jal90 said: Itazashi said: I don't despise the genre and those kinds of shows, but i most certainly don't hate them. To me, a well-written female, lead or side-character, that has cute elements and mannerisms is much more appealing to me than simply a female character who has very little actual effort put into them and is drawn for the sole purpose of appealing to the male demographic. I think this criticism is to a great deal pure confirmation bias based on their labelled demography. There's a lot of CGDCT shows out there by female authors and directors, the appeal is far wider than the source label indicates (K-On! being the usual example) and to say that the purpose of these characters is solely to appeal to the male demographic just because you don't find them interesting or engaging is all kinds of dishonest and some pretty bad logic. Ah, i see. Forgive my ignorance. Thank you for giving me this information, though. |

| I only like them if there is no Yuri. If there is yuri or yuri bait, I don't care how good it is, I will drop it. |
| It’s CGDCT! How could you hate that?! |
 |
| "CGDCT" is a genre that is inherently kinda dumb. There's no point to watching most of them, so only the very best are worth watching. |
 This glorious signature image was created by @Mayumi! I am the Arbiter of Absolute Truth, and here is my wisdom: "Anime was always influenced by the West. This is not news. Shoujo is the superior genre primarily aimed at young people. Harem/isekai are lazy genres that refuse any meaningful innovation. There is no 'Golden Age.' There will always be top-shelf anime. You should be watching Carole & Tuesday." |
| Usually they just annoy me, tho there are exceptions here and there (Kobayashi, Yuru Camp). CBDCT can also be irritating, but again, exceptions exist (Tsuritama, Chuuboy). Basically if the gimmick's interesting I'll probably enjoy it, but generally the 'cute people doing cute things' aspect doesn't appeal to me at all. |
currently: doing my best!  |
| I've only seen a few of them (Yuru Camp, Sora yori mo Tooi Basho and Araburu Kisetsu) but they all were really great, I frankly enjoyed them I guess it's pretty enjoyable when it's well written |
| Do I like cancer? Of course not. NEVER. |
 |
| I think the good ones are some of the best things anime has to offer, given that I care much less about a story as compared to character chemistry. K on is like my favorite tv show of all time because it’s unironically one of the best written shows wver |
 |
| Personally I watch anime for crazy sci-fi and fantasy shit, to see characters beat the fuck out of each other, and for a little fanservice, not to see a bunch of cute girls running around doing cutesy things. But to each their own. I have no right to judge. |
| I like some and hate others. I like Maid Dragon, Non Non Biyori, Girls und Panzer but aint a fan of Love Live |
| Go check out my latest review: https://myanimelist.net/profile/YeeYeeAss/reviews |
| I tend to avoid them, most of them don't look like something that would interest me. |
 |
| It kind of needs to have some kind of direction to interest me. If it's just random daily stuff, I'm not very much interested, unless maybe the characters appeal to me a lot. Like, I thought K-On was at its best when they did their music thing, but all the basic daily stuff didn't interest me much. |
| zero interest in CGDCT, I just don't really like cute anything. Like I never understand people fawning over puppies and the like. I don't really hate them, when I watched sound euphonium I finished it quite quickly... because I kept zoning out and not noticing that time was passing or what was happening in the show. Moe just is not and probably never will be my thing |
I don't think it's possible to hate them that would be like hating happiness it's self. |
| I have discovered that I can like them if they are drawing manga, making their own anime, or are fighting a zombie apocalypse. xD |
  |
| Unless they have something more going for them such as with something like gakkou gurashi,i'm going to be largely uninterested.It's just not my thing to be honest.I would say it's not a genre i would actively seek out when choosing what anime to watch. |
 |
| Mostly hate them, unless they have something else besides just that like Girls Last Tour and Dragon Maid. |
| I hate them but if Sora Yori does count as CGDCT then that'll be the only CGDCT I've actually ever enjoyed truly in my entire life. |
| I'd prefer IPDIT - interesting persons doing interesting things. Alas it's not popular today |
 |
| There is a CGDCT that made me hate most battle shounens that exist, its name is Aria. |

But fanservice, yuri element and drama make the show bad for me not always but in lots of times. |
| Yes, cute girls doing cute things is the greatest thing humanity has ever made. |

| Yeah I greatly enjoyed them because I have K-On! as my all time fave. But I also do hate some CGDCT shows because lacking substance and bore me to death. Some of the characters are just lack charm and nothing really special about their personality. |
  |
| I'm still fairly inexperienced compared to some people but eh, it's between "alright" and "pretty good" |
 |
| Neutral, generally I don't like cute , happy, airhead characters but sometimes I still can enjoy the show overall |
| Хайде, хайде, хайде, това е първата зона, брато, първа зона, първа зона, добре, добре, добре, това става тук горе, отива тук горе, само спокойно, само спокойно... Ха, отдясно е, навсякъде отдясно отдясно къде е дясното ти о да добре добре добре тихо мълчаливо не успях да се съсредоточа върху това ЕХ ТЪПАК КОГАТО СИ БАВНО БАВНО ... ой е путката на моето момиче прасе куче, аз Чувствам се добре, о, мамо, *шамар*, какво е това госпожице татко- |
| Neutral. Comes down to what it contributes to a show. |
| There's no inherent right or wrong in this universe, but when we think with emotions rather than logic, we make things so. |
| It’s also a hit or miss for me They can be amazing like A place further than the universe and Non Non Biyori or they can bad like miss kobayashi dragons maid. It’s nice to watch when I don’t want any heavy action or drama. And it all comes down on when I’m watching it and how I’m feeling to see how much I enjoy it. |
| If there's a hole there's a goal-Master Oogway |
| One of my favorites animes is K-On, so I think that we have the answer. |
 |
| I watch them to relax, unwind and detox. I don't love them, but I do appreciate them. |
