Which genres are most heavily represented in your favorites list? And which are nowhere to be found?
| Out of my top 10 No ecchi or harem and only one school. Not bad. |

| I first though that my top 20 would be easily dominated by shounens with 9 entries until I realize that I had 11 dramas in there. Comedy also has 9 followed by fantasy and scifi both at 5. The genres that surprised me with how low they were in comparaison are mystesry 4, SoL 3, ecchi 2. |
| i dont even know why spent 5 minutes on this but im not that surprised tbh Comedy - 2 Mystery - 2 Romance - 2 School - 2 Slice of Life - 2 Sci-Fi - 2 Supernatural - 1 Military - 1 Space - 1 Drama - 1 Action - 1 Magic - 1 Fantasy - 1 Psychological - 1 Horror - 1 Seinen - 1 |

| So based on my top 6 anime on my profile it's: Action - 4 Adventure - 2 Sci-Fi - 2 Thriller - 1 Mystery - 1 Supernatural - 3 Drama - 1 Comedy - 3 Shounen - 2 Romance - 1 School - 1 Demons - 1 Martial Arts - 1 Space - 1 Guess i'm a sucker for action/supernatural and comedy even though i like mystery and sci-fi more than those last two. |
 |
| This is according to MAL's genres (i'd give some bit different genres): Comedy - 6 Action - 5 Drama- 5 Supernatural - 4 Fantasy - 3 School - 3 Seinen - 3 Slice of Life - 3 Magic - 2 Sci-Fi - 2 Sports - 2 Mecha - 1 Military - 1 Mystery - 1 Psychological - 1 Super power - 1 Thriller - 1 |
| According to mal action, drama 6 SF 5 Mecha, psychological, mystery, military, adventure 3 police, fantasy, comedy, romance 2 Dementia, supernatural, thriller, superpower, magic, music, slice o life 1 Kinda weird that I don't have ecchi and romance is lacking. Weird how mal gave a sol tag to noein, if noein has one, eva deserves it too lol. |

| Comedy 7 Fantasy 5 Ecchi 4 Romance 4 School 4 Shounen 4 Action 3 Adventure 3 Harem 3 Magic 3 Supernatural 3 Drama 2 Parody 2 Slice of Life 2 Demons 1 Game 1 Military 1 Mystery 1 Seinen 1 Super Power 1 My favourite is comedy, which isn't really surprising. If it can get a good laugh out of me, I'll like it. Though my average rating of comedy anime is rather average. Fantasy is 2nd, also not surprising to me. I enjoy anime in a fantasy world better than in our world, just more possibilities. My average rating for fantasy shows is pretty high. Ecchi is also pretty high up in the list, but my average rating of ecchi shows is actually the lowest lol |

too lazy to check fav specific , so here is overall. https://anime.plus/DesolatePsyche/favorites,anime |
 |
| Action - 4 Sci-Fi - 5 Comedy - 5 Parody - 1 Dementia - 1 Psychological - 1 Mecha - 4 Military - 2 Music - 1 Romance - 5 Space - 1 Mystery - 2 Supernatural - 2 Vampire - 1 Police - 1 Seinen - 1 Adventure - 2 Drama - 3 Historical - 1 Slice of Life - 1 Sci-Fi, Comedy, and Romance I guess, although I don't believe in statistics or think that MAL's genres are super accurate (Bakemonogatari, a literal metaphor for psychological disorders not having the psychological tag, Nadia not being a mecha even though it has multiple great and prominent mechs,...). My actual favorites though: Mecha, Sci-Fi, Adventure, Psychological Might as well do the mangos: Action - 6 Adventure - 3 Comedy - 4 Fantasy - 2 Shounen - 7 Super Power - 2 Supernatural - 1 Drama - 3 Slice of Life - 3 Psychological - 3 Seinen - 2 Mystery - 2 Mecha - 1 Sci-Fi - 3 School - 1 Horror - 1 Shounen's spot-on, though I'd add Adventure, Seinen, Comedy, Sci-Fi, and Horror |
| Not going to bother counting, but taking a quick look through my favourites, I'll list the most common ones, excluding one-offs, in this order: 1. Comedy 2. Action, Adventure 3. Fantasy, Shounen I'd say that's a pretty accurate representation of the genres I watch and like the most in general. |
| Thank God for malgraph to make it really easy for me. Most favorite: 1) Super power 2) Shounen 3) Adventure Least favorite - Harem - School - Romance Seems about right... |

