@Zarutaku the fuck does the word subtext mean to you? Just curious. Also curious how things get multiple genres if it has to be THE main focus to qualify. Why are people so stupid on this specific thing?

I never said anything about subtext, so I don't know what you're getting at. Besides, romantic subtext has been replaced by love status quo.

Not all genres need to be the main focus to be tagged as such, but in case of romance it seemingly has to be.

I didn't make up that definition, better ask the responsible staff.
No, this isn't my signature~desu.

@ZXEAN I never talked about what will happen later, if it's gonna have more romances then it perhaps will receive the tag.
If you think romance already is the main focus now, then you need to convince responsible staff, not me.
@Zarutaku I just got frustrated by your broken Engrish that all. Anyway have a nice day.

Because the main focus of the plot isn't a romance? It's way more action and dealing with supernatural.

Btw, I see a lot of crap post up there, some people really never watched romance anime when they think that some elements of romance in story means it's a romance genre.
Btw, why Code Geass isn't a romance or harem anime? Lelouch had so many romantic interactions, and so many girls were in love with him.
@Vampire_Lord Go read the manga.

It isn't. But only 6 episodes are out, and people are discussing anime in anime section.

@Vampire_Lord Then if you don't know about the source material don't post crap here. You started comparing this with Code Geass's romance which is a completed series. Moreover the romance of Dandadan stared from episode 1 itself but got overshadowed by supernatural and action unlike the latest 2 episodes.

Dandadan in it's core is a romance. The authors read more that 100 romance manga to write the romance of Dandadan properly.

@RobertBobert yeah in 2039 I'll just find the perfect stack that finds me this. Lets organize the website based off that hope rather than just correctly labeling things.
@Spitonme You are confusing custom tags with official marketing of works. Just because a show has romance doesn't make it a romance anime. Otherwise, half of our site would have the romance tag.

I wouldn't post or discuss anything here if it's on source material page. It was just an example of romance elements in some anime with different tagged genre/s. I'm not watching some currently airing show that's not a romance one so I couldn't use that example instead or it's pointless if most people never watched it. Manga readers should have in mind that our point of view is far more limited than someone who already read 180 chapters of source material and it's pointless for anime only people to discuss something that will watch in a few years.

Good to know. I'm a fan of a romance genre and I really liked Dandadan until now. Maybe it will enter in my top 10 romance anime when more content is adapted.

@Merve2Love the point of a website like this is not for the people already watching. Databases are good when organized for future generations. This debate also isn't only about this specific show, it's turned into people saying you don't need tags if something is obvious. So what Supernatural or Drama or insert any other tag show might I or someone else miss in that genre because the genre wasn't tagged properly because it's "obvious" it's a slippery slope of just making the entire website historically pointless.

why the fuck...

This is a cry to whoever is in charge of putting the Genre tags on these entries. Dandadan should have the Romance tag. It is very much a romance story as much it is a supernatural action series. It is even promoted as a 'young romance' series in a lot of promotional material. Heck, the show literally starts with a romance related scene, and is very adamant about it being a romance. So why is it not tagged as one on MAL???

first of all does it matter? second of all its not a romance, neither is naruto or black clover.

Good question, there are animes and mangas with the wrong tag to this day, Fairy Ranmaru for example is full of kisses and making out between boys and doesn't have the bl tag.

OP here.

To everyone saying 'why does it matter' or 'why do you care'
A: We are using a site to rank and look at fictional series from Japan. Why does anything matter right? Might as well just not have tags at all right?

To everyone saying 'the romance isn't the main focus' or 'the romance doesn't start until later'
A: the romance is very much the main focus and it starts as early as the first episode which is also the first chapter.
Quote from the introduction to the show on the official Dandadan anime page '運命の恋も始まる!?' 'A fated romance begins!?' it being a coming of age romance story is part of its charm. And it's just strange that with a series so focused on romance, there is no romance tag.

Looking at MAL's definition of the romance tag, it can kinda be justified? Seeing as other shows like Undead Unluck, Re:Zero, and Mushoku Tensei don't have it either, all of which have heavy romance in it's story. But I think all of the above shows should have it.

I agree, this does need a romance tag. I feel like the moderators at MAL just give all Shounen Jump anime adaptations the same fucking tags: Action, Comedy, Supernatural, Shounen and there just fucking done with it at that point. They never bother to categorize SJ anime properly. This should AT LEAST have a Romantic Subtext tag but nope. Nothing.
This show has more romance than actual "romance" tagged garbage seasonal anime that air every season with a highschool focus.
