[spoiler]Link to entry: https://myanimelist.net/anime/21033/Seikoku_no_Dragonar
Add: Action, Romance, Harem
Remove: N/A
Detailed Reasoning: The presence of riding dragons and showcasing their combat during battles is a central aspect and occurs throughout the series leading to exciting action-packed scenes which play a significant part of the thematic elements within the story. Seikoku no Dragonar features a male protagonist, Ash, who interact as with and informs intimate relationships with many female characters who vye for his attention making both the romance and harem tags appropriate for it along with the action tag. Additionally, Ash has a relationship with characters like Eco, Silvia, and Rebeca etc leading to romantic undertones and showing their interest in each other to the point where they even sometimes kiss. The current genres and themes like comedy, fantasy, ecchi, and school are already listed on MyAnimeList but it is considered to be a action romantic-harem anime as well according to Anime News Network making the following tags consistent for it’s entry.

Link to entry:https://myanimelist.net/anime/20973/Sekai_Seifuku__Bouryaku_no_Zvezda
Add: Sci-Fi, School, Super Power
Remove: N/A
Detailed Reasoning: Sekai Seifuku: Bouryaku no Zvezda (World Conquest Zvezda Plot) incorporates sci-fi elements involving robots, advanced technology, and an organization known as “Zvezda” which plays a significant role in the plot, and can thus be relevant for the addition of the sci-fi tag. The story follows the protagonist, Asuta, that attend a middle school environment which occur throughout the series, and serve as a background that is used as a central aspect to showcase the interactions and comedic moments between the characters making it appropriate to add the school tag. Finally, the Super Power tag is especially fitting for Sekai Seifuku: Bouryaku no Zvezda (World Conquest Zvezda Plot) due to the presence of super hero undertones and who posses super-powered abilities they use during the comical action-packed sequences which play a significant role, and the fact that it is labeled as these following requested tags on other sites like Anime Planet makes it warranted to add these tags.


Link to entry: https://myanimelist.net/anime/40052/Great_Pretender
https://myanimelist.net/anime/41433/Akudama_Drive
Add: Suspense, Organized Crime
Remove: N/A
Detailed Reasoning: Great Pretender has a focus on suspense to keep viewers at the edge of their seat by constantly incorporating plot twists and turns throughout the series which aligns with the suspense genre. The organized crime theme is appropriate for Great Pretender because the presence of crime is a significant factor of the story as it features an organized crime setting regarding stuff like mafia, criminals, and navigations among these making it warranted to include the suspense and organized crime tags to it’s entry. As for Akudama Drive, it is a cyberpunkish anime set in a dystopian setting that revolves around a high-stakes premise involving a group of criminals known as Akudama who go on dangerous missions creating a intense storyline filled with tension and gripping moments throughout the show. Furthermore, Akudama Drive delves into an organized crime world, and the fact it’s worth mentioning that both Great Pretender and Akudama Drive are often recognized as criminal and thriller anime supporting these tags as a warranted addition for both shows. Hence, both Great Pretender and Akudama Drive deserve the addition of the suspense and organized crime tags.


Link to entry: https://myanimelist.net/anime/564/Puni_Puni%E2%98%86Poemii
Add: Fantasy, Ecchi, Gore, Parody
Remove: N/A
Detailed Reasoning: Puni Puni Poemii (Puni Puni Poemy) parodies fantasy elements like magical girls and characters using magic as weapons that play a significant role, and that it already has the Mahou Shoujo tag justifying the fantasy tag. The ecchi tag is appropriate for Puni Puni Poemii (Puni Puni Poemii) because it constantly features fanservice elements that lead to sexual innuendos, nudity, nosebleeds, skimpy outfits, abuse, squeezing boobs, jiggly breasts, and eroticism which are not incidental nor minimal in nature but rather add a erotic tone to the story. Additionally, the inclusion of comedic rape and torture scenes justify both the ecchi and gore tags leading to injuries, wounds, decapitation, and exaggerated character reactions. Puni Puni Poemii (Puni Puni Poemy) also shares similarities with other erotic-comedy gore anime like Bokusatsu Tenshi Dokuro-chan (Bludgeoning Angel Dokuro-chan) with a focus on both revolving around a cute but violent girl who uses a weapon to murder people for comedy and get into numerous aggressively sexual situations leading to nudity as well as exaggeration. Finally, Puni Puni Poemii (Puni Puni Poemy) is a parody anime due to it’s focus on exaggerated comedy leading to satire and parodying multiple stuff like anime tropes, genres, and series like Excel Saga, magical girls, aliens, and fantasy which aligns with the theme.

