Anime otaku rank their Top 12 favorite genres and name anime they want to recommend to non-otaku

Anime genres range from a wide variety of subjects from mecha series like Gundam to romantic comedies like Ore Monogatari! and even harem anime like IS: Infinite Stratos. A recent poll on 125 anime otaku (44 men and 81 women) in Japan was recently conducted and it asked them which anime genre do they like the most.


The ages of these anime otaku range from their teens all the way to their 50’s and was conducted by Kozue Suzuki, an editor at Woman Insight magazine. Here are their findings:


13/12) Others


13/ 12) Yuri


11) Yaoi


10) Moe


9) Sports


8) History


7) Romance


6) School Life


5) Comedy

1) Science Fiction

In this poll, the female voters almost outnumbered the male voters by 2-to-1, however, the science fiction genre has surprisingly taken the top spot ahead of fantasy and mecha. While fantasy may be a bit more on the neutral side, SciFi and mecha are admittedly a bit more geared towards males than females, which makes the results all the more interesting. More female-oriented genres, such as yaoi and romance did not even make the top 5.


The poll also asked their otaku recipients to recommend any anime for non-otaku to watch, be it a TV anime or a movie. Here are their recommendations:


The Girl Who Leaped Through Time

Cowboy Bebop

Summer Wars

Tamako Love Story

Toradora!

Well, those certainly are some very good picks from the recipients and will surely be enjoyed by people who don’t watch anime too much or not at all.
