| Have you ever liked the show from the genre that you do not like or even despise for any reason? Why did this happen and did it create any problems in your enthusiasm with this? For example, this happens almost every time I like some CGDCT or All-Female title, since I always had significant problems with the audience of these genres. To such an extent that sometimes I even avoided reading a discussion or participating in it in order to continue to enjoy the show in a calm manner. |

| I guess I only hate purely Yaoi/Yuri anime. I dont even watch them so I cant say about liking them. Apart from that, I dont particularly hate any genre. |
If you enjoyed the time you wasted, then its not a waste of time.  |
| ^Same gay sh** ! And also I am personally don't like CGDCT But I like K-on doesn't even know why ? |
 |
| Yea, I liked Ping Pong the Animation even though I dislike sports anime. |
| I don’t really have any strong negative feelings towards any genre, but if I had to pick one that I have the hardest time connecting with, it would probably be mecha. Still, there have been plenty of mecha anime I’ve enjoyed. Gurren Lagann, 86, Code Geass, Suisei no Gargantia, and Bang Brave Bravern are a few off the top of my head. Why these? I have no idea, since they don’t really have anything in common with each other. It never creates problems. If anything, it’s the opposite; it’s a pleasant surprise when I find a mecha anime that I can really enjoy, and it makes me more likely to check out others when they come along. |

| Probably the most prominent example of "I hate this premise but the show turned out decent" for me is Problem Children Are Coming from Another World, Aren't They?, where I still think the premise of settling all disputes through fundamentally unrelated and unnecessarily complicated games is stupid and the premise of the main character being an asshole is also stupid, but the show itself played out pretty decently. Though it probably helped that the main characters weren't all that assholish, and the opening theme is really cool. A related example is Tokyo Xanadu, the game (specifically Tokyo Xanadu eX+), which I started as a bit of a throwaway distraction because I'm not really a fan of yet another story about Japanese schoolkids. I still am not really a fan of that, but the game plays out quite well, for story, gameplay, music, characters, setting, etc. -- I'm actually rather fond of it now, and it's definitely a worthy Falcom title. |

Of course I think there's gems to find even in the genres we're least into Never been particularly into romance, especially shoujo romance, but i'm really enjoying fruits Basket for the other story elements and the characters, same with Orange, and i also quite enjoy some of the classic shoujo romances from the 70s/80s I've yet to find a CGDCT show or a josei that doesn't have a cute animal MC i like though |

| I hate BL because it's full of stuff I dislike, specially all the harassment and rapey stuff but I liked Uraboku since Yuki x Luka was pretty sweet and it's about the only anime that did the reincarnation romance right. |
Always the same… Every age, every generation. Human beings are infinitely more cruel and selfish than any demon in hell ~Dantalion (Makai Ouji) |
| Euphonium and Haiikyu are two animes that made interested in the concept their based on (concert band) and (volleyball) that i never cared about, to the point i want to see it IRL. Anime has the power to do it, it's fair to say, if it wasn't for those two, i wouldn't watch it IRL. |
| I've never really been to against genre's not the biggest into magical girls or slice of life but I did enjoy Madoka Magica and Welcome to the NHK. |
Sometimes it takes a real man to be best girl. Gilgamesh is also chad.   |
| Sure I am not big on Battle Shonen but love Demon Slayer a lot, and it is very typical of Battle Shonens and it's hugely enjoyable. Even a lot of the shonen tropes make me smile, I dunno for some reason I dislike isekai but have isekai that I like, but it's a really huge genre now, so disliking the genre but liking maybe <10 isekai anime isn't much. |
| Not big into slice of life. I tend to prefer something more plot significant in anime I watch otherwise it can be a bit boring for me. Howvere I've seen a few that I have watched to the end. It's either Elegant Yokai Apartment Life or My New Boss Is Goofy for me that I enjoyed most. CGDCT is probably my least liked genre as it combines sol style stories and female dominated cast two things that don't really interest me. I've seen one that I completed and enjoyed enough before my tastes developed and that's Azumanga Daoih Not much of a romance fan either. Unless it's BL. (again don't vibe with a lot of female characters in anime) but I have seen more then the other two. Ouran High School Host Club I'm surprised I liked. Actually add that in reverse harem too. oh and Harem. Not for me. I saw Tenchi Muyo but not something I really want to go back into. Didn't hate it. Didn't love it. I definitely DON'T like female idol. But One Piece Film Red counts as one. But then again I love One Piece and it had an actual plot. Forgot add Magical Girl. Not for me. Sailor Moon is alright hut it's Cute High Earth Defence Club for me. And the magical girls are magical boys lol. |

