| Link to entry: https://myanimelist.net/anime/11867/Cipher Add: Avant Garde, Music Detailed Reasoning: The first reason why this should have the Avant Garde Tag is how the story is told: it starts as an AMV, then it turns into a mockumentary, then as a "movie trailer", then as an interview, then back to a music video, and finally as a regular drama. All of that happens on the same story and in a span of just 26 minutes. This is unlike practically all other anime that exist. Second is the part of unsettled feelings, the overall reception of this OVA is really mixed, some people consider it great but some other people despise it, this can be checked on the score statistics, having one of the most divisive and varied ratings of all anime in this page. As for why music should be added, it is because the majority of the OVA is just music with no dialogue, the story is mostly told visually with no talking. Thanks! |

The anthropomorphic part comes from the fact the main characters are anthropomorphic bears.

| Link to entry: https://myanimelist.net/anime/8861 Add: Erotica Remove: Ecchi Detailed Reasoning: Well the series shows some sex scenes without exposing the genital area, same as the other erotica anime, so I think It's way past the Ecchi. |
 |
| Link to entry: https://myanimelist.net/anime/31845/Masou_Gakuen_HxH Add: Erotica Remove: Ecchi Detailed Reasoning: If Valkyrie Drive Mermaid is an erotica, I don't see any problem with Masou Gakuen HxH become one also. In episode 4, the MC, Kizuna touches Aine's genital area intentionally. In episode 6, kizuna intentionally performs a cunninglus on Himekawa, uses butt plug and played with it while the Himekawa "climax". In episode 9, it starts of with Kizuna shows the "stats" of the 3 main girls to the boys in the class, the "stats" is basically showing the girl's sensitive spot and the girls are basically nude in the picture on the status then later in the episode, Kizuna undresses Aine, went inside her panties and remove it, Aine is basically nude, then they use the shadow as the convenient censoring for Aine's genital area. In the last episode, Kizuna fingered Aine in public, using the panties as the convenient censoring. All of those were shown in the anime, not just implied or cut from the frame, all of which are way past Ecchi. I'd say this is more border hentai than Valkyrie Drive. Link to entry: https://myanimelist.net/anime/34447/Masou_Gakuen_HxH_Specials Add: Erotica Remove: Ecchi Detailed Reasoning: Main reason was about the Valkyrie Drive which I said above, also in episode 1, Kizuna targeted Aine's genital area, using the scroll to rub it against Aine's private part. In episode 2, Kizuna's fingers went inside Yurishia's bloomers and fingered her while they are airing in a show. In episode 3, Himekawa played with the butt plug tail again, inserts them slowly in her private part. In episode 4, Kizuna and her sister nearly had sex. In episode 5, it shows how Kizuna "installing a core" on Slyvia, which is basically inserting an egg vibrator like thing on Slyvia's genital. Nothing really extreme happened in episode 6. Because most of the episodes are way out of Ecchi, I believe that this should be an Erotica. |

