Personally, romance is my favorite. I like intimacy and idealism. While often childish, it's basically a proxy for happiness. And romance is something irrational, something you engage in for the sake of engaging in it, so I like seeing that happen a lot, be it in fiction or in real life. Most romance anime are pretty much the same, but I like seeing it happen over and over again. Comedy is the most engaging genre and humor is my preferred way to deal with my intrextricable problems in real life, so these are my top two. I also used to dislike ecchi and fanservice when I was a teenager, but I've come to appreciate it as I've gotten older. I don't know, it's just cool for them to think of the viewer a little bit.
On paper, mystery sounds like it would be my favorite since occult, religion and conspiracies are my favorite things, but it's just very hard to pull it off. After good sci-fi, it is undoubtedly the hardest genre to write since it so heavily relies on subjective experience.
Sci-fi is not my favorite, but I like how the genre offers the most opportunity for your story to be thematically intricately woven. It is the genre that allows the highest possibility to express your ideas on how to change the world. Otherwise, I dislike melodrama, mecha, slice-of-life, and iyashikei. I do have autism and I'm inferring that my emotional range isn't wide enough to be able to enjoy the stylistic elements of SoL genres when they're distilled. Melodrama's strongest weapon is empathy, and I can't say that's my cup of tea. I also don't like stories whose appeal hugely relies on the viewer building bonds with the characters and therefore dilute the writing quality in that way. Such as Gintama, HxH etc. It appeals to a lot of people, but personally not what I prefer. It's hard to write S tier comedy like for each of the 400 episodes when comedy is something hard to incorporate into fiction, for example. Why I dislike mecha is because it's simply raw action. I like character driven works, which I assume is also the reason why I don't like playing video games a lot. I also hate stories that border on realism. I simply hate that shit. I don't care about it. I wouldn't be watching anime if I wanted realism.
