| i wouldn't say it's all that unique. i watch it for enjoyment. however, there are shows i'll find boring but will continue to watch anyway for the sake of it as long as it has little things i like about it. |

| How unique is my taste? If I judge that on how many profiles I see whith high affinity to me, it's not particularly unique. Anyone who has a mean score below 7 has a good chance having 60+% affinity to me. But I think affinity is not a good measure. It doesn't account for how important certain titles to people. On can hate anothers favorites and like what the first hates the most and still have a decent affinity. It also doesn't account for the reasons someone likes or dislikes something. So if I measure uniqueness as how many people appreciates the same things the same way I do, then there are a couple of people, but still my taste will be completely unique to me. Do I watch for fun or a greater purpose? I'm not an influencer or a researcher. I don't even want to be one. |

| Anime is entertainment media. So aside from the obvious entertainment value as well as those who are addicted to it, is there any other purpose? |
| Best ending line in anime history = "My name is Saiki Kusuo. I am a psychic." |
| not unique. I'm a normie. I watch for fun. |
| There is no "ultimate goal" of watching anime other than to have fun. Sure, there are different ways one can attain enjoyment but the purpose will always be to be entertained. For some, flashy and cool looking fight scenes will suffice, others may fancy a more visceral tale that appeals to their emotional side and there are people who find the very act of analyzing and breaking down components of a show that make them feel a certain way enjoyable, even if they didn't necessarily liked the show. Whether you're a casual watcher, a self-proclaimed critic, a so called "elitist" or anything in-between the endgoal is enjoyment. |
 |
| Basically I'll try anything so long as it has some kind of action,sci-fi, supernatural or fantasy element to it. This sometimes leads me to watching genre that a lot of people seem to want to avoid like harem, ecchi and mecha. |
| It think to have an unique taste.I mean all of my friends have a completly different taste that don't come close to mine at all I watch anime for fun,I never watched something I didn't liked just because most of the people think it's good |

| My taste is so unique, I am not a pleb who likes Anime like Mushishi and Monster. |
| Considering how easy I seem to fall in love with random stuff nobody seems to care about, I guess my taste has to be pretty unique. |
| I watch Anime for shits and giggles. And plot, can't forget about that. |

In short: It is boring, slow, stretched out and the villain gets no development and barely appears for most of the time. |
| i can tell you for certain, i didn't start watching anime to acheive enlightenment. initially i enjoyed magical battles. and to this day i still enjoy action and what one could consider a 'fun' or lighthearted anime. |
| the official MAL hall of fame/cursed comments is now open for business - you are welcome to PM me any potential quotes to include |
| Nope. I don't have an unique taste and I like it that way. Not being able to share some same opinions with someone else is a bit boring and lonely. I watch anime mainly for the fun. Not for a higher purpose like boosting my intellect or something like that. Seriously, I don't get why so many people think that their taste is a measurement of their intellect lol. |
| i dont think it very unique, i watch anime that are considered fairly popular or at least pretty well known. I watch to kill boredom, sadness, seriousness. I watch so I say I can have a hobby even though it's not the most masculine hobby. I watch so I can have something to enjoy with a potential future friend or romantic interest. |
| Only for fun. :D Watching and then rating. :) |
| Well, I'm 0.7 below MAL's average mean score for users which means no, I'm not unique other than being a tiny bit harsher with my ratings. Also I am a just a hero user for fun. |

IpreferEcchi said: It's a two-part question, and you can respond to both or just one. I'm still trying to influence others to watch neglected anime, but I recognize the NECESSARY EVIL of somewhat keeping up with current stuff. And I have some secret projects (blog posts) I'm watching anime for. I'm not making the blog posts until I have enough content. for fun! I don't watch anime to accomplish anything just when I'm bored I wanna watch a show. And sometimes I feel like watching an anime so I watch an anime, no different with any other type of entertainment. |
| you're cool |
| I'm not sure if my taste is unique. I watch each show for a different reason. seasonals out of boredom or looking for the next exciting ride. some simply because somebody recommended it. my personal interest lies in cyberpunk, horror and gore but there aren't many like that esp. nowadays. I've started watching shows that influenced evangelion for the hell of it. I've stockpiled a ton of 80s, 90s ovas because of the animation quality and shading. the latest shows I picked up were two precure ones. "this mc looks cool, I wonder what the show is like." "they have swords, how bad can it be?" those were the reasons. |

| I wouldn't really consider myself to have unique taste in anime, I guess because I don't really see myself as a special snowflake, but hey take from this whatever you will. |
| Bury me in some fashion, in something fashionable. |
| I'd say very unique. Or maybe "random" is the correct word to describe it. |
| Idk if this is unique but I can watch anything. Yuri, Yaoi , Reverse Harem, Male Idols. Anything. If I didn't like a genre in the past, I started watching shows to develop feelings for it and it worked. Its hard for me to dislike good ratied shows because I don't have a unique taste if its enjoyable I will like it, even if the whole anime is a dude watching paint dry. I also like watching non popular shows. Idk I have a lot completed but I'm still missing some big dawg anime. I like watching weird stuff |
| Anime taste...? MMMMMMMMMMMMMHH... Idk if it's strange or not... I mean I love things like Naruto but at the same times I also likes anime that no one cares about (Like Zero No Tsukaima which is my favorite anime). But if we talk about taste in genre is pretty simple, I like action isekai ecchi with romance development and battle shonen so the usual things. I watch everything to. Except shonen ai and yaoi, I mean, I don't have nothing against it but I don't like it. About the second question: Pretty good argument in my case. Ofc, first of all, I watch anime because it's fun. While some years ago I would just said this, actually there are lots of reasons now. I watch them because they are basically one of the few things that make me feel something. I can't feel emotion by a movie, and that's the motive why Im just a fucking weeb who doesn't do anything else about animemangalightnovelsjrpgshentaigachagamesanimesubredditslisteningtojpoporjrock etc. And then, there is also another one. I always struggled for finding my dream some years ago. Even if I was a little brat (and Im still just a kid since Im 15) I always searched for something to do. After years of searching, when I was still a normie but I watched some anime, I thought "What if I try to work in Japan as an animator"? Hell, I was a sweety, I really thought to become an animator in Japan holy shit I will shoot my balls now instead of something like that. But still, that one made me realize with some time my true dream, which is indeed work in Japan, but as an illustrator and maybe as a mangaka (I want to start with simple illustration tho). So after this long af comment, yeah, I watch anime also because anime isn't just a passion or a hobby for me, but also a goal and a dream. btw pardon my sad lexicon but Im not native. |

| Just for fun and I don't care if the act is evil or not. |
Who is the strongest protagonist  |
| I'm watching for fun, but when I start it's already done. oO |
| My taste is quite standard, I like shounen, action, psychological, comedy etc. but there are some yaoi shows in my list, too. That's still not very unique though. I watch anime just for fun and when I feel like it. It loses it's meaning if I'm trying to watch something by force and because 'I have to'. |
 |
| My taste probably ain't that unique, unless you count watching dubbed hentai for laughs. I watch a lot of bottom-of-the-barrel trash hoping to find something funny, weird or shocking, but I also seek out shows that stay with me and keep me thinking after they're over, or just to completely draw me into another world. |
 |
| I watch pretty much everything. Whatever seems interesting and create emotions is good enough for me. |
