Love rooting for the underdog? Would you like a little bit of character-building for the grand reveal? If you have ever daydreamed about saving the day one time, then the Shonen genre is the type for you! This anime genre initially targeted a younger audience but has now been enjoyed by all age groups. This anime typically follows a weak and feeble-minded protagonist who eventually becomes stronger.

Do you love good ol’ Terry from Brooklyn 99? Are you the type to laugh out loud without a care in the world? I think Romantic comedies (Rom-coms) will vibe with you very well.

Rom-coms are, in my opinion, the perfect balance of kilig and humor—both enough to keep you glued from one episode to another. While other animes have flashy fights and deep plotlines, rom-coms are perfect for a chill night without requiring your brain to go into overdrive. Most of its jokes are “on the nose,” meaning they don’t require you to think too far back for further references. Sometimes they give you a simple yet effective slap-stick formula.
Outdoor camaraderie is one of the elements you enjoy seeing.

If you love cheering for your favorite player in a specific sport alongside the crowd with fellow supporters, then the Sports genre is for you. I believe you are the type that sees one thing from a show and is driven to try it for yourself. I know I have, especially with the anime Hanebado!, which focuses on Badminton.
You aren’t off-put by regular training scenes and instead love seeing the work placed behind the characters before they win the championships!
If you love to take time with things, sometimes even replaying the scene multiple times just to understand everything, then the Mystery genre is perfect. You enjoy the process of going through everything meticulously so that you can come to your own conclusions.
