I sometimes wonder if I'm wierd for liking really varied anime... (`・ω・´) For example I like Berserk (A medival dark-fantasy story where demons are killing... Well, everything) and then I could go and watch Lucky Star or something haha! I'm not the only one... Am I? (・_・?)

i do by far have one of the most diverse tatses

Yeah, I knew that. But what I was wondering about was a drastic difference in genre. ∩( ・ω・)∩

I think the only people who are truly picky about what they watch are either young/new to anime, or old/jaded. Yeah, I realize that is a terribly biased statement that someone will claim is wrong. I'm just throwing it out there.

I'll watch anything. If it is well done, I'll watch it. If it has a premise that interests me, I'll watch it. Overall I probably churn through episodes faster in some genres, but that doesn't mean I like them more. Keeping things varied keeps me interested.

Detroit Metal City. Toriko.
I like 'em both. They aren't similar in any way.

Big shounen fan, though.

Perfect Blue. Chi's sweet home.

Cowboy Bebop. Ichigo Mashimaro.

Grave of the fireflies. Azumanga Daioh.

And so on... Yes, I think I can say my taste is varied. In fact, I like to experiment with stuff, and try different things.

Depends in what way. Genre wise, I guess. I'm a fan of mecha but I'll easy tolerate magic or fantasy themes, as well as some moe here and there, romance and supernatural themes.

Even within a series my tastes are sort of a combination of every fanbase..

That's not weird at all...I myself am a huge fan of Berserk (Guts is one of the most amazing characters I've encountered) and other anime like Ghost in the Shell, Ergo Proxy, Cowboy Bebop etc...but then again I find myself enjoying Ouran, Sekaiichi and I admit it, Fruits Basket too...oh yeah, and I watched every last of the Sailor Moon episodes a few months ago (or was it a year ago, I can't tell anymore 0_0)...but that was more because of melancholy...

I'd say my taste are pretty varied.

Stuff I really, really like


Stuff that's fine/o.k.


Stuff I generally don't care for (There are exceptions to every "rule")
I really don't mind some ecchi and fan service but when it's over done and repetitive to the point that it masks the story, or there really isn't a story, I'm done.

It's nice to enjoy anime of many different kinds. Old, new, shounen, shoujo, moe, realistic, avant-garde, mainstream, dark, lighthearted, mature, childish, optimistic or not, they all have something to offer to those who want it. I do not think there is a genre or style of anime from which I could not find something to enjoy.

My tastes are really varied as well. I watch anything that catches my interest and if it is well made, I like it.

I'm mostly biased against slice-of-life anime since I only enjoyed a couple of series in that genre.

I confirm that, since I am both picky and relatively new to anime. Although not picky in the choice of genre, but currently very picky regarding the anime itself. I think I like a lot of different genres though.

As for the thread, I'll pretty much go with anything as long as it isn't straight up porn. Sis-con kind of freaks me out because I have two sisters, so I get uncomfortable.

I'll watch just about anything. I like being well-rounded when it comes to anime. If I avoid certain anime because of the genre it is, I'd be missing out on some of the classics (I still do it every now and then, though. ^_^V).

I tend to have a strong preference for dark shoujo series with supernatural elements, but I have also enjoyed a variety of genres: action/adventure, mystery, horror, historical, sports, comedy, etc.

I'd watch anything with a good story or characters that I can either relate to or have interest in. Unless it has yaoi in it, I'm fine with anything.

Nah you aren't weird. ^_^ I've switched between Fate/Zero and Tomodachi. One is about magical beings fighting and killing each other's summoners to win a magical relic and one is about making friends. Don't worry about it.

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me

So is that like when tits bleed, or do you just like them to be equally present but separate. (Dibs on the Bleeding Tits band name).

I can enjoy anime in every genre simply because every genre has its gems, and of course due to my mood too. I think the more varied your taste is, the more opened mind you are, it also makes your rating less biased than ppl who are too picky about what they like.

I try to watch a bit of everything. Even with genres and types that I'm not really big on right now, I will eventually watch a few of those shows to see if they do anything for me.(K-ON, Aria, whatever is the new hip slice of life)

I'll watch anything but I'm not too into mecha anime.
*cough* Gundam series *cough*

Overall, it depends what I feel like watching. Like if I'm in the mood to watch hentai, I'll hentai, unless if I found one that is subtitled.
