Grab something, anything, and make something out of it.

Or at least, that's how it should be. However, you look at modern animes, and pretty much every single one of a specific category will have many tropes also present in the other ones, many even having very similar character archetypes with the writers not bothering with some variety.

The exceptions are rare within these categories, and the ones that have an original, creative concept tend to fall these days right into the definition of absurd, if not weird, so much they practically have a category of their own.
