What anime genres do you like to watch?

[Elc1247]

just wanting to see what the tastes of the crowd is out there.

personally, i go with:
Action
Comedy
Romance

the others i have either have mixed feelings or dont like much.

[EagleEyes]

Mostly "PEW PEW PEW" and sometimes some "KAKKA CHA!" and maybe a little "BOOOO WOOOP"


In english, "Lazers, guns, shooting, swearing............. and roller blades"

[TheDrunkenShadow]

I generally watch everything. Unless it turns out to be crap. Then I watch it and complain about it later.

[Shadows_Revenge]

I agree with Shadow on this one, I will watch mostly anything (dont ask what I have watched) and will just say "why did I just watch this???"

[Bonediddly]

Anything that doesn't suck horribly. Which I do not watch and still complain about.

[Shadowblade Edge]

I'll watch anything, except YAOI, not BL, I'll watch that, I mean porn, unless someone I trusted said it was funny, then I might give it a pass.

[Elk]

The two most important classifications for a manga or anime series I don't believe would be genres, or far reaching classifications such as shoujo or shounen, but rather story and episode. And I much prefer story, though from time to time a good episodic anime is a great timesink and brainrest.

[Sandgolem]

Comedy, Stalking, Action, Fantasy, and Mystery. Also anything orginal

[MaxDagger]

I love just about any type of anime... as long as it doesn't put me to sleep though. =o

Shall I introduce you to Aria? It always makes me doze off, but the ever-present water images keep me awake by giving me the urge to pee. :P

I do so believe stalking isn't a genre :p

[MaxDagger]

Shall I introduce you to Aria? It always makes me doze off, but the ever-present water images keep me awake by giving me the urge to pee. :P Sure, I could put it on my PSP or cellphone and use it when I am having trouble sleeping.

[Mistress Victoria]

I'll watch mostly everything. If it's crap, I'll give it a rant/review on my site on how bad it is. If it's good, well, I'll review it on my site. XD

When I'm my online persona, though, I just love Ecchi/Hentai anime and talking about how hot the girls are, haha. ...Or how bad they are. >_<

[animecrazy004]

I like Action, Comedy, Fantasy, and a little of Mystery and Romance.

[Miruki Mimiko]

Mostly shounen-ai, action, fantasy and comedy. I've watched the odd mech anime, but I don't watch much of that. I prefer to stay away from those -w- Oh! and supernatural

[Elc1247]

gah... guys... i mean what genres you prefer -__- not what you are looking for in a series...

[Bonediddly]

gah... guys... i mean what genres you prefer -__- not what you are looking for in a series...

And the consensus was that the genre does't really matter.

[Elc1247]

sigh... i meant what genres do you generally gravitate towards... are you more likely to pick up a romance? or an action series? thats what im trying to ask... so please try to stay on topic...

also i noticed i misread some of the posts up above, >_> i was so out of it when i posted... looks like everything is pretty much in order. my apologies.

The animated genre?

[Bonediddly]

I do tend to stray towards the serious stuff. But, besides that....

[Kercon]

Depends what I feel like ...
From bloody horrors to ridiculously stupid harem echi comedy ...
For me is easier to say what I don't watch ... for 90% I dislike Yaoi with few exceptions ... History genders are to avoided by me =_= and things that are for me to heretical to watch ( for example Rosario+Vampire capu 2 how they f... up it so much X_X )

[mangusbrother]

whatever i feel like really... just what seems good

[Justp94]

Comedy and/or Romance

[Oni]

Slice of Life
Romance
Comedy
Adventure
Serious (if that can count as a genre these days)
Coming of Age.

I'm not limited to those genres, and I am aware that there is a lot of shovel anime in said genres, but there are quite a few gems too. And I know space travel doesn't count as a genre, so...it wasn't included.

[Shadowblade Edge]

Since when has serious ever been a genre. Or coming of age for that matter, more understandable, but still. As to space travel, maybe Space Opera would be appropriate?

[HezaaChan]

I generally watch Action, Suspense/Mystery and General Fantasy. Not so keen on Horror, but I have been known to watch it (and sleep with the lights on afterwards :S ).

[Shin_No_Kokoro]

I mostly watch shoujo ai,fantasy, romance the odd mech, martial arts and supernatural ^_^

[黒と赤「KUROtoAKA」]

I love drama. I'm a sap for emotional anime.

[Oni]

Coming of Age has always been a genre sir.

That would be my policy as well

[ace8489]

I like to watch action/comedy mostly but im up to watch anything good

[Shiki-san]

I pretty much watch every genre but mainly Comedy, Romance, Drama, Supernatural, Gore, ( a few i dont remember right now)

[FFHellDragon]

Any tbh, if it has a good enough story, etc, i'll go for it.

