Doesn't Black Jack/Young Black Jack follow that?

also

- An anime based in the middle east.
JoJo Pt.3 was pretty much entirely situated around the whereabouts lol. Currently airing F/GO Babylonia also takes place in Uruk (which is akin to ~Iraq)

and

- An anime centered around the life of parenting.
Usagi Drop is there for that.

Bebop_Hakusho said:
Also Wolf Children (Ookami Kodomo no Ame to Yuki)

is an even better example

moreover

- An anime from the perspectives of politicians.
Babylon is pretty much focusing around that (the whole 2nd half is even from the perspective of a big one)

but I've never seen an anime focus on motorsports, like F1 or SuperGT, especially considering how popular it is in nippon. The closest is Capeta, but that mainly focuses on karting iirc

Mushishi is basically a much more interesting version of a traveling country doctor show. (Bonus points if you're a germophobe)

While it may not be focused completely on prostitution, Gangsta explores the profression pretty in depth. Also there are multiple episodes dealing with it Samurai Champloo. So guess you mean you just want a show about the daily life of one.

I could be wrong as I haven't finished it but doesn't Jormungand take place mostly in the Middle East?

Then you need to watch more anime:

Middle East- Jojo part 3 and Magi
Politicians- Sanctuary

And a long with hundreds of manga of all of the things you listed.

For the last point --

Politics itself is boring as fuck, especially Japanese politics. Parliamentary systems don't have the same entertaining vibe as the US's great bicameral, separation-of-power chaos. A good anime centered around a politician is impossible to do without adding some kind of subplot. Even in real life, an interesting politician would be trying to fight for something-- fighting for change, revolution, rebellion, whatever it may be. But then story is then no longer centered around just the politician themselves, but also focuses on the world, the people, the hierarchy that they want to change.

Imo the closest anime to focusing on politicians is probably Maoyuu Maou Yuusha, albeit it's in a Medieval-like world where both demons and humans exist. Code Geass, Yona of the Dawn, Kingdom, Arslan Senki etc. etc. are similar.

The number of topics that anime has not covered is so huge, that I can't make a list. Because Japan, to my knowledge, is a culture that, unlike America, is very shy of any topics that can be considered taboo (LGBT, prostitution, mental illnesses especially), anime will always reflect that, as long as it lets its culture tie it back.
EDIT: I wanted to clarify my comment on LGBT. Yes, anime has explored gay relationships, but not really the idea of people being transgender, or transexual. Sure, Wandering Son is about transexuals, but that's only one, to my knowledge.
EDIT: Yes, anime like Welcome to the NHK feature a protagonist who suffers from a mental illness, but it is never explicitly stated. There haven't been many mental disorders explored in anime, aside from NHK exploring schizophrenia, Higurashi and Future Diary exploring vague insanity. For example, there are no anime, to my knowledge, that explore bipolar, autism, explicitly.

There have been several yuri/yaoi anime. You see some gay people here and there but not a lot since they are not obsessed with minorities like unfortunately here in America. There was even a transgender anime a few years back although it did not do well. I am assuming that is the only one.

Prostitution there is literally one airing right now about it??????

We don't need a anime about mental illness. Why would we?

Skateboarding. There's an anime for nearly every other sport, why not that too?
I'm guessing it's maybe not as popular a topic in Japan than in the west but there's characters in anime that use skateboards like Killua and that one guy from K Project, so why not a whole series on it?

Yeah, I should've been more specific with the LGBT thing. I meant like, the idea of being transgender, I don't think has been explored in anime.
Which anime has explored prostitution and mental illness, while explicitly stating what the mental illness is? For example, Welcome to the NHK, the MC is clearly schizophrenic, but the anime never explicitly says this, and it's played for laughs for the most part.

I haven't watched Psycho Pass, nor have I read much about it, so I have no clue how Psycho Pass explores mental illness.
Perfect Blue, I haven't watched yet, but based on what I've heard of it, it seems to follow the classic kind of insanity, like in Higurashi: in which the protagonist starts hallucinating or something, but isn't clearly diagnosed a specific mental illness. When I was writing my original post about mental illnesses, I was thinking more along the lines of, "Bipolar, schizophrenia, autism, explicitly stated." I probably should've clarified that.

Oh, thank you for the compliment.

