i remember someone on reddit did a statistic analysis and highest rated were thriller, josei
and lowest rated was Music, Dementia because there are a shitton of shorts in these genres which usually get low ratings
sadly its not easy to find again

nope, seems like a great idea but in reality it would take too much time and effort to do, since a show on here usually has 3+ genres and there are over 30,000 shows, sooo

Stop obsessing over genres. If the anime is good, then it is good.


LOL you are exactly right, if it's not anime then it's meaningless.

most of the ids are actually dead links
whenever someone fills this form http://myanimelist.net/panel.php?go=anime_series&do=add
a new anime id is created, but most anime added by this are rejected
there are only like 15k actual entries on MAL, out of 40k+ ids
besides, with the power of automation, it isn't *that* hard to write a script that extracts and calculates this info

those genres are used on MAL to solely describe hentai
contrary to some popular usage of the words

Yea like Isekai quartet and all those participating in it, cause they are all characters that were sent into "another world"

You have already watched a few shows so you know what appeals to you. MAL mean scores aren't always an indicator of quality and just because a genre has a high mean score doesn't mean that it fits your taste.

I love thrillers, an example being Kaiji. I've watched countless mystery anime and manga, despite the genre not being my favorite. Example being Detective Conan. Psychology is a genre that I feel anyone can enjoy as long as they like philosophical mumbo jumbo. And I really try to avoid action shows these days so the military genre is boring to me.

What's your least favorite genre?
