I stay away from shoujo and any hentai stuff.

Hentai and mech and certain types of horror

----------

mostly mecha and horrorr or manga/anime that is dark. other stuff as well but those main points.

I can't really say I avoid any particular genre...

I usually avoid anime that seems to be aimed at otaku as these kinds of anime are usually big in special effects, with stereotypical, predictable, one dimensional characters who spout cheesy dialogue and small in emotional substance and mental stimulation. (in other words I tend to avoid watching anything with huge robots, swords, emo looking anti-heroes etc.)

Favourite anime of all time would have to be Princess Mononoke.

I usually avoid Sci-Fi, mainly because it's usually very hard for it to not come across as being very very cheesy. It's not a genre but I never watch animes with 100+ episodes. I always like them in the standard 20-30 so I don't have to catch up on any or think I've missed some. Like with Bleach, there is no way I could catch up to all the episodes they are on now.

lol then you are missing a lot of anime :P


i usually avoid gore and blooding anime..
get me sick >_<

Overly-popular ones.
Or ones that are way to predictable.
Like Inuyasha and Naruto. I seriously cannot stand Naruto.

I don't really care for anime with over 150 eps (Inuyasha/Naruto) but Bleach is an exception. also no hentai, yuri, or things that include romance with little kids

Me neither I hate Naruto. It has too many random fanbummers and the artwork sucks in my opinion.
