Has your taste in anime changed over the years?

[29ghtian6iapl1-5g9s71jgbs]

I tend to watch less mainstream anime and I don't like predictable cliched storylines. Anything with the supernatural, mystery, or tragedy seem to draw me in. I try to give an open mind to any anime that I don't know if I like it or not.

Yes they've changed. The younger me loved to watch harems and 'edgy'. /cough/elfenlied/cough/
Now I can't stand the genre. If a character has more than two love interests and one of those interests happen to be a childhood friend I tend to drop it.

Same with tsunderes. I used to think they were awesome, now I can't stand the character type. Even if a character only exhibits the trait as a one time gag joke I cringe and my view of them is forever shifted towards hatred.

[Monochrome Potato]

Stopped watching mainstream anime and started looking for niches since mainstream is starting to get boring haha

[Nougami Tork]

Yes it has.
I no longer watch s**t.

[Xanvie]

Maybe a bit changed, but not really. I found few favorites too.
And i am not a big anime fan, i just watch few sometimes.

Well I'm from the older crowd so when I was growing up there wasn't much anime to watch. I had no real reason to be picky.

I still enjoy a wide range of shows today, but there are types of shows that I avoid. If it is all boobs and no plot then I have no interest.

[Hiru_Yami]

Definitely mine has changed, I love a good shounen still but I very dislike Shoujo, I find it very linear
There are plenty of shoujo manga that doesn't use the same old plotline but those are few and far between
I also definitely like seinen and josei a bit more now that I'm older
I grew past the eechi stuff and harems, they seem very unrealistic

Kind of, but not exactly. I used to only watch things on TV (adult swim and on-demand) which I don't do anymore, but the kinds of series I watch is essentially unchanged. I've always liked what I've seen of 70s anime and I had more of a penchant for 90s series. I watched newer series here and there, which I still do now. The only thing that I think has changed is that I'm not that turned off by watching longer series and I don't watch as many dubs (hell, a lot of the time, I don't even have the luxury of subs). I was a lot more into ecchi, but then again I'm a bit fan of Cutey Honey these days.

i used to think i was too good for dragon ball z


then the other night i realized it was like 4 am and all i did for like 3 days was drink leftover beer and watch Kai

[Kenny is not alive]

LOL Yes.

First I watched animes with action. Later I watched cute girly animes. Then Yuri/Yaoi. Now, HORROR TWISTED ANIMES!

[King Shining Heaven]

Well, my first animes were the standard American releases, you know, Sailor moon, Pokemon, Yu-gi-oh, etc. But after I discovered dubs and how much they changed things, especially 4Kids, I started looking for less censored stuff. Overall, though, my taste is the same

[Ruoxi]

Yes, definitely smile Anything romantic used to satisfy me, but now I'm looking for series that is very memorable. The genre doesn't matter for me wink