Link to entry: https://myanimelist.net/anime/457/Mushishi
Add: Medical
Remove:
Detailed Reasoning: If this fits your definition, than the other seasons need the tag as well.
The protagonist wanders around to help people with their Mushi-related problems. While not every episode fits into the Medical aspect, the vast majority of episodes consist of him curing the diseases of people, plants or animals. On top of that, the (probably) most important side character, Adashino, is a doctor and the mystery aspect of the show comes from him trying to find the cure for the diseases. Considering fantasy shows have the tag as well, a supernatural show like Mushishi should get the tag too.

Here are some characters with (supernatural) diseases that got cured as examples:

Link to entry: https://myanimelist.net/anime/38691/Dr_Stone
Add: Educational
Remove:
Detailed Reasoning: Other related entries would also need the tag, same as above.
I don't know if the show needs to be purely made to educate to get the tag, but Dr.Stone is probably the closest of all shows that weren't solely made to educate to still fit the tag. A lot of the science and building parts get explained by the cast (if not, the character Mecha Senkuu (https://dr-stone.fandom.com/wiki/List_of_Minor_Characters)) does it, sometimes even after the credits.
I've even found a doctor fact-checking the things, so there is definitely a lot the show teaches.

Add: Reincarnation
Detailed Reasoning: Most characters in the anime are reincarnations of people that existed during the time of a kingdom that was called Silver Millenium and had important roles back then. This is also the reason for the powers the main characters have in the present. The protagonist also was in love with a guy back then who was also reincarnated and with whom she has a romance again in the present.

Reasoning: Although romance is in the background, it is not non-existent.

Link to entry: https://myanimelist.net/anime/43299/Wonder_Egg_Priority
Add: Mystery, Suspense, School
Detailed Reasoning: Wonder Egg Priority can be appropriately classified as a mystery anime due to the presence of unraveling truths surrounding dreams and a fanatical world filled with psychological depth involving enigmatic challenges which aligns with the mystery genre. The addition of the suspense tag is also warranted for Wonder Egg Priority because it has a focus on creating psychological tension, impact, and twists throughout the series. Additionally, the presence of the psychological theme justifies the addition of the suspense tag and that Wonder Egg Priority shares similarities with Mahou Shoujo Madoka★Magica (Puella Madoka Magica) in terms of their suspense and psychological elements. When comparing both of them, they fall under the fantasy and psychological-thriller genre with a focus on a suspenseful storytelling and delving into emotional struggles of the characters along with both of them taking place in a magical world. Finally, the school environment particularly involving middle school students showcasing the character development within the story and that the presence of a school setting is central to the overall plot of Wonder Egg Priority making it appropriate to be classified as these following tags.

Other entries in the franchise should probably also be considered for the tag.

Link to entries: Nyaruko: Crawling With Love!
and Nyaruko: Crawling With Love! Second Season
Add: Romantic Subtext
Detailed Reasoning: The main female character is professing her feelings (of love and/or attraction) to the main male character in pretty much every episode of the show (and pretty often several times during a single episode at that).
Her, slightly overbearing at times, declarations of love generally lead to (slapstick) comedic situations/moments, because he is embarassed/too shy to admit/understand his own feelings and because she is (way) too intense in declaring hers.
Despite a couple of kisses and a few other situations which almost lead to a kiss/a relationship, they do not progress significantly towards becoming a couple until the 2nd ova after the 2nd season (which already has the 'romance' tag) hence why I suggest 'romantic subtext' for the two seasons of the show :)

