Detailed Reasoning: This short anime has a heavy focus on Asian noodle dishes and the making, serving, and eating thereof. Much of it is on udon, but soba and ramen come into play as well. The gourmet theme is pervasive enough in its appearances, cultural importance, and relevance to the girls' hero club activities in most episodes that it should meet the content threshold.

Add: High Stakes Game
Detailed Reasoning: I was randomly browsing when I came across the Kaiji manga page. I noticed that in the themes, it stated "High stakes game". Kaiji anime pages also list it as such. Then I started thinking about other series with high stakes games in it. One series that I automatically know is the Yu-Gi-Oh! manga. Coincidentally, they both came out in the same year in 1996. I noticed that "high stakes game" wasn't listed in themes, but "strategy game" was just like with Kaiji series. Now, why the disconnect between these 2 series? To add, here's the page with all the High stakes game manga and anime. There's a pretty common theme. Debt, life and death, etc. The usual predictable reason is that the person who listed the themes on the Yu-Gi-Oh! manga page and its anime adaptations in 1998 and 2000 must have started with the Yugioh card game or the 2000 Duel Monsters anime to not think the original Yu-Gi-Oh! series is not a high stakes game. The plot of Yu-Gi-Oh! is that Yami Yugi, known as Yuugi Ou (Game King), faces villains in a Game of Darkness or death game using various games. These situations include debt, life and death, soul taken/freed, etc. This is all in the 1st 59 chapters of the manga, which tells you what the story is about. The 1st chapter deals with debt and the MC will be tortured or killed with a knife. The 4th chapter is a
. The 6th chapter involves a
This chapter was not adapted. The chapter 17 arc is
. The chapter 27 arc is when a character
Chapter 45 is a
The 46th chapter is a
. Not adapted. The 1998 anime keeps most of this. The point is the original Yu-Gi-Oh! series is a high stakes game. Yami Yugi literally starts these death games aka high stakes games himself. If it weren't for Yami Yugi, the story would have ended in chapter 1. Even when the story shifts to long card game tournament arcs starting from chapter 60, souls are taken/freed, dark/death games still happen, and
happens to the end. The 2000 Duel Monsters anime starts from chapter 60, but since it aired at 7:30 PM/6:30 PM, some manga deaths of characters were changed to keeping them alive. Still, the games are still high stakes.

What needs to happen: Yugioh manga, Yugioh 1998 anime, Yugioh Transcend Game (sequel manga created by the mangaka) manga, Yugioh The Dark Side of Dimensions (manga canon sequel movie created by the mangaka) movie, and Yugioh 2000 (Duel Monsters) anime need to have high stakes game included as a theme.

Note: I added spoiler tag since people coming to this thread wouldn't expect to be spoiled. The spoilers aren't bad, just a tiny description of the chapter/arc.
If you see that my post is exactly 1 month old (or more) from when it was posted... Don't waste your time, especially when you want to reply with something petty & insignificant. Assume that I've moved on (because I have).

Add Genre: Sports, Sci-Fi
Maintain Theme: Racing
Remove: N/A
Detailed Reasoning:
- The series clearly belongs to the Sports genre and accurately represents the Racing theme, but it lacks its specific genre classification. It fits the sports guideline definition as a competition centered around racing cars, where the protagonist's primary goal is to win amidst struggles and support from competitors and her team.
- Sci-Fi elements in the series involve advanced car technology and integrated AI within both racing and street cars, concepts not yet fully realized in our current society but indicative of the direction we are heading towards. While we have some technological advancements similar to those depicted in the series, they are not as advanced as portrayed.

Link to entry: Ookamikakushi (Okamikakushi: Masque of the Wolf)
Add: Suspense, Psychological, School
Remove: Action
Detailed Reasoning: Okamikakushi (Okamikakushi: Masque of the Wolf) can really be classified as a psychological-thriller anime due to it’s exploitation of psychological-manipulation, paranoia, struggles, and the blurred lines of reality and illusion. This creates an engaging story full of mystery and suspenseful-twists to keep viewers interested at the edge of their seat within this storytelling. The series features a school setting where the main protagonist, Hiroshi Kuzumi, attends an environment with classmates and that it plays a significant role in the character development. On the other hand, an action genre is not needed for Okamikakushi because it does not feature exciting-battles or any high-octane scenarios hence sets it apart from strictly action entries. Instead, it’s more focused on mystery and that action-scenes are usually used thorough suspenseful moments or showcasing psychological-tension of the characters. Furthermore, Okamikakushi shares similarities with Higurashi as they both intertwine mystery with supernatural-horror, drama, and psychological-exploration of their characters leading to suspenseful-turns and intensity, but they do not heavily emphasize on battles or high-octane fights though action is interspersed, they still may not align well with being strictly classified within that genre cause they focus more on other aspects. Therefore, Okamikakushi is more accurately categorized as a psychological-thriller with elements of supernatural, horror, mystery, and school-life rather than a full-fledged action anime.


