Ohayotaku Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 (edited) My faves are fantasy & supernatural since I’m interested in folklore & mythology. I tend to differentiate between horror (blood, gore, shock value) & supernatural (mystery, suspense, philosophical). But also creatures like yokai, cryptids, demihumans, etc. Edited May 7 by Ohayotaku 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyePotatoes Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 I've been clinging to Mystery lately specifically detective conan (around 870th+ episode right now). I'm also drawn to shounen and I have been trying to watch Mecha for a new breather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wickett Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 I'm into mysterious/investigative storylines primarily, or a classic well thought out plot that has good story and character progression. Mystery, action, and adventure pretty much all of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaiyaSaysHaiya Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 (edited) i'm definitely a sucker for romantic slice of life (especially in manga, but this is about anime). i also love a good psychological horror/thriller. supernatural stuff is cool too Edited May 17 by KaiyaSaysHaiya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nico Robin Fan 95 Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 I like shounen, fantasy, adventure, action, comedy, drama, and romance, the most. These anime genres are the best and also the most exciting in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Animedragon Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 My preferences for anime have changed over the years. When I first started watching anime I tended to go for sci-fi and action type series, but these days I prefer slice of life series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

efaardvark Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 My favorite genre is SCIENCE fiction, hands down. However, I feel I must explain because in my view there actually aren't that many science fiction stories out there. See the "science" word there? If the plot doesn't work in this universe without resorting to impossible physics then it is simply fiction, or maybe outright fantasy. It also has to have science or technology as a central plot element. Clarke and Niven are a couple of my favorite authors because they were able to create incredible stories based on the rules of science and engineering as we know them. Star wars to me is sword-and-sorcery rebranded. Star Trek is better but it still has things like warp drive, transporters, and FTL comms that depend on fantasy-physics yet are central to the plot(s). (To me Star Trek actually works better as a morality play, especially the original series.) Planetes is science fiction because it takes place in a future world where the rocket equation reigns supreme and space garbage is a real problem. GATTACA and I, Robot (even the Will Smith version) are SF. I do make allowances. Ghost in the Shell is almost SF, except that we don't have a way to quantify or transfer "ghosts". Science doesn't know everything. and that's enough to let GitS pass as SF for my purposes. Provisionally. More than one or maybe two such lapses however and the questionable elements have to be explained well in terms of extending known limits WITHOUT conflicting with known science and engineering. You can get as creative as you like without crossing that line. In fact I encourage it. That's part of the fun. I subscribe to Clarke's laws, especially the 3rd, "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic". 99 times out of 100 I'll find a show extremely interesting if it can honestly say that it is science fiction with a setting and plot that could actually exist. Show me the magic, but make sure it works in this universe. Having said all that I should also say that I'm not against everything not-SF. If nothing else such "real" SF shows are obviously few and far between. By necessity there are other genres that I watch far more often, many of them quite entertaining on their own terms. I do tend to like comedy and slice-of-life, though being older myself I also try to avoid the shonen/shojo type in favor of more mature characters and themes. Beyond that/those I'll give pretty much anything a watch, at least for the first few episodes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jellal Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 Lately it's been more supernatural anime or anime that leans more towards slice-of-life. I love a good action or drama, mystery and suspense, or horror genre anime too. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