Link to entry: Witchcraft Works
Add: Romantic Subtext, Comedy
Detailed Reasoning: Its main genre is comedy, and I'm very surprised to not see it here. Every episode has a ton of jokes, between the brocon little sister, the stupid band(s) of kemomimis, Kagari aloofness,... basically every witch in this show is a very quirky character and there are lot of absurd things in the world-building which are clearly there to make you laugh. Also, the anime is already tagged as 'Comedy' on Nautiljon and Imdb.
It is pretty clear from the start the two main characters have feelings for each other, and as time goes on what has started as maybe a crush clearly develop into strong feelings of love. However, the show is mainly comedy/action focused and their feelings for each other only play a role at some key moments.
This is very much a case of 'boy meets girl, they fall in love, but are not able/ready to confess their feelings for each other in the open yet': one of them act more or less indifferent, while the other act embarassed, whenever a situation which could lead to seomething appears, hence the request for the 'romantic subtext' tag.

Add: Gag humor.
Remove: Romance.
Reasoning: First of all, the manga is not tagged with the romance tag (not even in other sources like Wikipedia or Anime Network).

Now, Aho Girl at no point presents a convincing romantic interaction (not even subtextual) because her best friend basically hates her and tends to show very little affection for her.

Her character profiles in MAL technically indicate as much:

Yoshiko profile:


Akuru profile:


On the other hand, since it is a comedy, it resorts too much to gags and double meaning jokes based on Yoshiko's character, like the following example:

Add: Parody
Detailed Reasoning: It's a parody of the mecha genre. It already begins with the title, where the spaceship has a funny not really serious name which probably is supposed to parody Space Battleship Yamato. Then during the show while the protagonist is an ace mecha pilote and considered earts most valuable fighter, he actually prefers to retreat in the cockpit of his mecha the whole day, is obsessed with food and generally not a very serious person. The anime is mostly focused on slice of life comedic hijinks and not really on space battles. And even if things happen that would be playing for drama and a regular mecha show, here they are only playing for comedic situations and aren't treated serious. A notable example is when the protagonists long lost brother re-appears and turns out to be on the enemies side.

Detailed Reasoning: This anime is a parody of the magical girl genre.
In this series, a magical girl transformation does not transform someone into a
typical cute magical girl but instead into a muscular guy. Then the magical girls
don't use their scepter to cast magical spells to fight but instead use it to
bludgeon monsters to death with it. Also the magical mascot is a Yakuza looking guy and not a cute animal like being.
The animes protagonist is shown shocked about things things being the case and magical girls not being
how they are typically depicted.
Also the protagonist and her best friend are both idols.

Detailed Reasoning: The main character and his love interest are both monkeys, who can
talk and possess a human like intellect. Some other anthropomorphic animals appear too.
Therefor this should be tagged with Anthropomorphic.
The anime also features wizards and the main character acquires magical powers.
So Fantasy would be an appropriate tag too.
Then this movie features elements that appeal to children like
talking animals for example. It also has a simple, straight-forward
story of adventure and a lesson about being a decent person, which
is typical for works aimed at a younger audience. Additionally the rating of this movie is G - All Ages.
Thats why I think this movie should be tagged with Kids too.
Also the alternative version to this movie called Boku no Son Gokuu

Link to entry: Great Pretender & Pet
Add: Suspense, Organized Crime
Remove: N/A
Detailed Reasoning: The addition of the suspense and organized crime tags are undeniably warranted for both Great Pretender and Pet due to the inclusion of prominently featuring twists, turns, surprises, secrets, and red hearings etc throughout the series (sooo many characteristics that are featured too prominently) keeping viewers at the edge of their seat constantly which are typical characteristics of the suspense genre making it justified to include a suspense tag. Additionally, the organized crime tag would be relevant for both entries as they revolve around their own crime organization syndicates. The presence of organized crime is a central theme of Great Pretender as it relates to stuff related to mafia commonly found in organized crime anime while Pet centers around people part of a crime organization known as “Crushers” who posses abilities to read minds and commit crimes, and hence these tags should be added to their entries.

