| oh yeah i remembered i refuse to watch Highschool DxD and the Monogatari Series i watched 6 eps of bakemonogatari and almost burned my eyes because of the horrendous camera angle switches xergiokw said: Code Geass. I've been told to watch it so many times that I started to hate it even before the first try. When I finally tried I could not stand it for more than 5 minutes because of the art. thats a shame, i think we have fairly similar taste but no point in watching it if you hate the art, i had the same issue with guren lagann and a couple of other anime it just kills the enjoyment |

I am actually about to tackle the beast known as Saint Seiya. Wish me luck. |

Daphi said: oh i started watching it yesterday only 3 eps in so far but its actually hilarious, the MC can be such a savage the dialogue was really fun in ep 2 and 3 I watched the first 12 or so episodes of Saint Seiya 10 years ago and I recall enjoying it. I kinda put it on hold for reasons I no longer recall and it sorta ended up rotting in my backlog for a decade lol. I just finished D.Gray-man which is another lengthy anime that has been on my backlog for just as long. But yeah I'm looking forward to properly starting Saint Seiya next. |

 |
| Eromanga, Oreimo, basically any show where the whole point is wanting to fuck your sister. That's just fucked up |
| There are shows I've watched that I has helped me decide what type of shows I'm not interested in. Basically, just any show with too much fanservice. Whether it be too many boobs, too much moe, or too cheesy of romance. Shows with boring protagonists I also try to avoid. |
   |
| It's been Jojo's for a long time, but i'm about to give in to peer pressure. There's something about both the art style and fandom that disturbs me. |
| Cory in the House, because I refuse to watch masterpieces. |
| Naruto, Fairy Tail, One Piece, Gintama etc. I mean I'd probably enjoy watching them, but they have way too many episodes to catch up. Also I refuse to watch SAO, because I have heard so many bad things about it. And genres I usually refuse to watch are ecchi and mecha. |

Is fandom influence really that bad when it comes to Jojo? I'm curious because I hear this a lot, however I first got into Jojo back in the early 00's when it was still pretty niche, and I don't follow individual fandoms these days. |

| The one and only JoJo and it is all thanks to the fan base. They just can't keep there mouth shut about the anime. The first thing you hear from them if it comes to anime is JoJo, and don't even let me mention where they keep on recommending it as if is the best anime there is to find. I was keeping it aside because of the art style and I would have eventually watch it, but there is no way that I will ever pick it up now. |

Reading the descriptions, I don't find myself interested in them at all or wanting to watch them. 1. Believe me part of those tags are not genres. 2. Tagging on MAL is highly inaccurate busies. 3. If your profile info is correct - some of your favourite animes are shounens - Steins;Gate, Yahari Ore no Seishun Love Comedy wa Machigatteiru, Clannad: After Story, Hyouka, Death Note and Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso. Not all of them are properly tagged tho. And I am not telling you to watch every shounen under the sun, just to no be prejudice about this tag - check it first and if indeed its battles shounen or some other narrative you dislike - the drop it. By the way in general I dislike battle shounens too but there are some exceptions like Shijou Saikyou no Deshi Kenichi, Yakitate!! Japan (parody) and Soul Eater which I like. Not really.

I am not telling you to watch it...personally I have dropped it few times (around ep 20) and had to find a specific mood and company to finish it.

| Old animes like albator and evengelion |
| ○ BL or bishounen shows ○ Sequels or prequels to shows I rated below 4 ○ Sequels or prequels to shows I dropped because I hated them ○ Isekai Quartet ○ Shows with ugly CG or ugly rotoscoping... ugly visuals or bad sound quality in general |
  |
| Gintama not because I think I wouldn't like it but because I don't think i can handle another couple hundred episode anime in my life. |

Assuming you're using "shounen" to determine the target demographic, I wouldn't call Steins;Gate, Clannad: Afterstory, or even Oregairu shounen anime. Just because it's set in a highschool doesn't mean it's for highschoolers. Clannad: Afterstory in particular is an anime that I feel a lot of teenagers and younger people in general wouldn't appreciate as much as someone in their late 20s/30s. And for stuff like Steins;Gate, it COULD be classified as shounen, but then you'd have to call every sci-fi thriller a shounen as well. It makes shounen too general of a category. |

| Nope. I keep my options open and if I don't like an anime I have to confirm such by watching it first. |

| Detective Conan, Watamote & Danmachi |
 It’s okay to look back at the past, just don’t stare too long |

It's not what you could call them or I could call them...it's what the author and the publishers decided them to be. For example Otome Youkai Zakuro is very shoujo-ish title...but it's actually for this part of the seinen demography who likes shoujo. PS I can give you other examples of non-DB or non-Naruto shounens from your list - Hataraku Maou-sama!, Kokoro Connect, Eureka Seven and Suzumiya Haruhi. And again - may point is not to say "Actually you already like shounen"...there horrible titles out there even from the non-battle and non-sport kind...just this term is too broad to hate everything related to it on the basis that you disliked some shounens. |

kevoh1516 said: Monster - plot makes no sense.

