Offtopic: When does Trigun comes on?

Ontopic: Yeah.. I realize that those anime expressions are unique to anime, but as a person who's not accustomed to them, I feel that they take away from the quality of the show.

Example: Fullmetal Alchemist. This show is one of the best anime I've seen. It is very dark and an engrossing story. Like one review said... when you watch it, you don't think.. "What's gonna happen next?" You think "What will the Elric brothers do next?" The show progressely gets darker and darker. HOwever, it has a tendency to use werid facial expressions and werid anime techinques.. ("pandering" is that what its called?) to add "humor." As a viewer, it often isn't "humorus" and it actually ruins the atmosphere...

Imagine if the show was becoming tense and action/revelations was mounting up and up.. then all of sudden, a werid anime techinque pops up... it ruins the suspense...

However...it does not happen too FREQUENTLY in Fullmetal Alchemist, and the quality of the story overriddes it.

Back on topic.. I misread the topic title.. I thought it was a poll for favorite AS shows in general, so I edited my post.
