The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya (light novel)
| The 2009's season and the movie are tagged 'Romance' here on this site, why is that? I have just watched it all recently and I didn't really see a little bit of romance in there, honestly. The only moment I could call romantic would be the one in which Kyon kisses Haruhi and it's like 1 scene in whole series, and it's in the first season. What else is there, for real? I mean, you can't be serious about him wanting to see Mikuru in different outfits or stuff, and his feelings to Haruhi aren't really shown either. |

| Rewatch with your eyes open this time. Ther's a lot of romance going on. |
| Actually I came to this post because Haruhi ISN'T romance apparently? > Genres: Award Winning, Comedy, Mystery, Sci-Fi, Slice of Life I'm new. Who gets to decide? Is it a vote like in Wikipedia eg this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Fischer_random_chess#RFC_on_Views_of_grandmasters_section (Note: I'm thewriter006) ? So I guess in 2014 October Haruhi WAS classified as romance on MAL and then sometime in the past 7.5 years it changed? Or perhaps it's 1 of those 'Being told the Genre of a movie may be a Spoiler' things? eg lycoris recoil, madoka magica, kaguya-sama, the quintessential quintuplets, maou-sama, the queen's gambit, harley quinn, avatar the legend of korra? https://www.reddit.com/r/movies/comments/jxp6en/comment/in4m6c1 eg umineko? in the fandom page they have spoiler tags on some of the genre's https://07th-expansion.fandom.com/wiki/Umineko_When_They_Cry_(series) https://07th-expansion.fandom.com/wiki/Umineko_no_Naku_Koro_ni_Chiru Or idk maybe there is romance - as typical of many high school anime as pointed out by yuta aoki Why So Many High School Anime in Japan https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lB9gIv_TsPg - but not enough to for a genre? |

| Romance doesn't really deserve a "genre" tag here, but if you accounted for every tag it would be there, but MAL only counts the "top" tags. |
| If you reply back to me and I never respond, I lost interest and don't care. Sorry about that. |
LostSpectre said: Ah thanks so there's like a vote or something in MAL for the genre tags and then romance just isn't voted up enough and apparently in the last 7.5 it was voted down a lot? Also where is the voting then please?Romance doesn't really deserve a "genre" tag here, but if you accounted for every tag it would be there, but MAL only counts the "top" tags. |

Also where is the voting then please? ok thanks well it could be dictatorship based on votes anyway. like we vote but ultimately MAL decides. either way when you said 'top' I thought you meant there's a vote. on Wikipedia I'm pretty sure there isn't really a vote unless there's an issue of conflicting sources (are there often credible & unbiased sources that claim a work is NOT of a certain genre though?) so if it's just about sources then I can imagine MAL does the same as Wikipedia. that's actually i thought was the case. so what is it that you meant by 'top' then? is it also about sources? |

nicbentulan said: Sorry, I meant "top" as in the most important/relevant tags, ANIDB uses a 3 star "weighted" system for many tags, which is much more effective.
