| Happy anime: Basically all comedy and a nice going vibe fr example: aho girl, saiki, konosuba Sad anime: anime that makes you sad for example: Clannan as, Little busters as, Rainbow, air, attack on titan and the recent best anime Sakurasa reset Which one do you prefer and WHY I prefer sad shows, it makes me look back to it and feel all the sadness again. I cried to every manga/anime in my favorites except: HNI and CG |

| I don't /love/ sad shows, but I'll watch them. I'd rather watch something with a meaningful story, so not necessarily tear-jerking, but meaningful. Going into something knowing I might cry is like torture. I'd rather it be a surprise lol And I wouldn't really call AOT a sad anime. Maybe emotional, but not just sad |
  |
| Neither. I watch everything. I prefer something that's more realistic so it's not super happy where MC has a bunch of love interests and powers but makes the MC work hard for the things they like. The Anime such as Clannad AS is overly emotional and I don't really like those either since it feels like the MC is being fucked with often. |
| Well my favorites list kinda has both. Mood doesn't really factor into my preferences. |

| Neither. I want a good quality anime. Come on 2017. Good quality anime WHEN. |

| I do like sad stuff, but when a show is overloaded with sadness, it often seems dumb and meaningless. I usually like shows that are happy overall, but then hit you really hard one or a few times. |
| as long as there is bromance either is fine I hate and love sad, mushy stuff. I have a conflicting feelings about it. Usually if it's a pure sad drama (and romance), I wouln't interested in watching it at all. But I love emotional scenes in my usual action/adventure anime. And I do prefer bleak atmosphere like in Shingeki, Tokyo Ghoul, Madoka, Steins;Gate than happy and exciting one like One Piece. |

| i prefer sad anime why? it left a better taste than happy ones but in romance anime i want to see my waifus happy other than that is 1/10 |
 |
| Of course happy, i ain't not one of those edgy fans. |
 |
| I like both but I prefer happy anime cuz most of the sad anime got spoiled for me |
  "elles sont bien noires les pensées des nuits blanches"  |
| This might seem weird but, I don't watch animes with sad endings.I make sure to ask around whether it has a happy ending or a sad one before starting the show.I'd watch anything as long as it has a happy ending. Kotoura-san, for example, had some sad happenings but I actually enjoyed it since it ended on a happy note. |
| either i suppose. depends on how well it's done |
| Leaning slightly more towards "sad" I guess, based solely on my listed favorites. But I prefer quality over anything. |
| I like comedy/parody the most,so I think it counts as happy anime,but sometimes Sad series are nice if you need to calm yourself and cry |
| Happy ones that end in angst and despair. |
 |
| If the anime is like Anohana, then I want to be sad AF. but if it's happy like.. like.. i can't remember a happy anime... FML. |
| something at the middle between happy and sad like rezero. |
 |
| if i were to pick one then sad anime cuz fuck generic good endings but you should watch both it's like yin and yang, too much of either is not good for health |
 |
| > Do you prefer happy or sad anime? Happy anime are obviously better. And even a sad anime better have a good ending. Fuck you, edgelords. If I want sad stuff, I can just turn on the news.

(out of 4 average score) Face it, you don't really care about quality. You only want approval of your elitist peers. And you didn't actually watch these 1500+ anime. |
| Depends what i want sometimes good mix of both of them ,if im stressed only fun happy anime would be my pick.İ love full drama sad animes too all of them ok. |
 |
| I prefer sad ones coz I need my daily dose of edge. |
 "... Because when you live in this world of my closed eyes... ... Being alone is very lonely...". |
| ^^ Don't be mean even if I wanted to say the same thing :p Ah, I prefer Happy Anime, I'm not gonna go out of my way to find something that makes me sad, why would I? I rather try making my bummed out self happy rather than sad :p (yea I know Sad Anime can be powerful, emotional and beautiful but eh, I'll watch it when I feel like it) |
  Ascended Taste I only came back to this site for the forum sets and to promote my RYM list... Anilist ftw still :dab: |
| I generally like happy anime. But I'm sometimes in the mood for sad ones as well. |
| I'm not a lolicon, you're just projecting your tendency to lewd 2D characters. If your favourite character is Tsutsukakushi Tsukiko, you are my soul mate. Been a long time since I've been here, I'll continue expressing myself freely and believe everyone should too. My MAL Interview |
| For me i like both but i prefer sad anime because you can feel the character's pain and relate to it and most sad anime you can't find things similar to it and it gets me frustrated and sad and happy when finally the character's pain and suffering bring him happiness in the end. i hate it when the anime finish whith uncompleted story so i go and continue the story in the manga. |
 |
| I prefer sad anime. Maybe because I'm a sad person irl. Also, I dont like "forced" happy endings and so on. |

