What are some rarely done genres do you wish had more anime?
>>
I'd like to see more harem shows set in Japanese high schools, maybe with supernatural elements or an ambiguously futuristic setting
>>
>>158733029

Horror, but only because they usually wind up being unintentionally hilarious and enjoyable to watch with /a/.
>>
Some Dark Fantasy stuff.
>>
>>158733029
Detective noir
>>
>>158733029
Good anime genre.
>>

>I'd like to see more harem shows set in Japanese high schools, maybe with supernatural elements or an ambiguously futuristic setting

This.

Mystery. I dont mean shitty japanese ones but something based on western works
>>
Something to do with trains. And not just cabooses, if you know what I mean.
>>
>>158733029
High fantasy. None of that Isekai or videogame crap, bona fide high fantasy with a little more thought put behind the world than the FF/DQ inspired shit that pervades the mind of LN authors.
>>
>>158733029
Whatever Black Lagoon and KLK genre is.
Make it full of cute girls but retain the madness cause I want more of that.
>>
>>158734168
> but something based on western works

So you want something completely garbage and easily figure out within the first episode

An anime based on Rome or Greece would work well. Honestly I'd like to see a Greek myth inspired anime even if that's more fantasy than historical fiction.

Are you fucking serious? It has absolutely nothing to do with history, more like full of super powered bishies who share names with mythological figures.
Oh, and shit taste, pedro.

Faggot that counts because it's anime and that's what this board is about.

Romance, I don't mean, "getting the girl/guy and it is done" type of stupid story that pervades "romance" but I want an anime that focuses on being in a relationship, maintaining the relationship, weathering storms and fights, and ultimately getting married while getting the blessing of the family on both sides.
>>
>>158734214
I agree, Japan has such an amazing train culture and love of trains that they could do tons of stuff.
>Historical business adventure about a private train company trying to challenge the JR Monopoly
>Slice of life adventure about a track repairman, a lady selling bento boxes in train stations, or a comfy story of a policewoman assigned in a busy subway
>Game of thrones style dramatic corporate drama about private railways trying to undermine each other and win over customers.

Survival/Mind game. Seriously, I really like it with the intense and strategic game, but I wonder why some series like Liar game, Tomodachi game, Kami sama no iutoori only have live action, Alice in borderland only get some shitty OVA too. Is their pacing, art style unsuitable for anime format?
>>
>>158736121
I'm wary. Most western book adaptations are Ghibli films.
