Use this thread to help us add/remove genres and themes from approved anime entries.

Remember our goal is for members to be able to vote on themes to add them to more entries, so please don't send a list of 800 titles in one post :')


Instructions

1. Read the definitions for MAL's genres and themes. These definitions may be different than on other websites.
2. Check the "Restrictions" tab on the definitions link for genres/themes which must not be tagged together.

3. Please use the following format when posting:
[b]Link to entry:[/b] 
[b]Add:[/b] 
[b]Remove:[/b] 
[b]Detailed Reasoning:[/b] 

Example:
Link to entry: https://myanimelist.net/manga/111343/
Add: Romantic Subtext
Remove: Romance
Reasoning: The series is primarily a comedy, with the narrative focused on making comedic jokes and little introspection from the main characters. By the last chapter, the main cast have confessed and are in a relationship, but you can barely tell as they behave quite similar to how they did at the beginning of the story.


3. Genres and themes should apply to at least 70-80% of the series. A few jokes to relieve tension is not comedy. A few emotional scenes is not drama.

5. Do your best to avoid posting titles which have already been posted.
6. Avoid unnecessary discussion.
7. Please note that genres/themes will be updated periodically in batches so your request may not be immediately applied.

Link to entry: https://myanimelist.net/anime/51076/Humanity
Remove: Workplace
Detailed Reasoning: This had to have been another mistake; I don't think there's a single scene that takes place in the workplace.

Add: Survival
Remove: Video Game
Detailed Reasoning: It's looks like a video game, but it is not a video game. The clear answer is given in the 11th ep of the 1st season - it is isekai, the one of the variants for the future of the Earth.
It is Survival, because if the characters do not complete the quests they all will die. And if they all die at the same time in the isekai, they will die in the our world.

Detailed Reasoning: It's a main plot. A boy Aoi is sent to another world and he turns into a blue frog when he gets wet. So he's looking for a way to break the spell and get home. Also there are many parodies on fairytales and fantasy stamps in the show.

Detailed Reasoning: This has been bothering be since even before the genre overhaul. Koga Maryuin is not a supernatural movie. Aside from an in-universe imagination-sequence in the very first scene, the film is a fairly realistic movie about a boy helping a girl who is being bullied for having chuunibyou

Link to entry: https://myanimelist.net/anime/31376/Flying_Witch
Add: Iyashikei
Remove: Comedy
Detailed Reasoning: With Comedy and Slice of Life no longer being allowed in the same entry, I believe that, with Flying Witch's focuses on its slower moments and its soothing vibes, that Comedy should be removed as a genre and Iyashikei should be added as a tag.

Detailed Reasoning: The other world is almost the same as the original one. The differences are in the synopsis.

Link to entry: https://myanimelist.net/anime/28805/Bakemono_no_Ko
Add:
Remove: Isekai
Detailed Reasoning: I get that "Isekai" litterally means "different world", but you can't attach that theme to every entry that features one or it will just become confusing. The transfer to the other world is supposed to be unintentional and hard to undo, but here it's intentional and relatively easy. This is closer to the trip featured in the Disney movie Peter Pan.

Link to entry: https://myanimelist.net/anime/38084/Fate_Grand_Order__Zettai_Majuu_Sensen_Babylonia
Add: Time travel
Remove: Isekai
Detailed Reasoning: From the synopsis: "A.D. 2016, the foundations of humanity have been incinerated by the Mage King Solomon. Chaldea, a secret mages organization with the mission to preserve humanity's future, foresaw mankind's extinction in 2015. Thus commenced the operation to repair the Singularities in history caused by Holy Grails dispersed across time and space—Operation Grand Order. Using the Rayshift time travel technology, Chaldea's last master Ritsuka Fujimaru and his demi-servant Mash Kyrielight have traveled to and resolved six Singularities. Now, they depart for their most dangerous destination yet: a civilization in the Age of Gods, B.C. 2655 Mesopotamia."

