By your logic they should simply call it "adult," since "character-descriptive theme names are already implicitly referring to the MCs."
They could, but then too many people would think about "adult themes" such as sex.By your logic they should simply call it "adult," since "character-descriptive theme names are already implicitly referring to the MCs."

Adventure, comedy, romance, girls love, sport, and childcare are not words that describe people.
They describe what the characters are doing, which is part of a character description. "They are on an adventure.", "They are in a romance.", "They are doing sports.", "They are doing childcare."Adventure, comedy, romance, girls love, sport, and childcare are not words that describe people.

Yet the "villainess" theme is not meant to describe someone who slays a villainess, even though that is usually what one does with a villainess.  |

I think dark fantasy would fit certain series that currently don't have the regular fantasy tag but could be considered as such.

What are some dark fantasy anime that lack the fantasy tag?
| @Lucifrost Mostly vampire stuff. I think vampires are in that area where they can count as horror/supernatural and fantasy. Maybe that's just me. |
| Except for WataOshi I've liked all Villainess isekai so far so I'll go with that. |

Lucifrost said: I'm complaining about the new theme's name, not it's existence. While it doesn't need to specify details covered by other tags, "villainess" alone is too vague. Since we're already using a Japanese word for Isekai, a possible solution would be doing the same for the villainess subgenre: it's "Akuyaku Reijou" in Japan. Some people are using "Otome Isekai", but it's not the way these stories are called in Japan. |

| Villainess is a valid one. Love status quo is basically a red flag to not watch, |

| @Lucifrost Probably there aren't enough people who consider it as ambiguous and the admins don't want to extend the name unnecessarily. |

| Urban Fantasy. It's an interesting setting/theme of its own, and through a quick glance, I see many shows I like, but it surely doesn't help that the only Villainess anime I saw was mediocre while the Love Status Quo tends to create a lot of annoying moments. |
| spiritual successor of lord rothchild. |
| I guess my favorite is Love Status Quo. I'm a huge sucker for the romance genre and I assume this new theme mostly houses the teasing subcategory. Some thing that does surprise me is Villainess got its own category (a little early I think). There's like less than 20 shows lol imo it's a little too small. Maybe in the next 5ish years I could see it becoming it's own niche. |
