| This genre is triggering to some people bcuz of fanbase in it. Handful of titles is about slow progression with same plot. So its bad genre for me. |

KuroudoAkabane said: Ah, cool. I get what you meant now.GlennMagusHarvey said: it was supposed to be **such** worldsNot sure what you mean by "cuh world", but there are quite a lot of fantasy shows that are adventure stories of some sort, particularly ones that take after D&D or other RPGs in some way. Some action is usually involved, but not necessarily the focus. I should also have clarified -- within fantasy adventure, you can have both drama and comedy, usually a mix of both, but depending on the show there's more of one or the other. A typical approach has more comedy early on and more drama as the end of the story approaches. Romance subplots can show up in them. For example, there are romance elements in The Tower of Druaga (which is more drama than comedy, after the fast few episodes), but no romance elements in Leviathan the Last Defense (which is mostly comedy, and a cute-girls-doing-cute-things show at that, which explains the lack of romance). There seemingly may or may not be romance in Tales of Zestiria (depending on which plotline you choose apparently?), which is certainly a fantasy story taken seriously, and while there are some romance elements in Magic Knight Rayearth (which is somewhat more light-hearted and frequently comedic) and Record of Lodoss War (which is basically just an old (and pretty serious) D&D campaign turned into an anime). And there's definite romance in Ragnarok the Animation (which I think leans toward drama), while I haven't found that much in the way of romance in Chaika the Coffin Princess (which is drama but also more action-focused). |

| Most of yuri and/or Shoujo-ai were boring. Only a couple title that good. |
| Love yuri Indifferent with yaoi My views on those two in a nutshell |
 |
| The most BL I've watched was Rito and Ren kissing in To Love Ru. With that said, I don't have any experience to say whether or not I like BL. And I do not believe I want to either. Romance is romance. If we're talking about serious romance animes, then it has to be well-done no matter what the gender pair is. Yuri is hot but I'd rather watch straight stuff |

| Haven't dabbled in shoujo ai or yuri much, but I know of some good titles out there I've been meaning to watch. I live for teh bl. Shounen-ai is lyfee |

| I like both boys love and girls love anime. Their subdued (shoujo) versions and the bolder (yaoi, yuri) as well. Romances I love and are unbeatable to them are "White album 2, Kuzu no Honkai, Koi to Uso and Bloom in to you". |

| Both genres are as good as watching ecchi or hentai but with gay/lesbian couples so I avoid them. I'm not a fan of overly sexualized or fetishized characters neither do I like watching them do horny things or have sex, it's the biggest put off for me. The cringy BL fanbase glorifying abuse and rape as "adorable" and "cute" is only more reason to stay away. I still might give very light shounen-ai or shoujo-ai a shot but I didn't exactly enjoy the ones others have praised. I didn't like Doukyuusei after seeing him kiss the other even after a "No" and later put his hands up his shirt in a public place no less. Then towards the end they say they know anything about each other, well duh, calm down your hormones and first try to know your partner better! I had similar issues with Yagate kimi ni naru, Nanami is basically implying "I love you but I don't want you to fall in love with me BUT I'll still be selfish enough and keep on kissing you". I get that she has some issues but I don't like what she is doing. TL;DR: When it comes to romance I prefer the typical route taking an entire season to just hold hands or confess instead of seeing the couple being horny and getting into the other's pants in 3 episodes or so (at times without consent!). BL/Yuri usually doesn't have what I want so I keep away. |

| I think Yaoi and Yuri romance shows kind of fall off after a while and become less interesting. I feel this way about romance shows in general. I find yaoi and yuri relationships in anime where it isn't the main focus to be perfectly fine and enjoyable when done correctly. |
 |
| straight guys like yuri straight girls like yaoi |
 |
| Really good ones are really rare... I haven't really watched yaoi, I should at some point. But for yuri... Yuri romance can make my heart pound, normal romance doesn't really anymore... But that doesn't mean I like it more, after all our love for the opposite gender is an additional feature to the mechanism that gets humans coupled to procreate the species, so... You get it. Yes, I'm saying that if you like a person of the same gender in a sexual way and want to have sex with them and things, those feeling are useless to their source and purpose. |

Kuraya said: Yes, I'm saying that if you like a person of the same gender in a sexual way and want to have sex with them and things, those feeling are useless to their source and purpose. Hmm, no... You don't have to fall in love with anyone to procreate. You just have to know how to use your reproductive organs, that's not difficult AT ALL. A gay man (for example) can impregnate a woman if both are in agreement about it. Lol. -- About the thread: I watched some titles from both niches and kinda like both (I'm still watching/about to watch some actually). The problem with BL is that the ones who get adapted for TV or even OVA are almost always offensive and straight up porn. But there's some good BL manga out there, I'm not an avid reader but had read a bunch out of curiosity. I didn't read any yuri yet, but I REALLY enjoy anime like Aoi Hana, Asagao to Kase-san and YagaKimi. |

Ellroy said: I didn't say that... You don't "have" to fall in love to procreate. Don't lol me... What you said is in a scenario where the humans have a logical set purpose of procreating, if that's the case a woman can get impregnated without even having sexual contact.Kuraya said: Yes, I'm saying that if you like a person of the same gender in a sexual way and want to have sex with them and things, those feeling are useless to their source and purpose.

And as you well know sexual attraction is an important part of what we call the romantic kind of love |

| Most of the BL titles that come out are hot garbage honestly. Fetish material isn't necessarily bad in and of itself but when the genre is almost exclusively consisting of that it does seem a bit alienating and it makes me yearn for a mature and grounded show that actually delves into gay relationships and struggles that come with it. |
 |
| Id rather go for yuri that is included in regular series than the yuri/shoujo ai genre itself because its full of cheap disgusting ridiculous garbage. We got one decent yuri anime last season and now we'll prob have to wait for like 3 years to get another one. |
idk why I was here but I'm prob back to playing Dragon's Dogma 2 again when you read this |
| In the words of Oberyn Martell, "Then everyone is missing half the world's pleasure. The Gods made that, and it delights me. The Gods made this...and it delights me. When it comes to war I fight for Dorne, when it comes to love...I don't choose sides." |
