Typically most anime are comprised of cute characters in a slice of life or romance genre, which is not a bad thing, if it wasn't in such overwhelming numbers. I'd like to see more anime explore death as theme in itself and how it affects us all. It doesn't necessarily need action to do this, although I'd like to see more military anime with death as its centralized theme. http://myanimelist.net/anime/12157/Busou_Chuugakusei:_Basket_Army This anime is interesting but simply lacks time. It consists of 5 episodes lasting 4 minutes each so at least watch episode one. For example: The first episode or so introduce the characters as they bond and create friendships through their course of training as soldiers. The next few episodes depict the characters fears as they are thrown into the midst of war going on between nations. Their country is currently losing the war and are unable to receive aid from other countries as there are no methods for allies to enter the country which has been surrounded by enemy forces. As episodes begin to past, the main characters begin to die off or get seriously wounded in the war. The anime should show the psychological impact this has on other characters. The characters also begin to realize that the people they have been killing to protect their comrades also has family and friends to return to, exploring the harsh injustice of war. The anime can also further express this through the gore in its art. The music should at LEAST comprise of military anthem and some orchestral song that we relate to as military like - much like the main theme in "Band of Brothers". Actually now that I think about it, I'd like to see an adaptation of "Band of Brothers" into an anime. Well, what types of anime do YOU want to see more of? And if you could list an example, it'd be interesting to see what it's like. |

We need more cyberpunk and steampunk anime and anime about MILFs being cute and doing cute things instead of underaged looking highschool moe girl anime. |

Today's anime consists mostly of Loli stuff and also Imouto stuff which is kind of annoying since there are just too many. I could even say that 70-80% of the shows are of those stuff I mentioned. Also there are a lot of unique anime out there but they suck. Today's anime need to segregate their plot a little more. So many shows have so much potential but they abandon that potential just for the sake of cramming it in 13 episodes. |

I wish they diminish the cliche and fillers of the shows. Add more psychological and seinen genre. |

It's like Symbv said. Some people in the western fanbase are too obsessed with 'plot', while the Japanese fans can appreciate other stuff, and are not too fixated on one thing. |

I'm trying, but psychological/military are very hard to find these days. |
