| I haven´t seen a lot of horror/gore anime lately so I would like this genre to recieve more attention (and to become better because a huge amount of this genre is shit) |
| I've yet to see little no proper zombie survival anime. HOTD is probably the only one I've heard of and seen |
| Are we really gonna make it..? |
| space horror, and sci-fi in general |
  |
| I want more shit in the "Dementia" genre. The shows, shorts, and movies in that genre are always interesting. Not always amazing, but interesting. |
  |
| More adventure anime with a cast that isn't either harem or reverse harem. Gimme a good mixture of males and females on an adventure together. Road trip animes are always so good. Also bring back the cop/crime genre. The closest thing to it lately has been kekkai sensen but that was over a year ago now. And it was just one show |
Ericonator said: By definition, everything is retro since by the time you realize something has happened it's already in the past.  |
| shounen ai or yaoi there are so few of those that are actually worth watching. |
 |
| Kaiju genre. It's weird how little we have kaiju in anime when kaiju was such a popular genre in Japan. Horror and its every subgenre is under represented in animanga. Mahou shoujo, I just want more mahou shoujo beside Precure that isn't parody or aimed at adult men. |
 |
| Honestly don't think I have a right to complain when there's still so much from every genre that I haven't seen yet and am interested in. |

| Are there any yuri harem anime in existence? The closest thing to it I know of is a hentai OVA, "Shoujo Sect", and I wasn't especially looking for hentai (or even ecchi necessarily). |
A møøse once bit my sister... |
| Actually good horror. We need more shit like perfect blue. Like i know you've got it in you japan |
Maneki-Mew said: HopefulNihilist said: I am not just orienting on tags. There are no scenes in Made In Abyss that explore the character's psyche. What does, "how the viewer felt towards a scene" has to do with a what the genre is? If I laughed when watching Berserk, would that make Berserk a comedy? Psychological horror also could describe the impact on the audience. I said nothing more than that!? Nah my dude that's just not really true. By that description basically anything could count as psychological horror. Made in Abyss used cute character designs and extreme violence to create a really unique piece of shock horror, but that's all it really was. Making the audience feel shocked doesnt mean its a psychological horror. |

Maybe Strawberry Panic!? Although, I think that show may put more of an emphasis on a monogamous romance rather than a harem. |
| I'd like some anime about super robot beating the shit out of giant monsters and other super robots. Prefrably no 3D cgi. Also more magical girls series aimed at teens. Precure is fun and all, but I'm ready for some Sailor Moon again. konkelo said: Kaiju genre. It's weird how little we have kaiju in anime when kaiju was such a popular genre in Japan. What's weird about it? Most kaiju and toku fans are in it for the costumes, stunts and special effects. All which don't exist in anime. They already have their own niche and production culture, which predates the existence of anime. |

Netflix has their Godzilla movies and then there're western Godzilla cartoons, King Kong has American-Japanese animation, those are all I know of that are exclusively kaiju animations. A lot less than animated toku superhero (inspired) tv shows. Special effects, stunts etc. I personally would see possibility taking them to next level with animation with out restrictions. |

| The horror genre is severely lacking. We need more stuff like Shiki and Higurashi. |
| Like, an anime where you get reborn in some other world man. What a totally unique idea that would be. Seriously, I think history is an underdeveloped genre in anime. Sure you get fantasy settings but I can't think of many set outside of Japan that focus on real events. Rainbow: Nisha Rokubō no Shichinin had a great interpretation of Post WW2 in Japan, as did Kamogawa's flashback sequence in Hajime no Ippo. I'm sure none of us will forget Ghibli's Hotaru no Haka. I quite enjoy seeing the old trading practices in Spice and Wolf, and when characters develop our past advancements in crop rotation, filtration and agriculture in shows such as The Ancient Magus' Bride and Maoyuu Maou Yuusha and these weren't even the focus of these shows. Actually Maoyuu Maou Yuusha had an interesting little bit about army formations but only for a single episode In Gate the legions of halberdiers and foot soldiers looked amazing marching together, I think the final season of Shakugan no Shana had a great arc where they were commanding full scale armies. I can imagine a show with full scale armies to be pretty awesome. Unfortunately this is anime and high animation quality of this nature will have a high production value. |
Reina_Orikasa said: Hmm it's not really a genre but I would actually like to see more anime based around college life rather than high school. or just some good seinen anime in general tbh |

