I'm gonna say......

• Love, Chunibyo & Other Delusions
• The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya
• Sakura Quest

None of those are on my "official" list of favorites, which I frankly haven't actually touched in years — and for all I know the Chunibyo and Haruhi light novels are better than the anime — but the whole idea of "favorites" is kinda nonsense, anyways, right? A lot of people, myself included, hear the word "favorite" and basically end up running a computer program in our Linux-ass brains in order to sort through eeeeverything of the specified category, to try to scientifically measure some vague idea of "most liked", and then we'll inevitably feel bad when this program fails to do the impossible, and we just sort of have to wing it, as if "winging it" represents some sort of "betrayal" of... Pff, I dunno, fictional characters? Our past selves? The collective efforts of the many talented people who worked on these things that we're awfully fond of but just didn't "make the cut"? Something like that.

No, the true meaning of "what are your top three favorite..." is generally just a fancier way of saying "please name any three that you like of..." — where nobody's going to judge or correct you for what you say, as long as it can start an interesting conversation, or says something deeper about you or your overall preferences. In which case even just rambling about my own linuxbrain problem with the concept of "favorites" probably reveals more than plenty about the rationale for at least one of my picks, if not two of them.
