With Last Exile added last year, FruaBa and Noir are my top addition. Though Noir aged pretty terribly, it was pretty stunning when it came out. | ||

To that end, Katanagatari isn't as much a fantasy as it is action/adventure. | ||

Edit: Also huge yes for Ping Pong the Animation in Sports. Maybe Haikyuu! too. | ||

If anything it's an adventure genre anime, which isn't a genre on the chart Anyway i can actually understand not having katanagatari on the list even though i love the show. It's honestly not that great of an anime to recommend to people that are new to anime or just recently got into it. I mean, the list isn't meant to be "This is TLADTs favourite anime" after all. Anyone who frequents the thread is going to see people occasionally praise katanagatari anyway. | ||

It was also rather stupid and ages slightly better. | ||

The flaw is that the story is dumb and doesn't make a lick of sense On June 28 2015 06:24 Rebs wrote: Well Madlax was way more action. It was also rather stupid and ages slightly better. Madlax is better because it is literally Noir V2. It doesn't have nearly as much impact. Also I watched all of Madlax overnight stuck at ATL airport, don't think that helped... | ||

It actually fits Fantasy/sci-fi genre pretty well if you look what stories in those genre's typically are. Fantasy more than sci-fi as it has a heavy focus on destiny which is often a core focus of the genre. I guess it really depends on if you view a story like Star Wars as sci-fi instead of fantasy. | ||

Seirei no Moribito prolly doesn't belong under fantasy either, though I'm not sure what its "main" thing is. | ||

I consider star wars to be a space opera(a sub genre of sci-fi), for what it's worth. | ||

The only tag that fits it more is "coming of age" which is quite broad. On June 28 2015 06:31 Unleashing wrote: I consider star wars to be a space opera(a sub genre of sci-fi), for what it's worth. It has far more in common with typical fantasy than traditional sci-fi. There should be a sub genre of sci-fi for "fantasy with future tech" which would clear up most of the confusion. | ||

Fantasy Adventure yeah. Which is what you could qualify stuff like Magi or even Arsalan to a degree. Edit: And before the Genre speculation gets out of hand. Lets not forget that it is a very very big list as it is and for some one looking for recommendations its going to put their head in a spin anyway. But atleast its some direction and thats all you need. If Katanagatari or something someone likes isnt there I dont think your lives will be to adversely affected so its not really that big a deal. The rec list is not for you. Its for people looking for things to watch and not knowing how to go about it. | ||

Katanagatari for all intents and purposes is an action adventure. Anyone who classifies it as mainly fantasy is on some odd trip. Might as well call One Piece a fantasy. | ||
