Lately I find myself back to anime but a lot of stuff typically in your average anime is something I want to avoid:

- NOT about high school kids in a highschool environment or any younger kids in their environments.
- NOT a lot of episodes. I can go up to 50, but anything longer than that is a big no-no.
- NOT a slow paced show. Some series are qualified as action but has a bunch of ridiculously long dialogues (Index, Katanagatari) that feels lacking in purpose. Or some slice of life shows has absolutely no plot-driven material (Aria)
- NOT overdosed with pointless fanservice or excessive moeblobs.
- (preferably) NOT horror. I don't find killing a bunch of people for the sake of scaring me as something I'd enjoy in.
- NOT too old. My threshold is probably at 2000. Unless it has exceptional animation like Akira.
- The MC isn't a complete and utter idiot.

- Something extraordinary. I mean literally extra ordinary. I don't really want a series about people doing mundane things talking about mundane events. It can be something supernatural, it can be a scifi, it can be about a fantasy universe, etc.
- Actually ends. Not really in the mood for something that MIGHT have more seasons or forever lost in anime and forced to read manga/novels/VNs to make up for it.

Thanks for reading.

I was about to recommend the same - but he has seen it already

try out Ghost Hunt, I think you'd like it... I hope ;w; It is tagged as horror but only one arc was scary to me.. and I'm a scaredy-cat, so.. :D

Great suggestions thus far. People actually read my criteria, QQ.

I think I'll put Zetsuen no Tempest and Mushishi on my PTW.
