I use tags mostly like pools. I basically include anime that I think fit to the genre/theme. I use the resulting lists to rate and compare anime with other similar anime.
- comedy : Comedy anime. I try to only include comedy focused anime, but it's hard to do, since there are many anime with comedic undertones, and that makes it hard distinguishing what should be and what shouldn't be tagged as a comedy.
- drama : Drama anime. Now this one is a hard one. Many anime have drama, and one could say that most drama anime have their main focus elsewhere(different to how comedies are.), so selecting which ones should be at this tag is pretty hard.
- romance : Romance anime. this includes all anime that I believe have a good amount of focus on romance. I've tried to exclude most stuff I think isn't really romance, by using the romantic tag but they are still kinda mixed up there so I've split this tag into a few others. Shoujo at shoujo romance, the more shoneny-comedy focused stuff are over at rom-com, and you'll find harems kinda mix up with the rom coms, but I've tried to have them separately. yaoi and yuri also have their separate tags, but they sometimes end up on rom-com.
- shoujo romance : also includes josei stuff. They don't seem different enough to me to warrant another tag.
- rom com: Romantic comedy anime. There are many anime that have romance and comedy, but not all of them fit my image of a rom-com. Just having a comedic undertone doesn't cut it. They have to be somewhat light-hearted, with a great deal of comedy, but I'm not too strict on the romance; just having romantic elements is enough sometimes. There are anime that might fit the description above but are not included in that pool that is mostly because they feel more like something else than like a rom-com. For example, harems, drama, or really story driven anime.
- harem : as the word suggests, one guy, lot's of girls
Since there are numerous anime that have romantic themes, I've sorted them into multiple categories based on the top 3 elements.
The subcategories are:
Romance
[quote] RCH - Rom Com Harem EH - Ecchi Harem HFH - High Fantasy Harem HFSH - High Fantasy Shounen Harem LFH - Low Fantasy Harem LFH1 - Low Fantasy Harem 1 LFSH Low Fantasy Shounen Harem RCD -Rom Com Drama VND - Visual Novel Drama MACH - Martial Arts Comedy Harem SYD - Supernatural Youth Drama
RYD - Romantic Youth "Drama". Somone falls in love, there are tears, there is usually a major element in the story where the main character/s focuses apart from love. The setting is not a school, though some scenes may be set in one. Most of the time they are also comedic.
RYCD - romantic school Youth comedy-Drama YDM - Youth Drama Movie sports TCS - Themed Competitive Shounen TC technical school SRC - Shoujo rom com yokai - [url=][/url] [url=][/url] [url=][/url]
HFA -High fantasy adventure TCS - Themed Competitive shounen WAS - Westernized Action seinen LFS - Low Fantasy Shounen Femsports - Female Sport/game Anime
GGTW -girls go to work
SSCGSCT- short series..
HSC harem sitcom
- bro com : Bromantic comedy anime. Mostly, comedy-focused anime that revolve around the friendship of guys. The opposite of this is CGDCT.
- CGDCT : Cute Girls Doing Cute Things. Cast of almost all girls, or stuff that has mixed genders but the cute factor warrants the tag. Usually accompanied by sol.
- short series : They are usually multiple episode series with short duration episodes. However, i also add 1 episode adaptions of manga/LN/games etc, since they don't really fit in in short movies or shorts in general.
Gunfights: Anime with lots of gunfights. Guns: Guns are a gimmick. Commercials: CMs that were worth watching. [url=][/url] [url=][/url] [url=][/url] [url=][/url]
Yeah MiA really reinvigorated my enthusiasm for anime by showing me that new, amazing shows can still happen. Even if 9 out of the top 10 from this year are sequels to me, at least #1 is something new ^^.
And yeah just hit me up, I'm usually around most of the afternoon and evening. I'll probably go out later tonight but that's more of an exception :>.
Have you watched Made in Abyss yet? My anime of the year probably :>
And yeah if you're free again more frequently now we can definitely hang out again, I'm still in Skype and in the ATOTD club if you want to chat or just shitpost ^^. And let me know if you want to simulwatch something again at some point. I've been watching a lot of OVAs and stuff again recently with my simulwatch partner and we often watch around this time (we're simulwatching right now actually) so if you want we'd be happy if you joined us for the odd movie or OVA.
Hey, great to hear from you again!
I'm doing fine, the same as usual pretty much. Still simulwatching a lot and generally watching anime and stuff ^^.
How have you been?
There's a lot of stuff going on, but it's mostly job and family related. There's a good possibility I could be relocating elsewhere depending on how things develop, but the core thing is whether I'll be helping manage a (currently) small international corporation or going a different route. I'm excited either way since no matter how it ends up things are going to be changing a lot for me.
I've been slowly teaching myself Spanish on the side for awhile now, but that's kinda tangential to what's going on at the moment.
I've been doing quite well. I'm in a transition period for some pretty big life changes-- stuff that could determine how the next several years go for me. At this point it's more waiting to see what some other people will do before moving forward though, so I have ample free time for now. I took a break from MAL and anime for a couple months around the end of last year though.
Exciting times. I'm glad to hear you're doing well, and I hope you get your scholarship.
Oh I see. Well, if it works for you. I couldn't do it. With Ass Class in particular the second season got a 9 from me and the first one a 7 and I'd rather have it like that than average it out to an 8 for the franchise.
And that sucks but I'll probably still be here later on since I'm feeling a bit sick and will probably rest at home for most of the day.
