| "Idols (Male)" seems to be the one I avoid the most. But I'm not really picky overall. |
| I can watch and enjoy every genre except yuri and yaoi |
 |
| Lots. Idols, sports and battle shounen and way too many others to mention. it'd be easier to list the genres I actually gravitate towards tbh. |
 |
| Only isekai... And these silly isekai anime based on games.. And the dumb novels of isekai.. |
 |
fillings said: I'll also avoid silly battle shounen generallyfor me personally i usually avoid mecha sports anime i tend to avoid too |
 |
| Sports, always sports. It's just not for me. Extreme Hearts got a pass because of the idol aspect of the show, but otherwise, I just... can't do sports anime. And also pure comedy without any elements of romance or drama in it (at least usually, I think KonoSuba is my only exception to this so far). |
  I'm me! The choices I've made are mine! I don't need your permission to be myself! ✧✧✧✧✧✧ profile ✧ watching ✧ reading ✧ art credit |
| I don't avoid any genre/theme. (30 characters limit) |
| i'm open to everything except boys love. not my thing. |
 The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama. Feeling half happy, half sad. Kawaii waifus and precious best girls <3333 |
| I generally avoid watching sports anime. If I'm not interested in watching real sports, why would I be interested in watching fictional characters play sports? |
| I avoid Idol shows (Don't know why, I don't say they're bad since I have never watched one but somehow don't appeal to me at all) and Yaoi because I am a hipocritical bastard since I like Yuri and their romance stories are usually fire. I avoid Gore if it is too graphic because I cannot tolerate it. |
 |
| I'll watch anything and everything ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I never found mecha appealing yet Code Geass remains the only 10 on my list. Not to mention 86 was one of my favorite recent anime. Battle shounen, sports, slice of life, isekai, comedy, romance, yuri, yaoi and everything in between idc I try to be open to whatever. Except relationships between minors and adults. Why is that even a thing? |
 |
| For me, it's usually less about genres and themes and more about certain "red flags". Like romance shows that scream to make me feel uncomfortable, "ingame worlds", very generic fantasy and post-apocalyptic settings. And while I'm always skeptical with Romance, Harem and Ecchi Tags, there are shows like Hamefura or Shikimori that remind me not to judge a book by it's cover. |
| Yaoi/BL, just not interested in it. |

I will pretty much consume anything these days unless it's "contemporary" Hentai. When I say "contemporary" I pretty much mean anything released after the turn of the century. It might be hard for Modern and new Anime fans to believe this but there was a time when Anime that has been tagged as Hentai years after it's original run was released before the year 2000 use to just be Rated-R OVAs or Movies with actual stories to them in the 80s and 90s. Some of these titles could have had the actual sexual content cut out and it would have ended up being like an average action OVA or movie. They just happen to have enough graphic sexual content in them for someone to subjectively tag them as Hentai even if the content might have been barely even that graphic. Just to name a few were titles like "Urotsukidoji", "Weather Report Girl", "Kite", "Guy: Double Target", etc.. These days "contemporary" Hentai is nothing more than just Porn for Virgin Otakus to masturbate to. Randomly just going by some of the Synopsis of most Hentai released these days one doesn't even need to actually watch them to know it's nothing more than a collage of continuous extremely graphic animated sex scenes, sometimes with no actual real story that would be barely clinging on to them if there was a story to begin with. |

