| acording to my mal stats, i prefer action, sci-fi, psychological, supernatural, mecha. that being judged by the genre tags used on mal, which for the most part is true. now, the issue is i don't really trust the tags used on mal and i don't think they're very accurate generally. there are somewhat more specific things i prefer, like the over-the-top gainax/trigger shows (or similar done by other studios), urban fantasies, magical girl etc. funnily enough, it also says i really like mysteries, which is in fact false, because i think most mystery anime is weak and i prefer it in other mediums. |

| I prefer action and/or comedy, but I'm open to watching other genres. |
 |
| I usually like Comedy or Slice of life but I am okay with most genres around, just not horror & gore. I cannot watch it for too long. I am too lighthearted and easily scared. -_- |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| SoL and comedy are my favourites. I usually avoid action anime. |
| :) |
| I prefer romance/slice of life/drama/comedy. And very very picky with action/adventure/fantasy types. |

| I prefer action-packed series. So mostly, I prefer shounen, adventure, fantasy, psychological, thriller, seinen. I'm not picky with any other genre. I'll watch anything, though other genres are lesser priorities. |

| i like horror/thriller/drama/comedy the most. i hate most of sci-fi animes or anything that has something to do with robots. ecchi and harem are both starting to gain a no from me |
 still life: pink roses |
| I don't really have any favorite genres, I don't think there's any genres/types of anime I like more than others. There is some stuff I avoid though: harems (I never watch reversed harems, but I'll still watch a regular one from time to time if I feel like it), yaoi/yuri/hentai (I don't like sexual anime, I'm okay with yaoi manga though), shoujo romances (I've had enough after 8 eps of Kaichou wa Maid-sama), ecchi (just don't like it animated, but it's okay in manga format). Other types of anime are all equally okay for me and I'm not really picky. I usually pick stuff to watch on a whim anyway. |
 |
| Well I do prefer the Action/Adventure and Comedy/Slice of Life genre more than the others, I don't really try to avoid any other genres. I mean as long as I am enjoying watching it, I can watch it no matter what genre it is. Well maybe not Harems, I mean harems are worth watching if you have an MC who maybe has some personality and isn't the densest being on the planet. |
  "All it took was an arm and a leg" |
| I really like to watch/read different genres, but I definitely love horror. |
| No, not really. A lot of times, I feel like it's fun to have more variety in watching anime. I used to watch harem a lot, until I switched it up - slice of life, school, comedy, shounen, thriller, sci-fi: all of those were watched in just one month for me. |
 |
| I like all genres. I'm not particularly picky about them. Although I do sometimes avoid anime which are too artistic or philosophical. My brain cannot really handle those. And I think most yaoi anime which are meant for a fujoshi and/or female audience. I do like shoujo though. |
 |
| I don't have a exact genre. If the anime doesn't have a bad ending then i'm fine with everything |
| I hate shoujo, josei, and anything that has a female MC edit: shounen/shoujo-ai as well, and stuff with wimpy male protagonist |

| I'm picky enough with shoujo/romance, they have all the same circumstances with different characters. I don't dare to try Yaoi, I've seen some of it accidentally, it's tragic. My favorite type of anime is fantasy. In a world view entertainment, probably horror. |

| Slice of life, romance and drama all the way. I like Sci fi (especially mixed with mentioned genres), but unfortunately many Sci fi series are unwatchable for me, because of high amount of forced 'deep' and thick atmosphere. I like psychological series too, but truly psychological (can me mixed with horror or thriller), not something like Death Note. Rather something like Higurashi or Bokurano. I avoid most of action series (especially battle shounen crap) and most of pseudo philosophical and/or overartistic anime, most of isekai. I don't watch any long running series, anything with yaoi and fujobaiting, anything with full 3d animation. |

| Dub = fake crap. Always. |
| I prefer comedy, action and ecchi. I'm not fond of mecha and drama anime in general. |
| my favourites are romance and psychological/thriller. But i wont just watch a bunch of the same genre in a row, because then they get boring. I like to watch everything, im not picky about what i watch. |

Although they are in full CG, they certainly look a lot better than anything on TV. |
 |
| Isekai anime immediately catches my eye but if it's too ecchi then i lose interest. I love OP animes too. |
  |
| ecchi harem and slice of life i'd say, although i like anything with fanservice mixed in |
   |
| Yes im picky when it comes to genres I prefer drama thriller action fantasy romance I avoid sports mecha sol parody |

