    What's your favourite anime genre?
    Do you like to watch shounen anime, or do you prefer more "adult-like" anime?
    What do you think of sports anime?
    What's on your current to watch-list?

    Honestly, I'm more into shounen. I really love all the monster-thingies and the soccer-thingies (Inazuma Eleven). Even though the message can be pretty annoying sometimes (there's friendship in Yu-Gi-Oh! everywhere, and Inazuma Eleven is filled with "as long as you never give up and trust your teammates, you'll become the world champion!"). Sure, those messages are great for kids, but PLZ JUST GET ON WITH THE ACTION :(
    Oh well. I guess if I want to watch shounen anime like Pokémon, Bakugan and Inazuma Eleven, I'll just have to deal with the moral.

    So far, I haven't tried any more "adult-like" anime. Call me childish, but I can't stand main characters who get killed, lots of bloodsport, pretty dark storylines and don't forget about the porn that some of them have. I'm just not ready yet :sweat:

    I think Kuroko No Basket got me addicted to sports anime. Inazuma Eleven is one too, but that one's more of a shounen, I think. One of my friends told me that the sports anime are getting more and more popular, and if they're all as good as KnB, then I can see why :)

    My watch list looks like this:
    1. Finish watching Yu-Gi-Oh! DM
    2. Haikyuu!!
    3. Kuroko No Basket 3
    4. Beyblade
    5. I might try Attack on Titan?

    I like an even blend of shounen and shoujo--I love fantasy worlds and epic adventures, but I also have a soft spot for sparkly transformations too

    Although I am picky when it comes to anime, I love the blend between Shounen and Shoujo.
    Fantasy worlds are amazing, and I love the concepts for all of them~

    For me it is a combination of fantasy anime and (I think) thriller animes animes. Any anime that has a really good fantasy feel to it, be it an alternate universe like NGNL, or this universe like Kyoukai no Kanata, I generally enjoy (so long as the plot and characters are interesting). Those more thriller animes like Steins;Gate and Zankyou no Terror are awesome as well because you never know what to expect and you're always hooked for what happens next.

    I'm a split down the middle. To me, all anime have there good points and bad points, and it Doesent really matter what audience it is projected too.

    Mmm. . I'm a big fan of horror, drama and mystery. Death Note && Tokyo Ghoul are two of my favorite series, && I've been meaning to watch Parasyte. Those titles all kind of fit into the three genres I named!

    @Megarei111 But hell l o talk to me about the sports anime Kuroko no Basuke. Maybe i should make a club

    I really like the romance genre, particularly shoujo. It's really cute and makes me wish I had a romance that cheesy. It really makes you want 2D boys more than 3D boys. It's really fun and cute, with little tidbits here and there.

    Mecha. And I'll even add epic mecha. Gurren Lagann certainly will be the revelation of my life.

    I am a big fan of Shonen Anime/Manga, one of my all-time favs is definitely Fairy Tail. ^^

    Shonen mostly, that tends to be what I watch/read for the most part. Also enjoy comedy, school life, or sports (like Kuroko's Basketball and Free!). As for least favorites.. shoujo and romance I'd say more than likely, especially romance oof. I'm not really into series that focus more on it as I highly prefer action.

    Definitely Shonen, and romance comedies like School life and that~ (Fairy Tail being one of my favs :3)
    I've just recently started watching more 'adult animes', and more gore, but I need to get used to them. It's usually that my favourite character dies ugh gotta hate that. And I tend to prefer the good ol' happy endings, though.

    Shounen, action, and comedy. Things that make me laugh, I usually like. Sometimes they can be purely humor, but most of the time things that can get deep and emotional, like xxxHOLiC and Gintama. There's a reason why I like them. :3

    Usually Magical Girl, but lately I've strayed into other series like Seinens.
