Idk, I'm bored.

I'm only including the genres listed by MAL, and I ain't including themes.

clearly romance, the way some creators invent the dumbest scenarios for a romance is incredible. Just imagine, who the hell goes clothes shopping when you are on a date for the first time with a girl? Why would you do that, what even is the purpose?

Now think of that, but a lot more rapey and unrealistic, then you get Boys Love.

Ecchi because to everyone that's not turned on by it ecchi is the cringiest thing ever. You get embarrassed on behalf of the animators! You feel dumber for having watched it. Bad ecchi is ultra-cringe.

Comedy probably second because really unfunny comedy can easily give you that "oh god what were they thinking noooooo" feeling that characterizes cringe.

Romance. A lot of the romance is just weird, like it's written by a computer who's never had romance in their life.

We're freaking out that we're running out of time, but to do what? Should i stop and think of that? Is there something i could do to slow it down? Live in a day for once, instead of watch it sprinting by

I consider cringe something that is both unrealistic and less interesting than reality. Most romance anime perfectly fit the description. Unfunny, exaggerated comedy comes second.

Boys Love isn't any better. It feels like "we're already filling a niche, there's no need to deviate from the most basic tropes".

Action does when it's combined with the shounen demographic.
Romance is second.

Award winning. Don't care for half of them and they have cringelord fans. Jojo being the worst.




Also I'm shocked bl wasn't the highest since lots of people here hate gay people. At least guys. Lol

I was thinking of "popular" anime. Having a tag for just 8 anime only is dumb.

It's wrong to do that? I think shopping as a part of a date plan is fine.. (don't know how the other party would feel about it since I'm inexperienced ๐Ÿ‘€)

- NOT your usual shounen anime
- Pure comedy? DEAD WRONG
- Treat Gintama as SoL/weekly sitcom especially earlier seasons
- Ep 1 & 2 are for manga readers
- BIG patience for its 'slow' start

well, in the anime I saw they went clothes shopping on their first date, they barely knew each other, I found it weird. But of course, it's ok when you are already together

Eh, why not? As long as both are comfortable with their bodies (which is a lot less common than you'd think, even with very fit and well-shaped people), going clothes shopping together is a great date concept :)
You get to be silly together, trying on all sorts of dumb, ridiculous things and laughing about it, you get to give out compliments without it sounding creepy, it's very interactive unlike some other, boring date ideas where you just sit next to each other in silence (like movies) but you have little breather moments to collect yourself while the other person is changing, so it isn't full-on conversation the entire time either. If you like giving gifts, this is also a good opportunity that saves you the trouble of having to think of something, because you can just say "hey, I'll pay for that shirt you really liked" or whatever.
Also it happens during the day and in public, which means it's a very "safe" location where you/your date don't have to worry half of the time if they'll get abducted and never seen again, which helps with being more relaxed and open.
And if you do wanna get a bit physical or flash some tame nudity at your date, a setting in which you have to take your clothes off lends itsself to it naturally.
Oh, also, because you can't dress up super fancy since the clothes have to be easy to change out of, it has a much more casual atmosphere, so it's fine to just go to a food court or something afterwards instead of some super fancy restaurant, which is better for your finances too ;)

Personally, I hate clothes shopping with a vengeance, but there are a lot of factors that make it a pretty fun date activity! Just keep in mind that the point is to have fun together, not to actually find good clothes.

Well,Award winning tag is actually helpful for manga section because there are 429 award winning manga but yeah it is pretty much useless for anime section because there are only 8 and 7 of them are shorts.

I voted for nothing cause Ibusually never cringe at anime but just how is romance the cringiest genre? Haven't you seen Skelter Heaven and some of the lowest rated animes? They're super cringe and I don"t understand what even is the point of this.

Mod Edit: Removed baiting.

Basically any genre can be cringe if written badly, especially comedy.

But do you know what's cringier than a badly written comedy?
A badly written drama.

noo, nah i think ecchi is more crngy, romance can be, but if its ecchi, its just 90% bound to happen at some point, romance is less in that deprtment i'd say