| There are none I avoid, but there are some I'm less keen on than others, which I would say is natural and expected for almost anyone (to have preferences and favor certain things over others). At least for me it's just as true in anime as in all other mediums like live action cinema and TV, and music. In anime, my least favorite genres are definitely comedy, sports, ecchi, harem, and hentai. As I already said above, that doesn't mean I recoil in fear and disgust at the sight of them and avoid them wholesale, but just that they're my least favorite and I will be less likely on average to pick a series where they are one of the genres - especially if they're the sole or primary genre - and, if I do select it to watch, probably less likely to enjoy and have a favorable opinion of it compared to series of other genres. Since I'm aware of this preference in advance, it's also the case that a series with one of these as a genre will have to do a bit more work somehow in its synopsis to entice me to watch. It must generally just have an otherwise very appealing hook as the premise. For comedy it's because I have my own specific weird sense of humor and I don't really find scripted comedies ever actually funny in 99.999%+ of cases either in anime or anything else. I don't mind the existence of comedy as one of the supporting/subgenres though or just interspersed in random bits or a subdued role in an otherwise serious story with a different focus though, as banter, for comedic relief and levity's sake, more as something cute or a mechanism of endearment to forge relationships and demonstrate character writing and dynamics than to be actually literally laugh out loud humorous to me on a personal level in lieu of the existence of an actual main plot. For sports it's because I have next to no interest in sports in the 3D world with very minor exceptions so it's not something I'm generally interested in watching in anime form unless it is covering some of the more niche and lesser known sports I'm either more interested in than the big ones (like badminton as an example) and in some cases actually played myself, or will give me an opportunity to learn about some more off the radar sports or issues in sports. For ecchi and harem, the reason is in essence the same which is that they're generally romantic comedies or sex comedies, but they're neither funny to me nor sexually exciting or inviting and just seem frivolous in a tedious way. I'm fine with them if they are fused with other genres which help carry the writing, weight, emotion, and atmosphere of the world, characters, and story, like drama and romance (for example - Kodomo no Jikan), but not typically just by themselves or with comedy only, unless they have some really unique conceit which makes watching them offer something new (for example - Ishuzoku Reviewers) For hentai, I'm just not a big watcher and consumer of pornography either animated or live action. I've seen exactly one hentai anime I really cared for and still do. And most of other people's fantasies which it's flooded with are just ones which hold zero personal appeal for me. I would describe them in a way as...too vanilla? Even when they're ostensibly not. Most animated hentai (porn) just comes off the same as its live action counterpart to me, which is cheesy, overwrought, and over-produced even when/where it's technically not. It doesn't feel authentic. A lot of anime hentai seems, just from a superficial, surface level view of skimming through it from an outside perspective, to cater more to the mainstream tastes which don't usually align with my own. Maybe in manga it's different, but manga isn't something I usually read. I connect even moreso with animated characters than live actors and actresses playing roles, so this is just as much a problem for me if not moreso in the animeverse. Except not really a "problem" as I just don't watch most of it as a result and don't miss it. |

| idols, BL and GL. just not into that. |
 |
| There is a lot of stuff that I don’t watch Male idols Bl Sports Isekai that seem generic |
  |
| Well I guess it depends on the anime but I usually try and stay away from comedy animes. If the anime is actually really funny then I'll watch it ofc, but a lot of comedy animes have a different sense of humor from me |
| Avoid all anime with straight sex because it is impure. |

| I used to avoid sportshows before with a few exceptions, but now I watch quite a bit of sportshows since they come out with new sports that gets me curious. I generally avoid mecha, but there have been exceptions. |
| I mean, I guess any genre might be cool, just personally kind of watch the stuff that seems interesting. I guess as far as genres I avoid: Harem or Isekai, these two genre are usually quite lazy and boring. Although even these two genres can be interesting, they just usually are not. |

| In general, i try to watch anything, there's not much i won't try. Except Mecha, i have no idea why but there's just something about mecha that makes me not want to watch it. |
| My waifu is the most wonderful waifu. Mai Valentine. 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 |
| Mainly BL and a lot of Mecha shows because they don't interest me. |
| sports and anime where the main genre is comedy |
| Personally not a fan of horror and mystery. And yaoi of course, wouldn't watch that at any cost. |
 |
| u will never see me watching mecha or sports anime lol. i mean there are a couple exceptions but otherwise i try to entirely avoid them |
| Ecchi/Harem is the obvious answer. Also yuri/GL is just not my thing, though I will read it if it intrigues me or has no sex. |
| ryo asukas rebound boyfriend & megane enthusiast |
| I'm open to any genre except these ones: Yuri, Yaoi, Isekai, Battle Shounen. |
 |
| I watch everything except spokon, I'd play football/soccer irl instead. |
 |
| BL, Ecchi, school romantic comedy and Isekai. |
        |
| School, Harem, Yaoi, Battle shounen, sports, CGDCT That's the list off the top of my head. |
| Battle shounen, BL, GL, modern isekai, ecchi, harem. |
| Ones I avoid: Yaoi, Idols (male) Ones I am uninterested in / tend to avoid but am still open to watching: Yuri, Mecha, Sports, Isekai, Harem Aside from that I'll just watch whatever. |
 |
| 1. COMEDY (My humour is too weird for boomer comedy that most comedy anime shows have) 2.ROMANCE (Cringe) 3. SLICE OF LIFE ( Mostly boring ash . I dont like "cute girls doing cute things") |
 |
| 1. CGDCT (weird but looking forward to watch "sora yori" and BTR) 2. Harem 3. Ecchi 4. Isekai 5. Sports 6. Battle Shounen 7. Mecha and similar Sci-fi |
   𝓢𝓪𝓴𝓾𝓻𝓪 𝓚𝓲𝓷𝓸𝓶𝓸𝓽𝓸 |
| Heterosexual romance harems or anything like that I avoid most anime with male characters Lol IMO there is nothing more annoying on this earth than an anime male. So I often avoid them The characters' sex is a much more important aspect for me when It comes to what I watch and what I don't watch I like cute anime girls. And I want all of them to be lesbians,,,YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES  |
 |
| Usually Avant Garde, Harem, and Boys Love. |
