How to say unpredictable in Japanese


I'd like to say "I like anime because its unpredictable". I found out through
searching online that ありきたり translates to predictable, however I'm not sure if
this is correct.

My entire sentence:

> いっぱんにアニメとまんがのものがたりはたのしいですとおもいます。なぜなら、いつもありきたりでわありません。

My second question would be, does いっぱんに translate to generally in the way I've
used it above.




One common way that people phrase this is by saying "don't know what will
happen next". Using the most basic vocab, I will say something like

> アニメと[漫画]{まんが}は、次｛つぎ｝に何｛なに｝が起｛お｝こるか分｛わ｝かりませんから、楽｛たの｝しいと思｛おも｝います。

次 means next, and 起こる/起こります means to occur (not to be confused with 起｛お｝きます).

Edit: to clarify, both 起きる and 起こる are acceptable usages. In fact, [upon
further research](https://www.weblio.jp/content/%E8%B5%B7%E3%81%8D%E3%82%8B),
起きる is a more common way to say it.
