My anime collection includes a wide range of genres. But, if I had to chose one genre I'm enjoying the most as of lately it would be comedy. Some of my favorites being Genshiken, Girls Bravo, and Full Metal Panic Fumoffu.

Romantic Comedies (Usually harems), / Mystery Suspence etc. T_T

I like slice-of-life type of anime, either that or action-y stuff like Samurai Champloo.

Romantic anime is the best. When it's comedy is ok but the more serious series are always more intersting..

Mine varies. I don't really have any genres in specific that I like, I just like whatever catches my eye and keeps me interested. The genres of the anime I like are shoujo, shonen, action, romance, comedy, mecha, and a lot of others. Basically, I guess you could say whatever genres Fruits Basket, Full Metal Alchemist, Naruto, Full Moon wo Sagashite, Gravitation, InuYasha, Bleach, Neon Genesis Evangelion, Samurai Champloo (the list goes on and on!) are. So yeah.. there's a lot. :p

I usually watch all types, but i love action anime! NARUTO RULES!!! I also love Furuba and Chobits and Inuyasha and FullMetal Alchemist. I watch a lot of shoujo anime too.

03-15-2006, 09:29 PM
I mostly watch Horror, Psychological, Mecha, and Adventure. I just finished watching Elfen Lied (loved the gore). i'm currently watching Ghost in the Shell 2nd GIG but i only have the first 3 volumes, alas. I especially liked episode 13 of 2nd GIG.

Klawzie
03-15-2006, 09:39 PM
Romantic comedy
Fantasy
Martial arts/wuxia
Comedy
Supernatural/paranormal
....and just about anything with Elegant Gothic Lolitas. I can't help it. >_>

03-15-2006, 09:42 PM
Definitely shoujo. Though I also like a few titles in the shounen genre, like Rurouni Kenshin, Eyeshield 21, and Prince of Tennis. It's mostly because they are humourous

GlazedDonuts
03-15-2006, 09:43 PM
I don't have a preferred Genre, I'll either like a series or I wont, for example, I loved Trigun, first time I watched it I instantly wanted the whole series, but other series (serei? how is series pluraled?), like Berserk, for example, I just can't stand. But that may be because I was introduced to it a really irritating guy. Dosnt mean I dont like the Genre, but that specific anime I disslike.

tenshiforgotten
03-15-2006, 10:20 PM
Shounen, with romance mixed in, preferrably shounen-ai. Shoujo is totally great too though. =D

All great things come with angst though! No angst = bad. Too much angst = bad. As long as the pictures are pretty (no one can stand bad art --; ), the story is good (good art is pointless without a story to tell), and the characters are love (no one likes annoying main characters!) then you have a winning manga! Or anime!

I have great love for action. Martial arts, explosions, general all-around ass-kickings... anything. However, in my spare time, I do watch other stuff...

CatMarieS

I love fantasy anime, and also historical fiction anime, can't stand most shojou however, because they're too slow paced.

ryusuke
03-15-2006, 10:38 PM
Any series that doesn't take itself too seriously. Nothing too sappy, too grim or just too dull. I like almost anything with decent amounts of comedy in it, whether it be action, romance, mecha etc. My faves include GTO, Love Hina, Cowboy Bebop and FullMetal Alchemist.

Dark_Mornie
03-15-2006, 10:53 PM
any kind... specially if it has yaoi [*o*]

but i guess i go fot the gothic/action/fantasy ones... still, i read [n watch] w/e u put in front of me o.oU

narc
03-15-2006, 10:57 PM
Political and suspense. That's why my top would be the Ghost ub the Shell movies, the Patlabor movies, Paranoia Agent and Perfect Blue.

If any one as more suggestions within those lines, feel free to respond.

vanityvile
03-16-2006, 12:24 AM
Yeah, I'll read any kind of yaoi..usually.

I love drama, angst, shojo stuff. Not a big fan of mecha or action, especially in manga because my brain can't process the pictures well. It's okay in anime though. I also love romantic comedy with hints of fantasy.

