OR anime with too many female characters, if your romantic interest is males.

Can you clarify what do you mean with "SHIT"? Bad design? Generic? Or something else.

Quality-wise probably not, but I wouldn't really want to watch a sausage fest either. Diversity is preferable.

I guess, if your only goal in watching anime is to be sexually aroused?

There are many amazing animes with “too many” males. I think it's a stupid reason to hate somehing, or to call it shit. Examples are Hunter x Hunter, Haikyuu or JoJo's Bizarre Adventure.

I mean like Grand Blue. I dropped it and gave it my very first 3 because it had too many asinine males. It was the biggest bait I've ever taken. Fapservice.com completely misrepresented it.

From a romantic interest, it depends on how many females there are. Working! has quite a lot of males but it also has a relatively same amount of females and multiple couples within the series

I think if a story tries to push too many romances on the mc it is often not done well at all like for SAO. Yona of the Dawn actually does this well, but that is due to having 1 center romance focus while the other mcs were good support characters.

This is actually a pretty interesting question. For me, most of the anime I watch are predominantly male characters... and I typically avoid anime with a lot of females. On the other hand, if the female is badass (i.e Revy) or doesn't portray the stereotypical "girly" references then I'll watch it

Only if you think that same sex series automatically makes every character gay.
All woman or all male, as long as the characters are good and the story is good, the series is good. It's as simple as that.

I don't watch anime for males acting disgusting. I watch anime for females acting disgusting.

I checked your profile, it makes sense.

Watch what you like then. If you like ecchi, hentai, that much and can't stand anything else, it's your decision. I won't stop you.

Just that your "debate" is base on pretty stupid premises that it's hard to make a constructive rebuttal about it, so all I can say is you do you.

You should know that most people won't approve your approach to anime, so why even bother with shoving it in our face ?

Not for most people I guess as they watch all kind of genre.
May be it's true for some other people who stick to their rules.

I see the opposite all the time. Some of the worst anime ever made are filled with generic, unlikeable female characters.

I do tend to enjoy shows with female MCs more but this is ridiculous.

No, because I don’t think with my private parts and I don’t give a shit if an anime has an unbalanced gender cast (as long as its not from a genre I dislike/hate)

Nop IMO, just with a couple of girls is enough. A nice example of this is daily lives of high school boys.

If it's gay, then it's shit. If not, and there are some cute girls, then I'm fine with it. In fact, the more "best friend" male characters like Sunohara from Clannad, the better.

I do enjoy female-oriented anime more. But.. Jojo, Hunter x Hunter and Haikyuu are some of my favorite anime ever. I don't have a problem with all male casts.

Eh. It's more about how you write your cast. Manly anime can be great. When it carries over to yaoi, that might be an issue. Manly is fine by me, though.

Not every anime needs a romance plot, but many anime DO need better writing and characterisation.

Yeah, if it's done on purpose to focus on the romantic preference of the target audience. Basically, when it's just the copy-paste cast with no substance to it.

No, but many of your thread topics are.

A show having a male main cast doesn't make it "shit" just because I like females.
Thinking that a show is somehow inferior just because it's outside of my preferences is about as pointless as thread topics like this.
