Favorite: Mecha. I'm a huge fan of Evangelion and Gundam franchise. So, it makes sense.
Least favourite: School. I hate most of the isekais, comedies and slice of life asociated with this topic.

Not completely up to date since I'm basing off data from 12+ days ago.

Weighted average
1. Shounen
2. Drama
3. Mystery
4. Seinen
5. Psychological
...
38. Yuri
39. Ecchi
40. Game
41. Kids
42. Hentai

Average:
1. Thriller
2. Psychological
3. Military
4. Police
5. Mystery
...
38. Game
39. Hentaii
40. Yuri
41. Kids
42. Shounen Ai

I believe the weighted rankings put a bit too much emphasis/weight in favor of hours invested, at least for me given how many shows I've watched and considering I don't narrow my focus on shows to certain tags. A couple of years ago, it was more accurate. Now, it isn't particularly reliable when some of the shows get adapted have commonly used tags for most of the seasonal shows I happen to watch i.e. Shounen. Average ratings is more accurate for me in reflecting what I enjoy. Between Thriller and Shounen on an average scale, it's a 1.04 difference just on average yet weighted would put Shounen first simply on the big discrepancy on hours, but it's because there are only very few shows that are tagged as Thriller compared to shows tagged as Shounen. And thriller has been by far my favorite genre, so there's no question that it should at least make top 5 on weighted. Plus average has 3 of what I thought is my top 5 genres. Weighted average also put ecchi bottom 5 which I don't agree with vs average. Not surprised Yuri, Hentai, Kids are in both. Yuri is essentially tagged with hentai and there are a lot of low quality shows.

least fav in terms of mean: Shounen ai (I've only watched one and it was one that's not even considered to be good so... yeah)
least fav in terms of weighted: Music (makes sense I guess)

Pretty accurate. Always enjoyable to relax watching some SOL/Comedy with good music.


Least favs:

2. Horror
3. Historical

Disagree here since I love some good dosis of drama. Also I kind of like horror anime but ig things like Pupa and Monster are bringing the score down.

Slice of Life: eh i dont really agree that slice of life is my favorite genre, hmm
my second favorite is Harem though and i'll have to agree with that.

Least favorite genre:
Action & as a bonus i'll say the 2nd least favorite is shounen: i'll absolutely agree with this as I dont really like to see tons of action, and shounen is quite notorious for lame action as well

It's partly correct only, because a genre could become my favorite once I rate a particular franchise with high scores.

Favorite genre: Adventure
I agree with this one, but it becomes my favorite because I rated Jojo with high scores.

Least favorite genre: Romance
It's because I rated School Days with low score lol actually I don't hate some wholesome and high quality romance. By the way Shoujo Ai is ranked low in my list, but it's one of my favorite genres in contrast.

Yeah, that all adds up. All i want to see is cool action with cool powers and it would be sweet if there were also some cool costumes and creatures.

Least faves:
1 Hentai
2 Cars
3 Shoujo Ai
4 Shounen Ai
5 Shoujo

Makes sense. I find romance terribly boring. I dont think I've add hentai to my list so that one is a bit confusing and i dont even know what a "cars" anime is lol.

Most favorite genres, higher rank is more favorite.
  1. Drama
  2. Slice of Life
  3. Mystery
  4. Psychological
  5. Seinen
Least favorite genres, higher rank is less favorite (i.e ecchi is the lowest)
  1. Ecchi
  2. Harem
  3. Comedy
  4. Hentai
  5. Parody
Do I agree? Pretty much so. But of course anime+ can only work with what I give to it. And ecchi isn't a genre I rate very high, but still enjoy. So don't confuse "favorite" in terms of rating with favorite in terms of enjoyment. They are corelated, but not the same.

This is very flawed, since it only counts numbers and not any other data like rating patterns. Also it lists sequels into counts and that swings it a decent bit of time

MALGraph is the same as animeplus, right? The site was just renamed, or am I wrong?

According to animeplus, my favorite genre is supernatural. I typically prefer sci-fi actually, but my high scores for every JoJo season and Yozakura Quartet explains why supernatural is number one (and shounen is number 2)

The lowest is (aside from genres not on my list at all eg. hentai) ecchi. Not surprising, and entirely accurate. When I say "lowest" I MEAN "lowest"! 1.4 mean score, lol

Psychological is #1, seems pretty accurate to me

What doesn't really fit is slice-of-life and comedy being so low on the list. I guess it's because I tend to rate them lower, even though I do like those genres

Most Favs according to MALgraph:
1. Historical
2. Seinen
3. Shounen

I agree with Seinen but the other two are iffy. Haven't really watched many historical shows and I don't really like shounen as much either.

