I only enjoy like three stereotypical anime character personality types.
I believe "Durarara!!" was the last anime I watched...not on the television though because it was not on t.v. yet when I had watched it online.
I would be willing to start watching anime again if it was "different" and not typical with typical characters.
I go through phases when I feel this way. I think the quality of mainstream anime and manga seems to have gone down, and are all stereotypical. But often I find one no one has heard of and I feel like a changed person at the end of the story. But then again, when I manage to get back into anime, I am a bit too obsessive. Some people grow out of it, some of us never will. If you are looking for something different, just look up a random one and watch it. I've found quit a bit of original, if not just downright weird anime stories. I try to stay away from mainstream for the most part, but not always. But to each their own, I suppose.
