| I often avoid series I deem edgy with lots of violence like Tokyo Ghoul. |
 |
| Anything with sports and cooking. There is probably some good ones but I don't like sports and cooking. |
| Male demographic titles written by female mangakas where there is a possibility of love polygons. I despise drama. All girls anime cause I can't relate, or at least that's my belief. Maybe it's like shrinking away from sports/some sport before putting in the effort to watch it and get addicted lol Titles where drama is explicitly mentioned as genre. Just nope, not touching these if my eyes see that. |
 |
| BL or yoai themed series, just not into them. |
 |
| Most of the Chinese cultivation ones with BL undertones or just any BL anime in general. atxt said: Anything with sports and cooking. There is probably some good ones but I don't like sports and cooking. Start with combat sports one like Hajime no ippo or any of the boxing ones or even keijo or some of the baseball ones like One outs is good. At least boxing ones has action too, adrenaline rush, good character stories and is a lot of fun, especially Hajime no ippo. I didn't care for sports anime too with the exception of these. I couldn't get into haikyuu even though I tried since my wife loves this anime. |
| BL definitely, Chinese anime too since I'm not really into their art style |
| One Piece cause the art style looks ridiculous |
 |
| Lately I've been avoiding school shit. I still like like persona though so the only explaination I can come up with is that I like explosions more. |

| I'm avoiding Yaoi Anime like Yuri on Ice |

| I have avoided Tokyo Revengers and Sk8 for about a year, even though I checked every other anime of 2021 that stood out for any reason as soon as they started airing. Reason? I didn't expect to like them. Then, I decided to give them a try and... I didn't like them. |
 |
| There's loads of anime that I avoid. I'd be here forever trying to name them all, so instead, I'll name some types of anime that I avoid: Most seinen anime - I refuse to watch stuff with sex scenes and extreme violence/gore, and you're more likely to run into that stuff in seinen works. BL & all-boy sports and idol anime - If you look at my completed list, you'll notice that I actually used to watch this stuff, but after discovering that I was a woman, my interest in anime boys disappeared almost completely, so I avoid this stuff now. For the record, I was never attracted to real-life guys, ever. Horror & Thriller anime - Again, I'm not into extremely violent stuff, or stuff with sex in it, so I generally avoid these genres. Harem/Reverse Harem anime - I find this stuff weird. I've never watched a harem anime in my life, and I never will. Battle Shounen anime - I'm simply not into this stuff. It doesn't appeal to me at all. |
 |
| Anime that popular and most people think it's the best anime ever. |
  What Does Pot of Greed do?  |
| I avoid anything that looks too pandering, so harem/reverse harem are a big no-go for me, ecchi usually too (though I can handle some if it isn't too distracting). Idol shows (both male and female). Overly edgy teen boy fantasies. Oh, also, anything with a pink-haired "best girl"/love interest. Idk why but these shows are always the most disappointing bullsh*t or the girls in question are so frequently pretty terrible people. Mirai Nikki, Darling in the Franxx, Owari no Seraph, Guilty Crown, Rosario to Vampire, half the girls in Slime, etc. They are also usually the worst aspect of overall enjoyable shows, like Sakura in Naruto, Megumi in Shiki and Euphemia in Code Geass. It's gotten to the point where if there is a main love interest in the promo art with pink hair (like Shikimori), I just don't bother anymore. I know it's probably unfair and also very weirdly specific, but I've been burnt too many times x) Shows where the pink-haired girl is the protagonist herself are fine btw, like Madoka or Utena, it's just when they are in a love interest position that they are always weirdly unbearable. |
| Neon Genesis Evangelion because I'm not a fan of mecha, it also makes me motion sick. |
 |
| Pretty much any extremely popular anime. They are usually not my cup of tea. |

DrBalls said: CuteChaff3503 said: Neon Genesis Evangelion because I'm not a fan of mecha, it also makes me motion sick. Well when it comes to Eva, the animes focus isn't the mecha, but the psychological aspect. I'd honestly recommed watching if you're into psychological stuff even if you don't enjoy mecha. While I didn't find Eva to be anything special, it might be different for you, idk tbh choice is still yours... I might try it again one day. |
|
| My Neighbor Totoro - it's a stupid reason really - I got suspended from school on the day my Japanese class was going to watch that movie. So every time I think of that movie, I think about my cringy, idiot high school self. Also, Attack on Titan. I just can't be bothered. Also, I don't want to have an opinion on it since I want to stay away from its fanbase entirely. |

|
| I used to avoid BL for a while but I guess now I've crossed that bridge too. So nothing as of now. |
 Maybe try sleeping? |
| Evangelion fits perfectly here for me, for both the 'used to do so' and the 'will continue to do so' meanings. My initial experience with its fans deterred me from watching it: I eventually did, and quite liked it. Then I watched EoE, which completely killed my interest in the franchise altogether. I have no desire to watch the rebuilds. |
| Yes, there are multiple anime that I have avoided due to aesthetically displeasing artwork and annoying fanbases. |
| Anime that almost everyone hates, I try not to watch. |
| I would prefer not to have something as unappealing as HentaiKamen! |
| I have some in my list, but I try to avoid ecchi animes. (or more-like borderline hentai animes) |
I love bread |
| Shitcom. It's disgusting. I have no idea what'd possess someone to make something so vile and revolting. |
| My waifu is the most wonderful waifu. Mai Valentine. |
| Nope nothing really... I try to watch every genre or theme and don't avoid anything even if it is the gayest shit in existence. |
  "Nothing amazing ever happens here..." |
| chinese, taiwan, korean, west cartoon. |
| I watch every genre and a lot of chinese stuff too but this two anime are something I avoid: Utsu Musume Sayuri and Born by Myself. |
  |
| i have been avoiding jujutsu kaisen ever since it came out. i think having everyone around me irl and online talking out it so much has just made me lose interest in it |
 |
| I dont particularly avoid anime but I guess I am trying to avoid MT part 2 because I disliked the first part. Either way I think I will still end up watching it. Otherwise I avoid some popular or good anime (that I am sure I will like) so that I could watch them or binge them when I am over with exams or whenever I am free. |
If you enjoyed the time you wasted, then its not a waste of time.  |
| Most popular stuff, I mean I can tell when it's going to be a waste of time |
| Anything that seems excessively violent or overly serious. Overly crude or lewd. Artsy fartsy/pretentious. Netflix produced anime. Battle shounen and shows with 100+ episode counts. Sports, card games, police. Anime with the USA as it's setting. I think that about sums it up. |
 |
| I have been avoiding a lot of the Isekai Genre. I do plan on getting to them eventually but not right now…or any time soon for that matter. I don’t really have a very good reason other than I don't like the concept. |
-insert NGE meme here- |

If we're talking about edgy shows, are there exceptions like in CG's case, or is CG the only exception for you? I didn't say edgy. I said overly serious. Code Geass is not meant to be taken seriously. I mean...just look at it. Anyone who takes Lelouch seriously is an idiot. Edgy anime can be great fun. Madoka Magica is very edgy. Made in Abyss, Rozen Maiden, Parasyte are a few edgy anime I enjoy very much. |
