| I'm not sure if it's just me, but I get put off by anime with a cast only made up of one sex. Even if I'm trying to look for a guilty-pleasure shounen ai, I really dislike when there's only guys and maybe a trap who identifies as a man. What happened, do the girls not exist or something?? Of course, it makes sense if it's an all-boys school, but if not then it's pretty unrealistic. Was there some sort of apocalypse? For example, I dropped New Game 2 episodes in (mainly because I was bored) but also due to the unexplained lack of males. Isn't this supposed to be a workplace? At least Love Live had a good excuse. I get that a lot of anime is just for entertainment, but when I think 'Slice of Life' I think 'realistic'. It's the same with harems, I don't like how there's one MC everyone is getting wet for. Maybe I'm getting too worked up about this, but this has bugged me for a while. I don't want more of the opposite sex for the purpose of heterosexual relationships—I'm not that ignorant—it's just that I find it unnatural. Anyone else? *this is just opinion, I'm just not fond of the idea |

| I am absolutely fine either way, but I'm much more receptive to all female casts. I also don't see how it's unnatural for a workplace to be mostly comprised of one gender. Unusual, but not unnatural. Then again unusual twists what could otherwise be mundane things makes things more interesting so eh GlowingAura said: when I think 'Slice of Life' I think 'realistic'. given that there's slice of life in fantasy settings or relatively absurd slice of life in what would be an otherwise normal setting i sort of don't feel like it's reasonable to demand something that's really more of a structural thing to constantly adhere to reality, especially since it already sort of doesn't |
 |
| Well i feel like when the cast is all one gender, from what I've seen, it usually makes sense. It doesn't bother me. |
when ur about to have a refreshing sip of earl grey tea and someone says "traps are gay" |
| I don't mind personally if the characters are good then thats all that really matters to me its not like throwing in an extra character of the opposite gender would make it any better or worse after all if they are exactly the same quality of the core cast |
 |
| All male cast anime are predominantly watched by females. On the other hand, all female cast tend to have a relatively split viewership. Why? Don't know. What I think of one gender casts? I don't particularly mind. Does it make sense? I don't particularly mind either. |
| 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 it depends on the show and how it's characters are. Like Bungou Stray Dogs and Yuri on Ice are/can be aimed at a female audience but the overall feel of those shows certainly doesn't make it seem that way imo. In that sense I personally don't mind them just as long as I enjoy it. |
 |
| I perfect a mixed bag, however it can be done well as a purely one gender cast, a series like k-On comes to mind. |

| I do not have the time to think about such bullshit. |
| i don't watch all Male Cast anime i have no problem with all female cast anime |

| if you want to make it moe without much effort you just put random kawaii girls with each of them having a different personality. SUPERIOR JAPANESE STORY TELLING |
| Its hard to watch anime without a great story. All male or female cast is RARELY great. |

Brb said: Uh. KnK and Haikyuu are predominantly one gender cast. True, but I'm referring to all one gender casts, which does conveniently and intentionally exclude most sports anime. Guys mostly watch for the sports action and girls mostly the guys in the series. You might as well point out that harems are predominantly female casts and state my claim that they generally have a more balanced gender ratio is wrong. C'mon we both know what I meant. It's also important to note that sports anime like Kuroko no Basuke has a pretty high female viewership (not too sure about Haikyuu), which does suggest the predominantly male cast does pull in female viewers. |

| True, 100% male only or female only cast is a huge turn off. Unless it's a sports anime lol. KnB and Haikyuu have female casts (and a badass and likeable one at that) even though they are not the main cast. |

| I love all-male casts, because bishies are hot, and I don't have to look at females. |
 |
| all boy and all female casts have their own targeted audiences, that's all there is to it. Basically, to simply sum it up. All male cast = female audience All female cast = male audience |
| It doesn't bother me. I'm not looking for realism when watching a CGDCT moe anime. And most of the characters in these kinds of shows aren't realistic to begin with anyway. |
| who gives a damn about wherether its an all female cast or male cast as long as it has a great story or tolerable. But if its harem Bye for me. |