Link to entry: Kokkoku
Add: Sci-Fi, Suspense, Time Travel
Remove: N/A
Detailed Reasoning: Kokkoku is set in a futuristic world known as “Statis” where people posses an ability to frozen time which play a significant role in the story and overall style within the show. The suspense tag is warranted to Kokkoku because it prominently features time loops, twists, tension, and red hearings throughout the series making it applicable for the addition of the genre. Kokkoku involves the usage of an ability to either frozen time or travel through time loops by investigating mysteries and changing outcomes serving as a central aspect of the plot. In conclusion, the presence of the psychological theme justifies the suspense genre for Kokkoku as well as the fact that it shares similarities with Steins Gate in terms of some of these asepcts, and that it is categorized sufficiently on Anime News Network provides a relevant representation for the sci-fi, suspense, and time travel genres.

Link to entry: One Outs
Add: Suspense, High Stakes Game, Strategy Game
Remove: N/A
Detailed Reasoning: One Outs prominently incorporates elements of suspense throughout it’s narrative involving the psychological strategic mind games of baseball leading to psychological-tension and red herring consistently throughout the series. The high stakes game tag is warranted for One Outs since it revolves around people who participate in baseball matches in a high stakes game oriented manner where the players use their tactics, strategy, and psychological skills when playing the games. Additionally, the strategy game tag would be appropriate due to what I’ve said about involving game matches, and that One Outs is similar to other anime that are categorized by these classifications like Gyakkyou Burai Kaiji: Ultimate Survivor (Kaiji: Ultimate Survivor). When comparing them to each other, One Outs and Gyakkyou Burai Kaiji: Ultimate Survivor (Kaiji: Ultimate Survivor) have a focus on psychological-tactics involving their own games where people showcase their strategic thinking over another player during high-stakes gambling competitions. In One Outs, the gambling games involve baseball matches while Gyakkyou Burai Kaiji: Ultimate Survivor (Kaiji: Ultimate Survivor) revolves around characters that play traditional gambling competitions. Although, the overall kinds of game they play may differ, the way they both prioritize these aspects share a similar experience leading to suspenseful matches and as well still categorize them as very similar anime to each other. In conclusion, the classification of the psychological theme for One Outs also justifies the addition of the suspense tag, and since it has a focus on strategic tactics during baseball matches in a game oriented manner classifies it within these themes.

Link to entry: Perfect Blue
Add: Award Winning, Mystery, Suspense
Remove: N/A
Detailed Reasoning: Perfect Blue undeniably warrants the addition for the award winning, mystery, and suspense genres to it. Firstly, the presence of the background description makes it applicable to include an award winning genre to it.
Background
Perfect Blue is the directorial debut of animator Satoshi Kon and is an adaptation of the 1991 novel Perfect Blue: Kanzen Hentai (released in English by Seven Seas Entertainment as Perfect Blue: Complete Metamorphosis) written by Yoshikazu Takeuchi. The film made its world premiere at the 1997 edition of the Fant-Asia film festival in Montreal, where it received awards for Best Asian Film and Best Animation Film. It went on to earn additional awards and critical praise at film festivals worldwide before opening in Japanese theaters in 1998.


Secondly, the mystery genre plays a crucial part of the movie because it is known for it’s murder mystery elements as well as being a psychological-thriller and horror anime that incorporates these elements particularly in the form of unraveling truths and investigations making it align-able to add the mystery genre to it. Finally, the addition of the suspense genre is especially justified for Perfect Blue due to it being labeled under the psychological theme and constantly featuring tension and red hearings throughout the movie plus as mentioned earlier it is considered a epitome of a psychological-thriller anime. Additionally, Perfect Blue is similar to other murder-mystery and psychological-thriller anime like Mousou Dairinin (Paranoia Agent) as they both share a focus on unraveling truths, investigations, and a psychological depth creating an atmosphere filled with tension. Not to mention, they were created by the same person, and another thing that I should emphasize is that although Perfect Blue is currently considered a horror anime on MyAnimeList despite the mystery and suspense genres to be subtle additional genres to include since it’s not very common for horror anime to incorporate elements of each genre significantly. However, Perfect Blue already requires the definition of each genre with a focus on evoking fear, investigation, and creating tension. In conclusion, omitting the addition for award winning, mystery, and suspense genres would as well be misleading about the overall importance within the story and is thus rather deserving for these categorizations.

