It's a genre, as there are entire shows dedicated to ecchi.

ok thank you, now to my answer for this thread.

To be honest I find ecchi to be the weakest (Horror is second).
Mostly because Ecchi needs other Genres (Mostly comedy) more than other genres do to make its show work.

ofc no, you will find tons of people on MAL and all of community who watch ecchi just for the ecchiness :D

I think Josei is the weakest as i dont see many shows of this genre at all and even less good ones. (not mentioning obvious choices liek Yaoi, Yuri, Shounen Ai)

Oshii is probably the only director that loves dogs. He thinks he's a dog himself.

Horror +1
Anime really suck in that genre. There's no decent horror anime (Another is the only one I liked)
And reverse harem ? I don't like those kind of show.

Mecha... I guess...

IMHO, giant fighting robots just don't make very good waifus

And yet, mecha has birthed some of the most iconic waifus of all time. So even the worst genre has its merits.

i guess i could agree to horror. Its weak due to it being pretty under represented.

i think romance is pretty weak. I find in the majority of cases, romance is just poorly done. My biggest problem with romance being how one dimensional the males are. How the females are lucky if they even get 1 dimension. And then all the circumstances are super unbelievable.

this is my problem with romance in most media, not just anime.

If we say anime series, then horror. Not because anime is pretty, but because most anime series are TV series, you know Japan censorship (but at least it's not China censorship). Also not-so-very-great directing can affect.
Idk if Re:Zero is horror, but look how "horrifying" Re:Zero gore is. The gore's watered down compared to the manga.

Well, like pretty much everyone said: horror. At best I've seen anime that managed to create a very strange, oppressive and discomfortable atmosphere. I heard that Boogiepop Phantom has a similar one to Lain and is even more horrific btw.

Horror and harem, mostly I say that harem is worst. They're all just the same, and until you like it, seeing one harem can be painful.

For me the weakest genre iss the one who interest me the least:
- then horror would be one of them, despise liking some horor anime like Shikki and Ghost Story.
- Idols: if this can be considered a genre... I just simply can't stand those Idols anime. Mostly because they present some sort of idealistic bright happyidol life, when the reallity is far from that. It gives me the impression that they are created to attract young naive girls in that shitty idustry.

The weakest has to be Harem, it probably has less than 5 shows that I'd consider as good, second weakest is horror for the fact that it also has the minority of good shows, under 10 I'd say. I'm happy with the rest of the genres, I think they all have enough amount of shows to support the genre. We need more quality horror shows, harem is a bit hard as I think it's a very hard genre to make something good of.

Probably Harem. I can't remember a single great Harem anime, no matter how hard I try.

Actually... there might be one. Gundam IBO technically has a harem in it, but I'm not sure it counts.

Horror. Nothing in horror anime is actually scary, it's there more to tell you that there's blood and gore and spoopy backgrounds instead.

I need to watch more harm show but the only one I like is Tenchi Muyo. The thing about that show is that every series not all the girls were after his dicks. I don't know why most harem anime can't realize that it makes a show crowded and hurts character development when you tries to ship multiple characters with one.

Oh Negima was another one, but even then the girls say the professor in different ways. It is like Japanese writers think every person of the other sex must have sexual feelings for him when it is the opposite.

In my opinion - romances. Everything is unnatural and have their conclusions at the end of series if at all are... *Can anyone send good romance up :DD?*
Fights are hard assumed because of low quality animation + 3D graphics ( destroyed second season of Berserk :<)

For me it would have to be Harem. It is just so boring and plain for me and sometimes even sad tbh to see girls wanting one guy and him being just awful to them often.

There are several genres I want to say are the weakest, but haven't seen enough anime labeled as them to feel right in making that claim.

To name a genre I have seen enough anime of, I'd go with School - Slice of Life. Why?

95% of anime that are labeled "School - Slice of Life":

Valentine's Day
Making and giving chocolate
A festival
Fire work show
Summer Break
Christmas season
Sporting event
Amusement park trip
Test of Courage
Study day/date
Talking in circles instead of getting to the point

Every anime that is a slice of life where the main set is also a school pretty much looks exactly what I listed above. There is little to no originality and they basically do the exact same thing in each school based slice of life. Usually I do find these anime good to above average (6-7/10) but I would say it's the weakest due to the lack of originality. I know a lot of anime under the same genre have similar elements, but each school slice of life has to be the worst in hose regards.

Japanese Horror doesn't want to scare or else it would be full of those stupids jump scares you find in western games/films.
