Am I guilty for actually liking harem and isekai anime despite people claiming they're "boring" and "lame" genres? Do you feel that way as me? I seem to enjoy most harems and isekais that just made me feel like a weird person on the inside. I get so fed up with people saying they're killing the industry or that. It makes no sense at all as they're just expressing their hatred for the genres. I know people have their biases in what they say, but their biases are slowly turning into facts at this point. Does anyone here think I chose the wrong path? I know I like to watch anime of different genres but I feel like a weird person for liking harem and isekais as most people hate these kinds of anime and don't understand how peopl can enjoy them too. Is there anyone here that actually likes watching these that feels this way as me and think they're weird-minded. I feel like the only person in the entire world who likes these genres, I mean, I like anime of many genres. However, the community seems to view harem and isekai as the black sheep of anime genres.

I'm personally not a fan harem and I rarely go on to watch an isekai anime. But everyone have taste. What they like and what they don't. At least having shit taste (or what they say) is probably better then having no taste at all. At least you have personality. Don't let to mfs tell you what to enjoy and what to not enjoy. Just enjoy what you enjoy.

There's no objectively in enjoying entertainment media.

The reason there's so many harem and isekai anime nowadays is literally because they're popular. It may not seem like it, but you are in the majority in this case.

I wouldn't worry yourself over what some people say online about certain genres. Worrying over it is just gonna ruin the fun in watching anime for you.

yes it's very bad. they are the most trash genres out there. stick to action and psychological genres. real anime fans only watch these genres of animes. there's still time to change yourself, go watch lain, elfen lied, death note, paprika, perfect blue. all isekai's are trash and harem even trashier.

The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama.

Why not touch some grass, unless you're being sarcastic. Alsoz your waifu comes from an isekai anime tho.

Of course not. Isekai, i know, is pretty much the most popular genre and one of the most common to see. People do hate them but don't let them take away somehting you like.

No, it's not bad that you enjoy these genres. People are allowed to have different taste. Additionally, while the genres themselves are often criticized for being oversaturated and repetitive, there are a few stand out titles such as Re:Zero, Jobless Reincarnation, Konosuba, and No Game No Life, which do enough to differentiate themselves from standard isekai anime to become pretty popular anime despite being part of the most widely hated genre (at least, the most widely hated genre in the west. I guess they're probably pretty popular over in Japan, since they keep getting made)

Of course it's bad. As you know, taste is not subjective, and is a matter of morality. The fact that you like things that some other people don't like makes you an evil person.

For real, enjoy whatever you want. It's only a good thing being able to enjoy stuff.

100% guilty, please give up your anime-watching license immediately~

No but really, like basically everyone else in this thread has said, just watch what you enjoy. You even said it yourself: "I know I like to watch anime of different genres". And there's nothing wrong with that. I feel like when you mentioned being on the right path, you kind of implied that you want watch certain anime to make sure that you look a certain way to people checking out your profile or anime list? Like you're worried about how other people see you.

But honestly, you can't help but like what you like- watching certain shows and avoiding others just to please other people, is just going to make you miserable. That aside, I promise you're not the only one who likes harem and isekai anime- you're not a weird person for liking them at all. Different people like different genres, that's all there is to it. Don't let people control what you let yourself enjoy.




We can always go somewhere again.

No, you do you. I wish everyone loves harem isekai so the anime industry will only focus on making harem isekai, resulting in I can watch all the good shows faster because the amount of good shows is diminishing.

Just focus on enjoying what you like! No one really cares at the end of the day what you enjoy so just go for it. Sometimes I feel like that in regards to my anime taste but I remember at the end of the day I'm not hurting anyone with what I enjoy, so fuck it I'm just gonna watch what I want

If you like them individually it's bad, very bad, but if you like harem-isekai combinations like Otome Game no Hametsu Flag shika Nai Akuyaku Reijou ni Tensei shiteshimatta... you're all right because everyone knows two negatives make a positive.

To all isekai fans:-

No dude, it’s not wrong to enjoy isekai
It’s an evolutionary advantage
Ur tastes are not only able to adapt to the changing landscape but also flourishing in it
It’s a good thing don’t let the haters get to you

The haters are jobless

No, it's nothing wrong with that at all

I get a lot of aggressive responses because I love Yuri and lesbian ships in anime. But why should I care about angry homophobes? They are just pathetic, no need to waste my energy on them

Some like battle shounen, some like Drama, some like romance, some people like horror. I love cute little anime girls that are nice to each other, love each other and care for each other, and lesbian kissing,,,YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES

It might be boring for some people. But I really enjoy it so why should I care that some people are so insecure they can't handle it when others like other stuff than they do? It's ridiculous childish behavior and should be ignored. People should be free to enjoy their art even if some haters can't handle it =)

It's entertainment. If there was any part of life where other peoples opinions don't matter it would be in what entertainment you choose to watch and enjoy. I've watched my fair share of anime and isekai and fantasy are some of my favorites, even the bad ones are fun to watch to me. You do you, there is no wrong way or bad way to enjoy anime. Also you're definitely not the only person to like the genres especially isekai. They make so many of them for good reason, they sell well and people enjoy them. I mean you can see a lot of hate for Superhero movies but that doesn't stop them from making a billion dollars half the time.

If they're so boring and lame as people say why anime industry is forcing them so much? They obviously have a big fanbase and bring tons of money, especially in Japan and that's number one priority for them, not us pirates from overseas or us with 5 dollars sub on a legal streaming anime sites. Not at all, I enjoy them too, so it's not weird to watch things you like. Yeah, we only need drama, suspense, tragic ending where almost everyone dies. lol It isn't uncommon for people to hate what they dislike, it's not tied just to anime. I don't know how hating on some fan-made sites makes something fact. My advise is to just continue to watch what you like and don't pay attention to what "geniuses" say to us "weird-minded", and like I mentioned in the beginning you're definitely not the only one who enjoy them.

Well said. As an avid gamer, the isekai genre has always appealed to me. If there's one genre that's really gone stale for me, it's the magic school stuff, and even that can be done well if some thought is put into it.

Nah man, don't let the hate online get to you. If a show ~*sparks joy*~ for you, then keep watching it! Who cares about random strangers' opinions. They're probably unhappy with their lives and just taking it out on other people.

For example, I love Chainsaw Man, but I know it's popular right now to hate on it just to be edgy or whatever. But I don't let it bother me. I like it, it's my free time to do what I want, and that's that. Some people are just miserable and they're not enjoying anything, so they want to take away others' enjoyment, too.

Unless your pastime is microwaving hamsters or something, you should never let anyone talk you out of enjoying the things that make you happy. If you like Isekai and Harem then who cares what randos on the internet think. Just do you and have a good time.