| Well it's kinda bugging me when the other gender is completely excluded as if it was nonexistent, like in K-On or Sekaiichi Hatsukoi, but I don't mind it when most of the cast is one gender witch occasional characters from the other gender, like in Claymore and Kuroko no Basket. |
 |
| If the anime is good then I really don't care what the gender of the cast is. |
| All female is good, all male is sin against god. |
 |
| It's good as long it's doesn't focus and go half/fullhomo, for me. |

| Don't care about the 100% same genders or 100% same gender main characters |
 |
| Well, i said that i enjoy CGDCT, so i accept an all girls cast. But the all male cast? It depends, mystery? Okay. Sports? Fine, but make it purely sports. Male on male romance? Tell me so i dont watch them. Simple enough i guess. |
| Life isn't as fun and easy as anime. Watch anime to bring that fun!! |

Well, I'm a homophobe. Actually I don't really hate gay, but I hate/uncomfortable when people being gay. It's really relative depending on the context, I guess. I mean, if I can comprehend and feel why they're being gay, I suppose it doesn't matter. I think, that's applicable to all relationship, but let's said I have less affinity with homosexuality. |

Lol, so you say that you don't hate gay people, but you identify as a "homophobe?" People confuse me so much. |
|
| If the anime has all male cast with a yaoi or harem tag, I'm outta there. The ones I do like are something like Danshi Koukousei no Nichijou. If the anime has an all female cast, it has the potential to become one of my favourites. Something like Azumanga Daioh or Nichijou or Non Non Biyori. |
 |
| Nothing in anime is that realistic. Though in New Game!, they referenced it when Aoba questioned the lack of males at EagleJump, but that is Season 2, episode 1. Honestly, sex does not bother me. |

| Oh, to be fair, I do hate specific gender imbalances of one male versus many females. Grisaia bothers me with how it does it in the visual novel. Everyone who is a noted character is always female, and besides the official heroines, we also have Yuuji fuck Chizuru the principle, Asako, and JB (Who is still somehow a virgin losing it to a pubescent kid) . I mean, jeez, it is as if they turned everyne noted character into a female to cram another sex scene in, regardless of their actual relation, and that seems fairly...."disrespectful" to turn every character female for hentai reasons. It is not a nukige, damn it. Oh, and New Game! is yuri bait, essentially. Just saying. Softcore teasing, mind you. |

| Yeah I agree... So I just don't watch those animes... Problem solved |
In the immortal words of Mr. Chang.. |
 |
| It depends on the story. New Game, for example, is a Moe slice of life show and in that genre, the characters need to act a certain way.The way the characters in that show are so playful and kind to each other fits better with an all-female cast. In a new game, they are also very open about their emotions and watching that feels more natural if the characters are women. TL;DR Also, not everyone thinks men are cute but everyone thinks women are cute. A show about cute people needs to have women in it. |

I always assume if you like one sex romantically, you don't necessarily hate the other sex. I'm asking because it different than my expectation. I just curious. It's fine if you don't want to answer. :) |

Because of this, I could never be in a relationship with a girl, because I could never love her. |

| > What Do You Think of All Male/Female Casts? I like anime with all-female casts almost as much as I avoid anime with all-male casts. Call me biased, I call it knowing what I want. Anime like LoGH are for the girls, and I am a rather stereotypical heterosexual male. |
| all female = FUCK YES, automatic watch all male = don't watch XD |
   |
| I don't mind an all Female or all Male Cast. Heck I even prefer a single gender cast at times. Sports anime = All Male Cast Anime about cute things = All Female cast Magical Girls = All Female Cast. |
| boring i prefer mixed or at least two of each. gamers did a good job because i thought it's aimed towards males but there's two prominent male characters. sometimes all male casts work like in daily lives of high school boys because they all have very distinct personalities. it's hard when it's all girl casts because it's usually focused on archetypes or how cute they are. |