[Zero Gravity]

I prefer comedy like Cromartie High or School Rumble

[dbull620]

I mostly stick with action, but I do enjoy a good romantic comedy series here and there.

[TheGreatMoof]

I'm big on shounen anime. As long as it isn't too ridiculous or goofy or contrived (couldn't ever get into One Piece, for instance) I'll probably get a kick out of it. The latest one I've been watchin' is Fairy Tail, which is pretty tight.

[G U R U]

That would be my policy as well
Mine too lol

[Chris]

In terms of anime, Mostly the action and adventure. I enjoy a series with a complex yet interesting and easy to follow plot.

In terms of Manga, I enjoy the slice of life, comedy, romance, adventure and other types of stories that don't have huge battle scenes but have like-able characters and a plot that captures the reader.

[ZshadowX]

i enjoy Mecha
Action
Romance
Comedy
Slice of life
Music, like K-ON!
pretty much anything that will scar me for life lol jk :D

[Shadowblade Edge]

Music, like K-ON!So you like music shows that aren't about music?

[Oni]

Music, like K-ON!

That ain't really music, more like "moe" or something.

Try Beck.

[Shadowblade Edge]

Moe's not a genre, it's comedy.

[G U R U]

Moe isn't a genre, it's a way of life :durhur:

[Oni]

Moe's not a genre, it's comedy.
Don't associate moe with comedy.

[Elc1247]

ok... moe = quality, its not a genre... moe is more along the lines of "pretty boys" or "super CG everywhere"

[Stone]

I would prolly go with action, comedy and everything non-mecha.

Oh and I dislike overly dramatic anime, like Clannad.

[Losertastic124]

Those bloody, gory messes of an anime that take psychotic twists and has a deeper meaning/plot line then you would think.

I also love the historical animes!
And the ones that involve creepy black magic!

[.wneivf]

Moe isn't a genre, it's a way of life :durhur:

lol so true xD (hi this is TJK from dgz btw , long time no see)

yeah , I'm going to have to go with romance , comedy and suspense and detective animes mainly , I love an anime that has a story that can suprise you but not to the point it's all over the place or overly complicated.

[AyumuKagami]

The type of anime that i prefer to see are Action, Romance, and comedies. I also like the intelectual ones like death note.
I think that Romantic Comedies have the best storylines though.

[fightbait]

I'm all about hyper-violence and giant robots. The combination of the two, like in New Getter Robo, is especially nice.

[Atmora]

Now that Baccano! has come around Gangster movie is now a genre in anime, so that is my favorite, I also enjoy the mind ♫♫♫♫ genre (yes, I consider it a genre), most series have a bit of romance, but I have seen very few actual romance shows, I also like a good drama like Gankutsuou.

[Oni]

"Gangster" would generally be something akin to "film noir", correct?

[Shadowblade Edge]

"Gangster" would generally be something akin to "film noir", correct?Not a horrible comparison, but it'd actually be the cluster of genres that is Crime Film, as such, it's not an actual genere.

[Atmora]

Yeah, a bit like Noir, only less of a downer, more colorful, and less detectivey.

[Jubilee]

Gotta love the Psychological ones...mess with my mind...freak me out...if you give me nightmares, I'll probably like you more for it. #smize

And Magical Girl...of course. Can never have to much of that. :daw:

[Zaig]

Mecha, Romance, and Fantasy, in that order. I, of course, go outside these genres, but they are my most common.

[SoulArbiter]

Whatever piques my interest really. I find myself watching bits and pieces from every defined genre provided. The ones that really get me are the obscure and artsy kind of ones. Also, comedy is also a hugely favoured genre of mine - for anything really.

[moonhawk81]

It's kind of hard to pinpoint the genres. For example, I love Trigun, but is it action or comedy? Still, I guess I'll venture to say action and mystery (although who doesn't love a good comedy?).

[Bargain Gamer]

ACTION! And others as the mood strikes me, but MOSTLY ACTION!!!

[Gatx]

Mellow slice of life is my favorite genre. I was absolutely blown away when I first saw Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou. The random slice of life like Lucky Star isn't bad either but for those it depends on the specific series.

[Jrockergirl]

I'm a fan of the action/comedy genre of anime. I really enjoy watching super natural animes too like Beelzebub, World God only Knows as well and mecha.

I do watch other animes as well but of course even animes can be bad in an awesome genre....

FMA,

Durarara!!/Baccano I was expecting slice of life at first then became action so great animes

[SoulArbiter]

I know exactly what you mean and I totally agree with you on this one.