Remove: Slice of Life
Detailed Reasoning: With Drama/Romance being incompatable with Slice of Life, the latter should be removed since the series focuses more on its dramatic and romantic elements and has a strong storyline. Josei should be added as the manga is published in a josei magazine; school should be added since a good chunk of the series takes place at the schools of the main characters.

Detailed Reasoning: Since Romance and Slice of Life are no longer compatable and with Seijo having a connected narrative, Slice of Life should be removed. The cast of Seijo is primarily adults, so Adult Cast should be added.

Remove: Slice of Life, Supernatural
Detailed Reasoning: With Slice of Life and Romance being incomptable, Slice of Life should be removed from this series. While there are supernatural elements in the series, there is not enough emphasis on them to fit the 70 to 80% rule. Educational should be added since the series is intented to provide education of puberty and interpersonal relationships at a young age.

Remove: Mahou Shoujo

Detailed Reasoning: There's no MAL definition on the theme but I wouldn't go far as to call SnS a magical girl anime. Considering how there is nothing in the series that has related to the theme. If you argue that it does then it would also be logically to call something like Bleach a mahou shoujo anime, considering all the transforming girls (there's not a lot in SnS either, despite being an MC). It's a supernatural world, but not one that revolves around magic. Mythology is probably more fitting.

Many thanks.

Link to entry: https://myanimelist.net/anime/269/Bleach (Anime and Manga)
Add: Super Power, Supernatural
Remove: Fantasy
Detailed Reasoning: Bleach is only labeled as Adventure and Fantasy, which means most people will think it is a High Fantasy.
The Fantasy description says the following: "When searching for High Fantasy stories, excluding lower fantasy themes (e.g. Mythology, Superpower) can help refine your search."

I think it should get another Genre/Theme so you can do exactly that. Both Superpower (originally had this Theme) and Mythology (Shinigamis, Hollows) are fitting but Supernatural in general is fitting much better than Fantasy (which is probably also why it was tagged as such previously) so you could also just change it back or it also could be one of the rare Supernatural + Fantasy cases.


Link to entry: https://myanimelist.net/anime/22319/Tokyo_Ghoul (Anime and Manga)
Add: Supernatural
Remove: Fantasy
Detailed Reasoning: Tokyo Ghoul should also go back to Supernatural like it always was. I assume it was changed to Fantasy because of this part:
"If majority of the cast has magical or supernatural powers, then the story is Fantasy. If only a few characters have powers and most of the cast would be in disbelief to discover this, then the story is Supernatural."

Not only didn't people know of Ghouls at the beginning of the show, it also has no Fantasy elements aside from some characters being Ghouls. JoJo no Kimyou na Bouken (TV) for example has much more Fantasy elements aside from Vampires (Hamon, Pillar Men) but is listed as the more fitting Supernatural. So why isn't Tokyo Ghoul? D:

In general a High Fantasy Theme might also not be that bad.

Link to entry: https://myanimelist.net/anime/1239/Bishoujo_Senshi_Sailor_Moon_SuperS
Add: Fantasy (or supernatural), Comedy
Detailed Reasoning: All four are seasons of the same show. This is a show about a girl who meets a talking cat who gives her the power to become a sailor-suited superheroine who fights energy-stealing monsters from another dimension (in the first and part of R), humanoid robots who serve a group from the 30th century known as the "Black Moon Clan" (the rest of R), monsters who steal people's "Pure Heart Crystals" in search of a talisman (S) and circus-themed monsters who try to stop people from extracting others' "Dream Mirrors" (SuperS), in addition to greater overarching threats in each season. It is very much fantastical. All four are also listed as "Mahou Shoujo" under themes, which are always tagged as "Fantasy or Supernatural" on the spreasheet. As well, it should also be tagged as comedy, as there is a lot of comedy to go around in each of these four seasons, and it is a core emphasis.

Detailed Reasoning: Yes, it's rare for fantasy and supernatural to be together. The anime set place in modern world before teleport into a fantasy like place in England with forelore, fairies and spirits. It's not entirely a fantasy anime. If you disagree with this, consider adding Mythology instead.
