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.

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:


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.

With popular here I meant, the amount of battle anime. There are more romance/Mecha/SoL anime than battle anime for example.

I laughed when you put good and this http://myanimelist.net/anime/21273/Gochuumon_wa_Usagi_Desu_ka into one sentence :D

if that's not the exact type of garbage show that the OP was complaining about then I don't know xD
What's the appeal of this? do you hate stories where there's actually a plot and not just little girls pandering to the otaku fanbase?

I was just talking about recent anime being more likely SoL or romance - that type of stuff, not all anime. - Just recent ones.

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.
