Complex philosophical and religious debates between historical persons depicted as super powered fights but in reality they're just conversations and dialogs.

Makeine is very unique acc to me.
Focusing on losing girls while also parodying romcoms is genius.

I have no idea if it's done before though but probably not in such proper way.

Digimon and Pokémon, the monster concept was perfect when I was a child and is still perfect to this day, sadly not enough anime use the concept

Also love DeDeDeDe for being an apocalypse story from the eyes of mostly normal people with no ability to change the course of the world

@JoeChip I know, but the anime was what got me fall in love with the story (also there wasn't an easy access for the games for me)
Also technically digimon is tomogachi

@JoeChip I assumed that's the case, but it probably applies to most concepts as well, so I just mentioned one of my favorites.

I'm still very attracted to the concept in Uraboku of being in love with the person irrespective of their gender like how Yuki was a girl in his past life and Luka loved her and he still continued to love Yuki in his current life where he was born as a boy.

@tchitchouan I thought hentai applied only to anime and not visual novels. Rance VI and Brutal King are visual novels (eroge to be more specific). the one that got a hentai adaptation is Rance I

I don't pay attention to the plots of anime very much. Frankly, there is hardly anything worthwhile in the plots of anime shows.

Gintama—where do I even begin? The concept of an alternate-history Edo period invaded by aliens is so wildly original and entertaining, plus Gintama loves to poke fun at historical figures and world trends with a modern twist!
you can't help but wonder how no one thought of it before. Plus, the meta-humor and fourth-wall breaks are just chef's kiss.

Banana cats from the Bananya franchise. Cute cats that are also bananas, or maybe bananas that are cats at the same time? I don't remember the canon answer.

The whole concept of fate. Master and servants, cool heroes, tactics and noble phantasm were pretty cool.
If you enjoyed the time you wasted, then its not a waste of time.

Probably Stands from Jojo. The idea of having a physical manifestation of one's fighting spirit is a really fun concept, and I like how a lot of them tie in to the music that inspired them

i think the concept of serial experiments lain is soo sick and unique, like the whole thing with the wired and the bits and pieces of information that you get, which you have to figure out yourself.. :D also the aspects of internet and identity, i think it's just so fascinating, especially since you can interpret the anime in your own way.
also the promised neverland season 1, these smart kids trying to escape the orphanage and being in a sort of mental warfare against their "mother" is just a great concept imo. i don't know whether it's that unique, but definitely a cool premise for an anime

If you liked Bungo Stray Dogs OP then try Re:Creators, same general idea, the power of authors creations come to life and battle each other.

There's so many wacky concepts in anime it's hard to pick one. Akiba Maid Wars was pretty unique, gangster maids set in 90's Akiba. Penguindrum and Princess Tutu are unique and very different. Take your pick from any range of out there sci-fi shows like Brave Bang Bravern, Samurai Flamenco, GitS SAC, and that's not even touching upon wacky OVA's with crazy premises.

For me one of the 'coolest' concepts is a simple one, a fixer in 80's Tokyo sorts out messes, and tries to pick up women, City Hunter. It's cool, funny, action, fun characters and great vibe.

very few Mecha designs out there even begin to approach it's tangible sense of Verisimilitude;