Link to entry: Kenzen Robo Damidaler (Daimidaler: Prince vs. Penguin Empire)
Add: Sci-Fi, Parody
Remove:
Detailed Reasoning: Kenzen Robo Damidaler (Damidaler: Prince vs Penguin Empire) incorporates typical science-fiction elements such as futuristic-technology, advanced organizations, and robots known as “Damidaler” which play a predominant role in the plot hence contributes to it’s classification as a sci-fi anime. The series also parodies various other anime genres like mecha and ecchi in particular by satirizing common tropes or references found in those genres. Additionally, this show itself is a parody of giant-robots, and evidentially has a satirical approach to it’s humor as well does it frequently exaggerate making it appropriate to be categorized as a parody anime. Therefore, Damidaler can be accurately classified as a sci-fi parody anime with elements of mecha-battles and ecchi-humor to the point that it is clear example of an anime that focuses on these themes.

Detailed Reasoning: Koukaku Kidoutai’s (Ghost in the Shell) 2nd movie is really supposed to be labeled as suspense because the presence of a psychological theme listed justifies an inclusion for this genre, but not only that, the series still emphasizes intricate plot twists, turns, complexity, intrigue, and high-stakes moments particularly through action scenes that are meant to be intense. The seinen demographic is also required for this movie as the franchise itself is officially based on mangas that originated from this type of demographic making it another undeniable justification. Therefore, it is accurate to classify it as a seinen and thriller entry.

Losing players are black listed from playing in the national team which is the dream of all of the people that are competing. This certainly seems like the typical high stakes game formula to me complete with the stereotypical crazy guy running the entire thing, just with a soccer theme and not being able to play on the national team instead dying or what ever.

I noticed that "high stakes game" wasn't listed in themes, but "strategy game" was just like with Kaiji series. Now, why the disconnect between these 2 series? To add, here's the page with all the High stakes game manga and anime. There's a pretty common theme. Debt, life and death, etc. The usual predictable reason is that the person who listed the themes on the Yu-Gi-Oh! manga page and its anime adaptations in 1998 and 2000 must have started with the Yugioh card game or the 2000 Duel Monsters anime to not think the original Yu-Gi-Oh! series is not a high stakes game. The plot of Yu-Gi-Oh! is that Yami Yugi, known as Yuugi Ou (Game King), faces villains in a Game of Darkness or death game using various games. These situations include debt, life and death, soul taken/freed, etc. This is all in the 1st 59 chapters of the manga, which tells you what the story is about. The 1st chapter deals with debt and the MC will be tortured or killed with a knife. The 4th chapter is a
. The 6th chapter involves a
This chapter was not adapted. The chapter 17 arc is
. The chapter 27 arc is when a character
Chapter 45 is a
The 46th chapter is a
. Not adapted. The 1998 anime keeps most of this. The point is the original Yu-Gi-Oh! series is a high stakes game. Yami Yugi literally starts these death games aka high stakes games himself. If it weren't for Yami Yugi, the story would have ended in chapter 1. Even when the story shifts to long card game tournament arcs starting from chapter 60, souls are taken/freed, dark/death games still happen, and
happens to the end. The 2000 Duel Monsters anime starts from chapter 60, but since it aired at 7:30 PM/6:30 PM, some manga deaths of characters were changed to keeping them alive. Still, the games are still high stakes.

What needs to happen: Yugioh manga, Yugioh 1998 anime, Yugioh Transcend Game (sequel manga created by the mangaka) manga, Yugioh The Dark Side of Dimensions (manga canon sequel movie created by the mangaka) movie, and Yugioh 2000 (Duel Monsters) anime need to have high stakes game included as a theme.

Note: I added spoiler tag since people coming to this thread wouldn't expect to be spoiled. The spoilers aren't bad, just a tiny description of the chapter/arc.

Detailed Reasoning: Both entries of Lucky Star needs to have the theme added back cuz the anime its about cute girls and has a cute artstyle in which many animes tagged with this theme share this thing, but also Lucky Star was always calld a CGDCT anime but to also match the tags of the manga since it is still tagged as CGDCT.

Detailed Reasoning:Most if not all of the characters featured are adults, just look at the cast itself.(Rin and sakura are not teens in fate/zero, and barely get any screentime,) and majority of the focus is on the adult characters, so it's fair that both seasons should get the adult cast tag

Add: Showbiz
Detailed Reasoning: The title revolves around members of a high school's film club as they work on live action film shoots and later editing. The main plot is focused on the romantic entanglements between a film club member and his roommate, but if we're going to judge by the manga titles in the Tasogare Out Focus universe serving as the original source material, then this will involve a fair amount of work on filmmaking, such as short films being entered in a contest for a school festival or music videos that outside groups sought out the film club to shoot and edit for them. The filmmaking is also a common and recurring topic of discussion between characters.

