What kind of genre of Anime or Manga do you like?

Well, I like lots of genres like slice-of-life, action, fantasy, drama, romance, psychology, sports, horror, sci-fi, martial arts, shounen, shoujo, etc. For me, it kinda depends on how the author pulls it though I'm not that observant about details so sometimes I don't read it if it's overly complicated *coughs

I'm a huge sucker for historical & fantasy settings, especially if they somehow involve time travel and/or romance in them!!   Slice of life is a hit or miss with me, but I'm getting pretty fond of it. I'm also more into josei than shoujo nowadays, but whenever I feel stressed or depressed, binge-reading shoujo and bl manga usually fixes my mood!

Time travel is what never disappoints me ! Then anything historical, may be fantasy/supernatural.
Survival series are also the best~ (Such as Jisatsutou or Btoom) and Shonen series based on martial arts.
My current fav series is Saver for example: It has martial arts, supernatural and time travel (+Reverse Harem as a bonus)
So, usually it's Seinen or Shonen mostly. But I don't mind reading Josei series (I'm a bit tired of plain Shojo manga for the moment)

I'm really diverse in my liking and I try to never watch the same typ of anime after each other since that just makes them look boring for some reason.

Action/Shounen typ of animes mostly do well with me, I occasionally watch some reverse harem (as long as the characters aren't so bland (with no personality ) or get hardly any screen time D: ) Like my fair share of slice of life shows. Used to watch Shoujo like shows, but these days they don't appeal to me that much.

I don't have time to watch anime, So I read a lot of manga ~
So I read everything but I don't like shoujo manga ( especially when the heroine was too naive ), yuri,
But my favorite genre is :

- Yaoi
- Fantastic
-Not ordinary romance ( like Super Lovers for example )
- Harem too but only when the protagonist has a personality !


and when it's sad ending ... I don't like it.

I don't really have a favorite genre, it depends on the anime itself. But the things I dislike the most are ecchi and shoujo. Maybe from a girl's POV, ecchi anime with a dude and bunch of girls surrounding him with things-that-accidentally-happen-and-then-comes-the-ecchi is not really my taste. Same goes for shoujo, some are just too...fluffy for me. (Otome is different from reading shoujo, you can choose your ending... even though it still depends on the MC gosh)

Same here! There are sooo many ecchi anime out there    and the guys complain whenever we get a lovely anime full of hot guys  

For me I don't really have a favorite genre. I'm not really into mecha tho. And any anime with implied BL is just beautiful in my eyes 

I like Shoujo, Reverse Harem, Supernatural, Comedies, and the occasional Shounen. I have dabbled a bit with mecha anime, my favorites being Code Geass and Eureka Seven. I'm not really into it now though.

-Fantasy
-Mystery
-Shoujo
-Comedy
-Action
-Thiller
And I also LOOOOOVE horror
But i really can't stand harems, like; can't he just choose one girl or something?

Agree for the Harem thing. But reverse is an other story

Did you try Yami Shibai ? The episodes are only 10min long but fun to watch (And definitely creepy !)

What kind of genre is Ouran High School Host Club? Because I've never watched anything, be it movies or tv shows, that was closer to my sense of humor or tastes than that one. It might be my soul mate.
I guess reverse-harem comedies are my thing.

I watched Love Hina, but I didn't get why all of the girls had crushes on him.  Nerds are sexy but he was just kind of meh. Also, I'm not into the harem thing, I'm glad I'm not the only one here.

Definitely falls into the shoujo/romcom genre! 

In the recent years I mainly watch/read Seinen anime/manga - especially if it's Psychological, Thriller, Mystery, and Horror. I also enjoy comedy time to time since those genres I've mentioned can get quite heavy sometimes and I need something uplifting to refresh myself!

Josei,Psychological, Historical and Seinen

+Yaoi
+Josei
+Mecha
+Comedy
+Mystery
+Supernatural
+Shounen
+Seinen
+Fantasy
+Smut
+Hentai

shoujo
adventure
shounen
fantasy
horror
supernatural
seinen

not in a special order, i like everything

My main genres are probably:
action
adventure
josei
mystery
slice of life

I have a soft spot for romantic comedy/harem. I never had this sweet spot until I watched Toradora!

Adventure
Shounen
Comedy
A bit of Shoujo
Psychological
Mystery
Supernatural
Fantasy

Honestly, it really really deepens on the story, but theses that about the range I stay in.

Shoujo, definitely, even if I feel that there's more unenjoyable shoujo than enjoyable ones.

My favorite genre are:
-fantasy
-historical 
-reverse harem
-shoujo  ( but only those with an original plot... I hate shoujo manga that have recycled story.. and with too much clichès in it..they're so annoying  . I also like shoujo that isn't drawn in your typical shoujo manga with Super big eyes..)
-yaoi/shounen ai (  I started liking this genre when I started to find boring shoujo mangas! Like it or not but I think yaoi stories, those with plot, are more original that shoujo...  But I don't like those adult/smut stuff but those with innocent love ect )..
