'''Art''' plays an important part in the story and has central meaning to the characters (e.g. valuable paintings, or sculptures). Alternately the protagonists show a degree of artistic skill, e.g. as painters, sculptors, dress-makers, potters, musicians, composers, designers, etc. The anime will then centre on the development of those skills, from the unrecognized dilettante stages, right up to the moment of (commercial) breakthrough. | '''Art''' plays an important part in the story and has central meaning to the characters (e.g. valuable paintings, or sculptures).

The anime concerns an organised armed force, and its members. Said body should have both the equipment and hierarchy found in military groups, and should ideally be actively utilising their power against an opponent. Characters are either employed as professional soldiers or enlisted on a volunteer basis, for ideological reasons. | The anime concerns an organised armed force, and its members.

Since a large part of the anime audience still takes part in school life or is visiting college, it is only natural to choose a setting the audience can identify with, be it elementary, middle, or high school. For the older viewers a college setting with more mature real-life problems is appropriate. And since clubs take up so much time in the lives of students, these are obviously also important. | Since a large part of the anime audience still takes part in school life or is visiting college, it is only natural to choose a setting the audience can identify with, be it elementary, middle, or high school.

'''Sports''' anime revolves around a ''recreational'' physical activity or skill. In addition they often adhere to certain genre conventions, the emphasis on ''training'' and ''practice'' in preparation for ''competition'', characters desire for ''self improvement'', and pursuit of a specific goal. | '''Sports''' anime revolves around a ''recreational'' physical activity or skill.

The underworld we talk about here is not to be confused with the place where people are believed to go after they die, but the general term for organized crime. It is a shady world, unknown to most people, where illegal things like murder, smuggling, drug dealing and similar are happening daily. Groups known to be acting in this world are for example the Mafia or the yakuza. | The underworld we talk about here is not to be confused with the place where people are believed to go after they die, but the general term for organized crime.
