    Drama, I suppose, its just...
    Okay, they say that its character development, but it really isn't. They can spend the entire season building a strong independent model, only to give him a breakdown

    I'm in a love/hate-relationship with isekai/harem.

    It feels like 90% of the anime/manga on the market are isekai/harem and the vast majority of these really are as generic as possible. Maybe it's just me, but it feels like most isekai/harem don't even have a proper plot and are just there to satisfy power fantasies. It also feels like - in most cases - the protagonist just gets isekai'd just so the anime/manga has that tag for popularity reasons. Why use the isekai trope when the protagonist doesn't use knowledge from his former world?

    On the other hand though, the concept of isekai is awesome. Real life is boring and full of work. Getting thrown into a fantasy world with magic and different races would probably be fun. I'd also say that every man probably had some harem fantasies at least once in their life. I still dislike harem-settings though. It often leads to harem members without any shred of personality. If you go for power fantasies, at least limit it to bigamy - that's at least feasible. You know... One lady per arm.

    History, because I had to learn a lot of stuff in school already about history, and I do noy want to learn Japanese history all over again because of anime.

    Are you serious!? Thou art a heretic sir!! Sports tag doesn't need to be on the list for sure. Even if it was, it wouldn't be clicked by anyone.

    I dont hate but i cant really enjoy mecha genre. Also same goes for drama and yaoi/yuri for me. Drama i can still watch but mecha is something I cant enjoy. Those robots cant really suit my taste so I dont like that genre

    i find harem animes really boring because characters hardly have substance. and as guilty as i am of loving male leads written by female authors, tailored to fit what i find attractive in men, i hate the whole "innocent/pure but determined" archetype w female leads in harem anime the most. u'd never find a girl like that irl.
    sports anime are alright, they're fun to watch but sometimes i get the ick when i see them so dramatic about passing a ball lmao.

    This might be an unpopular opinion but I'm still gonna say it... I hate Yuri anime.

    If you tell me to watch a Yaoi anime or Yuri anime, I'll gladly wear a gay pride flag and binge watch all episodes of Boku no Pico. That's just how I hate Yuri genre.

    That's not to say that I hate anything with Yuri in it. As long as it doesn't focus on Yuri genre, I can still watch it.

    I find pure Yuri Anime/manga to be boring and unentertaining. At least with Yaoi Anime, I can both cringe and laugh at some of the absurdity of it. I don't find any of that kind enjoyment when I watch Yuri Anime.

    I wish I could choose more than one but I went with hentai (for all the reasons that others mentioned.. it is plotless and tasteless in so many ways)
    The second genre that I avoid like the plague is tragedy. Even in manga and novels I always filter it out from my search because I cannot handle getting involved with a good plot to have a tragic end or a tragic story.

    Slice of life bores me to death. At least hentai has some merit.

    Urgh, Harem and Reverse Harem :cautious: I really hate it when the MCs sometimes having a conflict when choose their end game. (Otome games adapted in Anime)
    Am I the only one who notice that most of the female characters in RH are kinda stupid?

    I hate any kinds of harem and excessive fan service
    I read the summary is good, first impression is good, then come a girl with tons of fan services, dropped immidiately
    I love isekai but I've dropped so many Japanese isekai as they have harem every time
    Its really hard to find action/adventure genre without harem or excessive fan service

    The only reason I even finished watching Shokugeki no Souma is because I skipped when they're trying the dishes

    Also agree that the Harem element trope often ruins many stories.

    I would consider Steven Universe as an Anti-Harem.
