reira93 said: It's true, at least on my end. MaxY- said: You shouldn't be surprised,young grasshopper. I actually believe that guys are more into shoujo than girls are. WAT!? that'd be so cute... if it were true Granted, I haven't seen too many, but I do really like the genre. It always warms my heart to see a relationship form and whatnot. anyway i avoid mecha and shows based purely on moe(actually it has been bugging me for some time, why is moe that popular? i like cute girls too but moe..? there are other ways to create cute girls, right? btw by moe i mean the loli-moe type recently we see a lot) I don't outright avoid mecha, but I tend to do a lot more research and look a lot more closely at reviews/plot for mecha shows before I watch them. As far as the moe goes, I'm not sure what you mean by loli-moe. I have an idea, but too many people mistakenly think that loli and moe are one and the same or somehow even remotely related (which they're not), so it's sometimes too difficult to understand who is actually talking about what. Anyhow, sure, there are plenty of moe shows coming out recently, but I honestly have not seen a single one that exists solely to display the cute girls (except possibly Tamako Market). They usually try to extend some level of comedy or possibly drama to tell a story or entertain the audience (note that just because one doesn't think the comedy is funny does not make a show a moeblob, unlike what haters of shows like Lucky Star would like you to believe). Putting aside the fact that moe isn't really even a genre, a show that truly was only focused on moe would just be a cute girl walking and looking really cute for half an hour. I'd be hard pressed to find an anime that actually meets that standard of literally nothing happening except for showing off cute girls (now that would be freaking boring). Are there any examples of what the typical person thinks of as a moeblob (something that isn't always blindly parroted, like a certain show that rhymes with Play-On)? Every genre has its gems, so I wouldn't discount a show based simply on that (unless it's a hentai, but that's different). |

| Sports and Mecha i guess! Mecha beacuse i don't like the idea of 2 giant robots fighting in mid air,although i watched a few mecha here and there and they weren't that bad! Sports because i don't like the idea of sports in anime,strangely enough i love doing sports in real life! So yeah,it's not that they are bad,just there's something that makes me to avoid those anime :D |

What was so great about One Outs was that Tokuchi's knowledge could be applied to pretty much anything, not just baseball. |

| Mecha. Mecha is boring. |
| Animes with too much romance are annoying. |
| I used to HATE sport anime until Chihayafuru came out. Everyone who says sports needs to check that sht out! Surprisingly good. |
 |
| Yep, can't say I hate sports because Chihayafuru is pretty damn good. Basically just yuri. |
You do not wish to destroy others, you simply wish to destroy yourself. |
| Harem. All of them (or at least all of the ones I've watched) are absurd and extremely generic. They're fun to watch with a friend though; ridiculing the unlikable characters and numerous perverted situations makes for great comedy. |
And what if all love is an act of bravery? Could you look me in the eye and say that you are not afraid?  |
| Mecha and Sci-fi. I've never watched a Sports anime other than Kuroko no Basuke and it was pretty good. |
| Shoujo, I think it's the most boring shit ever. |

| I am important. I have a girlfriend. Check out my podcast |
| Sports (minus Ro Kyu Bu,Bamboo Blade, and maybe Free) they are kind of boring. |

| Not too fond of mecha. I'll still watch them but I tend to avoid them. |
~ El Psy Congroo~  |
| I usually avoid mecha and sports anime. Also music, even if it's some concert in an anime, I'd just skip the part. |
| Harem and ecchi stuff |

| Yaoi. Cause Im so damn homophobe. |
 |
| Not necessarily a genre, but anime that rely to heavily on dialogue and if you don't like the protagonist you'll basically hate the whole show. |

