Thinking Up "My Favorite Anime List" On the Top of My Head~

"What's your Favorite Anime of Each Genre?" A question I attempted to answer on Youtube.

Just the other day, when I was watching anime Youtubers the question of "What's your favorite anime" came up. It must've been a great timing because maybe I was "bored" enough to answer it. With the question he asked after that, "What ar the genres of anime?" My Comment became too long, so I decided to turn archieve it as an article here.

You can check my comment and the video through this link: "First Time Hearing "HUNTER X HUNTER Endings (1-6)" This article is an expanded & touched up version of that comment:

What's your Favorite Anime? (You can only Choose One!)

First I can never choose 1! I have 100 anime or so in my Top 10 list and I keep switching between them.

Oh, wait... Since I know no one else will choose it.

  • Favorite Anime: Bakuman (It was my favorite by the time its third season was airing. It's an anime about Manga Artists and I am an artist!)

Is There a List of All Genres of Anime?

I don't know all the genres and I don't think there's a complete list of them anywhere. Genre is a vague term and it gets expanded all the time. "Isekai" is a genre, but it only became recognized as an anime genre when the community needed an umbrella to fit all these stories. See?

There could be a "Snoring" anime genre building up as you read this! Don't ask me what's a Snoring anime, I just made it up!! (...but it could be about people who Snore in their Sleep, or I dunno, snoring ASMR anime?)

You could look up a genre list on anime-watching websites (See Crunchyroll's list here) and have a complete enough list for your purposes.

I can choose the Top 5 anime of each of the genres I watch, but I'll choose only 1 of my favorites for you in this comment and I won't choose Bakuman since it's no longer my favorite Slice of Life.

These below are the favorite animes on top of my head, I'm sure my list will be very different if I had time to think them through:

  • Shonen: Hunter x Hunter

  • Seinen: Inuyashiki

  • Shojo: Kiyo in Kyoto*

  • Action: Dragon Ball

  • Adventure: One Piece (NOTE 1)

  • Mystery: Attack on Titan

  • Romance: Kaguya-sama Love is War (NOTE 2)

  • Comedy: Cautious Hero - The Hero is Overpowered but Overly Cautious

  • Sports: SLAM DUNK*

  • Slice of Life: Spy x Family

  • Isekai: Mushoku Tensei (NOTE 3)

  • Mecha: Eighty-Six

  • CGDCT: K-On (NOTE 4)

    Notes:
     1 - One Piece and HxH are interchangeable because both are Adventure/Shonen but I think OP is more Adventure.
     2 - Kaguya-sama is my favorite (non-violent) Seinen of all time too.
     3 - ReZero is my 2nd favorite Isekai anime of all time.
          My 2nd favorite Light Novel is "A Certain Magical Index" but the anime for that isn't good.
          Mushoku Tensei is my favorite LN-based anime and the novel is even better.
     4 - Cute Girls Doing Cute Things. Yes that's an actual genre. It's a sub-genre for the Slice of Life.
     5 - Added "Shojo" and "Sports" genres in this article version.
          I don't watch Shojo. All the Romance I watch is Seinen, but I did find one I loved when I looked Shojo up.

It seems like I got the best anime list without asking about it. As an anime lover, I think I am the lucky one to get the list.
I have seen several anime you said here. Dragon Ball is one of my favorite anime. Feeling good to see the name here.
Anyway, what's up? it's after a long time.

Well, the list is quite personal but they're all at least "good" if you like their genre. I thought about whether to put "One Punch Man" in Action instead of Dragon Ball, but I decided on DBZ.
