Being normal isn't an achievement.

Interesting!!! If my mean score was below a 5 I wouldn't be watching any more anime. If it was over 8.5 I would be over-rating everything. Over-rating is the problem I see on MAL. Besides, it isn't the user who is average, it's the anime. If the producers of anime in Japan would go back to well developed stories with great plots and characters the ratings would go up. So, it's the anime that is "average".

You may be right, but giving a badge for being in the majority, without doing anything specific besides rating like a sane person, doesn't feel right. Achievements are meant to highlight specific areas, something that deserves mention. Having an average score close to global average isn't worth mentioning, because it's expected.

I'd have to agree with you on that point. It isn't MALGraph or MAL's fault that many over-rate titles. The real problem, as stated earlier, is the product. Besides, there seem to be more than enough Achievement Awards now. LOL.

For me, I search the files of many sites looking for good titles. There is a ton of great anime out there, but much is so called "Old School" and many of the younger viewers don't like the old artwork. I'll admit that today's modern artwork is very attractive....it's just the stories aren't!

I haven't seen these achievements in my list earlier, so they must be new ones:
1) Stalker (romance: level 1);
2) Unrequited love (romance: level 2);
3) Sparkles and bubbles (romance: level 3);
4) Heart full of love (romance: level MAX)
5) Completionist (condition: do not drop any anime).

Not sure if this is the right thread for this but...

I second that, if we can make suggestions! Horror anime and horror manga.

Some titles that come to mind are the whole Higurashi franchise, Another and Gyo.


The majority of the works of Junji Ito (like Uzumaki) should work as well.

EDIT: Now that I think about it - some creator-based achievements could work really well as well. Here are a few ideas.

"Mind-screw Ending" - Watched most of the works of GAINAX and it's founders (so we could spread this out to Hideaki Anno's post GAINAX work, along with Studio Trigger's stuff).
"This achievement was Hitsuzen" - Watched or read most or all of the works of CLAMP. (This can be an manga achievement in addition to an anime achievement).
"Gotta Kill 'em all!" - Watched most/all of the works of Yoshiyuki Tomino.
"Basset-hound lover" - Watched most/all of the works of Mamoru Oshii.

Please, no. I was suggesting it for manga only. The anime you mentioned, besides Gyo, is hardly Horror. There are seriously under 10 actual Horror anime. It's a genre that hasn't really been explored that well in anime, but in manga, it thrives.

LOL! So true. I actually laughed a lot with most of these, but they are all we got in anime.

It's cool if you guys don't wanna add it as an achievement, even I found the Gyo manga to be scarier than the anime adaptation (yet it was still funny).

Anyway, is it to my understanding that is better to send suggestion in that Google space linked recently?

Okay, so how about an Anime Comedy Achievement? There are more than enough anime comedy titles to make that possible.

Genres such as Adventure, Action, Super Power, Fantasy could have their own achievements with increased requirements. You guys made it so that to get a Mahou Shoujo Achi you only need 15 instead of 25, for those genres it could cost 50 instead of 25. Maybe even more.

For underhanded genres, there could be a single achievement like Long Runner. Nobody will run after several long series just to get an achievement of a genre they don't even like. If they do: They must be liking it after so much time invested.

Yes, I'll have to third that too. Maybe it's because of the way things are tagged: for me romance is happy and/or with a sentimental/idealized quality. So when I saw School Days/Elfen Lied under this achievement I was surprised. Of course the idea of a romance achievement is very good in itself. But an achievement that lists every lovestory seems kind of pointless. In my opinion an achievement should be hard to obtain: I'm already romance lvl 3 and I didn't break sweat, and I'm not even Mechazawa yet (the one I was aiming for). Thank you in advance for fixing this.

I suggest changing threshold for both anime and manga to 40 - 70 - 100 - 150. That's an increase from 25 - 40 - 60 - 100 for anime and 15 - 30 - 50 - 80 for manga. The other way of fixing this would be changing genres of hundreds of titles (Haruhi, Genius Party, ...) that feature some romance plot threads, but we don't have any means to do that.

What do you think? It would decrease your level for this badge, but it really needs some changes to reflect the reality.

40/70/100/150 looks good for a change in thresholds. It remains obtainable while better reflecting the sheer size of the genre in terms of how many titles have its tag (whether legitimately or otherwise; I would argue that both School Days and Elfen Lied deserve the tag given the romance plot's importance, but there are surely many titles out there where it's a bit more of an aside presence, and therefore don't really need the Romance tag).

I prefer higher thresholds, it's easier to do and we don't need to worry about which show really features love and those that don't. Specially, since a lot of the time it's more a matter of opinions.

Yep, we'll add some that were suggested.

> 2. Having an achievement for watching a certain amount of anime categorized by type (Ex: TV, OVA, etc...)

I'm not sure about this, will consider.

> 3. Having an achievement for watching a certain amount of older anime series.
> 4. Having an achievement for watching a certain amount of newer anime series.

Older - yes (we were thinking pre-1990), newer - nope.

> 5. Having an achievement for a certain amount of episodes watched.
> 6. Having an achievement for amount of time invested in watching anime.

We already have number of titles completed. I know it's not the same, but it's close enough.

> 7. Having an achievement for not having any anime on hold.

This doesn't have enough... uh, power?... to it. We'll stay with "no drop" for the status-related ones.

> 8. Having an achievement for watching a certain amount of Incest anime.

I personally don't want to award anyone for doing that.

I feel the threshold should be decided for each achievement individually rather than implementing one overall threshold for all achievements. While some For example is there 150 titles for the anime versions of the GAR and Mahou Shoujo achievements to justify the increase to 150?

Also I see there's an achievements for watching at least ten 150+ episode series. That's probably another achievement that could have a threshold.

This increase probably is only for romance related anime. It need an increase because it is easiest obtainable achievement (after Chinese cartoons that is).
I don't think that it would be wise to increase threshold for GAR or Mahou Shoujo because it's pretty rare genre and isn't very common.
And adding thresholds to 150+ ep anime isn't very smart because of same reason as GAR and MS (there are only 63 such anime as stated in achievement description) also it's one of the hardest achievement as it requires to watch at least 1500 episodes ((and most of them are far more than just 150eps) well maybe not).
Well that just mine opinion so please don't kill me if you don't like it. :D
By the way does this achievement applies to anime that is still airing (like One Piece, Naruto: Shippuuden, Detective Connan etc.) ? According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_anime_series_by_episode_count Wikipedia page there are 77 such anime minus 10 that are airing equals 67 so i guess airing anime aren't accounted.

How about an achievement for anime/manga classics & milestones?
Series that would fit into that achievement category would be the first installments of legendary franchises (Gundam '79, Mazinger Z, Sailor Moon, original Dragonball) as well as series that marked significant changes in the industry (Ashita No Joe, Totoro, NGE, etc.). This would encourage people to expand their horizons and inform themselves a bit more the history of their favourite medium.
