When I was younger, I was moved by horror/psychological thriller/violent anime. Think My Future Diary, Goblin Slayer, Steins Gate, School Live, just to name a few. It isn’t that I don’t love those themes anymore. My tastes have shifted.
Isekai. I really wasn’t a fan of the genre, but somewhere along my anime journey, I started appreciating the silliness of the isekai genre. A few of the more recent shows I enjoyed are:
- Shangri-La Frontier
- Campfire Cooking in Another World with My Absurd Skill
- Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation
- My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom!
- I’m the Villainess, So I’m Taming the Final Boss
Boys Love. We have Yuri on Ice to thank for my love of boys love. I don’t have much to add other than the relationship stories are usually so sweet. Here are a few that I’ve recently watched:
- The Other World’s Books Depend on the Bean Counter
- Yuri on Ice
- GIven
- Sasaki and Miyano
- Love Stage!!
- Twilight Out of Focus
Romance. I am not a sucker for romance anime. It used to not be my cup of tea, but I find myself gravitating toward it. It might be because the US is a crap state right now, and I just need to have a little love to perk me up. A few shows I’ve recently watched are:
- Tamon’s B-Side
- The Too-Perfect Saint: Tossed Aside by My Fiancé and Sold to Another Kingdom
- The Fragrant Flower Blooms with Dignity
- May I Ask for One Final Thing?
- Pass the Monster Meat, Milady
What about you? How have your tastes changed?
