Top 5 Mean:

Gag Humor 100 6.69
Organized Crime 23 6.5
Performing Arts 27 6.47
Childcare 14 6.45

Top 5 Weighted
Shounen 657 5.05
Drama 848 4.97
Seinen 391 4.95
Adult Cast 163 4.94
Mystery 299 4.94

The mean is more reliable since the weighted heavily weighs in how many hours you have watched so if something is commonly tagged as such, it'll be higher up

Doing the average between mean and weighted average scores, it looks better

I just sorted it by weighted score since that looks more accurate and also excluded genres with less than 100 titles completed just to get a more reasonable list.

So it goes something like this

1. Slice of Life
2. Mystery
3. Drama
4. Seinen (tied)
4. Psychological (tied)
5. Sci-Fi

Yeah this is way more accurate tbh.

My weighted scores didn't change at all, unsurprisingly:
1. Drama
2. Sci-fi
3. Action
4. Adventure
5. Mystery

Also expected is that the new tiny genres/ themes MAL added sneaked into the top of my mean. Before it didn't look that much different my weighted scores:
1. Award winning
2. Suspense
3. Adult cast
4. Love polygon
5. Delinquents

My top 5 weighted genres, all of which apparently have a score below 6.00 Wow, am I really that stingy with my ratings, LOL?:
1. Shounen
2. Action
3. Psychological
4. Drama
5. Supernatural

My top 5 mean genres:
1. Military (Initially, this one took me by surprise since I haven't really indulged in the genre too much, but then I realized that only one anime that I've seen is classified as "Military" on MAL, and I gave it an 8/10, so I guess that puts my mean score at 8.00 by default, LOL.)
2. Suspense
3. Organized Crime
4. Mahou Shoujo/Magical-girl
5. Survival

I'm not a lolicon, you're just projecting your tendency to lewd 2D characters.

If your favourite character is Tsutsukakushi Tsukiko, you are my soul mate.

Been a long time since I've been here, I'll continue expressing myself freely and believe everyone should too.

Top 5 mean -
1. Showbiz (I've only watched 2 - Perfect Blue and Millennium Actress)
2. Strategy Game (2 seasons of March Comes in Like A Lion)
3. High Stakes Game (only Death Parade)
4. Shoujo (just one anime I watched today)
5. Award Winning (Spirited Away)

Is understandably quite skewed towards tags with few entries but high scores. The weighted average is a lot more accurate -
1. Adult Cast
2. Drama
3. Mystery
4. Sci-fi
5. Seinen

3. Mythology
4. Drama
5. Time Travel

I mean - that's pretty accurate. Even more so when I look at 6th/7th, which is Iyashikei and Mystery. That pretty much sums up my taste in anime. Maybe throw BL in there, which weirdly is my lowest rated genre probably because I've watched a LOT of garbage BL shows in the hope they'll be good...

Never used this site before, it’s really cool.

Weighted:
1. Adult Cast- 7.30
2. Mystery- 7.24
3. Drama- 7.20
4. Avant Garde- 7.13
5. Gag Humor- 7.13

Seems about right. Scifi and psychological just barely missed the top 5, which those were the two I was expecting to see besides drama.
I’ve spent the most time watching comedies, also not shocking.
This was fun!

5. Space - 6.75

Checks out. Unweighted is pretty useless, Mahou Shoujo is 2nd entirely because of Madoka.
