Well there needs to be filler in long running shonens unless they have perfect pacing to never pass the manga, but for things like akame ga kill i agree, but still the original FMA anime was still great in it own way even with a filler ending.

Maybe decrease the amount of fanservice? Don't get me wrong I enjoy them (to an extent), but sometimes they become excessive, irrelevant and/or unnecessary.

I would change incomplete or unfaithful adaptations unless the adaptation are like Planetes where the original part expands and improves the world of the manga while still keeping the psychological part even though toned down.

A bit more yuri would be nice. In general people making anime know what they're doing and small studios can generally only make their way into the industry with low-risk series such as moe and ecchi so removing those would make it much harder for new studios to debut making older studios the only studios.

- Less wish-fullfilment LNs and more LN that are actually has good story and good characters.
- More realistic fight scenes and no more "Pointless monologue and flashback in the middle of the fight" crap.
- More 3-dimensional characters and less archetype like Tsunderes, Transfer student, etc.
- Don't rush a good story.
- Show, don't tell.

Since the deportation of the OAVs original "trend" to the late night TV case, those late-night "daring" anime have been drastically reduced and replaced by another trend, leading to their quasi-disappearance.
What I wish would change? A new format could appear to welcome this type of projects so they can blossom again. Or it could be injected back in OAVs. Anything who could reanimate it.

Second thing: another element of the past (I know everyone will shout at me because it implies the besst is in the past but it doesn't). More full-length series again, because they are so rare now. (obviously, it would reduce the quantity of 13eps ones)

Third thing: a bit more of original projects? (I can dream)


@Zaphkiel_El_Rem Your wish was heard: the 13 Re-Life episodes are released all at once this july.

now, I'm fine with fanservice and blood if it's fitting or creative, like in the Monogatari series, but then you get shows like Elfen Lied, which I gave a 1/10 because that's what is central to it. the story functions as an excuse to put blood and boobs everywhere and is secondary, lmao

Blood is fine. You cut and shoot things and they bleed. Do you really want people just covered up in scratches or blood completely ignored like some cartoon or censored anime? I can understand not liking excessive blood or something grotesque like Elfen Lied.

I'd remove excessive fan-service and unnecessary sexualization. I can understand fan-service being funny in healthy doses but it's so overused in modern anime that I find it insulting at times.

CGI will improve over time. CGI used in the 80s looks godawful compared to today, and in a few years people will think the same of now.

Nope, I disagree with the "I want characters to act like real people" notion...For starters, real people are boring AF!!!!!!!! Them there's the fact that many people got into anime because the characters are capable of being unrealistically quirky without casting aside all signs of human traits, providing a funny charm to them that people love so much...Of course you can have "real like" characters in " real like" series, but that's it...

For Anime to stop playing it safe and start utilizing the time in each episode.

Ecchi - stop the damn fanservice skits. We have OVAs for that. Those precious minutes could have been used for developing a story, character, or an element of interesting dialog/action. Wasted frames.

Action - get some original concepts? What the hell happened to concepts such as alchemy [FMA], showing magic in an underused way [Toaru Majutsu no Index], detailed creature transformations and descriptions [Terraformars], etc.

Atm, from what I watch, those are the only things ruining the experience from me watching more anime titles or from rating them higher in scale to my enjoyment.

As I would say in American Speak

If i'm going to see boobies and explosions, they better the best looking boobies I have ever seen and when shit blows it, it better be fucking awesome


For those hating on it, Ecchi doesn't fucking matter. It's the god damn fan service and specifically the perverted scenes that are on the spot that are wasting time. Sexy outfit, fine. Showing cleavage when talking, fine. Spend 2-5 minutes circlejerking between Towels, Pantie shots, and peaking in baths, no. Just no.

If by unrealistically quirky you mean categorizable, cookie-cutter personalities then yes I'd like to see less of that. With anime characters, most of the time, what you see is what you get.

True,while fantasy should have no limits, it somehow stops with stuck-in-a-game/isekai when it comes to anime. I would like to see some more urban fantasy/low fantasy. (and of course also not the magic battle school kind...)

As for ecchi, I don't think we necessarily need less of it. I actually think it would be better to have like one show a season,that focuses only on ecchi. Like make it really simple. Just have a simple school setting,throw in some quirky characters and just make a show based on comedy and ecchi moments. It wont be everyones cup of tea, but i think making 1-2 very ecchi shows is better than putting some watered-down stuff like panty shots into every single other show. And simple SoL/romcom ecchi has become somewhat rare anyways,most of it is in form of magic battle school stuff.

I don't get why so many people are harping on getting rid of ecchi as a genre. It baffles me when guys say that, like seriously.
I think there's not enough ecchi fanservice anime out there now as there was in previous years.

More bouncing tits and pantsu shots for everyone please! XD
That's what I want.

Also, need more faithful adaptations especially of VN's. Stop with the half-assed adapts production studios.

I would like to have more content like Lain, Boogiepop, Psycho-Pass, 5pb ";" adaptations, etc. As for "what is their content like", I'll leave that answer for your own judgement.

I would not, however, "remove" genre this or theme that. Because they're not BS. Maybe I think they're BS, which is a prerogative of mine. However, by "removing" them, I would have done exactly the same Japan did with anything slightly more sophisticated a level than "easy-to-digest".*

Don't even bother pointing exceptions, for that would just make my complain more clear and direct: they are exceptions. Comparatively, they maybe look the same as ever, in absolute numbers. Considering, however, the expansion of Anime industry and how it keeps growing every day, that's way far from enough. Try pre-listing next season by genre/theme and sort out e.g. slices and fantasy releases scheduled, then compare with other "less-favoured" genres and/or themes that same season.

I wouldn't mind at all having 40 or 50 Valkyrie-Drive-like releases per season IFF my own preferences were satisfied as well. Depriving others from their own - even hypothetically, in a sense of "what-if" - would be just plain selfishness, and would not help with the aforementioned issue.

I wish publishers would be more pickly when it comes to adapting a anime. Of all the new season anime, half of them are shounen/ecchi. Shounen and ecchi is fine, it's just that so many generic anime of these two genres get released all the time that I've reached saturation long time ago. I don't say stop releasing these two, just set a higher benchmark, challenge the studios to come up with interesting plots and characters, drop the overused generic tropes, try to introduce fanservice in a smart, less annoying and in your face way.
Also I wish the producers would let studios experiment a lot more (especially with anime only shows), there are hardly new anime that are willing to take a leap of faith for the sake of innovation, but alas anime is a industry and industries are run by supply and demand, not 'artistic views'.

Less focus on hyping it up, more focus on actually making it good. It easy to make a flashy and or colorful PV with an interesting concept. Cash grab shows like that loose hype fast.
And don't give me the: "It's not the creators fault a show get overhyped, it's the communities fault"
Are you trying to say that the people who make the PV don't know what makes people interested, and don't know how to professionally bait 'em?? Give me a break...

Hah! I'm one of those guys. I like ecchi, but I think light novel adaptations are pieces of cancer in the anime industry. It just leaves you out in the open as far as plot. Even two seasons or more of the series will have a terrible sense of closure. They could at least try and wrap it up in a way that has more closure. If you wanted to keep going and find out what happens, you'd have to hop on baka-tsuki or wait until it gets translated and published by Yen Press or some other North American licensing company. It goes without saying that it's a big hassle for people who don't know how to read Japanese or do not care to learn how.

Too many studios are taking these series and putting in way too little effort. It's more like an advertisement for the novels than a more or less independent adaptation.
