If it has too much ecchi or focuses mainly on romance and the story lacks because of that.
If the male main character is too much of a whiny bitch.

simple; just ask yourself "do i enjoy this... ?" if you like it then it's fine... i myself am a fan of lolicons. sometimes i ask myself if that is "okay" but in the end it all comes back to "ah, what the hell... they're just so adorable!"

if you are talking about a show that is good * except for those one scenes* then simply skip the parts you don't like...

I don't enjoy hentai, yuri, yaoi, incest, if the story has only ecchi... though I have watched a shoujo-ai and incest, but if I could, I'd never had watched these two! =( yes, I select a lot XD

I dont mind ecchi or nudity.
There is no really line for me. How i select anime is basically on how well it is drawn.

God I loved Berserk but I know what you mean, that rape towards the end was pretty crucial and emotional.

Seriously, fuck no. If I want to watch tits bounce I'll skip the cocktease and watch pr0n. Productivity and all that.

When it comes to picking... I just keep away from the hentai. Watching animated characters do the nasty just doesn't appeal to me. But that's just me. And I tend to stay away from anime that are heavily centered around ecchi, yaoi or yuri.

And then I stop watching when its shit.

yaoi/incest generally lead to me completely ignoring the anime. To much rape, to much echi with excessively young girls discourages me a lot, but doesnt always stop me.

Other than that, nothing but INSANE amounts of gore is enough to stop me being willing to watch something. I cant think of an anime I have stopped for that reason, but I am sure there are some somewhere.

Anything with boy love (yaoi) and excessive amount of fan service. Anything else is fine for me.

I usually only draw the line at stuff like scat/uro stuff, or if it has basically any females being raped, its ok if like, she's about to be, but is saved before she can be, but if there is any female rape, its done, over. Ryona will probably make me drop it also, unless this word also includes stuff where its like, say, Maken-ki, where its women martial artists fighting women martial artists, or a tournament type thing, but I don't know if that word includes that stuff also. If it does not, then Ryona would probably make me drop/not watch

Why is everyone so much against rape in anime? If it's not gratuitous or superfluous, and actually serves the story, what exactly is the problem with it being included?

Tentacle rape, OTOH, is always gratuitous and superfluous... I'd agree with that.

Im just not comfortable with seeing it. I guess thats something that I should have clarified earlier or something, but seeing rape at all will turn me off totally. If I know someone has been raped or is about to be raped but it happens totally off screen I will still be bothered, but it probably wont stop me.

Going to use some spoilers here, just as a probably not needed caution.

Its strange, because in visual novels,MLA I am thinking of here,
it didnt bother me at all, but in anime even a hint of seeing it bothers me quite a bit. Its not always enough to stop me watching, but it does generally make me want to.

As it should be.
You just can't, shouldn't, class up tentacle rape. It defeats the purpose.

I'm really picky when it comes to selecting anime and decide what I'm going to watch/not going to watch.

As for what I downright refuse to watch, usually anything that's obviously going to be a fanservice/ecchi type and has either nothing interesting going for it/know it's not going to have a great payoff.

Instead of focusing on extremities and morals, I ignore everything under a 7 on MAL. I think I've kept with that statement for a while now, at least 2 years and counting.


My opinion is my own, of course, but isn't it rather close-minded of you to automatically omit anime below a certain rating? I personally couldn't let others decide for me, what's good and what isn't.

Sexism. When an anime strikes me as straight up sexist, I drop it. No questions asked.



What do you mean by "sexist" exactly? Do you mean that you don't like when people of the opposite sex are treated differently? If so, that means that you're okay with anime involving females getting punched in the face/beat up as if they were men, right?? Cause I mean, that would be equal treatment regarding voilence..

A 7 wouldn't be bad on my scale but considering how many people overrate every single anime they watch, I tend to stay away from animes rated less than a high seven.

I tend to have swings in acceptability of anime but usually my criteria starts with good artwork, a main character who accepts his role quickly, and a starting that gets me excited.

Im kind of new to anime but one thing that gets on my nerves so far is fan service. I try to ignore fan service if I think that the story is okay in the anime but if I dont like the story and it is loaded with fan service then I would most likely drop it.

Well if you don't like fanservice, why did you give HOTD a 7?

As long as it isn't constantly being showed and it isn't like a woman's then I'm probably cool with it.

i avoid straght up yaoi, like when thats the main point of the story. when it has a diffrent story, but all the guys just end up wanting to fuck eachother, i honestly dont mind it. or traps, never mind them.
its not even the gay theme thats really the problem, i just dont like the characters most of the time.

i can really refuse to watch a series based on the style of animation, some are so horrible to me i can't stand watching them.
try to avoid slice of life, but allways end up watching a fiew every season..
but i generaly sit through the entire anime even if i don't enjoy it..