Least favs:
- Fantasy
- Horror (actually my fav genre but most of the anime in this category suck)
- Harem

Favorites:
1. Drama
2. Sci-fi
3. Mystery
4. Adventure
5. Action

Seems about right. Although, when it comes to combinations of tags, things like psychological/thriller, mecha/adventure and romcom are my favorites.

Not so favorites:
42. Music
41. Kids
40. Ecchi
39. Dementia
38. Harem

Also fairly accurate, except for dementia. Sure, there's a lot of junk there, but when it's done well, it gets really high scores from me.

Favorite: Psychological. Hard agree; wasn't surprised to see it at the top.

Least favorite: Mecha. Somewhat agree. Mecha doesn't really interest me and is kind of a turn off and I've disliked the few mecha anime I've seen, but I haven't watched much mecha anime, so I feel like it's not fair to declare it as my least favorite genre until I watch more.

Well, if we go by at least 5 favorites, using weighted score, then:
1. Mystery (one of my favorites, sure)
2. Military (can't define as favorite, but I can definitely enjoy it)
3. Fantasy (one of my favorites)
4. Mecha (same as Military, can't define as favorite, but I can definitely enjoy it)
5. Thriller (one of my favorites)

And 5 least favorite:
33. Magic (not true at all!)
34. Ecchi (I haven't really watched any, it rated this one based on Gantz, but I don't think I'd enjoy ecchi)
35. Shounen Ai (a blatant lie, but BL anime is mostly bad, what can I do)
36. Comedy (true, I hate stupid comedies, for the most part)
37. Shounen (it's mostly in the last place because of battle shounens, but I'm inclined to agree, it's the genre that disappoints me the most, in general)

I guess "halfway there" would be the most correct answer?

MALgraph says my favorite genres are Drama, Psychological, and Mystery. I agree on this one, my top rated animes are on these genres...

And it says my least favorites are Ecchi, Harem and Romance.......... Well I don't know about this one. Lmao I watched too many animes of these genres, and I'm gonna lie if I say that I don't like ecchi lmao. Maybe they're just not the genres that I rated high on my list, unlike the top 3 genres....

Favorite based on weighted score:
1. Shounen
2. Samurai
3. Historical

Shounen is pretty accurate I guess. I don't know about samurai and historical though, it's probably because of gintama.

Least favorite:
1. Romance
2. Harem
3. Vampire

I'm actually surprised romance is included in my least favorite, I thought it would be on top.

Yup, I’d say I agree, especially the favorites. I’m quite surprised that Drama isn’t considered a top favorite on the list though. I will say, the least favorite genres listed may not be my actual least favorite. There’s likely way worse genres out there that I haven’t seen before.

I'm not sure what my weighted score means but according to that

Fave: Drama and Psychological
sort of accurate, though Drama being my favorite is kind of cheating since half of the titles listed under it are like secondarily or tertiarily dramas and are not really what you think about being listed under Drama (Megalobox, Cowboy Bebop, Haikyuu, Made in Abyss, etc.)

Least Fave: Seinen, Ecchi, Harem, Comedy, Slice of Life

Seinen, Ecchi, and Comedy are a bit inaccurate since its one of those genres where every random thing is under it
Comedy and Slice of Life are also a genre I don't mind it's just that a lot of the mediocre shows I watch tend to be those genres (I would rather watch a mid SoL than a mid battle shonen)
Harem is true though

I don't think that genre scores are quite accurate. The reason being sub-genres. It shows half my list (or more) under one genre even though I know for a fact that I've not watched that many shows of that particular genre. Let's take comedy as an example, everything from DBZ and Bleach to Kuroko no Basket and Ahiru no Sora is apparently comedy.
For the sake of the topic tho, my favorites (by weighted score) on MalGraph are Shonen and Superpower (surprisingly accurate), and the least favorites are Ecchi, Fantasy, Harem and Romance. This least fav part is true for Ecchi and Harem, but I really enjoy fantasy, and have been getting into romance recently as well, so it's off there.
