For me it's slice of life romance, comedy, sport, music and CGDCT.

Comedy. It's easy to please me when it comes to comedy. 2nd one is either slice of life or action.

Romance for me. Unless it's paired with harem then I already know it's gonna be a flop. If it's paired with music however, those tend to be really good


Also sports and shounen seem to work together really well

Genre doesn't matter much to me tbh if the show is written and directed well.

I enjoy mystery and psychological anime, and if there is romance in it, then it's even better. But I don't normally look at the genre tags as much as the synopsis.

Basically, all of the tags of Yakusoku no Neverland... I really should watch it someday.
As for demographics, I prefer seinen. Anything adventure-tagged would also be nice, as long as it's not typical fighting shounen or also tagged with action.
I do like action-adventure... just not really in anime. I mean more like an exploration, or perhaps worldbuilding. I love exploration anime; where are they?

For me it's Adventure, Romance. Action is nice but usually it's not done too well and as much as I love Action + adventure I know most them are shounen garbage. Not saying that all shounen are garbage cause my Favorite anime is HxH. There's exceptions to everything but I acknowledge that most shounen are wack and lack substance.

Probably only military. I love genres like adventure, comedy, slice of life, and fantasy but they're so over saturated that there's a high chance they'll turn out bad. But with military, I love this genre so much and there's not too many so I'll probably end up liking it

When it comes to genre I don't care.
As long as the story and characters is fun and interesting.

When it comes to my favorites it jump around all over the places, Shoujo, Sci-Fi, Fantasy, Slice of Life, Music and so on.

But if you force me to pick, latley I have been enjoying a lot of Isekai aca Fantasy shows. I think it's a fun genre.

Do we consider 'Yuasa' a genre by now?! If so, it's certainly my favorite.


Only if you're elitist, since they praise every anime that he makes as the best aninmu ever regardless of the quality of anime in question.
The entire thing reminds me of Emperor's New Clothes tale.

Well Yuasa's works are certainly imaginative and people appreciate strong creative identity in an artist so it's no surprise that Yuasa is so loved.I don't absolutely love everything he does but I can see the creativity behind it.

I'm a fan of Yuasa myself, I love Tatami Galaxy and Kaiba.
I think that he is an amazing director, but I don't think that everything that he makes is a masterpiece.
I hate when people can't think for them selves and just assume that if the director of some anime is famous that anime must automatically be considered good.
Eizouken ni wa Te wo Dasu na! this season is a great example. Not a bad anime but it's hardly something that I would considered a masterpiece on a par with Kaiba or Tatami Galaxy.

Oh, the classical elitist, guess I disqualified myself then to be one because hadn't been impressed by Devilman Crybaby.
What a shame, and I thought I could become one of those mythical creatures.


That's precisely the point I was trying to make.
People should learn to think for themselves instead of blindly praising everything that he makes as the best thing since sliced bread.

1. Thriller
2. Music

While it is not true for 100% of the anime, majority of this genre often avoids supernatural/fantasy stuff or make them non-essential to their plot. Although there are great comedies without supernatural elements.

Actually yes I love Pingu. It was not only my favourite childhood cartoon, but I also unironically enjoyed watching Pingu in the city.

High chance of me liking it if it has the comedy tag, also judging off of my 10/10 rating list, SoL and romance (along with comedy) tend to be rather common

This anime is missing from my list, but I'll watch it soon, having seen the other girl volleyball anime (attacker you and attack no 1), though I know it will be inferior due to just 23 episodes

Easily isekai. The genre is only getting more and more mature each year. Ever since .hack//sign and Inuyasha the genre has been entertaining. These days with Re:Zero, No Game No Life, Gate, muh slime boi, etc.. if you're even mildly interested in isekai you'll probably be able to find one that you like.

Battle shounen and sports anime. I think I liked every anime I watched from this genres, with only a few exceptions (bnha, katakyo hitman reborn).

I looove me some battle shounen.Sports not so much more so because I'm already not into sports at all in real life so I tend to zone out whenever the anime gets to the more sports centered parts of the episode eg. Hoshiai no Sora.
Straight-up battle shounen though, is something I love because more than often these type of anime tend to have mutiple types of genres under its belt so it's guaranteed I'll at the very least be entertained.I like animes that have a bit of everything.

Obviously CGDCT and SoL. Cute girls almost never failed me, unless the story is just plain boring or artstyle/animation is trashy.
Comedy anime are also can be an easy hit, unless it’s harem/ecchi or it has an adult humor which I absolutely despise.
And not actually a genre, but I most likely will enjoy Seinen anime - as long as they have 0 romance included.

Magic//Fantasy//Yuri.

That's all i need. No harem needed, no overpowered mc, just a simple magic//fantasy story. An rpg game like setting is fine. But i don't want the story to be mixed up with goodwill or realism. I just need it to be game like so it can be enjoyable. And not to be taken so seriously.

For yuri, if it's done properly it'd even be better than any romance anime out there. I like the idea of obscurity in yuri anime. I just can't get enough of it :(


Wandering Witch is the best light novel ever!
