What genre or setting do you avoid the most in Anime ?

Vote for an option that most suits the genre or setting that you tend to avoid at all costs regardless of whether it consititues a sub-genre within a particular show or not. For example, I voted "Harem where all or most of the female cast likes one male", so regardless of whether I like Action/Battles, High School, Fantasy or not, I won't be watching any Anime that has such a Harem setting even if the Harem setting forms just a sub-genre within it.

I have watched such Harem shows like Gakusen Toshi Asterisk and Seirei Tsukai no Kenbu in the past, but now I have sweared an oath to myself to never again watch any Harem anime, as I am totally boycotting such shows out of hate to that genre/sub-genre. Therefore, next year I will not be watching shows such as Arifureta Shokugyou and Death March Kara Hajimaru Isekai. However, I will be watching Kenja no Mago, as that is not Harem.

Watching Harems where one male gets all the females' affection caused me intense chest pains and hate, jealousy and anger at the MC's excessive monopolization of the affection of most of the female cast, so never again will I allow such genres to pain me. I'd be watching only Battle Animes where there are Multiple Couples formed, or Two Harem Groups forming and gravitating towards 2 Strong Male Main Cast characters.
I am someone that would like to watch a Harem Anime with 2 male leads that each gets their own harem company of girls from the main cast. For example, 1st male lead gets a company of 4 girls and 2nd male lead gets 2-3 girls etc.

Nothing.
I just watch whatever i think promising or interesting.

For harem i enjoyed it but when it's stray further from it's harem genre then ridiculously sink the ship without any reason or development i might marked the anime as a failure.

Nothing. I do not watch a show for the genre. I just watch what I think it's good. But I guess I have some more specific types of side-enjoyability like 4-koma manga.

Sports easily, granted I've never watched BL I'd gladly start over watching most sports anime.

Edit: Figured I should call it now the poll is probably a ruse so OP can do another thread on why harems with 2 male mc's would be better than the standard.

Isn't the most basic subdivision of harem anime "boy surrounded by girls" and "girl surrounded by boys"?

I don't avoid any since the story could be great if it's done right.

I only avoid yaoi. I avoided mecha for a long time after watching NGE, but TTGL and Mai-Hime changed that. Used to avoid bl as well, but after reading Tokyo Babylon I would give others a change if they look as interesting as that. Haven't seen any that looked interesting enough, but still.

Everything that I dislike or not interested in which is A LOT

- Romance especially if combined with Drama
- Ecchi (especially if it's the main focus of the anime)
- Harem/Reverse Harem
- Yaoi/Yuri/BL/GL, mostly because I'm not into romance/drama which is what the genre is about most of the time than the actual male x male or girl x girl itself
- Hentai
- Slice of Life, or more like anything that set in our world with nothing else going on but some drama/romance/comedy/cutesy, a tale of somebody's everyday life, and the like

So basically you only watch Mystery, Detective, Horror/Suspense/Thriller, Adventure and action anime. Hmmm, I feel sorry for you cuz I think half of anime is all about the genres you mentioned (except Hentai but is hentai really a genre?)

Why would you feel sorry for me lol
I'm not wasting my time watching something I clearly don't like

Then I don't care about half of anime ;D
I only watch what interest me. I have other things to do so I prioritize what cater to my prerferences first before trying other stuff I clearly not interested in but might still watch it on a whim.

Why isn't mecha on here?

I avoid it unintentionally. I don't gravitate towards many shows that have robots in them, but there's a lot I'd like to watch like NGE, Code Geass, and Gundam. I just spend too much time watching romance.

Other, military settings, the focus on army or military organization has 100% of the times bored me. Sadly it's very hard to filter out, since it's always mixed with other genres or settings which I like.

Others I try to avoid since they very rarely are any good: Yuri or Shoujo Ai, Yaoi and BL, harems.

Then there are sports, no idea why, those shows are hard to start for me, even if they are well received.

Maybe I am the minority in here who doesn't like anime without a guy in it. An anime with full of girls.
Also generic school LN harem anime with forgetable MC. First time seeing it was amazing. Now it became stagnant and boring without proper ending

Asking the real question here. Mecha is the only genre I avoid completely. Not that I found it bad or anything, I just don't like it. Robots and stuff... Hm. Not my thing.

The other one is isekai and high fantasy. I'll probably find one I like one day, but for now, the ones I tried seemed really boring.

I'm most tired of high school settings, but it doesn't seem like they can be avoided. Other than that, I only steer clear of hentai. I'm open to everything else.

Closest I think I avoid is harem. I don't have a problem with harems actually, I just hate the MCs. They always play the dumbwitted, socially inept role and can't recognize what is happening.

I can enjoy a harem where the MC either is focusing on one other person, hates those trying to be the harem, or actively goes against the harem.

mahou shoujo and mecha, both of which are not listed here. And Harems too. I probably avoid harems the most, mahou shoujo almost as much and mecha to a lesser degree. And no the number of fucking males in a harem doesn't matter, it's the concept of harems that I avoid.
I probably regret this post by now.

I usually do not go out of my way to avoid a specific type/genre of anime. The ones I am mostly skeptical and reserved about are: slice of life, harem, shounen and mecha. The reason is mostly being either boring, clichéd, cringy, upright frustrating or just does not suit my taste.

Suddenly, someone slaps you with a brick wall.

This poll doesn't mean it's more hated lol.. it's just that most straight guys don't wanna see dudes being close, and obviously the majority of people are straight. Doesn't mean we hate it

For every yaoi or BL thread there's like 15 ecchi/fansevice complaint threads, the difference isn't comparable cause there's always gonna be the double standard against perverted content aimed at men