Gosick - MC wears Gothic Lolita
Rozen Maiden - girls wear Classic/Sweet/Gothic Lolita
Paradise Kiss - one of MC wears Classic/Sweet Lolita

Just because I'm a member on this site, doesn't mean I'm always up to date with all the news. I haven't seen Ishuzoku Reviewers, I've only read the synopsis, which doesn't mention prostitution.

Kayle_x_Morgana said:

I don't understand: doesn't the idea of an anime that explores the struggles that mentally ill people face sound interesting? I mean, there are drama anime about characters coping with death, which is seen as interesting by most. Welcome to the NHK is about a NEET. If you ask me, the idea of an anime about a NEET is less interesting than an anime about mentally ill people, but NHK turned out to really execute itself well.
I mean, Welcome to the NHK is about a guy who clearly has schizophrenia, and it's widely beloved. Although my problem with NHK is that it doesn't explicitly address Satou having schizophrenia, focus on his struggles with it, because it's mainly played for laughs.

Why do people on MAL loathe the idea of diversity so much? Diversity won't necessarily affect the quality of an anime, but it's a cool detail, that's important for minorities. If you're a straight white male with no mental disorders, then of course, you most likely can't understand what it's like to not feel represented. Are most people on this sight right wing? I'm not asking out of spite; I'm legitimately curious. Because I'm left wing, I hate sjws and what, but the sheer hatred that other people on this site have towards this kinda stuff is ridiculous; bordering on paranoia.

I've been into Lolita Fashion for ages and even I must admit that anime focusing only on the said topic would be boring as hell. Well, it may work as a short series, but as a regular length one? Nah, no way, it's too niche and will never be commercially successful.

Also tried reading Iryuu: Team Medical Dragon. Not sure about that one yet, need to read more of it.
But yeah, there's not much to choose from. Also no clue why someone in here recommended Brynhildr. How is that a remotely accurate portrayal of medicine? Besides that, the anime is REALLY bad.

Also someone in here mentioned Mushishi. Not realistic, but that is as close as you can get to a doctor-like portrayal in anime. Something similar but realistic would be awesome.

Yeah, an anime where the younger sister DOESN'T want to sex her older brother.

*please note that this is mostly a joke and I'm fully aware not every little sister in anime wants to sex their brother. You have to admit this happens pretty damn often though.

The amount of topics anime has not covered is higher than the things it did cover, with just a little glance at some of my favorite live action works from the last couple of decades there are so many movies that do things anime has never done.

- the descend into madness packed into a psychological horror with dark comedy (i.e Lighthouse)
- lonely middle aged man being accused of something he did not commit (The Hunt)
- there are 0 political satires in anime
- no satires of anything relating to japans past really

The list could go on and on. Saying "making something truly original that hasnt been done in anime is impossible" (wich ive seen many people do, on MAL alone) seems like a cheap excuse for people to counter argument people that criticize something for being unoriginal.

The anime medium basically has yet to touch the histories of most countries other than Japan. Not to mention the political controversies, historical and current, in those countries.

Also, there are a ton of themes involving people in middle age that the anime medium has done very little with.

An anime where a kindly old man figures out how to clone dinosaurs, creates a theme park and then invites people tour it before everything goes to shit.

Black Jack is an anime about a doctor. And Mushishi is doctor-adjacent.

I want to see anime do a straight, historic Western. And also a realistic, modern war story (anything from WW2 up. Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan etc would be epic).

Not that there a zero animes in those genres; Gun Frontier was a straight, historic Western... and had real potential; great premise. But terrible production, dialogue, art, animation and everything else. And Grave of the Fireflies and Barefoot were good WW2 stories... but about kids, not soldiers; not really proper "war stories" genre, IMO.

The Cockpit is closest to a proper "war movie" anime (Leiji Matsumoto again, like Gun Frontier), but again, decent anime, with weak production. (actually, i guess Black Lagoon is close; no war, but close. and Pumpkin Scissors is kinda 'alt-history', with some sci-fi in the mix, but close, too)

Also, Im kinda surprised i dont see anime (even in the radical, gnarly 80s/ 90s) about 'extreme sports' like skateboarding, surfing, parkour, etc- Considering how anime tries to exploit teen trends/interests, that stuff seems like an obvious theme.
