Like the title says, what shows or movies have you seen, and thought that they might be better if they didn't have say comedy or you wish it was more psychological, or any other genre that you wish you could change.

Bakuman without the romance.
Food wars without echhi.
Fate zero with a little more edge.

Monogatari series. I would probably add the ecchi tag into its genres
Gintama. I would add the Sol tag.

I would make One Piece edgier, like Hunter x Hunter or Jojo level. That show needs more deaths outside flashbacks. Its ridiculous that some of the characters don't die despite what not. I'd also remove tit jobs from some of the female characters.

I'd like to take out the weird fooling around/attempted comedy-like-moments from KimiUso, it really didn't mix in well.

Although Kyo Kara Maoh "officially" doesn't have romance or shounen-ai as it's genres (some sites do list them) it would definitely be 100x more better if they cut off all of those annoying fujo-baiting/pandering scenes/fillers. They can always replace it with more comedy! It's definitely not going to stop fujoshits from shipping Yuuri x Wolfram but at the very least they wouldn't be going around screaming that something from a filler episode it the original author's true intention even though such a thing doesn't even exist in the original source.

If tsundere was a genre would have definitely replaced it with some better type suitable for the story

I dunno why people seem to be talking about database tags so much whenever this is asking for personal input over genres/elements you think that would add to a series ._.

Like the title says, what shows or movies have you seen, and thought that they might be better if they didn't have say comedy or you wish it was more psychological, or any other genre that you wish you could change.


Idk, maybe my imagination is just running wild or something, but with "and thought they might be better if they didn't have say comedy or you wish it was more psychological" as an example gives me such an impression

----

either way i'd just add ecchi to everything

if people think they're drowning in sexualized fanservice now, i'd loathe to think how they'd feel about an industry with me at the helm

What's wrong with fujoshi shipping Yuuri and Wolfram? I don't think they deserve to be called what you called them for pairing them together. It's easy to see why they would and even in the manga there are chapters like 108 and 111 that would give them more reason for them to be hopeful.

Those fujoshits hate on other characters just for the sake of some stupid abusive tsundere. The manga was complete fan-service towards the end, would have accepted it if they would come up with something logical but the just put in a lot of illogical garbage even though they could have just followed the original LNs.

Does chapter 108 even make any sense? The brat ran off thinking Yuuri was flirting around with someone but ended up seeing Conrad and the box and easily got taken over and sucked into it. Then all they had to do was put in a super cliche rescue which hardly even took any effort, on top of that he was literally half asleep letting his precious fiance walk anywhere in such a dangerous place. And then all of a sudden he can control his box!?

I really can't remember what happened in chapter 111.

Just giving back all the hate the Yuuram fujoshits have spouted during my past 7 years in that cancerous fandom. Their double standards were higher than Mt. Everest.

Turn the Tsundere into a f*ghag and you're good to go. She should also be a Tsundere, all f*ghags are also Tsunderes. Tis truth.

lol for some reason the romance in sao was the high point of that show for me. although, it wasn't very good romance, it felt very forced. i think if it paid more attention to the romance and developing it extensively and dramatically through the whole story(Maison Ikkoku style) rather than just tack it on like it was, it could have had the potential to be the best most influential thing to come out since evangelion.. Like comedy, romance is an amazing genre that has a lot of open windows to other genres, but to make it really good, it can't be tacked on like comedic relief. You really gotta make it the core genre.

Probably why i adore netoge so much... sao missed out on something huge, too bad it failed. maybe there will be some scifi/fantasy with a wicked cool idea/world that is actually a romance...in the future?

The novels are really well written but I only ever liked him in the anime back when the first 2 seasons were shown here on Animax, I began to like Conrad more when I found out about the novels and started reading them.