| robot and shit! -_- stupid robot -_- I dont like robot |

MEanimaniac1 said: This is why most harem/ecchi shows are destined for failure right from the get go.if you don't like the protagonist you'll basically hate the whole show. Not necessarily because the protagonist is unlikable (although that sometimes is the case), but because the protagonist isn't the main character. The story isn't about them. The story is about their experiences with various other characters of the opposite sex. And these characters of the opposite sex get all the "attention", so to speak. They get all of the development. They get backstories. They get the most vibrant characterization. They get the most screen time. They are the main characters. The writers care more about them. They have the priority when it comes to characters. But when side characters are given more priority and attention than the protagonist, the viewer automatically is more interested with those side characters, thus becoming bored of and not caring about the protagonist. And if the audience doesn't care about the protagonist, than any sort of tension or drama (i.e., anything that holds the reader's interest), involving that character is instantly dissolved. And since they are the protagonist, they are involved in every instance of drama or tension in the story. So ultimately, right from the start, the audience is destined to not give a damn about that story. I'm not saying that I have a problem with secondary characters getting development, but when the "main" character has significantly less development, or the audience cares significantly less about them than the other side characters, that character shouldn't be the main character. The ones with the most development should be the main character. Actually, a harem anime from one of the girl's point of view would be pretty interesting. And I don't mean reverse harem, I mean like a traditional harem, but the lone guy character isn't the protagonist. He's the romantic interest, with a plethora of female romantic rivals. In that type of story, the audience might actually root for the main character, and actually be happy when they get with their romantic interest, feeling satisfied and accomplished. And with lots of female love rivals, the ecchi fan-service that all the virgin perverts love could still be part of the story. Actually, with a female protagonist, fan-service would actually be easier to achieve (and wouldn't have the need for a male character's point of view, sparing us all the oh so funny scenes with perverted misunderstandings and embarrassment-fueled physical abuse). As opposed to merely watching a central character we don't care about interact with a bunch of characters we like, reducing it to picking your favorite candy out of a box of assorted chocolates. |

As opposed to merely watching a central character we don't care about interact with a bunch of characters we like, reducing it to picking your favorite candy out of a box of assorted chocolates. I agree for the most part, except in most harem anime the females aren't any deeper of characters than the protagonist(To Love Ru, Rosario+Vampire etc. I haven't read the manga fro the but in the anime none of the girls are great characters aside from their appearance.) And showing a harem from one of the girl's point of view would make it better, and more interesting. Forget all the slapstick humor as well and make it a show on the psychological effects of being in a polygamy relationship. But no harem is focused on that, well the ones that I've seen. It would make the genre better as a whole if there were some harem like that out there...that wasn't a reverse harem. I usually do root for one of the females but some harems have inconclusive endings(Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai, Rosario+Vampire) "Misunderstandings" in harems are annoying but they're everywhere, and could be explained easily but they're not. |

| Yaoi and sports. Then again, I don't think I've seen a sports anime to say that they suck. |

Still, which ones are your favs from that genre :D? Tora dora, kaichou wa maid-sama, hentai ouji to warawanai neko and chuunibyou demo koi ga shitai! And i don't mind that there's a bit if romance in some of the other genres it just don't have to fill that much😊 |
| Shoujo. Definitely shoujo. And Yaoi. |

| just Mecha... |
 |
| Usually the Sci-fi/Mecha and the god stuff, even though I do end up watching it. Scifi/Mecha had one of my faves Gurren Laggan, and pretty bad shows like Gargantia. The god genere I am talking about is like that crap Sasami-san and RDG fall into. |
 |
| Mecha/Space/Futuristic Mecha animes are just too generic and dull for me! They seem repetative and the characters are boring too. I don't get any excitement over two mechas fighting, it just doesn't par up to a sword fight. I do like Gundam (all of the series/movies) and Appleseed though. |

SuperImpact said: Yaoi and sports. Then again, I don't think I've seen a sports anime to say that they suck. Just watch Hajime no Ippo man, just watch Ippo |
| sports I guess and also mindless shounen with random battles like gurren laggan... :/ |
| Yaoi and sports for pretty much the same reasons everyone else said. |
| I avoid these 3 kinds of anime: - Anything with over 60-70 episodes or so... especially Naruto, Bleach and One piece. - Anything with Sports as the main topic. - Bloody and way to serious War/Crime anime... unless they have just a little bit of fantasy/comedy/supernatural. I like shows such as Code Geass and Darker than black. Why? - Well... i just don't tend to watch them... |
| I avoid yuri and yaoi. I don't really like anything to do with that.. I used to avoid sports anime until I randomly decided to watch Knight in the area, which led me to watch kuroko no basket. both great sports anime. |
