kinda borderline. Older SHAFT is already super different from their newer shows.

I do disagree completely on Nisekoi. I wouldn't classify it as a moe show at all.

I apologize if I come off aggressive, but classifying people in such small boxes irrates me. I don't think it comes down to one type or subset because a lot more goes into appreciation and enjoyment than petty things like fanservice or art style.

I fear the direction this thread is going to...

L eats bananas better than Light ever could, so your argument is invalid.


 

Apparantly you don't know what you're getting yourself into.

MERCY!

I concede defeat, the melody of Light's crispy crunches is just too much for me!

This week's Tokyo Ghoul:

Pic isn't showing up

I was pissed at the cliffhanger though, here I was expecting a good fight and then the episode ended

Been a while since I watched any good anime or read any manga. I like psychological horror and mystery manga/anime like Monster and 20th Century Boys, any recommendations? I also like gory anime like Gantz, Berserk, Claymore, etc

I can't see anything of the OP since I'm on my phone :(

So I've already made a few posts in this thread and I have yet to mention Baccano!. What have I become?! Everybody in this thread who hasn't seen Baccano yet should watch it so I have someone to gush with. While it starts off confusing (with my favorite first 7 minutes of an anime), it explains itself as it goes along and becomes the greatest anime I have ever seen...

Also, Issac and Miria are the greatest duo in anime >.>

If you love gory and psychological mangas, you'll love Tokyo Ghoul. It's currently airing. Not quite as good as the manga, but still very enjoyable.

Deadman Wonderland is a horror/psychological anime that I've watched recently. It's solid, but nothing special.

Another is a brilliant horror anime, you need to check it out as well.

I see we have similar taste. You can check out these:

 

Steins;Gate - It's about time travel. Really solid story, has a lot of twists and turns.

Bokurano - Really dark and depressing. Solid story

Madoka Magica - Very dark as well. Also has a good story.

Hellsing Ultimate - Really gory and good fights.