Kokkoku involves the usage of an ability to either frozen time or travel through time loops by investigating mysteries and changing outcomes serving as a central aspect of the plot. In conclusion, the presence of the psychological theme justifies the suspense genre for Kokkoku as well as the fact that it shares similarities with Steins Gate in terms of some of these asepcts, and that it is categorized sufficiently on Anime News Network provides a relevant representation for the sci-fi, suspense, and time travel genres.

As for why Supernatural and Anthropomorphic should be added, The plot is about a chair that somehow comes to life (no explanation given) and gets anthropomorphic qualities like being aware and able to move by itself, even faster than some animals; the chair is also able to develop a bond with Paulette. The world is otherwise a normal-looking earth so Fantasy wouldn't apply for this short.

Additionally, Darker than Black Kuro no Keiyakusha (Darker than Black) shares similarities with other anime like Phantom: Requiem for Phantom which is a series that caries the drama and suspense genre classifications. When comparing them to each other, Darker than Black Kuro no Keiyakusha (Darker than Black) and Phantom: Requiem for Phantom both revolve around an organization such as Syndicate from Darker than Black Kuro no Keiyakusha (Darker than Black) and the criminal organization known as Inferno from Phantom: Requiem for Phantom that controls one’s action behind the events as well as exploring themes that include mortality, identity, and the nature of power. The protagonist personal struggles and conflicts throughout in both series, and both offer compelling storylines full of suspenseful-action and complex mysteries delving into truths behind identities and featuring high-stakes action sequences filed with tension throughout the story causing impact to the plot.

@SurgingSoulZX A little correction here, as for Phantom, I think that the fact there is a child in the main cast, plus the fact that in the latter episodes some high school characters became prominent and relevant to the plot, wouldn't make it qualify for Adult Cast. Also, this is a spoiler but


Also, for Gantz, all three main characters are under 18 so I am sure it cannot qualify.

I think adding Adult Cast with underage characters are okay if they are like, only a small percentage is in the whole cast, they are not really relevant to the plot and none of them is a main character. I got it accepted with Excel Saga and Odd Taxi which have only one character that is under 18 but everyone else was an adult, especially the entirety of the main cast.

Add: Harem
Detailed Reasoning: The franchise as a whole falls under the "harem" category, as over the course of the show, many of the female characters fall in love with the main male character, with significant parts of the story focusing on this. The girls who fall in love with Kyousuke are: Kirino, Kuroneko, Ayase, Manami, and Kanako.

Link to entry: Urotsukidoji Franchise
Add: Gore
Remove: N/A
Detailed Reasoning: Including the gore theme to the Urotsukidoji franchise would strictly be considered justified due to the presence of exceeding a number of characteristics that require the tag including scenes involving dismemberment, mutilation, torture, rape, injuries, brutality, murder, mistreatment, abuse, and even sexual assault that may in general essentially become as shocking to viewers. Furthermore, as a hentai series, the content found in the franchise infact surpasses what is found in other gory entries including other anime that utilize rape scenes hence the latter doesn’t include genitals whereas this franchise does, and Urotsukidoji even features moments where a character assaults someone’s genitals 🩸often being seen as a very serious crime or action 🫢. In summary, a manga entry within the franchise includes a gore theme, and that omitting the addition for this tag would be misleading ergo warrants the gore tag.

Link to entry: Variable Geo
Add: Action
Remove: Shounen
Detailed Reasoning: Variable Geo is a ecchi themed supernatural action-packed martial arts anime that constantly features action sequences throughout the series featuring a variety of scenes involving supernatural abilities and martial arts skills or techniques. Additionally, the presence of a martial arts theme also justifies an addition for including this genre. Regarding the removal for the shounen tag, Variable Geo was generally based on a neo game supporting that the shounen demographic should not be listed.


