I think I'm probably equal pickiness with both, but the difference is that generally I at least try a lot of anime titles (one episode or a bit more even) whereas with TV if I'm not interested completely I usually don't even try it. I think this is because it is really a lot easier to follow an anime, as unless it's a longer series you know how big a commitment it's going to be from day one.

Oh well I'm not opposed to creepy and even more so I love Japanese myth. :)
