I really hope that the moderators will come to their senses and return the normal name of the genres, that is, yuri and yaoi and shojo-ai shounen-ai, and not the bad-sounding GL and Bl and GL + erotica. You contradict yourself from one yuri made girl love + erotic. With this temp you will soon change the site to mycartoonslist.net?


Agreed. GL & BL just sound terrible. I get it is a more common term in Japan to use but for other countries? Not really. I will still call it Yuri & Yaoi

While I think this is a greate change, one thing bugs me: If I look at any not-custom search query (e.g. the current season https://myanimelist.net/anime/season ) the 'genre header' or how ever you want to call it, is missing some important information like the Themes. Now that school is a theme, I cant just keep an eye out for animes tagged with "school" while browsing these lists.

Edit: 'non-custom search query' because: If you use the search function to include school, you obviously know that anime that are displayed, are themed 'school'

@Kineta is Genre/Theme/Demographic going to be added to the Filter link on our lists as well?
You mean like the dropdown on the Seasonal page for Genre/Theme/Demographic? For now, it was planned that they would operate like Tags: clicking them enables the single filter. I suppose you're wanting to multi-filter, like Romance+Comedy? Would a "My List" filter to the Advanced Search suffice for that, or are you wanting to multi-click to stack tag filters until they're cleared?

So when I first asked this question it was for adding them to the Filters pop-up of our lists, but are there any plans of making a multi-filter or multi-click for url's so that only Shounen Sci-Fi Adventure shows up and later Theme being able to be combined/stacked as well?

We don't even need the multi-click for now, simply being able to type it in manually would be nice.

because right now we can only do demographic or genre (not both, the 2nd one gets ignored) + tag

https://myanimelist.net/mangalist/ShaggyZE?status=7&genre=24&demographic=27&tag=Adventure
ie only Dr. Stone would show.

The tech team is still focused on the themes implementation so we haven't discussed or planned this out yet. The multi-click was my idea based on the original question you asked, and I haven't pitched it yet. I'll make sure this is on my list.

Ok, Thanks!, glad it is on your list and I will wait patiently since I know they still have a lot they are working on.

@Kineta

The magic genre was removed; however, some Hentai still remain with the Magic genre. For example:
Rance 01: Hikari wo Motomete The Animation
Tentacle and Witches

Also, there are more than 10,000 Anime in the database and only 1 tagged with Work Life. Just checking if more Anime will be tagged with this new genre.

I've mentioned in another post but Isekai should be added to the themes on both the anime and manga side.

Also, what happened to the Magic genre? Could we get that back added as an genre?

When will the second update take place ? Propably next year hopefully in the first quarter, considering the year is slowly reaching its end.

I hope you'll add descriptions on what exactly counts as Girls Love and Boys Love animes, because I'm tired of seeing hetero p*rn in the GL category.

Super late here, but I wanted to contribute a thought. I think almost all of the changes are fantastic, but I strongly disagree with Yuri/Yaoi being split into Girls/Boys Love and Erotica together. Yuri didn't always mean erotic, just that there were sexual themes/events. Sex can exist within a story without it being smut or erotic (or pornographic) in nature. Reducing a manga like Octave (a fav that inspired me to reply to this) to "erotic" feels like a mislabeling of the story.

I think it was supposed to be a temporary solution, but then they just didn't work on this update in four months.
