chirale

I gotta go, bye!

@MadaraUchiha bye!

the style of that work is something that can be wrongly associated to younger demographics, but the series target seinen and then the publisher in the US have to stop publishing it.

I should cite the case of Narutaru, anyone of you knows this title?

@Mysticial ciao

@LoganM @Krazer right: irrelevant and ambiguous

so the very question is: should we allow ambiguous tags?

@MadaraUchiha someone tells it's a genre or a "style", someone it's a demographic (I agree with the latter)

@LoganM we are not agreeing about shonen as a genre: the problem with this tag is ambiguous, lolicon is not

I'm pretty sure we have to avoid almost all those categories as tags

@LoganM yes, in this way: Action, Adventure, Comedy, Drama, Fantasy, Shounen, Super Power

@LoganM you're talking about anime taxonomy?

more generally I'm concerned about how we describe demographics as genres

and then shonen?

@LoganM keep imo

yes, sadly, it's paradoxical

@Krazer then the problem is that we are almost all enthusiasts and not in the industry: we should attract a professional audience as well

@LoganM right, but these questions can attract more per-question visit. They haven't to be a lot.

@Krazer something like this as an answer (shorter): animenewsnetwork.com/feature/2012-03-05

@Krazer something at the level of some specials on AnimeNewsNetwork

@Krazer about industry and cultural aspects of anime and manga, something you cannot find in forums without browsing thousands of threads

@Mysticial personally, I'm not very active here because most of the question are in-universe

@Mysticial we should avoid preemptive optimization as hell, you're right

@Mysticial which one?

I don't think that genre tags will be a good idea, especially in the shonen / shojo cases

so the tag can be useful as a tag regarding more generally pornography

in the lolicon case one can be avoid to read a question on that topic for his/her own reason

@Krazer they usually take the name from the demographic of the magazine that collect them

@JNat shounen and jousei are demographics, lolicon is different

@Krazer be specific

@Krazer thank you, I think this is the right approach @JNat I remember that one about cosplay but I have to search for it

@Krazer and it's the big problem here imo

@Krazer those tend to be closed as off topic

@LoganM Questions that seems to attract more views and are more interesting to me are not in-universe but those about industry and cultural aspects.

Before closing the topic: should I create the MAL club and invite someone of people here if registered on MAL?

@Mysticial I've opened a club on MAL called "~*Insignificant classmates & background characters*~ (IS~BG)". After I created it, some of the admin add some pieces to be longer.

plus, if we put "unofficial" in the title we can make the club looking more underground :P

@Eric thank you

Then we cannot make the club. Case closed.

Then SE?

something like "Anime & Manga @ StackExchange" should be plain but effective imoh

@JNat thirding

@Deidara-senpai it has more people and more minds at work. We should get more too.

@LoganM it will be a sort of targeted advertisement, someone can be interested there @Eric we should avoid it, since it will seems to bypass forum section on MAL I think.

@JNat but don't take me wrong, I like this site but it's too small as now, so I miss the fresh energy you can feel on StackOverflow

@JNat here

@MadaraUchiha I'm actually concerned about the quality of the questions and the politeness of the community more than visibility.

@LoganM that's right. We should identify some SE users active on MAL and then create the club with a bunch of admin from SE initially.

@JNat you can choose between some options, all, only members and if I remember well only admin.