These are evident as there is an organization of aliens from outer space known as “Ultimegil” and that when the characters transform into their fantastical twin-tailed mode, they use advanced “gear” power-ups which is a characteristics of the science-fiction genre. The series can also be considered a “power-fantasy” due to the characters having the ability to transforming theirselves into twin-tailed beings to battle monsters and use their powers such as spiritual strength and superhuman abilities wielded as a twin-tailed warrior. Additionally, these aspects are prominently integrated in its action-packed scenes and this show blends them with its focus on romantic-comedy and parodying gender-benders. Therefore, it is appropriate to categorize Twintail as a sci-fi and superpower anime.

Link to entry: Genei wo Kakeru (Day Break Illusion)
Add: Suspense, Mythology
Remove:
Detailed Reasoning: The suspense genre for Genei wo Kakeru (Day Break Illusion) is appropriate due to the fact of a psychological tag being listed, and that it does prioritize elements of that genre such as plot-twists, intrigue, tension, and even thrilling battles creating an engaging storytelling. The series incorporates significant elements of mythology such as fantastical creatures, demons, monsters, and goddesses making it relevant to be classified as a mythology anime due to its emphasis on these themes.

Link to entry: Subarashiki Kono Sekai The Animation (The World Ends with You The Animation)

Link to entry: Kamen no Maid Guy
Add: Crossdressing, Romantic Subtext, School
Detailed Reasoning: Kamen no Maid Guy’s main character, Kogarashi, himself consistently dresses as a maid inherently and also behaves like such which are common characteristics of crossdressing series with comedic elements. While it primarily focuses on humor rather explicitly close or intimate relationships found in full-blown romance series, it does have various moments within a comedic context that could align it with being classified as “romantic-subtext” including instances of sexual tension, blushing, flirtation, and expressing love in a humorous way typical of romantic-subtext anime. This series features a school environment that the female protagonist, Fujiwara Naeka, who attends known as Shuuhou Seiha Private High School which plays a significant role in her character development and interactions within the plot.

Add: Avant Garde, Drama, Organized Crime

Link to entry: Prism Ark
Add: Adventure, Romance, Harem, School
Remove: Drama
Detailed Reasoning: The main focus of Prism Ark is on the adventure aspect as characters go on journeys, quests, kingdoms, and travel through different areas or locations throughout the series. This is also integral to the magical battles and the emphasis on adventure elements make it fit the adventure genre. While Prism Ark does have some moments of drama particularly due to romantic scenes, it is not primarily focused on drama nor serious or dark themes and that the series has a lighthearted tone. Instead, it is more accurately categorized as a romance anime because the love interests and character relationships play a significant role in the story as well as add depth making the drama genre less appropriate due to it’s portrayal and primary themes. For example, the protagonist, Hyaweh, is romantically interest in the heroine, Priecia, and that he is surrounded by numerous other female characters which contribute to its classification as a harem anime as well. Additionally, there’s a school setting that is central to the plot of Prism Ark where students attend a magic school known as Knight's Academy where mages are knights that possess weapons and powers typical of school life anime’s as well as the incorporation of comedic character interactions in that academy make this series relevant for a school tag. Therefore, Prism Ark is appropriately classified as a adventure, romance, harem, and school anime but not a drama one.

Link to entry: Black Summoner (Kuro no Shoukanshi)
Add: Adventure
Remove:
Detailed Reasoning: Black Summoner also known as Kuro no Shoukanshi is an anime series that should have adventure tag added as it prominently focuses on typical elements of the genre. The series follows the story of Kelvin who’s a person that has been reincarnated while being summoned to another world by a goddess named Melfina who assists his adventurous journey such as being forced to go on quests and travel through other areas. It combines this adventure aspect with magical battles throughout the series, and that it also incorporates typical adventure tropes further making it relevant to be categorized as an adventure anime. Therefore, it is accurate to classify Black Summoner under the adventure category alongside its action and fantasy themes.

Add: Otaku Culture
Remove:
Detailed Reasoning: Boku wa Tomodachi ga Suknai (Haganai: I don’t have many friends) and Netoge no Yome wa Onnanoko ja Nai to Omotta? (And you thought there is never a girl online?) are both popular romantic-comedies that prominently incorporate elements of otaku culture into their plot. Haganai features school clubs, personal activities, and characters who have hobbies playing games specifically RPGs as well as eroge based ones. Similarly, Netoge has online games, school clubs, and people who are otakus including the protagonist himself. They both also explore themes of social communications, friendship, culture, and club areas typical of otaku culture anime within their romantic-comedy storyline and school settings in both series. Therefore, these two series fit the inclusion of an otaku culture tag due to those aspects that align with the category.
