Do you feel like you've outgrown a certain kind of genre?
| Just so you know, these are my thoughts. You have your own. Just thought I'd start a discussion about possible reasons for these thoughts for example. I used to watch shounen, drama, action etc anime about a decade ago. Even more perhaps these past few years. Been checking a few here and there. But nowadays, it feels too dumb and predictable. Sure, my favorites can be predictable as well but you know what I mean. Drama makes everything so cringe. Action is too predictable and shounen is just the typical fight, lose, win, grow etc crap. 12 episode series for example, is too predictable. If they'd continue, without season 2 etc, 24 or more episodes, it might be a different thought there. FYI I know the major reason for 12 eps long seasons instead of adapting an entire series. As I've "outgrown" those kind of genres. Action, shounen, drama etc doesn't click with me anymore. Why is that happening? Comedy has only kept me going in the anime series. Which makes me grateful for many different types, be it isekai, fantasy, comedy etc. Has anyone else, obviously, serious kind of anime watcher, felt like he/she'd outgrown certain types of genre? Fyi, I don't care about many genres. I'll post my favorites, with some kind of reason is in this spoiler so not to make this post too long. |

| Definitely yes, for example battle shonen and romance (unless it's yuri). |
 |
| I've outgrown battle shonen but i will always stick to battle ecchi and never let it go. |
| Most kodomo anime like Pokemon, but there still are a few entertaining ones. |

| @tchitchouan My kind of man, any recommendations which I've yet to see? Preferably, uncensored, since todays god damn cowards of studios need to censor everything. |

| I outgrew most shoujo when I started viewing all the stories in a similar light. I am a guy so it is not that surprising. Kind of funny how shoujo confirmed my blackpilled takes. Lol |

| Absolutely not. I watch anime to have fun, period. And dumb action shows are my bread and butter. I can give up ecchi any time I want, but the day I stop watching those is the day I quit anime all together. |
| yeah , i absolutely hate isekai with all my heart |

| i started my anime hobby watching battle shonen like dragon ball and yu yu hakusho and still love battle shonens after 30 years |
| No, I still enjoy all kinds of anime. Depending on my mood, I might even prefer something kind of dumb and silly, as long as I can have fun watching it. |
 |
| Nope, never grew out of any genre, but I'm not gonna say I can watch whatever because I obviously avoid certain genres (for various reasons) so I just chose the no option. |

| @tchitchouan Ah I've seen the latest releases so guess I'd stick to the older ones I've yet to see. Thanks for the "stacks" link. @Serafos Oooh yuri is a lovely genre which is underrated since they focus mostly on yaoi nowadays. At least in the manga section. |

| I can watch the same story over and over as long as I like the art style and at least one character. Unless it's isekai/fantasy with an overpowered MC and no world building. |

| Outgrown? I don't think it's necessary. What matters is expanding your horizons; I'm ok with finding something good or bad in every genre. I like some "trash anime you should outgrow" and I dislike some others, I like some "mature anime for an adult audience" and I dislike some others, I like some popular anime and I dislike some others, I like some unpopular anime and I dislike some others, and so on. |
