| No particular gender preferences. The MC must be somehow interesting ...not necessary relatable. For example Youjo Senki's MC is a crazy misanthropic bureaucrat stuck in a little girl's body. Can't relate to any of those. Still fun to watch them making a big mess in the alternative historical setting. |
| Females. I dont like anime males. Every time they are around they create so many problems. Running around screaming misbehaving and trying to hump MY cute little angels! That shit doesn't fly with me My girls are nicer calmer. I often like their personality much better.But most importantly they are so damn cute. I think females are more aesthetically pleasing to look at Anime males on the other hand are Imo unattractive beings and for me they destroy the aesthetic value of the anime . A minor support role if the keep in the background can work in rare occasions But I prefer only cute girls because I often enjoys those the most . And I love Yuri and shows with females only are often full of lesbian sweetness. And noting are more beautiful then lesbian kissing,,YEEEEEEEEEEES! It rocks my world and I cant get enough of it. Yuri is life Yuri is pure and Yuri makes my heart tick Then it also depends on what I want to watch. Sometimes Im in the mood for a battle shounen or something else and then I dont care to much.But its rare that I travel outside my kingdom of pretty anime girls =P  |

| I prefer watching anime with a lot of guys or at least 1 guy as MC at least especially hot guys since I love them. |

| It boils down to personality. I'd watch Usagi over Kirito, but I'd watch Conan over Usagi. And although I'd watch Conan over Usagi, but I'd watch Honoka over Conan (although I'd watch Honoka over anyone to be quite honest). So yeah |

| I definitely prefer male leads. Female lead anime is usually romantic in nature and I'm not a fan of the romance or very slice of life (also not a fan) and I tend to find female leads fit certain tropes that I dislike in a female specific character. (Overly cute, peppy and young, overtly sexual, very innocent to the point of being annoying. ) Of course there are a lot of exceptions for female lead like Moribito, Excel Saga, Air Master, Claymore but they are still minor in comparison to the plethora of popular shojo stuff. I'm female |
 |
| I also don't really care... But I'm just going to say female cause I enjoy a good series with a well made Female Character - there are too little Female MCs out there and there should be a lot more. Especially in Genres like Action, Horror, Sci-fi, Isekai etc. I would LOVE to see more female MCs in Genres/Series where Romance isn't the Main Genre. And if they are a Main Character (with a male main Focus) they're often reduced to certain stereotypes or just there for ecchi scenes/romance the MC/help him out. Rarely do they have their own story. |

| I tend to watch more anime with male leads but I too have seen my fair share of female anime leads. Well most CGDCT anime |

| I'd say female leads, although, like male leads, i feel that they can just be reskins of the same character traits. Though when a female lead is done well, it can really connect with me even more than male characters sometimes. |
  |
| Indifference premise is what matters to me most in terms of picking up a title. |
| If the lead character is actually done well then I don't really care. |
| As long as there is intense intercourse, I don't really care. |
 |
| I don't think I have a preference, but a good amount of the anime in my list has male leads. |
 just wanna feel wanted by someone other than the police 😫 |
| I prefer male leads, rarely I like female leads. I don’t know why, honestly. Probably, it’s a mere preference. |
 |
| I dont really care, i guess i just like both ^^ |
| For me, it doesn't matter. As long as the story and characters are good, I'm more than happy. I watched all kinds of anime and there're very good female lead anime out there. Probably the main reasons for the dominance of male lead anime is the fact that most authors are male and is far easier to write stories and characters you can relate to and you know their way of thinking. For the most part, one of the biggest difference between male and female is psychologically, so it makes it hard for a male writer to create believable female characters not knowing how they're suppose to think in the context of his story. |
| Male lead I almost dont watch anime with female lead |
| Don't fuck up the present, it's connected to your future! |
| I don't really care but it would be nice to see more anime with a female lead |
SinOfSlothKing said: derflorian said: SO u don't care.....but u do care enough to see a change? Seems contradictory.I don't really care but it would be nice to see more anime with a female lead What I wanted to say is that I enjoy both, male and female leads but I would like it to see more female leads. |
| I prefer both; since the only thing I care about when it comes to a protagonist is that they're a likable/interesting characters with a good enough backstory. |
Daft Punk is love, Daft Punk is life  |
| A considerable portion of my favorites either have a female protagonist or have somewhat balanced leads. It helps I don't watch battle shounen, any seasonal isekai or pretty much any highschool romcom/ecchi/harem aimed at adolescents. So I can't relate at all with the "most are male / female protagonists are very rare". "Watch better anime" can be applied here. |
 |
| I don't really care which gender, as long as the character is actually good I'm fine with any. |
| "I am guessing that u just said that because people around u said it to and because of that u think that its something that should happen under the justification that many people belive it" Stop making random assumptions about me. " Look at LOTR. Mostly male characters and its a Masterpiece." What do you want to tell me with that answer? There are many shows with mostly male characters that are masterpieces but did I say something about that? No. I said I would like to see more female leads that doesn't mean that I think that shows with only men are trash. One of my favourite anime is LotGH nearly the whole cast is male, so yeah "If u want something different, its not the sex of the character that needs to change, but the writing quality." I dont even know how you can make so many random assumptions based on one simple sentence But I don't want to make big discussion here so yeah |
| I like female leads that can kick my ass. |
 |
| Males. the only reason being, if there's a female lead I will have to watch a reverse harem situation. if that's not the case, I don't have a real preference. |
| 馬鹿げた倫理 全部ガラクタで |
| I'm generally more appealed by female leads, first because I'm a girl and probably unconsciously relate to the character on that level (yes I know, that's dumb), but also because from what I've seen, female leads generally are more diversified and memorable than male ones. They can be tsundere, kuudere, deredere or simply not any dere type, while the male lead is most of the time whether an hyperactive character, a cynical one or one who doesn't have any personality. So I don't purposely chose anime with female leads over male ones, but I noticed I've been unconsciously doing it (though I still watch a lot of shows with male leads). But of course I'm generalizing, there are still a lot of exceptions, fortunately. |
 |
| Mostly Male Leads for shounen, while I don’t mind which gender for seinen (more mature topics). |
| Actually, ideally I would prefer there to be both co-equal male and female leads, and would prefer if they were the only two main characters or alongside 1 - 3 more since I prefer smaller, more intimate, and tighter knit casts of characters, but there seem to be surprisingly less that I've seen than I would have initially thought where both a male and female main character are featured and given equal screentime/importance. This is why a series like Inuyasha is absolutely optimal for me in that regard. |
