| Before last summer I didn't watch any horror naime as I had the notion that just giving horror tags to an anime would make it scary, but now I know I was wrong and horror became one of my favourite anime genres so far! ;) |
| I Was an avid Shonen watcher (Yu Yu Hakusho, Shaman King, Bleach). Now I don't really enjoy mindless action, I like more dialogue/character-driven shows. |
 It’s okay to look back at the past, just don’t stare too long |
| I want to watch almost any anime I see a sexy pic/gif of now, instead of looking for only the most porntastic. |
 |
| When i grow i like shounen n action anime. Now i prefed cgdct n sol with supernatural. |
 Try reading Spy x Family Manga ^_^ U will love it, i promise... |
| Well, I discovered that I'm attracted to guys, especially Anime guys, so I ventured into BL, and all-boy Anime. |
 |
| Not really much for me, Im still big on the whole shounen theme series but my taste in anime has grew, I wasn't into SoL, romance, mystery and psychological shows but now I am into them as well and probably some more. Im also more into the Seiyuu playing the characters and the direction of a show, as well as the animation being a big factor in some of the shows I watch. |
  |
| My tastes haven't exactly changed, but my standards have, at least with certain genres |
 |
| When I was a kid I used to think the idea of sexual comedy/ecchi was dumb and if you wanted sex you should just watch porn. Now I think good ecchi is fantastic, and trying to remove sexualization from comedy is puritanical and awful. I enjoy a realistic SoL these days, and get bored by standard fantasy/adventure with something like power levels. Most action scenes bore me now unless they're ridiculously over the top or theres realistic weight to the violence. |

| To barely keeping up in the late 2000's, to wanting to keep up in the early 2010's, and to saying "Fuck it" and not caring about keeping up at all since the mid 2010's. |
 |
| I've grown tired of typical Plot Armor Shounens. Now, I like Intellectual animes, Psychological Animes, Blood and Gore, Comedy and MYSTERY most of all. -The reason why Shounen's nowadays are shit is because they are all Cliche as hell. Hero this Hero that, I wanna go to such and such to Defeat the bad guy, Same silly humor as every shounen. Im losing in the fight, Flashback, Determination. We win. Its not really enjoyable anymore. Other Genres CAN be Generic too. However, Shounen's have it THE WORSE when it comes to actually being unique. |
 |
| Once upon a time I thought harems were funny. Now I hate them with a fiery passion. Other than that I've remained the same since I was 10. Literally |
| I used to watch mainstream shonen a lot as beginner, not so much now. I mostly watch slice of life shows nowadays. |
 |
| Uh... Not really. Okay I don't really watch long running shounen anime unless they are good. Rn I've only got Gintama. Other than that I still love my SoL, CGDCT, mecha, comedy, and ecchi anime like always. |
 |
| Beginning (2005-2009): (Mahou) Shoujo/Ecchi/Sports/Romance Midway (2010-2015/2016): (Mahou) Shoujo/Ecchi/SoL/Historical Nowadays (end 2016-present): Pretty much the same as midway, but I also got more interested in the Space theme and Sci-Fi/Mecha. |
   |
| When I started watching regurarly, it was mostly ecchi because you see all those "interesting" amv's on youtube. That was a good decade ago. After a while that changed to me just watching anything, for a good 7 years now. |
 |
| Not really, I like a huge variety of things and still do after all these years... |
| Well, There was a time I enjoyed SAO and Seven Deadly Sins. Now, I just think both are bad. For SDS its just fails to make me laugh nowadays. |
| Go check out my latest review: https://myanimelist.net/profile/YeeYeeAss/reviews |
| I have been watching as its own medium pretty much for over a decade now and i can defiantly tell you my tastes have changed since than. I used to think every anime was great and i loved every one of them but than slowly over time i started to find the common tropes, learn to tell the difference from bad writing to good writing. What genres i prefer, what particular shows i wanna watch. It just comes down to experience, i still have a preference to certain genres of anime but there a wide variety of shows i watched that effected me differently. |
| My taste haven't changed much; Just my love for SoL/CGDCT/mahou shoujo shows grows more in the recent year |
| When I first got into anime I only watched dark, edgy stuff. Horrors, thrillers, anything gory. Now I've branched out, I'll watch and enjoy pretty much any genre. I still avoided sports anime until quite recently, but now I can appreciate that too. |
| Nothing changed much. But I do feel those anime with school settings is not for my cup of tea anymore, maybe because I can't relate to them. But nevertheless I still can enjoy them if I managed to pay no mind about it and only focus on the story which is a bit rare in my case. |

