Link to entry: Kuro no Shoukanshi (Black Summoner)
Add: Adventure

The story revolves around the protagonist, Kelvin, who has been reincarnated and a goddess, Melfina, starts guiding him through his journey and he is basically forced to go on quests as he tries to earn points by doing this activity as well.

Link to entry: Genocyber
Add: Suspense, Military, Super Power
Detailed Reasoning: The presence of a psychological tag listed justifies the classification of Genocyber as a suspense anime, and the series constantly involves twists, turns, intensity, and a suspenseful atmosphere itself. Genocyber can be classified as a military anime due to it’s emphasis on armies, warfare, violence, agents, and weaponry typical or common characteristics of military anime. Classifying Genocyber as a superpower anime would be pretty relevant because it is about a plot where characters sense a powerful genetic weapon known as the “Genocyber”, and by manipulating it, people posses tons of psychic powers including telekinesis, telepathy, mind control, senses, and the ability to manipulate reality. Furthermore, Genocyber shares similarities with other entries that are labeled under some of these categories to varying degrees, and similar anime to it include Elfen Lied, Baoh Raihousha (Baoh the Visiter), Akira, and Soukihei MD Geist (M.D. Geist). Therefore, Genocyber is an anime that may be appropriately categorized as a suspense, military, and superpower one.
Link to entry: Seijuuki Cyguard (Cybernetic Guardians)
Add: Action, Gore, Super Power
Detailed Reasoning: Seijuuki Cyguard (Cybernetic Guardians) is fully relevant to categorize as an action anime as it is a focal point of this series often featuring a profusion of battles where characters transform into supernatural mecha suits to combat, and use their superpowers against other mechanics or people throughout the series. As such, Seijuuki Cyguard (Cybernetic Guardians) can be classified as a superpower anime because it revolves around a premise where scientists give certain individuals a demonic suit which gives them psychic abilities, enchantments, and supernaturally combat powers aligning fittingly within the superpower category. Finally, classifying it as a gory anime would be justified due to prominent and brutal deceptions of violence, dismemberment, killing, mutilation, injuries, and visceral fighting throughout. Therefore, it is appropriate to add the classifications of these tags for Seijuuki Cyguard (Cybernetic Guardians) as they are in sooth notable aspects of the entry.
Link to entry: Street Fighter Show
Add: Adult Cast, Martial Arts, Super Power
Detailed Reasoning: The characters within the Street Fighter franchise including Ryu and Ken as well as many other notable ones are considered to be adults making it subtle for an adult cast label to be put under the themes section. Street Fighter, and the franchise as a whole is essentially a martial arts as the characters theirselves are martial arts learning through a superabundance of fighting styles that include fists, punching (both up or in a persons face), kicking, strength, training, and super-powered combat makes it evident to not omit that category for this entry of the series but rather very apt. Adding a super power tag is appropriate for Street Fighter because a ton of characters learn or possess numerous superhuman powers that they utilize frequently when fight scenes occur and there are examples such as hadouken, strength, punches, beams, transformations, and supernaturally skilled techniques. All of these tags are relevant for the franchise, and as an example, those mentioned things are typical characteristics of superpower and martial arts entries. Overall, Street Fighter is a great example of an entry that features action-packed battles, martial arts, adventure, powers, and character development.
Link to entry: Street Fighter Movies
Add: Action, Adult Cast, Martial Arts, Super Power
Detailed Reasoning: Many characters within the Street Fighter franchise are considered to be adults or older people rather than purely teenaged or children making it subtle to put a adult cast tag listed. The series is entirely essential to be classified as an action-packed martial arts anime as it emphasizes epic battles and superabundance of fighting styles typical of martial arts entries that include hand to hand combat, fists, training, punching, kicks, dodges, and super-powered combat. Street Fighter can be categorized as a superpower anime due to its focus on characters who learn and posses their superhuman powers that include a profusion of abilities occurring during the fight scenes.
For example, one of the movies is prominent for Ryu utilizing his hadouken ability, and if you look at this scene, it makes it persuasive that it is evidently an anime that belongs to the superpower category.
Overall, Street Fighter is a franchise that is a prime example of something featuring a combination of action-packed battles, martial arts, adventure, powers, and character development.
Link to entry: Nurse Witch Komugi-chan Magikarte (Nurse Witch Komugi)
Add: Ecchi, Sci-Fi, Idols Female, Medical, Otaku Culture
Detailed Reasoning: Nurse Witch Komugi-chan Magikarte (Nurse Witch Komugi) features prominent and abundant instances of ecchi-ness including explicit fanservice, sexualization, innuendos, crude humor, and occasional nudity with bare breasts aligning within the ecchi genre in contrast to other entries that have milder or limited ecchi content. This anime incorporates characteristics of the sci-fi genre such as fictional characters, medications, mechanics, and futuristic technology making it appropriate to be classified as a sci-fi anime. There are also things that often involve the main character, Komugi, who is a nurse herself accompanied by fanatical vaccines and viruses as well does she have a hobby of cosplaying as a idol often involving playful behavior and is an actress.

Add: Iyashikei, Visual Arts
Remove: N/A

The series is about an author who enjoys writing books (it’d hence be appropriate to list it under a visual arts theme to some extent since the presence of writing books plays a significant role, and can be considered a form of visual arts), and has a pet cat who he frequently gets into endearing or even occasionally lighthearted situations with at certain scenes contributing to a comfortable experience looking through these scenarios.
There are also episodes that involve character development showcasing things that the characters face, and overcome when depth progress contributing to engaging storytellings that are able to touch a viewers heart. Furthermore, Dokuyonin wa Hiza Tokidoki Atama no Ue (My Roommate is a Cat) places an emphasis on themes related to friendship typical of iyashikei entries as it relates to a relationship between the protagonist and his pet cat which in general would be considered a form of friendship topics. Additionally, Dokuyonin wa Hiza Tokidoki Atama no Ue (My Roommate is a Cat) is often noted to be similar to entries that have an iyashikei categorization such as Barakamon in particular, and this is because they are both known for being wholesome anime revolving around a man who enjoys writing as well does he take care of others making the former comparable to the later in terms of iyashikei content. Regarding a visual arts tag, I’ve had explain earlier about what this show has to do with, and that’s the reason why a visual arts label may be appropriate. Therefore, classifying Dokuyonin wa Hiza Tokidoki Atama no Ue (My Roommate is a Cat) is a subtle addition to consider of the categories for iyashikei and visual arts.

Additionally, Kujakuou (Spirit Warriors) has a mythology theme listed further justifying an addition for a supernatural genre, and the anime relates to various supernatural or mythical beings such as demons, spirits, folklore, mystics, and ancient monsters within a Japanese world setting. Adding a gore tag would also be justified as this entry prominently features graphic violence and disturbing/adult imagery including blood plus it is known for sharing a similar amount of such content as some other entries within the gore category.
