For reasons of lack of examples I will continue explanation on each team and the qualities of each.

Team 1: Team Mass Produced Anime

This team has the power of the masses, it has a solid start and a powerful original concept, it then degrades and becomes more or less a natural watch for the person. You just won't drop it out of fandom, or you might have a fetish about one of the characters. It's up to you. This team holds 75% of the favors of the public in general, will it here? Regardless girls will likely vote here if I write the following three character names: Sasuke, Ichigo, Gray. (thank me for not adding Gintama )

Others: I just listed that one up there. :p

Team 2: Old School Anime

This team has known glory, it has seen the face of bashdom, it had faded, yet it is always there to remind us of its former glory. It will keep inspiring often more than the current mass-produced anime team, but it will never make as much cash. Another way to style it would be "Team Anthology" or "Team Kamehameha". But it felt awkward in the name of the Hawaiian king who bolstered the same name. There is a bunch of warriors also, many of which have imaginary aural powers, and one that like to impersonate Bruce Lee. Their moto is: Atatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatataakamehamecosm oenergyblast. "

Others: There are too many to list.

Team 3: Team Memory

This team is likely one everyone has seen but may or may not explicitly hold any particular opinion about. The name "Memory" might reflect that to the majority: these anime don't really matter. . . Or do they? Whatever the case, Team Memory is here to remind us that it's there? Could be alternatively called "Team Indecisive" because most of the lead characters have never dated a girl successfully; no they didn't; and I attest to that.

Other could be Love Hina for example.

Team 4: Team of Epic

This team is like a dream team in extended, give any other team steroids or whatever, even if their genitals shrink while taking this risk: they still won't beat Team of Epic. Or will they? Still: Team epic comprises a Lunatic-Compulsive Teacher, a bunch of Douche Basketball players, a Masochist Driver and a Hyperactive Pre-Teen NEET.

Others include: Parody animes of many styles.

Team 5: Team of Emotions

If you are a girl and you voted here, you are normal be proud you will not be made fun of. In the other case: Bwahahahahahahaahahaha! You crybabies! How could you possibly vote here gee! Holy gee dudes! :p On a more serious note this group includes the usual Da Capo story type, which revolves around cherry trees, cute girls with no real appeal to anything but their eyes, and a strongly negative even that comes crushing the obviously player-meets-luck plot that would evolve without the sad event.

Others Include: Clannad, Green Green, Love Love and all the other loveydovey stuff.

Team 6: Team of Despair

Now if you vote here, you are brave, you probably have PTSD or maniacal traits. I have to admit I watched some of these to a degree and am still here to write this thread. In a nutshell, this includes anime that will lead you to confusion, or stress because of the obnoxious and passive linear evolution of the story. Don't you dare pretend you understand the ending to the first one, it would be a lie.

Others include: Actually it's hard to find others, but I am sure you could if you look around.

Team 7: Team School Drool

The standard anime that defines what everyone could/should/may/might watch, yet they don't because the anime doesn't manage to reach absolute fame thanks to the big 5. These anime range in humor and offer qualities both in voice acting, subtle and even sometimes large unexpected humor. Providing a standard, more standard than any standard can afford. This type of anime is mainstream, but never lasts for more than a 2 year craze while airing or not depending on length (give or take FMA). Some become popular some don't, it's the laws of market.

Others Include: Shijou Saikyou no Deshi Kenichi, Gatekeepers, Vandread

Team 8: Team Oddities

This team includes the most influent anime starting in the late 2005 Mo� craze, these anime have big eyes, lunatic characters, cuteness, Nerd cutout situations and cultural references to seduce the average viewer. Going for a formula of this type is rather cheap but it works for many people.

Others include: K-On, Shakugan no Shana, Zero No Tsukaima

Team 9: Team Robomob

This team takes an active role in promoting space adventures of various kinds. Often lacking humor, but sometimes overusing it in the wrong way, this team is fading away with the years. The strong part about this team is that it will give the average fanboy thrills. Rarely has a girl joined this group. But it is not impossible to see it happen!

May include: Mars Daybreak, Sousei no Aquarion, Soukyuu no Fafner, Captain Herlock. ( no, Infinite Stratos doesn't count) :p

Team 10: Team Rocket

This team always fails, somehow people buy it though. . .

Others: Justin Bieber, Lady Gaga ( the same argument as line right above)

I dabble a bit. I watch some of the memory, some of the mainstream, some of school drool. (Yes, FMA.)

Didn't think Oddities would be ahead already... I guess a lot of people like slice of life, as do I.

I don't know what kind of poll that's supposed to be. I voted, but I like several of those options. Bummer.

Despair fits best, and, interestingly, mass produced the least. I hate each single one mentioned...

Wellll... Some amine coming out now like Attack on Titan may fit into several of those categories, but I guess I'll go with Team despair. But only if it has a happy ending. =D

I have been torn between the second team and the fifth team but have chosen the latter option. ;) I like a lot of old animes but what's important for me is atmosphere of an anime and not its age. My favourites include "Nagi no asu kara" (2013-2014), "Heartcatch PreCure" (2011), "Idol Master: Xenoglossia" (2007), "THE IDOLM@STER" (2011) and "THE IDOLM@STER: Cinderella Girls (2015).

i am with the Team 1 or T1, the mass produced anime simply because it lists 2 of my most favorite anime's ever. i can also go with T2 (old school) and T6 (the despair) i just like the feeling of helplessness among the leads before the characters reach their turning points, and ultimately push their limits with their resolves and defeats their nemesis in the long run.


(just a heads up: don't be fooled by my avatar simply because its not of anime origins but i could safely say i had my fair share of animes and i do love it)

Well, since the examples listed in Robomob are technically Old School as well, I went with that one.