Link to entry: IS (Infinite Stratos)
Add: Romance, Mecha, School
Remove: N/A
Detailed Reasoning: Romance plays a significant role in the series featuring a focus on relationships and even friendships between characters constantly leading to harem situations and comedy throughout the series. The mecha aspect is a central theme of IS (Infinite Stratos) particularly being part of the futuristic elements of the series, and it often features during the battles where characters not only wearing advanced gear suits, but also robots or other typical characteristics of mecha anime occur as a integral component. Including a school theme is relevant for IS (Infinite Stratos) because it tends to align with the theme, and that the story follows the protagonist, Ichika, who is enrolled to attend an all-girls school known as IS academy, as the only male student, he is the only male person who is required to use these pilots. Additionally, the tropes fit the school genre well and that the school life moments within this series are often integral to the comedic moments. In conclusion, each of these aspects serve as the core focuses of IS (Infinite Stratos) making it accurately reflect or add a layer to the central part of the plot.


Link to entry: https://myanimelist.net/anime/4149/Body_Jack__Tanoshii_Yutai_Ridatsu
Add: Erotica, Magical Sex Shift
Remove: Ecchi
Detailed Reasoning: Body Jack Tanoshii Yutai Ridatsu is centered around body swapping and transformations that lead to sexual encounters and erotic activities persuasively throughout the series serving as a central theme that tends to delve into explicit content even though genitals are not shown, it still delves into a much greater emphasis on actual explicit-ness of exploration than a dedicated ecchi anime does. Additionally, as mentioned earlier, Body Jack Tanoshii Yutai Ridatsu revolves around a specific device that creates sexual advance to transform into females making the addition of the magical sex shift theme accurately represents a main theme of the anime. In summary, the presence of these aspects being part of the overall representation, and that Body Jack Tanoshii Yutai Ridatsu is categorized as such on the majority of anime platforms further implies the justification for this addition and supporting that it is generally considered a body swapping disservice comedy rather than a ecchi one.

Link to entry: Oemojisangjuui
Add: School, Delinquent
Remove: N/A
Detailed Reasoning:
School: The primary setting for the show is a vocational high school. We also see some common tropes that appear when taking place in a high school, such as preparing for a school culture festival that takes place in the latter half of the show.

Delinquents: As stated by the description of the show, delinquents bully and/or fight the main protagonist and other characters that are similar to protagonist's original form, such as Duk-Hwa Pyeon. Some of these delinquent characters the summary refers to are Eun Tae Lee, Jin Sung Lee, and Lee Tae-Sung. Some of these characters are also leaders or are in leadership positions in their gangs.

Add: Adult Cast, Showbiz
Remove: N/A
Detailed Reasoning:

Adult Cast: All of the charactes in the show are 18+. The youngest character is the main protagonist, Junpei Koganei, who is 18 years old.

Showbiz: The anime follows characters who are interested in making movies and work for professional film studios. The first episode shows the cast making an AV film. In the second episode, the cast, after finishing the AV film, try to scrounge up funds and get donors for their next film. In the third and final episode, after gaining success with their latest film, are now responsible for finishing a blockbuster-esque film due to the director of this film getting hospitalized due to an accident that occurs in this same episode.


Link to entry: Umi ga Kikoeru
Add: Love Polygon
Remove: N/A
Detailed Reasoning: There is love triangle between the three main characters, Taku Morisaki, Rikako Muto, and Yutaka Matsuno. Matsuno has feelings for Muto, while Morisaki and Muto have mutual feelings for each other that slowly grow throughout the course of the movie/special. At some point in the movie/special, Matsuno confesses Muto, who rejects said confession. Morisaki, who held his romantic feelings back for Muto due to Matsuno's feelings, confronts Muto and starts a fight with her that culminates in the three characters not speaking to each other for the rest of their final year in high school. Later, when Matsuno and Morisaki meet as adults and reminisce about their high school years before heading to their class reunion, Matsuno states that the reason that he got angry and punched Morisaki, which at the time of the event was due to Morisaki's inaction at standing up to Muto's bullies and making her cry after her and Morisaki's conversation during the school festival, was also because he disagreed with Morisaki's decision to not pursue a romantic relationship with Muto.

Add: Slice of Life

Detailed Reasoning: First of all, it is to keep consistency whithin the 1990-92 iterations which are tagged as Adventure + Fantasy + Slice of Life. The movie itself has the same tone than the series as well (not much comedy, high focus on Slice of Life and Adventure).

