| topic title basically says it all, what is one anime you can think off from a genre that you usually dislike that really stood out to you and you really enjoyed... ill go first despite my usual distaste for mecha anime i really did like Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagan on a similar note despite the fact that i am not a big fan of the gundam series i really did like Gundam Wing |
| Gungrave. Usually not a fan of watching stuff with crime / gunfights -- I find the subjects terribly boring -- but this show really hit it off with the two stellar protagonists. If you want to watch this though, please skip the horrendous first episode. Don't worry, they show it again later. Katanagatari. So talky. So much gatari and so little katana. Nevertheless, I found myself oddly drawn to the dialogue, heavy as it was. Excellent writing, imo. Sora no Manimani. School anime never particularly interest me. This one surprised. All the characters and how enthusiastic they were with their "astronomical" hobby, all the feel-good star-gazing scenes every episode, the camaraderie... hidden gem right here. |

| I'm not very fond of mecha either but I really enjoyed the FMP series! Especially the 2nd Raid! It was great of fun :) |
 |
| I normally don't like psychological anime, but Death Note was an exception. Maybe I should look more into this genre. |

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 |
| Gurren Lagann and Code Geass are starting to make me reconsider mecha, still unsure though. |
| nodame cantabile is technically a school comedy, so i suppose that's an example there. |
| I don't 'hate' the genre but it's something I have a tendency to avoid. Redline, Car and Sport genre. Don't think I have any genres I hate. |
| Ecchi+Twincest? Somehow KissxSis just worked for me... |
 |
| Mayo Chiki! - Was never a fan of comedy, but it was really funny in my opinion. xD |

| Kore Wa Zombie Desu ka I don't much ecchi stuff and definitely not harem very often. CLannad - Slice of life.. I enjoy reading them but wasn't much of a fan about SoL now i've been watching more SoL :l |

| Code Geass... it made me like mecha animes. |
| My Guitar Covers: Playlist I CAN ALWAYS SHOW MY EVERYTHING TO YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUU |
| Mecha anime. Code geass. It's not that I hated mecha Anime. But code geass made me want more |
| :) |
| When I first started off watching anime, I hated mecha genre with a passion, but TTGL changed my mind and became my favorite series of all time (potentially because I didn't think that I would enjoy it at all). Now I'm starting to enjoy Gun X Sword as well so I'm in the odd position of having to reconsider my hatred of mecha anime... |
| Harems don't exist in America. If one guy is constantly surrounded by beautiful girls, then he's probably the gay friend. |
| Was prejudiced against the mecha genre, but after watching Code Geass, meh not too shaby. Considering Gurren Lagann atm. Also, comedy anime generally don't work for me, but I found Ouran High School Host Club, to be funnier than a lot of sitcoms I've seen. |
| Aria. The only SoL anime that I can say that I really liked. |
| Korea wa Zombie Desu ka? I hate ecchi and harem, so my opinion closely echoes Morbyllan's. For once I thoroughly enjoyed the anime, even though it was still shit, it was enjoyable. Unlike.... well, I'll keep that to myself. |
| i usually hate anything to do with incest but kissXsis was... well.... im speechless |

| Macross Frontier I don't like mecha that much but since Ranka is cute then it is forgiven. Also Neon Genesis Evangelion I'm a sucker for kuuderes. |

| What has the mecha genre ever done to attract so much hate? I don't dislike any genre, that has nothing to do with me, quality counts the most after all. But I'll bite, MAL says my least favorite genre is supernatural but I like shit like Darker than Black and Mushishi. |

But I'll bite, MAL says my least favorite genre is supernatural but I like shit like Darker than Black and Mushishi. Giant humanoid machines is the most illogical and inefficient thing one could conjure. I used to like Gundam too but now I felt mechas is stupid. I used the wrong term in my previous post. Though I don't hate it but I don't like mecha either. |
| I dont like slice of life but I enjoyed Usagi Drop and K-On. |
 |
| Not a fan of horror/vampire type stories, but Shiki was beautiful. There's a lot more to the show than most people give it credit for. |
toybox said: What has the mecha genre ever done to attract so much hate? It is usually either because : 1) people think it's like Transformers or some childhood thing of theirs so they brush it off (I used to be one of these people) 2) the time when the genre was dominating more than even moe and stuff today and they got fed up with it |
| ef - a tale of memories. Generally not a fan of overly dramatic generic romance anime... but this one blighted my record by actually being pretty good. |
 |
| The Evangelion rebuilds and Fullmetal Panic. Not a fan of mecha, but I really liked these. |
mecharobot said: --Very true. And right now, I could do with a little more old school mecha and a little less moe, o.k. . . . a lot less . . . but that's just me bitching and complaining because the world isn't doing things my way.toybox said: What has the mecha genre ever done to attract so much hate?

I like "mecha" shows for the settings, political maneuvering, quasi military stuff, and relationships. In most cases, I treat mecha fights the same as any shounen battle sequence - endure it or ignore it until I can get on with the story. Interestingly, I hardly remember Full Metal Panic! as a "mecha" show. |

| not to kean on sporty anime but suzuka i found really interesting. also i didnt like mecha but when watching code geass and FMP it made me like the genre |
| please make my breakfast every morning for me sweet cheeks! *bowling position" |
| I usually hate the genre Ecchi but actually really liked Highschool of the Dead. Maybe it's because of the Action which is dominating the Anime a lot. |

| To add on to my original post I don't hate Mecha anime its just one of my least favorite , it has nothing to do with it being childish I just can't handle too many of the stories associated with them at one time as lisnoire stated they are usually politically and militarily inclined, I find this stuff a little boring at times but still prefer it over mindless ecchi anime, the only reason I didn't post something from that genre is that there really isn't anything it that has stood out to me personally |

fantomu said: Koi Kaze was beautiful, I think. Lol, I didn't realize it was about incest until half of episode 3. *facepalm* it's in the synopsis ;) but appart from that it's not directly obvious it's taking that path hehe so no worry's that you didn't realize untill ep 3 :D the thing is other shows make it look wrong and just in such narow minded perspective (like most of society looks at it) but koi kaze managed to show all sides of the story (and the hardships comming with it) |
| Magical girl: Puella Magi Madoka Magica. Dialogue heavy: Spice and Wolf. Ecchi: Highschool of the Dead. Still don't know why I liked HotD. |