| I don't really like Yaoi/BL but I watch them from time to time, my favorite being Doukyuusei - with Umibe no Étranger and Mignon behind them. [and I guess Yarichin☆Bitch-bu was entertaining] |

| @mshfqtny Damn I sort of placed it in slice of life/romance stuff as there was a romance and we are dropped into the day to day life of a post College NEET |

| Before you say "isekai is not a genre", whatever; I don't care. Anyway, No Game No Life is my favorite isekai anime, and I really like Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear and Slime Taoshite 300 Nen. |

| Harem: TWGOK Reverse harem: Ouran HSHC Isekai: Re:Zero > I think I enjoyed them because I really like the MCs CGDCT, iyashikei: Yuru Camp > hmm this one idk I just feel immersed when watching it so maybe because it's well produced and I do enjoy camping IRL |

Don't really care for battle Shonen, but I love One Piece
| @Scyfher This may seem obvious, but I never thought about OP as Battle Shonen, Lmao. |

| No I hate gay things above all things so no way I am touching one of those, |
| Never been a huge fan of mecha anime, so when I find one I actually like is a pretty cool way to mix things up for me. |

| my least favorite genre is probably Mecha, nat that i hate it, i just kinda don't see the appeal GHost in the shell: Stand Alone Complex is technically a mecha, so i guess that. I liked the movie Appleseed Ergo Proxy |
| My waifu is the most wonderful waifu. Mai Valentine. We're freaking out that we're running out of time, but to do what? Should i stop and think of that? Is there something i could do to slow it down? Live in a day for once, instead of watch it sprinting by |

@Shimapan-chan So any have you found?
| Neon Genesis Evangelion, Full Metal Panic, Macross (still watching this last one but I like it so far) |

Reply to Guilmon1
@Sheol01 I really can't understand it, evangelion in many ways is textbook mecha, it's just that Anno is a great writer who made it unique yet people claim it's a deconstruction
| @Guilmon1 Because it easier for them seeing shinji mopping around, forgetting that each show has different premise. Ideon shown you that is neither fight or die for the character they don't have the luxury to mope around like shinji. Same for Grendizer Duke Fleed saw his planet got destroyed by Vegan that why he vows to protect his new home. Plus Grendizer is the only defense against Vegan is neither fight or suffer the same fate as Planet Fleed.Also not everyone has a death wish like shinji. |

| I don't like Romance anime with a Harem theme. I think that romantic love should be for only one person, but I like "Hyakkano". At first, I didn't even have the idea to watch it, but I was just bored and had nothing to do, so I watched it and found it fun. The protagonist is so cool, a gentleman, and tries his best for his lovers, and maybe because it's a Comedy with a Parody theme too, I liked it easily. |
| I don't even watch anime from genres that I don't like. It is that simple. |
| Sure, several times. Here are anime I've enjoyed and the genre/theme they had that I usually do not like. Code Geass - Mecha Re:Zero - Isekai Bunny Girl Senpai - Harem (it's very light on the harem aspect, to be fair) |

therealnagora said: Harem is still pretty lacking in good examples IMO. You could try The 100 Girlfriends, harem probably won't get much better than that. |

| @Kiyomice Code Geass is not mecha anime in true sense, it's a power fantasy for teens that happen to have mechas in it so the people who liked it could pretend to like mechas. |