Link to entry: Dokyuu Hentai HxEros (SUPER HXEROS)
Add: Romance, Harem
Detailed Reasoning: Dokyuu Hentai HxEros (SUPER HXEROS) features a male protagonist, Retto Enjou, a high school student surrounded by a group of female characters who posses special abilities, that he forms relationships serving as a central aspect of the story. Throughout the series, there are moments where female characters vye for the protagonist attention and often get jealous as well as kiss him at times which implies to both the romance and harem categories. In summary, these aspects are already part of the overall style or appeal for this series, and the protagonist essentially getting into harem situations makes it appropriate to include these tags.


Link to entry: Jin-Rou (Jin-Roh: The Wolf Brigade)
Add: Suspense, Psychological
Detailed Reasoning: Including the psychological-thriller category for Jin-Rou (Jin-Roh: The Wolf Brigade) is generally justified as it delves into themes typical of psychological theme such as guilt, trauma, loyalty, betrayal, and moral dilemmas of the characters showcasing their complex struggles creating a suspense-fully gripping and thought provoking experience within this anime as well as the presence of intrigue throughout the story. Furthermore, Jin-Rou (Jin-Roh: The Wolf Brigade) is alike to Koukaku Kidoutai (Ghost in the Shell) especially in their psychological and suspense aspects. When comparing them to each other, both anime incorporate sci-fi elements involving futuristic societies and they delve into thought provoking themes that include identity and even complexities of human psyche making them comparable to each other overall. In conclusion, it is warranted to add the psychological-thriller tags to Jin-Rou (Jin-Roh: The Wolf Brigade) considering the engaging narrative that it offers and the overall style aligning with these anime genres or themes.

It's also obviously a team sport, as each side fields dozens of participants all working together.
As a consequence, remove Action from the entries that have it, since it's mutually exclusive with Sports.
(I only included the entries that definitely have tank competition in them, as opposed to some of the more slice-of-life-y specials/extras.)

Link to entry: Bakuretsu Tenshi (Burst Angel)
Add: Action
Remove: Adventure, Comedy
Detailed Reasoning: Bakuretsu Tenshi (Burst Angel) essentially falls under the action genre due to it’s focus on intense sequences involving gunfights and mecha-action scenes throughout the series as the central focus and contributes to it’s overall action packed content. On the other hand, the adventure tag isn’t very necessary for Bakuretsu Tenshi (Burst Angel) because it doesn’t center around these aspects often or solely focus on them. It doesn’t align with the adventure genre as it doesn’t have a strong focus on exploration or constantly going through various locations throughout the story, and while it does revolve around characters who go on journeys for a sense of embarkment or friendship, it doesn’t necessarily classify it as a adventure anime since it doesn’t feature characteristics typical of genres like exploration nor traveling as mentioned earlier making it distinct from the category. Additionally, the comedy tag is inappropriate for Bakuretsu Tenshi (Burst Angel) because it does not add a humorous tone or lead to comedic situations too prominently, it only features comedic elements occasionally if present at all and the focus is not on light-hearted content either making the comedy tag inapplicable for it. Furthermore, not categorizing Bakuretsu Tenshi (Burst Angel) as a action anime but rather classifying it as a adventure centered comedy anime would be misleading because it misrepresents the overall core focus and the adventure and comedy aspects aren’t as pronounced as the action-packed nature. Therefore, it is more relevant to replace the adventure and comedy tags with the action genre.

Add: Avant Garde, Music
Detailed Reasoning: The first reason why this should have the Avant Garde Tag is how the story is told: it starts as an AMV, then it turns into a mockumentary, then as a "movie trailer", then as an interview, then back to a music video, and finally as a regular drama. All of that happens on the same story and in a span of just 26 minutes. This is unlike practically all other anime that exist.
Second is the part of unsettled feelings, the overall reception of this OVA is really mixed, some people consider it great but some other people despise it, this can be checked on the score statistics, having one of the most divisive and varied ratings of all anime in this page.

As for why music should be added, it is because the majority of the OVA is just music with no dialogue, the story is mostly told visually with no talking.


Thanks!
