Anime as most people know is extremely varied, from all sorts of time periods, people, genres, settings and atmospheres. So I guess what I'm asking is what you wish was more prevalent in anime?

For me it would definitely have to be vikings, there are no anime with a central theme of vikings and thats makes me very sad :( There are some with references to Nord mythology like Ah! My Goddess and Jormungand, but really no vikings at all in anime despite how fucking awesome they are. There is however Vinland Saga for manga and it's easily one of my favorite manga out there. I'm not aware of anything else out there though, so yeah we need more vikings.

The other thing I would like to see more of is chainsaws, the only anime in recent memory to have chainsaws is Kore wa zombie desu ka? Which is an ecchi harem =/ I remember some older anime having a few like Highlander and Violence Jack, but yeah chainsaws just don't seem to have a big presence in anime.

So yeah what you like to see more of?

About archer. Nowdays action anime is about fist, magic, sword or gun. I want anime with the main character or main cast is an archer or about archery in general.
Kickstarter for Rokujouma is fully funded. Good work everyone. Lets wait for the result of our hard work together.

Spaghetti western anime. (With a high budget)

I would still like to see a Harry Potter anime. As painful as it is to say that (I normally hate that stuff), I can see it working wonders if they make some tweaks and put their "Japanese twist" on it.

Kagome is good example. Maybe the archer enchanted with magic.

You know those episodes in Naruto where they seemed to switch to a completely different animation studio (example; Naruto vs Sasuke). I'd like to see more of that cinematic style action in anime. Also really well choreographed fight scenes and more descriptive posing (like that seen in Bakemonogatari).

Ah I know of a short. It's about the archery club and the series pretty much revolves around a trap. Lol. The series itself is pretty bad though. o3o

Anyways, my current needs are pretty fulfilled, nothing really comes to mind at the moment.

Yup. I only marathon series that are longer than 13 episodes. I made the mistake of trying to watch Bakuman 3 weekly and it's killing me.

There is an anime with a central theme of vikings. That is, Vicky the Viking (TV series) based on Vicke Viking written by Runer Jonsson. Also there are other anime related to Norse mythology.

Plot-holes don't apply to series which completely ignore time and dimension. It makes everything completely liable.

more of whatever you would classify nichijou as. (extremely well animated absurd slapstick?)

and more epic.

theres been a real shortage lately. im all for a good SOL but there really needs to be more hot blooded EPIC. there hasnt been many at all, especially in the last few years, the rebuild movies are the only exception i can see to this.

my idea of epiic

princess mononoke
nausicaa
rebuild of evangelion
TTGL (duh)
death note
akira
summer wars (to a lesser extent)
voices of a distant star

and on the other side of the spectrum
and more films in the vein of makoto shinkais works.

absurdly good animation/art style, amazing soundtracks and small stories focused on small groups of characters with memorable stories

This, too. I'm not a fan of mixing and matching parts from different stories. I also don't like it when they put filler for no reason.

Legend of the Galactic Heroes has fleets of ships vs fleets of ships, like in the 50k+ range

Protag(s) are very tactic (with some mind games thrown in too) oriented. Not sure if this interests you or not, but somewhat fits.

Not bad. I like this idea.
Also I think more animes like Gintama...when funny - hilarious funny, when serious - grave serious, good development for the characters , splendid animation original plot and good sense in the show.
And more good hentai :D

And contrary I personally don't need any more flashy animated sparkling moe half naked huge bouncing breasted tsunderes then there already are o.O