Aslt said: Cyborg_Icarus29 said: lol let this shitty "elitist" meme die already. SAO isn't only disliked by the scary "elitists" Oh well, I was about to write a somewhat similar reply to that. You can't say that SAO is a "quality show". That's an oxymoron. But hey, what did I expect from someone that believes in a magical creature called an elitist ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ i see you're a man of culture as well. |

| Jun Maeda is the bane of anime for creating Utsuges. The name for this genre of "Crying Games" seems to be the premier example of putting the cart before the horse, anime wise. How about crafting actual characters instead of intellectually deficit beings. Jeez. So sad anime is not my favorite genre by the quantity of subpar quality. |
 |
| I've sort of started to find that sad things actually tend to be less impactful to me in the long run, because I think I tend to be much more caught up in the moment with them when they manage to move me. They tend to feel short-lived even compared to things like comedies and what I've noticed happening is that I'll usually rate them high and they creep down with time to being sort of high-mid-tier as opposed to high tier, with feelings of 'meh this wasn't so great, it doesn't need to be rated so high' in comparison to the sort of "boo hoo what a masterpiece" feeling that comes immediately after finishing them. So I'd say happy tends to move me much more and so I think it wouldn't be a stretch at all to say that I prefer that. Nothing against sad anime per se, but if something moves me in such a way I notice that they just don't tend to have much staying power with me in general. Compared to even something like TTGL, which I had some of the samey gripes about obnoxiousness that tends to be present in all of Imaishi's works, I found it to be much more uplifting as opposed to sad and it's stuck with me much longer than something like Angel Beats or Shigatsu or any "feels" anime I've seen has managed to do, so meh. And i-it's not like I appreciate TTGL or anything, b-baka. |

| I like both. I mostly like happy anime because it just makes you happy too. But when I watch a sad anime, I feel like it is so much thoughtful and real feelings show off. I really enjoy both, but 80% of anime I watch are happy anime. |
 |
| Happy for the sake of happy and sad for the sake of sad are equally bad. Neither has any merit in and of themselves. I can watch both and like them or hate them equally depending on how they're executed. What I do hate, though, are romanticized versions of either. Like the ending of Sundome. God that was bad. |
 |
| i won't categorize aot as one of the sad animes lmao doesn't really matter but sad anime just really leaves an emotion into your heart, you know;-;-;; |

Lol nope, these aren't the reasons why people dislike it. I'm pretty sure that you know why people dislike it so stop acting like a blind fanboy. Disliking this goddamned series has nothing to do with elitism. I have seen a LOT of casuals who dislike the series on many anime related sites/groups . The visuals are cool and the music is awesome but these can't save a poorly written show. |

| Haven't seen any of the examples but either way, but I guess happy. I do enjoy a heavier plot but not particularly the sad ones. They're good none the less, I just don't really care for the "feels train". Edit: Oh, I have seen one of your examples. Clannad Afterstory. Missed that one. |

| The sad anime tend to be more popular and have better stories, tbh. |
 Three things cannot be long hidden.. ...the s u n, the m oo n, and the tr u th. |
| I'd always prefer a shitposting thread anytime! Aside from that, I'd take happy anime. |
| Usually shows with good plotting tends to be more on the feels side (sad feels side), and I love to torture myself so yeah... |

| Sad anime. Though I have not stumbled upon a genuinely sad anime in a long time. |

| My mind says happy but my heart says sad. So many of my favorite anime, tv, etc. have either tragic or bittersweet endings... |

Cyborg_Icarus29 said: The visuals are cool and the music is awesome but these can't save a poorly written show. Except that SAO is a well-written show. #75 best novel according to MAL, and 10/10 according to me. I would even claim the director did a reasonably good job crossing mediums and adapting it to anime. (even if I have a lot of complaints on this front, resulting in anime being 8/10 according to me) |