| Link to Entry: https://myanimelist.net/anime/40052/Great_Pretender https://myanimelist.net/anime/57184/Great_Pretender__Razbliuto Add: Organized Crime Remove: Detailed Reasoning: Not only are the main characters a team of con artists, but they regularly work against actual mafia organizations (this is the focus of the first and final arcs of the main series, i.e. over half its runtime ; as well as the whole of Razbliuto). |
| Link to entry: Kengan Ashura Add: Adult Cast, Gore Remove: Detailed Reasoning: In Kengan Ashura, there are multiple characters present who are grown-ups aka adults or older people, and the series also has mature content. Generally speaking, adding the gore tag is justified for Kengan Ashura because it incorporates an immeasurable amount of gore throughout the series with a central focus revolving around outright bloody fists or hand-to-hand combat fights that lead to instances of mutilation, and even scenes where characters spit of blood. Additionally, Kengan Ashura is classified as an anime that is labeled under an explicit violence warning and features characters who are predominantly considered to fall under the adult spectrum on a site called Anime-Planet. Furthermore, it is comparable to Baki in terms of gore as both series are re-owned for their bloody fist fights. Link to entry: Baki Franchise Add: Action, Martial Arts Remove: Sports, Combat Sports Detailed Reasoning: The Baki Franchise is more accurately categorized as a martial arts anime with a focus on combat rather than a combat sports anime traditionally. Hence, Baki does have elements of various fighting techniques including both kicks or punches, and features tournament matches, the presence of martial arts aligns with the genre because the series features numerous characteristics of the martial arts genre such as hand-to-hand combat, fist fights, kicking, dojos, training, dodging, and slowly encountering an opponent during a fight scene. In contrast to other combat sports anime like Hajime no Ippo (Fighting Spirit) or even Levius, Baki doesn't center around stuff that involves boxing to the extent they do, and Baki is more comparable to series with the martial arts classification such as Kengan Ashura as they both involve hand-to-hand combat and fist techniques but do not explicitly focus on sports-oriented stuff. Therefore, the combat sports theme should be replaced with the martial arts one instead. Link to entry: Levius Add: Adult Cast Remove: Detailed Reasoning: This show features a predominant cast of adults. Link to entry: Musaigen no Phantom World (Myarid Colors Phantom World) Add: Supernatural, Super Power Remove: Fantasy, Ecchi Detailed Reasoning: These categorizations for Musaigen no Phantom World (Myriad Colors Phantom World) should be adjusted for the following explanation: Replace Fantasy With Supernatural: Musaigen no Phantom World (Myriad Colors Phantom World) is more of a supernatural anime rather than a full-fledged fantasy because the overall visuals of the setting where it takes place tend to lean more towards the supernatural genre, and it is a central theme of the series featuring characteristics of the genre such as ghosts, youkai, and spirits rather than traditional fantasy things after all. Although Musaigen no Phantom World (Myriad Colors Phantom World) does indeed have stuff that may appear to be fantastical, the focus of the series places it toward the supernatural genre as mentioned earlier and the description of Musaigen no Phantom World (Myriad Colors Phantom World) mentions a variety of supernatural entities that play a predominant component solidifying it's classification as a supernatural anime. As a result, I believe that it may be more appropriate to just classify it as a supernatural anime. Synopsis Phantoms: supernatural entities such as ghosts or youkai that, until recently, were thought to be superstition. However, when a virus that infects the brain spreads throughout society, people's perception of the world changes as the mythical beings are revealed to have been living alongside humanity the entire time. This virus has also affected those of the next generation significantly, allowing them to develop special abilities that they can use to fight against dangerous phantoms. Haruhiko Ichijou and Mai Kawakami are two of those that were granted such power—Haruhiko wields the ability to summon and seal phantoms through drawings, while Mai imbues the power of the elements into martial arts. Together, along with the friendly phantom Ruru, they form Team E of Hosea Academy, which is dedicated to dealing with these often mischievous beings. In a world where the real and surreal intertwine, they handle the everyday troubles caused by phantoms. Super Power; Musaigen no Phantom World (Myriad Colors Phantom World) centers around students known as phantoms who possess special abilities that they use to battle against supernatural entities that they encounter throughout the series leading to scenes that offer purely impressive animation. Remove The Ecchi Categorization: While Musaigen no Phantom World (Myriad Colors Phantom World) does include occasional fan-service scenes, they are typically minimal, tame, incidental, and occur infrequently or sparingly throughout the series rather than being a central focus. The fan service mainly consists of moments of suggestive content and absurd situations, but they are not overly graphic or proactive, and the series focuses more on supernatural battles and character interactions rather than explicit fan service or sexual content typical characteristics of the ecchi genre. In fact, there are a variety of anime that lack the ecchi classification but still incorporate more prominent ecchi elements than Musaigen no Phantom World (Myriad Colors Phantom World) does, and this further justifies squarely the removal of the ecchi tag considering how limited the inclusion of ecchi-ness content is compared to dedicated ecchi anime. Therefore, the tags should be updated for Musaigen no Phantom World (Myriad Colors Phantom World). |

