I don't care much for heavy outer space Star Trek-like anime. They just seem dull and lacking.

I also can't stand moe-style garbage like Clannad, angel beats and haruhi suzumiya...

Please provide reasons instead of simply listing out genres.

I can't stand watching drama. I don't watch anime that makes me depressed. Based from my experience watching live action drama series, I don't want to watch more drama in my life.

I wouldn't say "completely don't care for" but I prefer not watching parody's, sports, and an Anime that only consists of comedy. (nothing else)

I don't care seeing anything that contains horror/mystery/psychological as they're my favorite genres. I also have a weakness for moe.
But the genres I can't stand are: Sports and Ecchi/Fanservice. I may watch some animes containing these genres, but only if the other elements are really interesting for me, like it's story.
And the genre I don't watch under any circunstance: Hentai.

Romance

Well when that is the main genre. Anime romance always seems to be she likes him and he is obvious or vice verse.

And Comedy for the sake of Comedy. I just don't find it funny

Needless to say, moe is not a genre.

Currently it's romcoms for me. Even good ones like nodame cantabile, lovely complex, kimi no todoke, etcetc which I haven't seen is something I don't have incentive for.

Nowadays, I find romance series quite sad even if it's romcoms. I mean, I should be the one actively seeking for a girlfriend, why the hell am I watching fictional characters together? It just emphasizes how I still don't have a girlfriend.

Slice of Life is a tough one for me.

I like cute characters as much as the next non-otaku guy, but they shouldn't be the entire substance of an anime. That's why Bamboo Blade, Lucky Star and K-on disappointed me. Their themes (Kendo, nothing and music respectively) were second to moe moe factor.

Nichijou was such a hit for me because it took the slice of life genre and turned it into a a combination of the "What do you mean it's not awesome?" and "Up to eleven" tropes, where even the most mundane task was made into something amazing and hilarious. Comedy comes first, slice of life second.

Sports and Mystery. Usually don't care for Mecha either.
I also don't like horror, and I hate how psychological and horror always seem to be grouped together. Psychological is a favorite genre, and I hate that sometimes I browse other websites for it, and most of the time, all I get is various horror. Or if that's what people consider to be psychological, than my interpretation of it must be totally different.

When I saw you didn't like Clannad and Angel Beats!, the two anime that I practically live for I had a rage mode inside of my head, but all done lolz.

Yaoi, Yaoi, Yaoi, Yaoi, Yaoi, and Yaoi :P I mean I have nothing against gays, its just not the kind of anime I wanna watch. Um and sport anime, and fantasy anime, minor sci-fi like Steins; Gate is ok but I prefer it lighter sci-fi.

Boredom is personal problem. Anime is a niche industry so I'd imagine you're likely to hear a lot of people stating something is boring, calling attention to the flock that agrees with you doesn't make anything you say more true.

^This, Mecha(I've seen so much of it when I was younger I got tired of it), Yuri/Yaoi, sports and also animes have it where the male lead is the weakling.

One that I'm on the fence with is harems as well. If done right I'm in love with it but if it's retarded where all the girls just fall in love with the main character without even speaking to him yet and the main lead being some cliche nice guy kind of character then I just say "no". (One I disliked with incest and this kind of harem being Yosuga no Sora)

So what. More and more people eventually fall into that very genre you claim is becoming boring. How about instead saying of it is the genre that is becoming boring, you say it is you that have become bored of the genre. The latter seems so much more accurate and reads like an actual opinion and not as some ultimate truth that must come to pass.
