Re: What cool idea was wasted on a bad/unworthy story?

Calling anime a "genre" suggest that you've only been watching one genre of anime and you think all anime is that genre with those few exceptions... which actually, aren't exceptions to the "anime genre," but are the few anime you've seen that aren't in the genre you keep coming back to watching.

As for your "genre," avoid shonen fantasy anime based on light novels.

I think it's genuinely tricky to figure out what word to use here, and I acknowledge that "genre" isn't a perfect fit, but I think it's the best option available. Certainly, it's more accurate than calling it a medium, because what's distinctive about anime compared to other examples of animation is the specific cultural context that it comes out of and the varied collection of styles, topics, modes, approaches, etc that it has in common. And I think that anime has also been distinctively influenced - certainly in the last 20 years - by a fairly specific, coherent otaku fanbase.
