    I’ve found I usually don’t like the ones with the most fans, for whatever reason. Specifically I don’t tend to like ones in high school settings or ones where the author just really enjoys murdering characters in gruesome ways. That really limits my options.

      Let me guess… you watched Angel Beats or Danganronpa and didn’t like it?

      While there is a lot of school themed anime, there are plenty of scifi and fantasy themed anime as well. Options become less limited the farther back in time you go, because the 80s and 90s seem to have more scifi and fantasy than school themes, as they were more popular at that time. Unless you like slice of life, in shich case you have like, three shows tops and they’re all from the last 4 years.
