You got some, uh, interesting things in there. Guess it's good to be open minded. Some of them don't exactly appeal to me, but who am I to judge?

I don't mind a show with ecchi and can actually enjoy them but not when ecchi detracts from it. I don't like it when a show throws in fanservice just for the sake of it. You could have a fantasy action series with interesting cast and plot but then they throw something like that into the fight scenes, it feels forced unless done in a way that isn't purposely bringing attention to it and then detracts from it and kills the mood.

That is exactly why I can't take certain shows seriously. Assuming I'd ever watch High School of the Dead, I just don't see myself ever taking it seriously. How am I supposed to when every other moment there's an obvious panty shot or other stupid things (let's use this girl's breasts to keep my sniper rifle steady while I'm using it!) interrupting the show? It's just silly to me and I don't see the point of it other then being distracting.

I also don't like when a show mixes genres at intervals. I recently finished a series called Kamisama Dolls. It's story was fairly serious in nature involving fighting with giant robot dolls things amongst a few factions however quite often there will be episode where they go to the beach for a fun trip or a vacation or shopping. Happy slice'o life stuff and it just feels to me like its interrupting the main story and is unnecessary and actually kind of annoying. It doesn't need to be there nor does it add anything to the show and gives the series bad pacing.

Yeah, this gets on my nerves too. It's like certain shows don't even know what they are trying to be and it just ends up turning into a disgruntled mess.

I don't care for the beach/hot spring/pool episodes of anime in general simply because they typically have nothing to do with the plot or whatever relevance there was is often put in the backseat whereas fan service and the like take shotgun. It's irritating and just upsets the pacing of the show.
