It could be done in the Anime DB, genres like Dementia, Cars or Josei have less than 40 animes. (By the way, how can an anime be Josei? And what exactly is Dementia?) It would be easier to search and the database would be lighter.

Josei is just an age range like shoujo or shounen

I know, but a Shojo, Shonen or Seinen anime is definite in most cases, i think josei isn't. For example, why should something like Eden of the East be a Josei?

I understood what dementia means, but i still think Cars should be removed, it's almost unused.

Almost any anime from the Noitamina animation block could be consider Josei and many are based on Josei manga. Yes, it is a group under represented in anime but that doesn't mean we should remove the genre from the database. It also reflects the manga database in terms of genres.

I dont really understand how this is a problem to you "It would be easier to search" lol? With more genres its much easyer to find anime because you can specifie your search a lot more.

More specific genres are nice to have if you ask me. Of course they would have fewer matches because they aren't as general as genres like action, drama, or horror. As for Josei...well it is pretty general in that it is one of the 18+ demographics, but it is kinda rare. Still necessary though.