Also, all the characters are very obviously adults (as you can see from the sex scenes). Link to Entry: https://myanimelist.net/anime/57390/Wonderful_Precure Add: Pets Remove: Detailed Reasoning: Not only are two of the main characters pets (a dog and a cat), but every episode focuses on the proper care of pets. It's the dominant theme for this season.

| Link to entry: https://myanimelist.net/anime/47194/Summertime_Render Add: Action Detailed Reasoning: Summertime Render has a quite large number of battles against the shadows, and the way to defeat some of them involve physical battling. The series turns more action-focused especially in the second half, which can be reflected in the opening. Link to entry: https://myanimelist.net/anime/721/Princess_Tutu Add: Love Polygon, Anthropomorphic Remove: Comedy Detailed Reasoning: The reason why Princess Tutu is a love polygon is because along the story we see a love square among the protagonist quartet, which reaches the point where one is not sure who are going to end up together or not. The love rivalry between Rue and Ahiru for Mythos is a very important point in the plot, while Fakir slowly develops feelings for Ahiru. As for the anthropomorphic part, there is a sizeable amont of the cast that are anthropomorphic animals, including the protagonist who is an anthropomorphic duck that can transform into a girl and vice-versa. As for why the comedy tag should be removed, the series, while it has some comedic moments for relief, it is not relevant for the main plot or the story structure. Princess Tutu overall is more of a tragedy instead. Thanks! |

| Link to entry: https://myanimelist.net/anime/7112/Ginga_Tetsudou_no_Yoru__Fantasy_Railroad_in_the_Stars Add: Avant Garde Remove: N/A Detailed Reasoning: Unlike the majority of anime films, the way this story is told is purely by narration, off-screen dialogue and showing of foreground text, in fact, all of the characters in the story are just mentioned and nobody is shown in screen at any moment nor any of the actions they do, only backgrounds, objects and scenarios are shown. This movie aims to showcase a musical/visual experience with as little dialogue as possible, with a focus on the soundtrack. A completely different approach compared to the 1985 film which is told in a more conventional way. Thanks! |

Reasoning: Taking into account their original source of creation (the Glass Mask manga in this case), I think it would be reasonable to label them as shoujos. Especially taking into account that Glass Mask is a shoujo that was born under the magazine Bessatsu Hana to Yume, demographically shoujo. Link to entry: https://myanimelist.net/anime/178/Ultra_Maniac https://myanimelist.net/anime/179/Ultra_Maniac_OVA Add: Fantasy. Reasoning: Taking into account that Ultra Maniac is a Mahou Shoujo series and has fantastic animals, magic and even a person who flies in a chair, I think the fantasy element could be a viable option to add.

Link to entry: https://myanimelist.net/anime/951/Chibi_Maruko-chan https://myanimelist.net/anime/6149/Chibi_Maruko-chan_1995 Remove: Comedy. Reasoning: In accordance with MAL's policies, Comedy is incompatible with the Slice of Life genre. The decision of why to prioritize the slice of life genre is very simple, the anime revolves around Momoko Sakura's daily life. Link to entry: https://myanimelist.net/anime/1728/Super_GALS_Kotobuki_Ran Remove: Slice of Life. Reasoning: The series shows the daily life of 3 students who are Gals. However, it prioritizes comic moments more than anything, such as the confrontation between the Gals of Shibuya and Ikebukuro or, also, the Ganguro students. Furthermore, what reinforces the theory is that a flying ganguro always appears, adding touches of humor, like the following example: |

| Link to entry https://myanimelist.net/anime/8424/MM Add :Romance Remove : change Ecchi to Erotica (Preferably) Detailed Reasoning : For romance, is quite simple. The two main girl in this anime is ABSOLUTELY must have romantic feeling with MC and backed with actual romantic scene. Nobody will not agreed with this if you watched the show. For Ecchi change to erotica, in my opinion this show is literally sold KINK (Masochist) as the series main selling point and other kinks too for smaller degree on mostly side characters, also its very consistent each episodes. |

