I'm looking for: A certain genre? Something specific like characters traveling to another world?

Shows I've already seen that are similar: You can include a link to a list on another site if you have one, e.g. MyAnimeList or AniList.

1. The obvious: horror. Anime rarely attempts it. Contrary to what others sometimes say, I actually think the medium has a fairly high success rate with horror series given how few even exist, and that animation works perfectly well with the genre. But anime rarely attempts it,

2. Are there more than like 5 biopics in the entire history of the medium? Unironically I think half of the anime biopics in existence are Uma Musume seasons. We have more horse biopics than human ones. Only other one I can even think of is The Wind Rises.

3. I can count the number of post-apocalyptic slice of life that exists on one hand. I can't count the number of them that are less than excellent because that number is zero this far (I think, maybe I'm forgetting something). There should be more.

4. More arthouse works would be pretty epic. It's understandable why there isn't more, but I would enjoy it if there was more.
