See, that's exactly the point I tried to make: Mushishi: no high school aged characters (well there are childs in some episodes, but the main character is an adult men), no mascots, no too colorful hair
Serial experiments Lain has an high-school-aged heroine, but besides that your analysis is off https://www.google.de/search?q=serial+experiments+lain&btnG=Suche&hl=de&gbv=1&tbm=isch
Parasyte Maxim has an high-school-aged hero, but involved in all the action are people of different ages. No mascots, no colorful hair and melodrama if you think the mincemeat-murders are melodramatic - well that's your point of view. https://www.google.de/search?q=parasyte+maxim&btnG=Suche&hl=de&gbv=1&tbm=isch
Nuichijou has no high-school-aged heroes - they are younger. Cutesy mascots is true for that one. Also colorful hair. Yeah, we found the sort of Anime you watched so far. Anime targeted at children. https://www.google.de/search?q=nichijou&btnG=Suche&hl=de&gbv=1&tbm=isch
Akatsuki no Yona matches also most of your cliches. So two out of five. Still in my opinion very different to Nichijou. https://www.google.de/search?q=Akatsuki+no+Yona&btnG=Suche&hl=de&gbv=1&tbm=isch
Also a word to the technicolor hair. I met some japanese students here in germany. They tend to color their hair and in some cases in unnatural colors like blue or green. I guess it's somewhat boring if everyone has black hair (as japanese have no blondes, brown-haired or red-haired people naturally, all habve black hair - or white in old age). |
I'm not really a big anime fan but man, Mushishi was beautiful, fantastic anime, still need to see the new season though.
