 Anime Category Additions

this idea has been pitched before.

If you really wish such functions, please post your reviews, especially for anime that not so many people have reviewed yet. We need at least 40 reviews for each title.

Implementing such functions is not a big deal. But I don’t think the statics is useful.
As you can see, there are only 195 titles that satisfy the lower limit (40 reviews) currently now. If we divide them into pieces, we have only a few titles or none for minor genres.

Ah, I wasn't aware of that. I suppose that is why the top 200 only goes up to 195...

Well then, I wonder if there is a way to promote reviews and also boost knowledge of the titles that don't meet the minimum 40 review requirement? Correct me if I'm wrong, but there doesn't really seem like a good way to find these titles; at least, not that I've seen.

Why not try adding two additional lists, "Top up and coming anime" and "Unreviewed anime", and placing links to these under the "Top 200 anime" list?

For "Top up and coming anime" it could be a list of all anime titles with 1->40 reviews, possibly sortable by avg. rating and number of reviews? Once the anime reaches the 40 review mark, it's no longer eligible to be on the "up and coming" list, but is now eligible for the "top 200 list". This could help generate more reviews, since titles with only 1 review, say of all 10s, could jump to/near the top and be noticed quickly. This should in turn generate more reviews for that title.

And the "Unreviewed anime" would simply be a list of anime titles that have yet to be reviewed.

These are just some ideas to try and promote user reviews / newer titles, essentially giving the user base a broader range of anime titles to look through. Not that you can't already search for titles, but these are more geared towards finding anime you don't already know about / that are not already well reviewed.

Cheers.

what you really need to do is make it so anime match shows all the matching anime, not just the first 100. Then make it so you can organize the list by rank on the top 200 list, or by reverse alphabetical, or starting date, etc.

Ok, enough is enough. Animenfo really needs gender and age categories/filters added to the sight!

I am tired of having to filter through reviews that where obviously written by 12 year old kids. Not to mention seeing these same reviewers rate kiddie shows so high, while down rating more adult oriented shows. It is becoming more and more difficult to find anime that appeals to my age/gender bracket.

For example, Full Moon does not deserve to be ranked at #4 on the top 200 list. There is absolutely no reason why this should be ranked so high, other than it must have a lot of underage female fans. Now I'm not saying the show was bad, possibly worthy of a 7ish rating, but its current rating/standing is rediculous.

Please, make it easier for users to find and rank anime in their own age and gender brackets.
