I'd like to think in the future, people could just come to this thread and ask "I've exhausted what I thought looked interesting on the list, what else is there or what on the list should I reconsider and try given x, x, and x." (Yeah, it was probably too soon for me to say I was surprised Nanoha wasn't mentioned. I just saw the Shoujo section and and thought "huh?")
And as for sci-fi, I think it's a good secondary label to denote stuff like mecha, or that the setting is futuristic, out in space, or whatever else like that. As a primary label though, I think it should be applied to shows that really spotlight technology and its implications and consequences. Stuff like Denno Coil, Ghost in the Shell, Serial Experiments Lain, even Eden of the East and Summer Wars to an extent. There aren't a ton of shows that fit that bill, but it's my absolute favorite genre/subject matter, so I'd like to see if any more good shows I haven't seen pop up by my definition. I won't ask things to be rearranged, but there's my two cents on sci-fi.
