I can understand straight guys not wanting to watch free!, as I understand as I refuse to watch numerous shows for the same reason, but for girls instead

If I was to answer this question I'd probably give up on the medium before watching any more of the Monogatari franchise after that first arc with Mayoi turned me the fuck off. And that goes for anything that banks too much on stylistic resemblances to it (Mekakucity Actors, Nisekoi, etc), though I guess if If I'm going to say that then the answer extends to the rest of my drop list. As for things I've never given a chance? Idk. Normally try to give any existing multi-media franchises a shot even if they don't seem like my thing.

For Samurai Champloo, it's just about girl who convinces two rival swordsmen to accompany on a journey to find a man she once knew that happens to smell like sunflowers. Nothing much else to remember set-up wise. Tempest though is a weird as fuck.

I get what you mean, as I too tend to avoid the 'moe girl' shows, the one exception being K-On which is on my to watch list only because a close friend recced it and told me it wasn't creepy/panty shot-y so I am going to give it a try on that basis

They either look boring or unappealing for many reasons. Except for Chibli, I just don't want to watch them, I can't even pinpoint why.

Cowboy Bebop (episodic, space, seems to pander to westerns and I dislike that, the main character's afro, etc)

LOGH ( Long, space opera, the protagonist seems like a stuck up dick, I read that there is a religon cult sup plot, was spoiled about a character's death, etc)

Mushishi ( Episodic, seems slow and repetitive as hell, the premise is not interesting in the slightest, the protagonist seem like a robot with no personality, the art and character design is not to my liking, seems like a mood anime, etc)

Mecha is not my thing in general.

Kino's journey (the character design, art, most of the other reasons as Mushishi, and I have watched a review in it, and knew for sure I wouldn't enjoy it or care for it)

Psychoo Pass and Ghost in Shell (Techno babble, I don't like that type of sci fi)

I should also Add Aria to those.

1. Cowboy Bebop.

Seems like episodic garbage to me.


2. Stardust Crusaders.

Same reason

3. The rest of One Piece

4. Gintama,

People say it's hilarious, but they also say it's "cultural-based comedy with lots of references"

Knowing Japan's culture-inegrated comedy, which sucks ass, and lacks any hint of wit, I elect to avoid it.

-Anything with more than 50 episodes that isn't divided up into succinct seasons, except LOGH and FMA which I'll probably watch when I'm 50.

-Anything that looks grimderp

EDIT: Oh and Grisaia taught me a grotesque lesson about Visual Novel adaptations. "It can't possibly be that bad", I thought.

EDIT 2: Shounen is also a deterrent, as they're usually extremely repetitive, predictable and creatively bankrupt with an immature underlying concept, but there are exceptions.

Though I guess you could say I'm avoiding One Piece in the sense that I'd like to one day have seen all anime in the top 100 ratings or so but no way in fuck am I watching something that long :s

I'm avoiding way too many things right now. I need to get into the right mindset to watch any show, else I'd just end up constantly trying to find flaws to excuse myself from watching. I'll end up watching everything I plan to watch, but it'll just take a really, really long time.

In general though, I tend to like shows that are quiet and humble, so tend to be wary of shows that are touted to have aesthetic appeal, intense dramatic scenes, or adrenaline-pumping content. I'd first compliment a show for making use of a long silent scene than anything involving action, comedy, or serious drama.

While that's true, the parts themselves are pretty long (I got stuck at part 3) and the series never really caught my attention.

Just start with the great OVA's for Gundam (08th ms team, WitP) and JoJo's isn't hard to get into.
So I could just watch war in the pocket without any prior knowledge of the series?

I don't hate moe. Just based on my experience so far I can't enjoy anime with all girls mc. I tried watching aria, madoka, widows, railgun etc. and none were enjoyable for me.
Still im planning to watch Nichijou cuz I heard it's better than my fave nichibros.

Ah, fair enough. The series doesn't really change in tone, until Part 7, where it becomes more serious and focus on the plot more than the others from what I read.