on | Link to entry: Blood Lad Add: Otaku Culture, Parody, Super Power Remove: N/A Detailed Reasoning: The series revolves around Staz who is an otaku vampire of the demon world that loves to do evident hobbies related to popular culture within the otaku community including playing games and reading manga as well as his interest in anime, hence all of which are common in otaku culture anime making it essential to classify it in the genre. Blood Lad has a central focus on satire and parodies various other anime’s such as DBZ (Dragon Ball Z) as it utilizes manga industries of the latter franchise, and overall many of the satirical content found in the former is related to DBZ (Dragon Ball Z). Additionally, the series features characters including Staz who posses demon powers and other abilities, some of whom are definitely references found in DBZ (especially Kamehameha) that are used frequently during action-packed moments making the super power aspect a key component of Blood Lad overall. Link to entry: Gyakuten Saiban: Sono "Shinjitsu", Igi Ari! (Ace Attorney) Add: Adult Cast Remove: N/A Detailed Reasoning: Adding an adult cast theme would be appropriate for Gyakuten Saiban: Sono "Shinjitsu", Igi Ari! (Ace Attorney) because literally almost of the characters whom are lawyers including the main protagonist, Phoenix Wright, are adults and older people. Link to entry: Speed Grapher Add: Drama, Sci-Fi, Suspense Remove: N/A Detailed Reasoning: Speed Grapher warrants the classification of a drama anime because it has a focus on complex relationships, mature themes, struggles, depth, humanity, and elements of the psychological thriller genre, all of which play a significant role in the series that create a emotional or compelling sense to the story. The sci-fi genre is appropriate for Speed Grapher due to the presence of genetic modifications, technology, and a premise of a photographer who has a supernatural ability to deal with anything by using his camera, are key factors of the show. Finally, including a suspense genre is justified for Speed Grapher as it relates to complexity and tension as well as action-packed scenes plus a psychological theme (common for most suspense anime) being listed makes it fitting within the genre. Link to entry: Mnemosyne: Mnemosyne no Musume (Rin: Daughters of Mnemosyne) Add: Drama, Mystery, Suspense, Adult Cast, Detective, Psychological Remove: Detailed Reasoning: Let me put the explanation of these 3 pars altogether: Firstly, Drama and Adult Cast: Mnemosyne: Mnemosyne no Musume (Rin: Daughters of Mnemosyne) has a significant focus on psychological drama and dark themes that include complexity, sexism, trauma, morality, life, death, paste, and mental states of the characters. Additionally, the series features many characters who are mature in their appearances and sense. Therefore, Mnemosyne: Mnemosyne no Musume (Rin: Daughters of Mnemosyne) is appropriate to classify as a drama and adult cast anime. Secondly, Mystery and Detective: The protagonist, Rin Asogi, is a private immortal detective who investigates complex cases and uncover secrets by using her ability to navigate through requirements in her detective work which are key aspects to the plot. Finally, Suspense and Psychological: Mnemosyne: Mnemosyne no Musume (Rin: Daughters of Mnemosyne) can be categorized as a psychological-thriller anime due to it’s prominence of non-consensual relations (I mentioned a multitude amounts of such earlier) and emphasis on twists, intensity, and tension, all of are hence characteristics common in the genre. Overall, these categorizations for Mnemosyne: Mnemosyne no Musume (Rin: Daughters of Mnemosyne) are subtle, and a description is that the show is an gory adult sci-fi supernatural-horror action-drama mystery-detective psychological-thriller anime. |

Each segment features a parody or reference to a particular series or genre, for example RPGs, Noir films, etc. Link to entry: https://myanimelist.net/anime/5597/Natsu_no_Arashi and https://myanimelist.net/anime/6712/Natsu_no_Arashi_Akinaichuu Add: Workplace Detailed Reasoning: All of the main characters and some of the secondary cast are employed and working at a café, where basically all the story takes place. |
