| I am wondering if you've ever met people that have the same taste as you and realized that you both see life with the same perspective. |
 anime list ◆ favourites | slipfunc - stay the night krytm - away |
| People's taste in any form of entertainment does, to some degree, say something about their personality, but I wouldn't say it "says a lot" I'm curious what kind of personality someone would think I had just from my anime list, lol. Would their guess be spot on or completely off? Who knows? |

| To an extent, it may, but it does not at all be 100% accurate |
 |
| Eh maybe in some cases but I don't think you should even try to deduce a persons personality simply from their taste in anime. For example, I love tons a very violent shows like JoJo or Invincible but I hate any form of altercations in real life. |
 |
| To a certain extent but a lot of people have pretty broad taste. Im a huge Fate and AOT fan but I say I dislike action, I say I like isekai but think Re:zero is mid. If someone only watches gory, dark anime and rates them all really high then they might be a bit edgy. But just to test, i'd like to see someone go through my list and try and guess my personality. |
| I gave up on character of the week since it takes too much thinking. I'll just change my forum pfp to whoever I want every week lol. |
| Not really. People who share the same values as shown in a certain anime will most likely enjoy it more than someone who has dissimilar values. So you might be able to deduct some of their personal values or beliefs off what they like, but that’s really it. It’d be impossible to gauge all their values and to figure out how they act on a day to day basis. |
 |
| For me it would be yes because I choose most of my faves based on how it connects to me personally and I find it fitting with me. So I also expect the same when I see other people favorites. |
  |
| "Does a person's taste in anime say a lot about their personality ?" I think so...but analysing tastes is not an easy task. You need way more information than "your top 10 anime of all time", not to mention people tend to be biased towards other people's taste - "Oh, he/she likes/dislikes X, he/she must be an idiot!". It's way easier and faster just to talk to this person. "you've ever met people that have the same taste as you and realized that you both see life with the same perspective" Never. |

| Yes, if we don't have a similar taste in anime then your personality sucks |
| Anime is overrated |
| Some of them yes and some of them are not. For me my taste is based on mood and interesting, like I want watch Romance, so I search it until I found the anime that make me interesting. |
  What Does Pot of Greed do?  |
| Yes. For instance, the kind of taste with blatantly serious and 'elitist' stigmatized anime pervading all the high ratings means you're insecure. As a not-so-accurate generalization, you can take this however you want. It's not something too condemnable or even irrational for someone to be concerned about what everyone would appear to disregard, taste. But it happens, and it happens a lot, subconsciously or not. I've seen dudes from this site that I can immediately tell even before looking which anime is highly rated on their list, and this is even more applicable for film list. Though this has nothing to do with the point. |
| . . . |
some kinda yes, some absolutely not. i don't think we can generalize like that. |
| Well, I think you can make assumptions about the person personality based on the shows they like and dislike. But it doesn't mean that this person is actually like that. |
| You can't really generalize, but I would lie if I said I don't have prejudices whenever I see a user with the standard pretentious weeb starter pack favorites. His forum posts can reinforce my impressions. There's also the LN novel guy with waifu's in his favorites who loves to shit on battle shounen xD |

| It literally says fuck all. Some consumption can sometimes be stratified by class (haute cuisine) and thus you can maybe you can draw some vacuous conclusions about how certain classes have certain traits by proxy of their privilege, but really for anime there's nothing reliable you can draw upon. |
| It definitely says something. Not everything, but you can kind of guess what type of person they are |
 |
| I think it's possible for one's taste to say something about them. Not always, but it can be possible. For example, @Crow_Black and I have similar taste in anime and video games and we both have a somewhat depressing view on life lol |
 |
| Maybe yes, maybe not. It probably depends on the anime and the person themselves |
 |
| Yeah, if a person has some old anime in their favorites you can instantly tell they’re an old head |
 |
| I don't think so because I love battle shounen and rom coms but I'm heavily introverted. But I love characters that I relate to so it's impossible to generalize. |

| Yeah, maybe, I like anime that may not be too popular because I like to do my own thing instead of what other people do, or watch, so I guess that may reflect my personality. |
| its not always the case obviously but ye the saying birds of a feather flock together applies |
| I think you can tell a little about the person but not anything deep. People often forget that context always plays a huge part in ones rating of a show, thats why some animes hit deep to some people and not for others |

| I've been wondering about that for a very long time. |
| その目だれの目？ |
| i think it just depends on the person, sometimes i can tell a little bit about them as a person by looking at their favorite anime, but sometimes i can't tell anything about them. |
| In some cases, I believe so. What someone’s taste definitely tells you above all, is the person’s interests. |
| I belive it does to a degree, rather than the actual taste though it's why they like a certain anime, which characters do they like, dislike, can relate too, these are things that can say a lot about someones personality, specificly parts of their personality that might not be so obvious |
| What debating with DigiCat is like according to APolygons2 That's why I thought a discussion would be pointless. It doesn't feel like a debate. It feels like I'm playing chess and somehow lose to an uno reverse card after loosing all my monopoly money lol |
| I don't think so, yeah you can judge a person on their anime favorites, but your own biases play into it a lot. If someone likes SAO, and you don't, you'll be like "This guy has a shit taste, therefore a shit person." meanwhile that person can have a completely different reason for liking it such as visuals or the concept or whatever. So no, I don't think you can judge anyone based on their favorites. |
 |
| Well, if your favorite anime are Boku no Pico and Shoujo Ramune, and if your favorite mangas are Geiger Counter, Mii inside the box and Emergence you are a weirdo and a pedophile so I guess a person's taste can say a few things about their personality yeah (Emergence is not loli/shota ikr but I wanted to add it here) And don't ask me why I know these things O.o |

Interesting take, though i do want to clarify i don't think shit taste=shit personality, regardless if you like a specific anime or not, what's interesting to me, and this is from my own observations, is that certain types of people are attracted to certain types of stories and characters, that does not in any way mean they'll like every anime with that similar plot or that 2 similar people will like the exact same anime, but i guarantee you the basic story and character arcs of the 2 anime will be very similar even if told in completely different styels |

| Idk it would be an interesting thing to do some sort of research about it crossing both anime taste and personality tests to see if there is a relation. As a more for fun thing, it would be also interesting to see if MBTI dumbass test and anime favorites have some sort of relation, like a clustering or some shit, but that would be a chore to do |

| I think maybe slightly as a heuristic, but only a pretty weak one. In my own experience, even fans of one particular anime can run a pretty broad spectrum of personalities, and certainly when you see that someone likes a bunch of different ones I don't think that tells you a ton about them. I'm always cautious of things that claim to be able to predict a person's personality from just a few things about them, and I really don't think it works like that. People are too complex for that to actually work. |

| If you ever watched some Anime YouTubers you would already know that no, your taste does not define your personality. |

He was also in a few Mario manga (and bizarrely also a Sonic the Hedgehog manga) Nowi was in both the Fire Emblem Awakening manga anthology and the Fire Emblem Heroes webcomic, whereas Nah was just in the webcomic |
My greatest contribution to this website: |
| Yes, for example if someone likes No Game No Life then they are probably a pedophile. |
 |
| On a superficial level, sure. Like, if someone's really into ecchi I'm gonna assume they're a sexual person on some level just like I can expect romance fans to generally be sentimental. |
Take care of yourself |
| Using a metric based on a personal taste when it comes to anime can't really be quantified... But if all a person is watching is "Hentai", then there is an extremely high probability they are a complete pervert. lol |