Tenma's life was already crumbling after being unfairly demoted from a job that he'd dedicated his life to securing and being ditched by his fiance. His only consolation was that he saved the life of a child...who then becomes a mass murderer who causes Tenma to become a suspect for the deaths of his colleagues. I don't think it's nonsensical that he chases after Johan. |

PsychoEkin said: I refuse to watch the fate series because I don't like the MC. I also try to avoid yaoi and reverse harem anime. I'm curious as to which MC you mean because it changes depending on which fate you watch? I'm assuming it's Rin because most people hate tsundere. I don't want to tell you what to do but I honestly felt the same about fate and put it off for a long time. The fight scenes alone make the entire series worth it. The OPs are incredible and some of the best I've ever heard in anime. I'm not a hardcore fan but it hurts my heart to see people not give it a chance. If Rin annoys you, watch Fate/zero instead. If Saber (???) annoys you, watch Fate/Unlimited Blade Works instead. Please don't throw out the entire franchise because of one character. |

laviha said: Future Diary, I dropped after episode 5 and can't even think about going through the pain of watching rest of the 21 episodes Not a terrible choice. The very end was complete and utter trash but I found the rest of the show entertaining. It's not everyone's cup of tea, though. I had a hard time getting past the shit animation, honestly. |

None of those shows you mentioned (aside from E7) are marketed towards the shounen demographic, and therefore are not shounen anime. This isn't me trying to make up a new definition; that's what shounen is. That's what the publishers and authors have decided it to be. And yes, it is an extremely general label, because if you really stretch it, ANYTHING can be shounen. Young adolescent males will watch almost anything, so where do we draw the line? If a writer decides to create a manga intended for teen boys, but teen girls end up enjoying it more, does that make it shounen or shoujo? How much stock can we really place in the author's ability to determine who will like their work? The publisher's intentions are even more vague, because all they care about is which demographic will bring in the most money, so obviously they'd serialize it where it's guaranteed to sell the most copies. For these reasons, I don't place much stock in whatever the author or publisher says regarding the target audience of their work. |

| any anime with over 150 episodes- i'm looking for a show to watch not a life commitment also any isekai that are seasonally airing. I don't completely cut off isekai from my watch list- just airing stuff. this is so I can know if it's actually good (with the help of reviews, recommendations ect) as most new isekai are kinda shit? also the fate series...? I just don't understand how to watch it, there are so many series and I don't know what order to watch them in, some are series in different universes? some are canon some aren't? its too confusing |
| yuri on ice, im annoyed from the fans. same goes for re:zero. or anything with weird incest shit. i’m not too picky with my anime though |

Same- I haven't watched code geass because I think the art style is so ugly. like man, why are their chins so pointy?! also i've been spoiled for the ending, so its kinda ruined for me anyway |
Pitunov said: Detective conan and one piece - because there's too much episode. Yeah I feel that, that's why I'm reading the One Piece manga instead of watching it. Detective Conan never appealed to me so I'm taking a pass on that one. Others I'm passing on include new seasons of series that I disliked the first season (ie. FLCL and Kakegurui) and anything hentai. |
    |
| "Horror" anime. The scare is always just some girl smiling weird or something. The only animated feature that was genuinely scary was The Second Renaissance in The Animatrix. That scene where the guy gets cut out of his robot suit is still hard to watch. |
| nothing is off limits for me. i want to roll around in filth. |
 |
| One Piece, Narato, Bleach and Fairy Tail they are all to long that I just can't bring myself to continue any of them I have watched a few arcs of each of them, but have never really committed my self to completing these anime |
What do you mean by "beast" exactly? Daphi said: oh i started watching it yesterday only 3 eps in so far but its actually hilarious, the MC can be such a savage the dialogue was really fun in ep 2 and 3 You are watching that abomination of the DIC dub I suppose, please do yourself a big favour and switch to sub immediately! |

Daphi said: no i dont watch dubs xD never its just seiyas personality is hilarious xD also im guessing what endlessmaria meant by beast is probably just the amount of episodes but im just guessing ;o Hmmm weird that you get that impression of him honestly xD, Seiya is anything but a "funny dude" or a character meant for comedy... in fact in SS there's hardly any comedy, if you keep watching you'll realize how the tone is in reality constantly very serious... it's probably the most serious battle shounen show of all. Also 114 episodes (145 counting the 2000s continuation) are not really thaaat much to consider it a "beast", it's not like a Naruto or One Piece with over 700... |
| I refuse to watch Naruto and anything related to Naruto because I feel its just overhyped as hell |