Spike
03-16-2006, 12:33 AM
I watch almost all shonen. I used to watch A LOT of mecha but not so much anymore. Some of my favorite genres are cyberpunk, horror, fantasy, Sci-Fi, and anything with a samurai in it :)

Mamimi's Pimp Daddy
03-16-2006, 01:05 AM
There's no way I could pick just one genre. I mean, my favorite Anime is FLCL but my brain would turn to Jello without something like Lain or Perfect Blue to make me think. Of course, sometimes I just need to KICK SOME ASS and I break out Gantz or Samurai Champloo. Nope, give me variety or give me death!

Cloud
03-16-2006, 01:07 AM
all genres :3

depends on my mood too

cheysulinight
03-16-2006, 01:17 AM
Shounen-ai and yaoi are my favorites. And I love ones with a supernatural theme. Don't really like Mecha though (the one exception being Gundam Wing).

But really, I'll give anything a chance as long as the main character isn't a girl.

My favorite is a comedy/romance.

I also really like action / adventure series and I love mecha. I'll pretty much watch and enjoy anything so long as it has good characters and an interesting plot though. I'm not all that picky, but I enjoy comedy/romance the most.

imbecile-anthem
03-16-2006, 02:22 AM
No genre in specific (yet I tend to be in the Gothic/fantasy side) ... but I don't usually pick any manga/anime by the genre... I agree with the ones who said that it depends on the plot and the mood!

elisegrey
03-16-2006, 03:16 AM
If I'm honest, my favourite genre is 'slice of life'. There are obviously genres within that, and many different diversions from the formula, but as boring as it may sound, that's what does it for me.

Niikura_Kaoru
03-16-2006, 05:56 AM
It is a bit hard to choose one specific genre, I can find anything to be enjoyable. But however, I do prefer anime's that have a good storyline that will really get the viewer into it, so I tend to watch drama anime's more often.

The Doc
03-16-2006, 05:57 AM
I'm a big fan of romantic comedy...whether it's in a sci-fi context or a mundane setting (loved El Hazard, Ranma, Ai Yori Aoshi). I like horror, but that's rarely done well in manga or anime (the Mermaid Scar OAV's were excellent).

Just give me something with well developed, likable characters and I'll watch it.

ParaKiss
03-16-2006, 05:58 AM
Overall fave would have to be romance. But I prefer the anime like Haibane Renmei, Niea_7, Honey and Clover, Paradise Kiss etc. The ones that are 'refreshing' to watch and you can really relate to the characters.

GracieLizzy
03-17-2006, 03:03 AM
I adore magical girl shows, I know there often silly but they really appeal to me.. . I think on the same level as fairy tales and Disney movies still do. I also love seinen romantic comedies, like Chobits and many of Rumiko Takahashi's rom-coms. The only thing I find off putting is certian sub-genres of hentai: rape porn and true loli/shota... which I see a pedophila, yuck. Oh and "collect-em-all"/tournament shows like Pokemon and Beyblade can wear on my nerves after a while, though there are some expections.

It used to be the darker side (Cowboy Bebop, Witch Hunter Robin, Wolf's Rain), but now I seem to be gravitating toward shojo and yaoi.

Sweat Revenge
03-17-2006, 06:28 PM
I like most of the new anime, I'm not all for old school, or mech. 'alot' of action in them makes a great series, along with some comedy and romance.

I like comedy. It either has to have comedy or be REALLY REALLY AWESOME for me to like it. I also like romance, action, and fantasy as long as the show isn't completely centered around one genre. :)

saralicious
03-17-2006, 07:11 PM
Hmm...I guess I'm into romance, being the hopeless romantic I am. Besides that I like samurai/ninja, comedy, and fantasy stuffs. My all-time favorites are things like Crescent Moon with vampires and demons and stuff.

Fantasy's are my personal favorites, but I like others too. I have yet to see a giant robot one that I like though...

I like just about all Anime, unless it has too much needless and over done fighting, or if they keep repeating the same thing, just in a differant way, that gets old REAL fast (if that makes sence to anyone out there, lol)

I'll give about any anime a shot.

But I tend to lean towards romantic comedies and action.

I rarely like mecha/sci-fi stories or anything with a lot of violence (as opposed to martial arts action).

I like sci fi anime, and comedies. I will also watch any anime that has a lot of references to some kind of folklore, legend or mythology. Those are classic stories.

Seinen, most definitely. The types of Texhnolyze, Wolf's Rain, Haibane Renmei and Kino's Journey. I like Jyosei as well (honey and clover is love!). Although I do read shoujo and shounen once in a while.
