For me:
Ecchi/Harem/Hentai: Neon Genesis Evangelion (tagged as such in some manga websites), Grisaia and Sora no Otoshimono.
GL: Adachi to Samamura
BL: Seven Days , Koimonogatari, Shimanami Tasogare.
Sports: Diamond no Ace, Ping Pong and Haikyuu!!
R everse Harem: Akatsuki no Yona (Hak is great!) and Bakarina.

I don’t hate mecha, but just don’t like it that much.
My top 3 are probably Gurren lagann, Eva, and 86.

I don't exactly hate ecchi/harem stuff but find it kind of pointless most of the time, with the exception of Monogatari Series which is actually pretty well-written and directed. That's the first thing that comes to mind for me. That show is just so stylish yet trashy at the same time, and the characters are great.

Not a GL or Sports anime guy usually but Birdie Wing is top tier, one of my favorites from last year.
Generally not a fan of the CGDCT genre but I absolutely love Nichijou, it's great.

3-Gatsu no Lion is tagged Iyashikei by MyAnimeList, although I slightly disagree with this naming. Well, I don't like the Iyashikei genre in general at all, so I believe that counts as an example, since the work is in my TOP 10.

Sora Yori mo Tooi Basho might fit the same criteria. It is a work tagged as CGDCT, whose name I disagree with. I hate this subgenre, so it fits as an example here, being my favorite despite disagreement.

In the case of Ecchi and Harem, two other genres that I definitely don't like, my favorites would be, respectively, Prison School and Nisekoi. I quite like these two.

Ecchi: Maybe Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt, Kill la Kill (I started it like two years ago but didn't finish it, but I like it), Darling in the Franxx

Harem: Steins;Gate feels like a harem at least, I know it's not tagged as such

Sports: Yuri on Ice, who would have thought. Also Skate, Tsurune and Welcome to the Ballroom

I wouldn't say that I "hate" any of these genres as I don't hate or even dislike per se entire genres as a whole, but more that I'm well acquainted with my own interests and tastes by now and these are easily the ones comparatively to the others which offer the least amount of series proportionally that I'm interested in watching.

Ecchi - Kodomo no Jikan first and foremost as it's a Top 25er for me. After that, No Game No Life and Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation.

Harem - Without checking back over the entirety of my list right now, I don't have any that I consider and rated anything higher than a 6/10, but the closest would be something like Onegai Twins. There are a number of series I consider undesignated "stealth harem" though, such as Goblin Slayer, Steins;Gate, etc. which I vastly prefer and rate higher. It's more like in these the romantic or sexual aspect of the harem dynamic isn't focused on over other aspects of the plot, but a harem-style dynamic exists nonetheless. 

Hentai - Kodomo no Jikan (the coincidentally identically named but completely unrelated to the TV series OVA one)

Sports - Hanebado!, followed by Ping Pong the Animation

Comedy - This is the most difficult one to identify because I feel as if the Comedy genre tag is overused and misused in being applied to a lot of series which aren't primarily comedies or even the second or third genre in focus, and I wouldn't want to choose those as they don't seem representative of genuine exclusive comedies or predominant comedies. Maybe also No Game No Life as a comedy? I would consider that one almost equal parts Ecchi + Comedy + Fantasy. The series I actually found funniest though, even though I really don't look at it as a comedy as a whole, is Flying Witch, for its very subdued humor.

Not a massive magical girl fan. Not sure why, it just not a genre that I can get overly into. 

Madoka Kaname Madoka Magica GIF - Madoka Kaname Madoka Magica Pmmm ...

However Madoka Magica is one of my favourite shows, and I actually like all the Madoka stuff I've seen. 
Sometimes it takes a real man to be best girl. Gilgamesh is also chad.

I'm not really into music anime, but Bocchi was amazingly good. However, I must admit that it does not focus too much on the musical aspect of the show. I mean, it kind of does, but it's more of a comedy

There's no deeper meaning or reason as to why I'm not a fan of the genre. I just don't find the concept of large pilotable robots fighting all that appealing.
I love Gurren Lagann, Evangelion and Full Metal Panic but with those I love them not because of the mecha aspect, but more for the ideas, characters and other messages that are present within. The mecha aspect is just window dressing for me.

Ah ok then. Most people have issues with mecha because of their internalized hatred and racism against the Japanese thinking that mecha is "outdated" and "pandering/too much fanservice" while having shitshows like Berserk and Ginga Eiyuu Densetsu and Fate Series in their favorites that pander to Neo-nazis through thin-veiled manners (e.g. "superioty of a certain race/gender/ideology.) Pretty dumb if you ask me. 

It's good to know that you don't hold any grudges against our beloved asian-nipponic shows and animes.

Say, do you or anyone else in this tread, like TokuSato?

If Banana Fish can be considered BL, then it's that.

Gonna be Re:Zero, it’s the only one of its genre that I manage to finish after all (and go past the first episode for that matter). It’s not really my favorite but I think it’s pretty decent.

Hate is a bit too strong of a word for my feelings towards some of these genres, but more like it's hard for me to find good anime/manga from among them- 

Ecchi: Food Wars
Harem: The World God Only Knows
Reverse Harem: Yona of the Dawn, Ouran High School Host Club, Romantic Killer
BL: Given, Sasaki to Miyano (kind of)
GL: SQ: Begin W/ Your Name

Ecchi: On going through my list that's my highest rated ecchi Sankarea and that's because it's horror

BL: Uraboku, I wouldn't have hated the genre as much as I do if more BL relationships were as sweet as Luka x Yuki (just a personal preference, I know it's kinda tropey)

Isekai: Juuni Kokuki, I've yet to come across an isekai that's better written than this one

Have a hard time getting into Sports anime, but I did watch and enjoy Free quite a bit, though admittedly, I started for the fanservice, lol.
