A sub-genre of science fiction dealing with future urban societies dominated by computer technology. Baburugamu Kuraishisu, Serial Experiments Lain and Koukaku Kidoutai are good examples.
Older anime titles, from the 80's back. What the actual amount of time that has to expire must be is unknown to me, but as a rule of thumb, a title should at least be 10-years old. Lupin III is an example of a classic title.
Titles that are dismal or gloomy in nature qualify for the dark category.