| sure i enjoy Supernatural and Action but i don't watch it because it has Action and Supernatural in it, i watch it cause of the anime as a whole, not just 1 or 2 genre. |
| This depends on the mood really. SoL is probably my favorite genre.. well that is what you see in my top10, but in a different timeline or mood - supernatural/horror, romance/drama/comedy or shounen/action/sports. Shoujo is the genre I try to steer away from because it is usually hit or miss for me. |
| I'll watch any anime if it's good, but comedy slice of life is a genre I'm more willing to watch regardless of quality. I tend to avoid battle shounen and sports anime just because I feel like they wouldn't appeal to me, but of the few I have tried most I've liked. |
  |
| Glorious harem/ecchi master race They're separate genres but they go together hand in hand so often I usually just put them together at the top whenever I'm talking about my favorite genres. I can like them both separately, but when it's separate I'd lean towards ecchi over harem so it could definitely be argued I prefer it of the two. CGDCT is pretty great too, I'll usually look towards those sometimes for the sake of appearing as so, but not as heavily as H/E stuff. Other than those three my preferences aren't strong enough to turn away most things based on genre, except I'm not super into spacefaring-type sci-fi (which isn't much of a thing in anime to begin with, the type of sci-fi usually found in anime is cool with me) or parody stuff, which would both be stuff I'm capable of liking but rarely do. |

| I don't even check the genres, sometimes. I just go ahead and watch it for the premise and stuff. Sometimes knowing genres might lead to expectations and false assumptions. |
 |
| everyone has genres they prefer >_>" wtf ++ yuri, mystery, drama, sci fi, psychological + supernatural, slice of life, mecha - action, adventure, fantasy AKA shounenshit avoid sports, yaoi picky idk not often... maybe shoujo |

| I prefer to Slice of Life, romance and comedy thou. But sometimes, i watch other genres too |
Visit our website, Loligane Indonesia!  |
| shounenshit was a priori defined as this particular combination of genres the latter is more debatable but the truth value empirically approaches 1 |
|
| According to MALgraph, my favourites genres are: 1 Supernatural 2 Mystery 3 Comedy 4 Parody 5 Military 6 Shounen 7 Drama 8 Seinen 9 Thriller 10 Vampire And I think is more or less true. I also tend to like Action and Harems. My least favourites genres are Mecha, Dementia and Shoujo/Shounen Ai. |
 |
| I usually avoid sports shows since I'm not an avid sports fan as is and since a lot of sports anime play to the fujo's out there *cough cough*... Yuri on Ice Mech's aren't my thing, but that said, my fave anime is a mecha one. SoL's are my jam though. Which is ironic that I find them the most entertaining when not much really happens. |

| Though I might prefer some genres over others, I pretty much enjoy every type of anime since I've got favorites from all over. |
 |
| My definite favorites are Slice of life and Comedy. I'd say i'm picky on almost everything or nothing, depends on how you interpret it. But certain genres i generally dislike (for example: action, mystery,..) have to be better to be as enjoyable to me as a technically worse Slice of life/Comedy. |
 |
| My ultimate faves are slice of life and comedy. I honestly LIKE all the genre, except romance. Ew. Hahaha! Though, I'm into yaoi and shounen-ai, definitely the reason why I can't handle romance because of STRAIGHT ROMANCES are so freaking cliche with them annoying MCs and cliche plots. -_- |

| I usually prefer shΕnen, seinen, action, sometimes mystery or horror or thriller. But once in a while,a bit romance or slice of life is good too for relaxation. But if the anime is good, really good, I don't judge. I really love Haikyuu!! And Yuri!!!On Ice while I don't actually prefer sports anime. |
 |
| I will watch any genre even the ones I hate. For example I hate harems, but every once in awhile you have that one awesome character. Date A Live has Kurumi Tokisaki. I think most ecchi is poorly done, but there are a few gems among them like Prison School which has ecchi/fanservice that is actually funny. I didn't find the characters designs that appeal, but it's whatever. I watch ecchi for the sexual humor not as fap material like most people seem to do. Genre Preferences: Romance, Seinen and Yuri Genres I'm Picky about Hentai- When it's comes to visuals I harsher on hentai since its main appeal is sex. Also it's pretty much fap material and there plenty of kinks that are major/instant turn offs for me. So yeah I have to selective when it's comes to things like that. |
| Drama. Fantasy drama, psychological drama, romance drama, historical drama, mystery drama.... Basically any kind of drama (with zero fanservice, because that's disgusting). I'm also into slice of life, especially if it has some delicious cooking along with it. I'm not big fan of shoujo, much more into josei, but I guess that has to do with me being in early 20s and getting bored with your usual kind of manga. I see a lot of manga (especially shounen fighting manga and shoujoish romances) I would read 3 years ago, but no they are big NO. Actually lack of manga like Vagabond, Innocent or Monster really bothers me. I'm picky about romance. I actually don't read manga that has romance as a main gender. I read manga for inspiration and if I want to read romance, I'll read books. And I barely watch anime, 'cause it downgraded in every aspect (Δast izuzecima). |
 |
| I've said it before, and I'll say it again. Mahou Shoujo, Mecha, and Psychological/Dementia is my life. (Well and motorsports but that's a totally different thing). |
"I'd take rampant lesbianism over nuclear armageddon or a supervolcano any day." ~nikiforova |
| I'm usually not too picky regarding the genre of a show, there are just two or three I avoid. If I have to pick favorites I think they would be sports, drama, romance and slice of life. |

| I'm not picky over genre unless it says 'psychological'. Then again, for many people 'psychological' is just 'whoa weird visions'. I rely on art style when I look for anime. |