| I think for me it's a mixture of this: FlowersInTheRain said: My taste hasn't changed at all. I have simply become more tolerant of the things that annoy me. ...and also that I've gradually figured out more about what my tastes are -- often by running into series that come close but are just off from what I want. That doesn't mean that I don't like them though. I legit enjoy many of these narrative experiences anyway. |
| Avatar character is Gabriel from Gabriel DropOut. |
| My tolerance for high school melodramas and harams has just about completely faded, since they are all the same show. Somehow I still enjoy the repetition of cute girls sol shows. |
 I can see you |
| I used to love watching - shoenen - Mecha - Action Now I enjoy - Slice of life - Fantasy or Isekai - Comedy Every other genre is just Meh. |

| I'm a lot less likely to watch something just because I like the way one or more of the characters look. Though I still do that with ecchi series because what's the point in watching those if you don't find at least one of the characters attractive. Also I'm not strictly an action fan anymore, though the bulk of what I watch still tends to lean in that direction. |
| Not much has changed, but I feel like I've grown more open to anime that I wouldn't have given a chance back in the day. Now I have access to a much more vast list anime that I wouldn't have in the past because I judged them before giving them a chance. I'm glad this happened because some great experiences would never have happened if it weren't for this change. That and I've grown much more impatient with fanservice and ecchi shows in general. I still have some I like, but that kind of humor has grown really stale to me over the years. |
 |
| Hasn't change that much, i just become more open about what i would watch and give a try to pretty much anything. Only considerable change i can think of is that i use to avoid long shows (50+ episodes) or genres like sports or historical just because i wasn't very familiar with any show of those genres until i decided to give them a try. |
 |
| I used to like Sword Art Online. Now I love Sword Art Online. |
 |
| I used to like yaoi manga/anime more as a teen. I'm kinda viserally repulsed by it now. Too many sickening tropes like rape stuff. There's a few I like but it's too much trouble to sort. The doujinshi are still fine though. :^) |
| I've Switched From The Flash RPG Elemented Isekai's Like SAO Or Log Horizon I've Switched To Story Driven Animes Like Cowboy Bebop Or Monogatari Series.. |
  To Enjoy Everything, No Matter What |
| Didn't change at all. I always loved fantasy/magic+action/adventure with interesting plot (thats also one of reasons why I started with anime because anime is best in my preferable combination in quality and also quantity) |
| Used to avoid cute girl shows and slice of life stuff. Now I have an affection towards a few of them. Also enjoy certain shows more upon rewatch and am more harsh on shows I didn't really like. But I guess that happens eventually when you watch enough shows... |
 |
| I used to be into Slice of life mostly but now im into Shonen and Dramas.-J |
| I have gone from loving only shonen to now being able to enjoy any genre and any show if said show has interesting characters/premise/world/situations, etc. Honestly, I think I've seen at least one show from any genre, I think..... Obviously I prefer wholesome more but at the same time I do enjoy harems and excessive fan service. |
 |
| I started off watching action packed anime such as Naruto, Blue Exorcist, and Parasyte. Then my freshman year of high school, I had first seen my ecchi anime, Highschool DxD. During that time, I tried to watch shows similar to that like Trinity Seven and To Love Ru. But now, I hit a phase for watching sports anime. I binged Eyeshield 21 this summer and tried to find other sports anime. Luckily, I came across Diamond no Ace and now I just caught up to the third season at this point |
