I like idol anime, magical girl anime, and female protagonist sports anime. I also like slice of life comedies with a particular style of humour.

Battle shounen, sports shounen

Anything that contain bromance, friendship themed story

Also action, mystery, sci-fi, fantasy, thriller, adventure, super power, super hero

Anything involving time bending/time travel/time paradox

I prefer bleak athmosphere rather than cheerful

Psychological anime are typically the most well written. But shounen is my favorite.

Mystery/psychological! I love trying to guess or come up with theories on what'll happen next and plot twists done right really blow my mind xD.
Also love anything with romance ^^

I'd say Shoujo but that's more of a demographic than a genre.

So I'll go with romance cause I like seeing my ships sail. Except in Akagami no Shirayukihime where I like the non-canon couple better.

Sports. Funnily enough some sport shows can be really realistic actually but then you can find those that make every character op, so there's variety. Plus it's fun to see how it's animated, same with reading manga to see how mangaka portrays movements.

Mahou shoujo. I'm a sucker for friendship speaks and silly plots that don't take themselves too serious.

Drama for feels
Action for cool fights
Romance for cuteness

Well, looking at my list, I guess it's mostly school slice of life. It's the one genre I find a dearth of in the Western works.

Sci fi, psychological, mystery. If it is well written and executed it will be a masterpiece.

I enjoy isekai, yeah it's a bit over done, but It's a really good series for fish out of water story. I kinda like this even outside of isekai, the kid that gets thrown into the deep end unexpectantly, and may or may not be super powerful.

Some of my favorite isekai right now are ones that do things differently.

Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken is one of my favorites due to the whole not just human, they do something with the story.

I'm pretty sure it's slice of life, but I'm also partial to really good fantasy and adolescent girls with emotional turmoil who slap each other.

According to my mal graph it's mystery but it's just a really commonly done trope. I think urban fantasy/supernatural is my jam even if there aren't many shows that really capture that essence you know. Also not really a genre but shows with realistic portrayals of loneliness and depression like sangatsu- I love em so much.

Anime is good, fucking deal with it.

Tough question. But the genre that is probably my favorite, and the one I want there to be more of, is psychological. The study of the human psyche fascinates me to no end.

Dementia and Psychological, maybe because they lead my brain to destruction? And also seinen, despite I still like shounen. (I know these two aren't genres))

I like series with

+2deep6me tag or +thisserieswillscewupyourbainbecauseitsfuckingdeepasfuck tags

I kinda like how most series deals with such heavy problems that deals with human nature, such as bullying, or plainly deal with stress. In some ways, the portrayal of symbolism actually enhances the portrayal of such themes, and in my opinion, are what I prefer.

In my opinion, those shitty users who enjoy fucking SoL/CGDCT are the worse of all, they're fucking trash that needs to weed out so that the anime industry can live-off decently without any cancerous users on its tail.

Yes, speaking of CGDCT/SoL tag, it's one of the most fucking boring and cliche shit of all. Fucking series with too much sexualize lolis!

I like deep anime, or ones where characters drive the story. I like alot of genres, but I particularly enjoy supernatural and crime/thriller anime. Pretty much anything with shinigami or gangsters is going to catch my interest.
