C'mon. Surely the context in this case must be actual anime. Something like Psycho-Pass isn't really unique when you consider the whole of Western SF literature, but it is quite unique when you consider Japanese animation, at least at the moment. Or well, if not unique at least it's rare.

Any cyberpunk/dystopia show is more original and rare than any romance/school/harem VN adaptation. I can't say it's simply genre bias at this point in time.
