Also, I would like to have more animes with the setting of the cliched, bad horror movies where a lot of people is gathered and some monster/serial killer/spirit starts to kill them one by one. The cast would be big (17/20 people at least) and have the typical tropes of those movies, we would have characters like the stupid bimbo, the guy who starts joking and dies the first, the unlikeable prick... and situations who would end being unintentionally hilarious due the stupidity of the characters.

Basically something like Mayoiga + Danganronpa. That would be beautiful.

hmm, I cant think of that many but anyways...

+1 on gay/bisexual harem

A really ridiculous horror/comedy slasher kind of anime,it shouldn't be serious at all, just a lot of blood splashing and jumpscares. Definitely more focused on the comedy aspect of it.

Idk, I'd definitely like to see more feels-y (or just romance/harem) VN adaptations,similar to KEY stuff... I know adaptating VNs is kind of controversial, but most of it is still better than freaking mobile game adaptations.

Also, another really weird one.... I want to see a legit stupid reverse harem. Like make the female protagonist dense af, make her fall on guys crotches and make her walk in on guys changing. And of course the guys also have to act like all the typical harem archetypes. Have a tsundere guy yell "aaa baka baka you saw my ochinchin!!!!" If done right,this could be the funniest shit ever.

on a more serious note,maybe more varied fantasy settings? We have enough medieval-esque rpg inspired stuff. elf girls,dragons, magic swords and potions get boring after a while.
Maybe a setting based on ancient antique cultures? or somethings steampunk/18th century related? Or just some straight up wacky shit involving dinosaurs and building rollercoasters on the moon XD

The really stupid reverse harem idea indeed sounds like THE FUNNIEST SHIT EVER XD
If this helps, there actually exists a harem manga where the protag is gay but he ends up being caught in stupid situations n sht
If u want I can link you it :p

Also since u sound like u want to see a new-ish setting then theres a manga where the guys are in a dungeon and try to survive and eat weird sht lol


well, I think there is a manga for literally anythings xD too bad most will never get animated.

Dungeons kind of fall under the rpg fantasy category though? then again I'm still open to it being presented in a new/unique way. I'm just tired of the OP protag fighting monsters with some elf/cat girl harem on the side.

like someone above said, more steampunk anime would be hella awesome, imagine things like airships, walkers in combat and MC is an avid mechanic or a poor inventor

what about an anthology/hyper link cinema anime that has multiple short stories with different settings and time but are all connected for a greater meaning. it's kinda like the Animatrix, but need more connection, like Pulp Fiction, or even better with historical and future settings like Cloud Atlas.

what do you think?

A serious survival anime with a above average old guys against calamities. It could be SnK with older charcaters. Something like The Walking Deed.
Or a story with no MC getting powered up for plot purposes. I don't know how to express it. But it's something like Game Of Thrones where there's a lot of throne claimer and no you can't know who's the one the authour will choose as the last one standing.

I feel like if anime tried high fantasy of the level of Lord of the Rings, it would utterly fail. People talk about worldbuilding in anime all the time, but the fact is that there's rarely any anime that really expands its world to the extent that LoTR did, and I use "rarely" as a really loose conditional, because I'm fairly certain there isn't.

In addition, I think any attempt at really trying to bring that about would be difficult and likely fail. One because I don't know anyone in the industry who can ado it, and two because I think a Japanese high fantasy experience should be centered primarily on Japanese mythologies, legends, and lore, which I think is vastly more esoteric, if taken seriously, to most people as opposed to how normal the concept of elves/dwarves/orcs are in the West.

I`m still waiting for an anime about professional gaming. I think anime is perfect for this idea, because you would be able to portray how a gamer is slowly immersed into an imaginary world and how his thoughts gradually change over time (Beginning = Nothing serious and just having fun; Professional = This is my life and I have to dedicate 10 hours a day to this)
I remember looking through Facebook and saw a 'news' thing that Gamespot were showing a trailer for an anime based on E-sports. Though I literally could not find any other sources on that (even Japanese ones).

As for me personally, uhhhhh court room drama? Hockey? An adaptation of Holyland?

Well I can't say Araragi is braindead but not clever too.

Usually every girl rekt her with dialogues.Espacilly Ougi.But like I said it's %50-50 maybe we can add it becuase of the lack of anime in this category.

An anime where the characters play some tabletop RPG is something that I've been wanting since forever, basically. Could be comedy, drama, slice-of-life, or whatever.

I'm actually surprised that it doesn't exist yet, considering that TRPGs have a strong following in Japan, from what I've heard, having many different systems published, a bunch of "replays" (basically, game recordings/dramatizations), and even some anime that have a strong relationship with those (like the Lodoss series).

Series that take place in Europe during the first half of the 20th century.
I'm not talking about a steampunk alternate future. I mean like actual 'similar to real history' kind of thing.
Outside of the Fullmetal Alchemist series and Gosick, I'm not aware of any others.

I'm not 100% sure, but I haven't seen the following in anime:

Brain in a vat.... Basically, a matrix type anime, obviously it doesn't have to be about the Matrix, but a story about a person finding out he's living in a simulated reality he believes is real but is not....thus questioning his entire sense of what "real" is.

"Huh huh, I'm looking for a "schoolboy gets caught in video game world" anime. Too bad there's no anime like that around and only cute girl shit anime"

The best ideas to resort to for the anime industry or ideas that are so over the top stupid that it becomes a legitimate idea. Ideas for new anime types have the luxury to be really creative because in most cases the art style supports the fact that it's far from real life.

Have you seen Aestetica of a Rouge Hero? The MC is a clever bad ass who does the most dickish shit to produce results when no one expects it. I don't know if it is considered to be a harem, but you can tell a lot of the female characters want the D, and he does pervy shit regularly. The character designs might throw you off, but I quite like the characters themselves.

It's been done as an one-shot manga, but the anime world really needs a harem series with a gay MC. That is surrounded by girls. With all those shitty over-used tropes, with tsunderes, boob-grabs, crash-into hellos and whatnot. But with a gay MC. That, if done well, would be absolutely revolutionary.

Historically accurate period anime besides Samurai anime (I think) are non-existent as far as I know. So a historically accurate (as much as possible) war drama set in Europe or preferably anywhere else outside Japan.

i can still dream

i think it could work but it really depends on how well the lotr films did in japan. if there is actually some interest there it could be worth it

From Wiki:
She considers herself a lesbian, fujoshi, lolicon and masochist. Her hobbies include reading yaoi literature and playing basketball. Although her sexuality is clearly homosexual, she does not have a hard time interacting with males, and even goes so far as to make aggressively flirtatious remarks when she is friends with the person she talks to (i.e. Araragi). According to Tsubasa, this aspect of Suruga's character is unsettling, describing her as "polite but inconsiderate"
