The 3 that come to mind for me are Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz and The Princess Bride. All three are poking fun at their respective genres but also are great examples of the genre. I’m curious if Lemmy has other such examples.

    Have you even seen what people write on anilist, MAL, etc.? Hell, even just social media in general. I don’t trust the general polulace to understand nuanced differences like that

      But, are tags crowdsourced? I believe only reviews and ratings are crowdsourced. Everything else is managed by the Anilist team, right?

      I checked right now, but I can’t really see an option to change the tags on a particular show… I checked on my smartphone via browser, so I might be wrong. Will check from my laptop in a bit.

      Also, where did you get the information that it isn’t a parody, if not from these sites?

      Crunchyroll doesn’t list it as a Parody, so you might be right. But they also don’t have Parody as a genre, so that doesn’t really hold any value.

      Note: I’m having a genuine discussion. I don’t want this to seem like a debate or an argument. It’s just me and commenter OP having a normal conversation in a regular tone.
