Well, considering a fan is "An ardent devotee; an enthusiast." and being a fan (bordering on fanatic 
) myself I have to say an anime fan tries to watch as much anime as possible. This means a true fan will watch series as diverse as possible and not just stick to a specific type. Of course taste plays its part as well because since watching all the anime available is impossible one has to choose what one likes the most. But taste is such a relative thing! Just because I don't like something doesn't mean it's bad. It will be great to somebody else and I'd have to be very presumptuous to consider my opinion better than everybody else's. Plus, anime is like fruit, you don't know what it's really like until you actually eat it, no matter how good it might look from the outside.
I don´t think Kenshin and Inu Yasha are the best anime series out there either but they're cool and fun to watch and definitely a must for any anime fan. And mind you, I'm not from the US so I don't even know what Adult Swim is (okay, I know it's a tv channel but that's it!), these series transcend any tv channel.
Anyway, changing the subject, I have to add a new series to my favorite anime list, Mushishi. I don't usually appreciate series that are episodic but Mushishi is completely different from anything I've ever seen. It's like each episode is an entire series by itself. Definitely fabulous!
