presuming it doesn't matter whether it's popular or not,

if there were to be a sudden recent boost in more anime being made for a specific genre or thing what'd you want it to be? personally it'd be cool to see a giant space anime flood out of nowhere, or for some kind of punk themed anime.
I like Közi a healthy amount.

I love shows with historical settings! Anime is surprisingly lacking in utilising such settings, it’s all set in the modern day or in a vague final fantasy esque fantasy worlds with little aesthetic or cultural ties to real life places.

We need more historical dramas!

I would love to see some realistic space travel anime (i.e. no super powers and no warp engines). I have a couple of things in my watch list that might fit the bill but overall I think there could be some fresh stories to tell there.

I need more dark fantasy anime and/or anime with themes that revolve around people's perception of the truth/value of existence, whether its nihilism like ^^^ or something else

I wish there were anime based on a person's real life I just know one ghibli movie, there should be more psychological horror or survival horror anime and an anime on chess, not Japanese shogi.

Non harem romance animes without love polygon drama. Even better if they are set in a fantasy world and the characters belong to the aristocracy.

we need more depressing animes. there's too much of hopefullness, happiness, power of friendship, happy life, giving up on revenge etc. we need some real dark shit with bad guys doing bad things and them winning. there should be hopelessness, terror, fear, everything should be fucked. it should make not only make the characters who are suffering depressed but the viewers watching the anime too. animes which will make you question if any human is even capable of performing acts like this, even in fiction.

The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama.

Historical fantasy without Josei/shoujo aspects. Bakarina kinda sucks but Nee-chan Maaya Uchida (sister with Japan's hawtest shitposter) is kinda garbage but it is good for shits and giggles. It looks like a Ouran (worst manga ever). It's Kind Of Funny How Female Targetted LN GetcAway With Sexist Jokes More Than The Male Targetted Ones Do. #ReadtheBibleInstead.

I agree with this, but usually Europe dominates with shows surrounding this genre. I was on a binge for a while watching historical drama period pieces (live action) and there's so many of them it felt endless but enjoyable to watch nonetheless and they usually have more mature themes in them as well.

ah, I considered it but there might be too much to put on a poll, I was looking for more specific user thought up answers e.g. "chess"
my wording might have been weird there but I meant "giant space anime flood" as a big influence of space anime suddenly becoming popular, not as in "giant space" being the genre whoops

either way interesting answers given on the thread I like what a lot of people have said so far I'm glad I made it

well, "Historical" might be the closest approximation. I just want to see more anime set in the victorian age. Steampunk works too. And not only because of the pretty girl clothes but because it's such a great setting for adventures.

I would love if the industry went back like the old times and made more anime with space or cyberpunk genres. Post apocalyptic is also a great genre that we do not see alot in anime which I would love to see it come back (example: Fist of the North Star.)

Definitely historical, with focus on non-Japanese history. Also well written military stories would be nice.
