| There's no good way that I know of, to look for shows that feature heavy firearm use, such as Black Lagoon or Jormungand. |
| No. |

| We once had. That's what the "tags" under every animu main page was for. Unfortunately, according to the staff, a lot of people misused it, so it was disabled and removed. Just Google it. |
Rothrock said: No. Why not? Iudex said: Action is more than enough to describe these two. If you want to find an anime with ‘heavy firearm use’ use the Anime & Manga Recommendations board. Cheers. Action is way too much of a general term to be useful for this. xbobx said: We once had. That's what the "tags" under every animu main page was for.

Kirie_Himuro said: Anime Planet as well.That's why I don't just use MAL when it comes to tag searches, AniDB has a lot more of a detailed tag search. |

I understand what you're trying to say, but you're using the wrong arguments. Bringing up tags (again) wouldn't require extra effort from the staff and "having too many different tags" wouldn't be a problem simply because they are user generated. The most repeated ones gets the highlight, while the less specifics stay on the shadows. This way it doesn't matter if there's gunfight, swordfight, dogfight, kittiesfight, dickfight, whatever. As only the most used ones will be visible. >And tags are usually used for these things, such as this. No. Tags nowadays are used for these things because they lost their primordial function. Back in the day, they used to do exactly what OP suggested: http://myanimelist.net/anime/134/Gunslinger_Girl http://myanimelist.net/anime/357/Bokusatsu_Tenshi_Dokuro-chan http://myanimelist.net/anime/252/Madlax http://myanimelist.net/anime/889/Black_Lagoon |
xbobx said: No, that was my bad. I misunderstood and thought he was speaking of Genre tags since I assumed the normal tagging system on mal works fine. I dunno how it looked before '14. Joined three yrs ago but I wasn't active until a yr ago.I understand what you're trying to say, but you're using the wrong arguments. xbobx said: Lol. And doesn't the current system filter the most popular ones? Which I assume is the most repeated ones.

What you see is the most popular tags as they were the moment tag system was stopped, few years ago, or 14.06.2010, to be more precise. You won't see it on any of the newer shows added to the DB after that date, you can check that Here're the threads when the tag system was implemented: http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=1450 http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=12621 And disabled: http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=231589 xbobx said: No. Tags nowadays are used for these things because they lost their primordial function. Someone (I think it was a mod) said in some thread that the very reason why tags were disabled was because users started misusing tags, i.e. the reason and consequence were vice versa, but I don't believe that. And even if so, it's entirely Xinil's fault as in all honesty, what's the sense in the comment field that can't be displayed as a column? |
