Really needs to be a consistent list of Genres for all the Street Fighter Anime.

Link to entry: https://myanimelist.net/anime/950/Street_Fighter_Alpha__Generations
Add: Action, Martial Arts, Super Power
Remove: N/A
Detailed Reasoning: The Street Fighter animated movies are based on the Street Fighter Arcade Fighting Game where the characters use martial arts and super powers, so it would not make sense if those two genres weren't included in this particular movie, which is clearly an action movie.

Link to entry: https://myanimelist.net/anime/1362/Street_Fighter_II_Movie
Add: Super Power
Remove: N/A
Detailed Reasoning: All the special moves are pretty much super powers since they're impossible to do in real life.

Link to entry: https://myanimelist.net/anime/876/Street_Fighter_II_V
Add: Martial Arts; Super Power
Remove: N/A
Detailed Reasoning: The Street Fighter animated movies are based on the Street Fighter Arcade Fighting Game where the characters use martial arts and super powers, so it would not make sense if those two genres weren't included in this particular series. At least this one does have the Action tag.

Link to entry: Kuro no Shoukanshi (Black Summoner)
Add: Adventure
Detailed Reasoning: Kuro no Shoukanshi (Black Summoner) is an anime that would be aptly categorized as an adventure anime on MyAnimeList. 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. Throughout the series, he travels on journeys through various battles he faces and the show has typical tropes or characteristics that are common in adventure entries such as emphasis on action, magic, and fantasy as well as an isekai theme. Overall, Kuro no Shoukanshi (Black Summoner) intertwines adventures with magical battles and can arguably be described as an example of a entry that is missing the adventure genre listed, but is really supposed to have that tag labeled under genres and thus it’s an adventure series.

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. Additionally, Nurse Witch Komugi-chan Magikarte (Nurse Witch Komugi) parodies anime cliches, stereotypes, and tropes typical of parody and otaku series. Therefore, it is often classified under these mentioned tags on other sites and would be appropriately categorized as such on MyAnimeList as well.

Link to entry: Doukyonin wa Hiza Tokidoki Atama no Ue (My Roommate is a Cat)
Add: Iyashikei, Visual Arts
Remove: N/A
Detailed Reasoning: Dokuyonin wa Hiza Tokidoki Atama no Ue (My Roommate is a Cat) should be categorized as an iyashikei anime on MyAnimeList, and the show itself is commonly classified to fall within that category. 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.

Link to entry: Sonic the Hedgehog: The Movie
Add: Action
Remove: N/A
Detailed Reasoning: Adding a action genre would be evident for Sonic’s movie as it is in particular known for featuring a battle between Sonic and Metal Sonic showcasing action sequences that include jumps, dash, fighting, and energy.

Link to entry: Kujakuou (Spirit Warrior)
Add: Supernatural, Gore
Detailed Reasoning: The storyline revolves around the protagonist, Kujaku, who’s a young mystic and exorcist born with supernatural powers of an origin possessed by priests. 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.

Link to entry: DRAMAtical Murder
Add: Drama, Suspense, Adult Cast
Remove:
Detailed Reasoning: Firstly, DRAMAtical Murder can be classified as a drama anime alongside within it’s action and sci-fi storyline because it explores themes of friendship, personal growth, relationships, identity, moral dilemmas, bonds, and depth creating completing-ness hence all of which are common characteristics of the drama genre entries on MyAnimeList. Secondly, the presence of a psychological theme listed for DRAMAtical Murder justifies an inclusion of the suspense tag, and it features a lot of tension, mystery, battles, complexity, and twists typical of that category. Finally, the main characters from DRAMAtical Murder are adults in their age rather than teenagers or children making it appropriate for the adult cast label under the tags. Therefore, it is justified to add these mentioned genres for this entry known as DRAMAtical Murder.

Link to entry: Zettai Karen Children (Psychic Squad)
Add: Sci-Fi, Organized Crime, Super Power
Remove:
Detailed Reasoning: Firstly, Zettai Karen Children (Psychic Squad) incorporates multiple things that are common characteristics of the sci-fi genre including laboratories, scientists, psychics, and types of supernatural abilities such as the use of ESP powers contribute to it’s classification as a sci-fi anime. Secondly, the presence of a criminal organization plays a central role in the storyline of Zettai Karen Children (Psychic Squad) as there is a crime syndicate known as “B.A.B.E.L” which is a laboratory that the children work for to stop any criminals, and there is also an antagonist, Hyobou, who forms an force that deals with this organization as well as he is the leader of P.A.N.D.A.R.A and posses his ability to use a fully powered-up ESP counter. Finally, Zettai Karen Children (Psychic Squad) can predominantly be classified as a super power anime as individuals posses a specific kind of ability hence is what potentially qualifies an anime to be categorized as a superpower one, and in that case, this show revolves around children who posses abilities called ESP powers including telekinesis, mind reading, and other things that have to do with control relations. Therefore, it is appropriate to classify Zettai Karen Children (Psychic Squad) under these categories mentioned, and are aspects that play a significant role in the plot.

Link to entry: Arcana Famiglia (La storia della Arcana Famiglia)
Add: Organized Crime, Super Power
Remove:
Detailed Reasoning: An organized crime entry typically features any criminal activity or organization that is central to the plot within that anime. In that case, Arcana Famiglia (La storia della Arcana Famigila) revolves around a super-powered mafia (the term mafia usually relates to criminal organizations) known as “Arcana Famiglia”. As such, they are individuals that battle by using various superhuman abilities that they posses including overwhelming strength, invisibility, or the power to see into someone's heart, hence all of which are mentioned in the synopsis as well are they characteristic of the superpower category and play a major role in the story. Furthermore, Arcana Famiglia (La storia della Arcana Famigila) is often compared to other entries that are categorized as organized crime such as Katekyou Hitman Reborn! (Reborn), and this is likely because they both center around mafia individuals who posses supernatural powers. Therefore, it is accurate to classify Arcana Famiglia (La storia della Arcana Famigila) as an organized crime and super power anime.

Link to entry: Momo Kyun Sword (Momokyun Sword)
Add: Action, Adventure, Mahou Shoujo, Mythology
Remove:
Detailed Reasoning: Momo Kyun Sword (Momokyun Sword) is an anime that’d be appropriately classified as an action-adventure and mythology based magical girl anime for several reasons:

Action Tag: Momo Kyun Sword (Momokyun Sword) features a plethora of action-packed battles that have a focus on combat, magic, and the main characters fighting off other mythical beings.

Adventure Tag: The adventure aspect plays a central role in Momo Kyun Sword (Momokyun Sword) as the protagonists, Momoko and her three companions, embark a journey to search for the treasure to protect Momoko’s land.

Mahou Shoujo Tag: Momo Kyun Sword (Momokyun Sword) incorporates characteristics common in the magical girl category that include female leads, magic, weapons, powers, battles, and fantasy themes make it appropriate to classify it under that tag.

Mythology: Momo Kyun Sword (Momokyun Sword) has an emphasis on heavily inspired by things related to mythology including folklore, demons, monsters, gods, and mythical beings.

In conclusion, it would be accurate to add these labels to Momo Kyun Sword ( Momokyun Sword) and it can be described as a ecchi-ish adventurous action-fantasy magical girl based mythology com anime, hence should have those categories added to it’s entry.
