Anime are watched by almost everyone where I come from, and I'd say its rather 50/50. However this poll is biased as most pple on MYANIMELIST are guys. AND girls are more likely to be casual fans and thus less likely to join anime communities such as this.

The forum statistics say:

Male to Female Ratio 1.3 : 1

but many persons do not specify their gender, so the ration is maybe not really true.

and people could be lying as well. from my experience though it seems to be about 50/50 overall actually. it came up once cause me and a few of my friends went to a convention for the first time and a few other friends asked if it was all just like fat guys in the 30s but it was actually pretty even distribution between male and female with probably around college age being the average

I'm Male, but so far everyone I befriended on MAL is female which led me to the assumption that the Majority of MAL is femalse. But of course that is inductive.
I probably regret this post by now.

I would think it is about even maybe with male having a slight majority, but not by much.

demography depends,but i find that most people who download and watch anime are males,while females preferably watch in tv,may be because the way content is found online,girls though not dumb are least likely to download and search for anime and also install video codecs for specific format by searching for them,and hence participate in discussions and so forth,and girls care less of voicing their view they would much rather prefer to watch anime and move on,than like guys to register in a forum and discuss

Males, but close to even, I'd think. Anime is one of the few geeky pursuits not dominated by males.

Manga may actually have a higher female than male readership.

I think it varies on which genre to be honest. But I know a lot females and males who watch it. So I can't really say which is more.

but in Japan it's males.....BY A LOT!!!

I would think it would be balanced for the most part. Although I would also imagine that there might be slightly more males that watch it, only because of all the echhi series that are targeted at them. -_-

Some real-world male-female ratios (male/female, so a value >1 means more males):

World: 1.01
US: 0.97
Japan: 0.95
Northern Mariana Islands: 0.74
United Arab Emirates: 2.19

The last 2 are the record holders for highest and lowest.

Based on the stats provided, for MAL, it would be:

1.26 based on this poll, or
1.30 based on MAL's forum statistic

So I'd say 1.3 is a fair statistic. This would indicate that anime is more male-oriented, which is also probably a fair assessment.

Sources for statistics: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_sex_ratio and this thread.

Not really sure if males or females watch anime more, but I'm a guy who watches anime.

When I randomly notice people who are interested in anime, I see a lot of both guys and girls.

males are higher right now, which was what i was predicting, but the females closer than i thought. not much of a surprise though, considering there are anime / manga which target females specifically.

people who think it's even remotely close to even, have probably never been to a Convention. The Answer is overwhelming obvious if u go to one.

80% are guys, and the majority of the females could pass for guys easily and the rest are jail bait.

Depends on the genre I guess. The only people I know personally who watch anime are female, but on the internet it's usually mostly male. Anime-style MMORPG players are usually male as well.

Bear in mind it's only the fanatics that go to cons (myself included). People who are sort of mildly interested and watch it here and there aren't likely to be seen at a con. It also depends on the con in question.

In my regular day to day, I see a vast majority of guys that watch anime. I know alot of chicks that like western comics, but I've only heard of anime loving females online. I've made a mental note to start going to anime conventions and the like just so I can meet more females that are fans(not to date, because I'm taken, but just to see them for real.)
