What anime genres do you like to watch?

[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.

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

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!

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?

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.

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.

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

[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.

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.