I have a serious dearth of Josei as well (nothing in my favorites and so much so that I believe I only have seen two shows out of all my total entries with the Josei tag; one of which I'm puzzled as to why it's even Josei). |
| This list was made from myanimelist favourites (10 animes): Fantasy - 10 Action - 10 Supernatural - 5 Romance - 4 Adventure - 4 Shounen - 4 Magic - 3 Drama - 3 Demons - 2 Super Power - 2 Game - 1 Military - 1 Mystery - 1 Horror - 1 Harem - 1 Ecchi - 1 |
| MAL tags are pretty crap at times but whatever School - 6 Comedy - 5 Romance - 5 Yuri / Shoujo Ai - 4 Drama - 3 Fantasy - 3 Shounen - 3 (should be 2 as one is a LN adaption) Adventure - 2 Ecchi - 2 Game - 2 Harem - 2 Psychological - 2 Action Hentai Horror Magic Mystery Seinen Slice of Life Supernatural Missing everything else obviously |

I actually had the same with a manga I read recently (Kagerou Daze). I thought it was pretty Shounen-esque, but maybe that was because it somewhat reminded me of Noragami. In any case, calling it Josei seems weird to me. Anyway, back on topic. It could take me a while with my current watching pace, but if I find a great Josei, I'll definitely let you know. :) |
| Comedy 6 Shounen 6 Adventure 4 Supernatural 3 School 3 Romance 3 Action 3 Super Power 3 Sci-Fi 2 Slice of Life 2 Drama 2 Fantasy 2 comedy on top is a bit surprising. I like comedy, but this much ? interesting. |

Mapi32 said: Now I like to watch mostly Drama combined with Slice of Life where I can empathize with the main character in a realistic story. Drama4Life @WatchTillTandava I didnt even have to read your post to know that you like drama with that profile pic from our innocent angel from Koi Kaze. Naturally! A fellow of fine taste. Judging by your above quote about current preferences, I can see why you're a Koi Kaze fan as well given it's the epitome of fabulous drama/romance with emotional intensity + Slice of Life + maximum realism. The sole disappointing thing about such great anime experiences is that they're so singular and so elusive, like a critically endangered species of one. There have been dramatic series I wish had more of a SoL feel - at least for the setting, or for some episodes or scenes. And likewise there have been SoL I wish had a little bit stronger character development/character relationships and a dose of drama. When the two combine, magic happens. Chrizzl said: comedy on top is a bit surprising. I like comedy, but this much ? interesting. Could also be a result of the overuse/abuse of the comedy tag by MAL, which I and others have commented on. Series with plenty of what would conventionally be understood as drama don't have a Drama tag, but many series with even a few comedic scenes or a minor amount of comic relief receive a Comedy tag, so it gives a false impression if people were viewing the genre tags the way they are used for Western movies. |

| Action - 7 Fantasy - 6 Military - 5 Shounen - 4 Drama - 4 Supernatural - 4 Adventure - 3 Super Power - 3 Mystery - 2 Magic - 2 Horror- 2 Seinen - 2 Thriller - 2 Sci-Fi - 2 Demons - 2 Comedy - 1 Vampire - 1 Romance - 1 |
| Pretty much what i expected. Romance being the top one. Slice of Life - 2 Comedy - 2 Supernatural - 1 Drama - 3 Romance - 4 School - 1 Action - 1 Adventure - 1 Fantasy - 3 Historical - 1 Dementia - 1 Demons - 1 Seinan - 1 |
| From the ones i have in favorites on my profile Sci-Fi - 4 Thriller - 1 Military - 2 Drama - 3 Romance - 3 SoL - 3 Comedy - 5 But in general i really like Sci-fi Thrillers, Psychological/Dementia or a simple comedy, but i don't stick just to them And i don't count Shounen, Seinen and Shojo as genres |
| Shonen action represented 99% of my list. I don't like romance or slice of life so those genres are nowhere to be found in my list |
| Mine have Action - 6 Drama - 6 Adventure - 4 Supernatural - 4 Fantasy - 3 Comedy - 2 Historical - 2 Mystery - 2 Shounen - 2 Super Power - 2 Actually really surprised there were so few shounen tags cause I tend to be shounen trash. And only one slice of life, which is something I thought I watched a lot of. I also hate comedy, so finding it twice is surprising |
| Comedy - 9 School - 6 Seinen, Slice of Life - 4 Supernatural - 3 Fantasy, Music, Romance - 2 Adventure, Demons, Drama, Ecchi, Magic, Parody, Psychological, Shounen - 1 This also includes series from which fave characters are in. |
 |
| 5 of Romance 4 of Mystery School Slice of Life Comedy 3 of Psychological Sci-fi Supernatural 2 of Drama Seinen 1 of Shoujo Ai Ecchi Harem Horror Action Fantasy Adventure Not sure how accurate this is to my tastes. Defintely romance at the top makes sense. But if I were to choose five from this list as my favourite tags, right now I would say: Romance Shoujo Ai Seinen Mystery Horror |