Pullman said: We need more long-running battle shounen. Remember when there were like 4 or 5 of them airing? Now we just have One Piece and fucking Boruto. I (sadly) don't think we'll get much shows like that anymore, the anime industry seems to have, mostly, switched to a multi-season format. From now on I think series like Boku no Hero Academia, Shokugeki no Soma and Bungo Stray Dogs (not sure if that last one qualifies as a battle shounen though) will be the norm. The upside of that is that there will be far less filler and higher consistent quality, the downside being the wait between seasons. Personally I'm hoping for some actual scary horror series and not some boring gorefest, I just can't seem to find any that appeal to me. Most of them I drop before the 4-episode mark. The last show I tried and actually finished was Another and that one felt like a failed Final Destination. |
All according to keikaku Read my terrible fanfictions here |
| We need more college shows. Look at the list of current or past ones... Honey & Clover, Tatami Galaxy, Run with the Wind, Grand Blue, Golden Time. College shows are awesome, we need more. |
| “I just spent the last two years thinking that you guys knew more than me about life and I just found out that you guys are just as dumb as me.” “Duh-doy.” “Yeah, duh-doy.” |
| Okay, this is not a "genre", but it is an idea. An actual gay main character. I have seen over one thousand anime series and cannot name literally one leading protagonist that is gay, and not taken advantage of and being reduced as a trope. This is most likely because a lot of ideas from a lot of these authors are from sheltered otakus writing the equivalent of self insert fanfiction and they have barely any idea how a character with a different sexuality, written with the slightest bit of realism (which is admittedly vague and nebulous) works. I know it's a challenge, of course it is, it's a balancing act of not trying to piss off people, and challenging yourself to write something out of your comfort zone, but it can work, just requires a lot of research. |

| Need shounen-ai with good story, or coupled with another genre that holds the main storyline. Mo Dao Zu Shi, No. 6, Banana Fish type sheet |

Shymander said: Good Shounen Ai/Yaoi that isn't rapey. [sarcasm] Yeah Because that’s what we need more male sexism/objectification Who cares what you think I still think there needs to be better BL anime. |
|
| Purely subjective, but I still think we need a good survival game anime. I still have yet to find a really well made anime within the genre. |
 |
| I’m a fan of thrillers, especially psychological ones or involving a conspiracy. There’s a decent number, but I haven’t watched any recently. I kinda want to see an actual chess anime (but there are shogi anime as that’s basically Japanese chess). Maybe anime that takes place in college instead of high school, especially if it’s a magical college or something. |
Supernerd1992 said: kingdommoutenfan said: Who cares what you think I still think there needs to be better BL anime. We need less sexist garbage [yaoi, shoujo, shounen ai, Josei, Reverse harems] More good genres Ecchi, harem, comedy’s, action, Yuri There are plenty of those genres ecchi is crap and so is harem so why do we need more of them there is at least one every season. |
|
| Horror immediately comes to mind, but I'd also like yuri/yaoi anime that isn't rape-y or heavily focuses on 'taboo' (age gap, incest, etc.). |
  |
| Military anime. And I don't mean Attack on Titan or Fullmetal Alchemist type of military (altough both are great), I mean non-fantasy anime about war. Like Saving Private Ryan or Pacific type of anime. I feel like the number of these types of shows is close to zero. |
ChroNoiR Episode.0 is the best anime to ever exist Kanae forever in my heart |
Rescue22 said: Definitely Shonen........kidding, of course. Personally I'd say that we could use more high-quality sports anime. Shows like Haikyuu!!! are very rare in this genre and that makes me quite sad. Just a random pipe dream of mine but I've always wanted to see a really good American Football anime although I know it'll probably never happen because it's such a niche sport in Japan. There's loads, you just haven't watched them yet. Ashita no Joe Baby Steps Chihayafuru Cross Game Diamond no Ace Eyeshield 21 (American Football) Hajime no Ippo Major Prince of Tennis Slam Dunk Yowamushi Pedal Diamond no Ace and Kuroko are both very similar to Haikyuu. |
