personally yuri, i have no problems with shoujo-ais as long as the story is good just like with everything else, but i'd rather avoid lesbian sex scenes.

Voted sports because probably there ain't a more uninteresting/unwatchable type of anime than realistic sports series.

Why is dementia not an option? Common OP give us all kinds of options to vote for.

If I had to choose a type of anime that I won't watch, then the dementia genre would of course be my answer. That type of anime....IDK, just really puts my off & annoys me, giving me a headache most of the times out of sheer tediousness + their convoluted nature.

But honestly I probably still would watch some acclaimed dementia titles I haven't yet cuz I just.....seem to like watching + adding acclaimed titles to my list, I just feel like there is some value in gaining the experience of watching them as it helps us gain a better understanding of the medium in general.

As a straight male, yaoi is definitely one I refuse to ever watch and has no appeal to me or even shounen Ai. Basically anything related to boy love.

I'll even watch shoujo sometimes which is typically meant for teenage girls, since it's just romance most of the time and not much action, but even this genre I sometimes find boring too and can be unappealing to me when there's reverse harem of one girl and many guys around her.

I'm not a fan of sports in general but I watched some sports anime and they are really quite good and actually makes me interested in the characters and care about their goals. Especially Hajime no ippo since it's also fighting (boxing) so if you like shounen or any anime with fight scenes basically, you'll like a boxing anime except there's rules and a controlled space.

Ecchi as it has very little to no redeeming quality. Only half decent ecchi relies on strong humour to sell it so its mostly humour yhat makes it work and not the ecchi itself.

I find most Yaoi and Yuri to be fairly toxic - but I cannot get into sports. Never watched one, and never had an interest. The closest thing I'd probably watch is Yuri on Ice (ironic, I know), but that's as far as it gets.

Why is there two porn genre in the list...

I'm petty but they aren't even called by their real title (Shonen-ai (BL) and shoujo-ai) they are subgenres of romance anyway.


For my choice, it's harem and ecchi. I don't mind the rest even if i can't get into sports anime.

I just can't watch Yaoi.

1) It's for girls who obsess over gay men
2) I'm not gay so naturally I don't really watch much of this stuff.

Can't stand Ecchi, like why create an anime if it's entire purpose is just to be softcore porn? Why go through the effort to make something bad? Not to mention objectifying women is fairly gross.
Also hate Harem because it's just wish fulfillment for people who don't go outside, also a fairly worthless genre.


Ecchi is like gateway into hentai since most people at the start are too creeped out to just go right into it or might be too young still too.

Ecchi can be good if it's funny but it's often dumb too so of course it's going to be for most people who enjoy seeing boobs and upskirt. If this doesn't attract you then you're not going to like it.

Anime is all about wish fulfillment though tbh. It's an escapism for most. Even when I was a kid watching Pokémon as my first anime I always wished so much I can catch and see Pokémon for real. Then there's plenty of anime where people get super powers and we too wish we can get that.

Whether you stay indoors or not is irrevant. Even those who go outdoors might like a good old harem and it could be a fantasy of most guys and some girls for reverse harem, but it's not as easy to get in the real world because society doesn't allow it and accepts it as a bad thing to sleep/date many women at once.

But a person can have their fantasy through works of fiction. So just as women have their thousands of romance books with such passionate desires and unreal romantic lines and gestures that real men don't do, at least not forever, then it's perfectly fine for men to have their own unrealistic fantasies and scenarios too through works of fictions which is why ecchi and harem exist.

Also with porn/hentai people don't really stick around for the story once they are done with what they came to it for. With ecchi people who watch it will usually finish the entire anime.

I watched shows that were or had elements from all these genres, but the genres I try to avoid would be Yuri since I'm not invested at all.

Why is “hentai” not on the list? I would’ve picked that for sure! XD

For real though I’ll try just about any genre; personally it’s more about content than genre, if something’s over-the-top gory and/or has explicit nudity I won’t watch it regardless of its genre.

Not a big fan of horror, BUT I love The Promised Neverland.
Not a big fan of sci-fi, BUT I love Darling in the Franxx.
Not a big fan of sports, BUT I love Harukana Receive.
Not a big fan of really long or “yelly” shounen, BUT I love Demon Slayer, MHA, and FMAB.
I also won’t watch anything where a homosexual relationship is the main focus because I don’t get in to that. I don’t mind lesbian/gay characters that aren’t leads and contribute something to the story (like Ikuno from DITF or Midori from Tamako Market) or even a show that has a strong lesbian undercurrent (like NEW GAME! or Izetta: The Last Witch); as long as they’re not kissing or openly stating they’re homosexual I’m usually okay with it. It’s shows like Citrus that I try to avoid. That said, while lesbian is one thing, boys love I avoid at all costs unless it’s completely for comedic effect (like Kiss Him, Not Me). So Yuri on Ice is a 100% NO! XD

My choice, apparently like many others, is yaoi.

In general, I'll watch almost anything if the plot and art style seem interesting to me. But yuri, shoujo-ai, and harems (unless it's a reverse harem,) and full-on ecchi are ones I just don't even bother with. Everything else is pretty much an okay option to me.

I think people dont give yaoi a chance half the time becuase its gay. Like Given was one of the best shows I've seen and its a yaoi.

Sport anime. Just not my thing at all.

Mecha kinda too, but I found some exceptions.
Didn't find a sports one yet. And nope, neither Ping Pong nor Haikyuu will cut it for me.


Can I ask why mecha? I'm curious now.


I just don't see the appeal of big robots, that's it.

Join the club; I don't get it either. I love the military aspect of Mecha, also because one day Mecha could become reality (Isn't Japan on the sly building their own Mobile Suit in plain site by hiding it as a tourist attraction :P?). Mecha protagonist usually are ANNOYING though... Maybe that's why? You either have the happy-go-lucky lead or the stoic child-soldier lead... Then the five-man band is usually a sausage-fest with female support... Man I think I just realized why people don't like Mecha 0_0. Still one of my fav genres though.

One complaint I've seen is that the fights don't feel as personal since they aren't fighting face to face or that watching two giant robots fighting is somehow boring. I get the military aspect might be boring to some, but the fights? Never understand it..

I don't know if it's true but I think they see giant robots fighting as childish?

Yeah..I could see that. There are still plenty of people who will completely write things off just for looking too "childish".

Harem for sure.

The feeling you get when the girl you like the most doesn't get to be with mc in the end is really painful.

Also,Harem animes contain a lot of ecchi scenes too which are an eye-sore for me.
