Sci-Fi/Action Drama/Dark/Classic Titles

Sci-Fi: (Setting) Self-explanatory. Anime of this category should contain Science-Fiction elements.

Action Drama: (Genre) Much like "Action" (lots of shooting, explosions, and the like) except it has "Drama" thrown in as well.

Dark: (Style) Titles that are dismal or gloomy in nature qualify for this category.

Classic: (Style) Older anime titles, from the 80's back. As a rule of thumb, a title should at least be 10-years old.
