| Maybe a new hybrid of hi tech sci fi & mechas situated in the far dark corners of space, but still within the human species dominated space? A spin off of Warhammer 40K, where you see the good, the bad and the ugly of such future timeline in space. ? ? ? I dunno, but I would love to see that. 1 Can dream & hope :P All we need, is just 1 good show to kick off a new era :D |

| Imo the best way to make a prediction is by looking to the most popular mangas nowadays. Since I don't read the newer most mainstream mangas I don't have an informed opinion but something I've been seing growing is Mahwa so perhaps this is the next thing(multiple series with OP characters) |

| "isekai" theme is more of an after thought to an Anime and less prevalent to any story. I think the new fad has already started a while back without users even realizing it. The new fad is just trashy Anime. Anime that is totally disposable and not to be taken remotely seriously. Pushed to the side by those who obsess over particular franchises simply for being either generic or junk food for the mind. Yet even those who hate trashy entertainment will likely be in denial and watch what ever this industry pumps out just to not feel like they are left out of the loop. I can totally see a decade from now "Trashy" or "Trash" could become a new tag. The industry is already giving us remakes or reboots of franchise that no one really asked for in the 1st place or never thought would be revived after such a long time period has passed. It's totally plausible that the industry will push the limit again and eventually and give us some trashy titles that push the envelope even more so than some franchise have in the past. We might even get a remake of "Agent AiKa" some day or something equivalent to having an anime made with literally an in your face gratuitous panty shot every 5 seconds while having a in-depth story or compelling premise. |

HeruruMeruru said: Definitely reboots or continuations of old nostalgic series. There's been a whole slew of them recently and they're showing no sign of slowing. Now, as much as I love old anime, this isn't necessarily a good thing, as many of said reboots have been disappointing Not any worse than what Disney's been doing to their older series. I'd take a less than great anime continuation or reboot over those any day. |

Mayu_jamir said: I don't care what is. As long as it means we can say Dada goodbye to isekai, because at this point in time it looks like isekai is going to dominate forever. I swear, when Jesus finally decided to come down it'll not be for judgment and salvation but to stop more isekai anim You're going to be bellyaching over the next big thing though with that attitude. |
| I wish Cowboy Bebop never existed. |
| Ero guro, but milder. You combine extreme violence and erotic elements to create catharsis, which both respectively sell well in recent titles, so there's that sliver of possibility I'm willing to stake on. |
 |
| Any show with a cute and quirky but vulnerable child seems to bring out the fatherly serial killer instincts from anime nerds, so I think you're going to find a lot of those soon. |

| I dont think isekai is going to get replaced, magic high battle tournament harem shows just evolved into isekai. Maybe isekai will evolve, but at its core its far too versatile to get replaced.

Mayu_jamir said: I'd rather the bellyache than another isekai dominated season. But I do become toxic when it comes to isekai and its perpetual dominance in every anime season. So I apologize for the outburst, but I really needed to vent. Have a gud day wherever you are ,my good sir/ ma'am. I can see it now... something like "Yaoi" becoming the next big fad in Anime and then suddenly the entire western fandom world will explode with outrage... or even make it more extreme being the combination of "Ecchi" and "Yaoi" all with Isekai themes. lol It doesn't matter what this industry does. This is what I see when it comes to western fandom, if someone isn't complaining about one thing they find something else to complain about. Anime still is yet to be created to satisfy anyone other than their own domestic fans even if other countries are starting to consuming more. |
