What is your favorite genre in general?

[lukesuperstarfish]

When you look for movies, comics, tv shows, anything. What sort of genre do you look for? Fantasy, sci-fi, comedy, horror, erotic . Whatever floats your boat.

I personally enjoy fantasy the most, because of the unique and different worlds you come across when looking through different fantasy stories.

What genres do you enjoy?

and here is some shameless advertising. Bones for Brains

I always say yes to sci-fi XD But mostly to cyberpunk and steampunk and the least to aliens and zombies. (but that doesn't mean I avoid those, I'm just less interested).
And then there's disgusting amounts of BL in my bookmarks lol
I like horror too. But psychological than gore. And a comedy with a huge dose of dark humor and sarcasm.
And mystery. I think that's about it.

Speculative fiction! That is, the umbrella term that includes fantasy, scifi, magical realism and all their sub-genres. : ) I like a lot of other genres as well, but that's kind of where I make my home.

[R.n.P]

Action genre with lots of violence n bloodshed
THE LAST SAMURAI

[Michelle]

I like all sorts of horror, but especially psychological. :> Or just really bizarre horror like Junji Ito's work. If it's creepy or strange I always give it a look!

[mg78]

then there s the scifi stuff preference (in this option there re
as third option action or love stuff.
not allowed: "dramaaaah omg the dramaaah!!!21!$!!" stories.

[Ringarune]

usually a cute romance/drama, also like horror/gore stuff when I'm in the mood for it

[Shanny8]

Cant say. I pretty much watch a lot of stuff- Sci-Fi, Martial Arts, Action, Fantasy, Gritty Crime Drama, Superhero, Horror, Comedy, History type material, War movies, Westerns, Drama...

[lukesuperstarfish]

I absolutely love steampunk stuff, it's one of my favorite kind of genres. But i feel like i cant find enough of it.

[lukesuperstarfish]

Do you like the Warhammer series? that series is very sci-fi+magical+fantasy. i enjoy it thoroughly.

[lukesuperstarfish]

I tend to stick with the romance genre when nit comes to anime.

[jasperlizard]

I'll be willing to give pretty much any genre a try, but my personal favorites are high fantasy stuff (bonus points for non-human characters and tons of worldbuilding) and the kind of urban fantasy stuff typically associated with YA novels.

[kazukitakamura126]

I will watch/read any form of entertainment as long as it has a good story and character. Well everything except ecchi and harem (love triangles are okay but when its more than two it just gets ridiculous), I just can't stand them.

[dotsandswirls]

I like a lot of different genres, but I must say that my favorite one has always been romance.

[sincerely]

Space Opera for life!

[VermillionWorks]

I will watch/read any form of entertainment as long as it has a good story and character.

This.

I am very open to many genres, my favorites being horror, fantasy, sci-fi and any sort of dramatic story that's done well. I guess the one I tend to avoid the most is slice-of-life.....dunno why, it's just not my favorite. XP

[AnnaLandin]

@lukesuperstarfish Not particularly, no. : ) I have an old Warhammer rulebook sitting around my bookshelves somewhere (I used to build/paint the figures, because I thought they were cute, though I never actually played), and it's kind of charming in all its sincerity, but the tone and atmosphere of the stuff I've read/seen doesn't really suit me.

[GesuGesu]

comedy. hands down. If the comedy is sorta shitty, it's still hard to hate.

[demthorshie]

I prefer Fantasy, but I generally just like good comics regardless of the genre.

[BlackMantaStudios]

Fantasy, psychological horror, and comedy. Though I prefer the urban fantasy subgenre than the classic Tolkienesque high fantasy. It's nice to think that the fantastic and impossible lurks in the shadows of the normal and mundane.

This is the reason I love the SCP Foundation universe, for one.
