let this be true

there any many goods ones but most here is not that good or average.

After briefly talking to the guy who made it, it was made clear to me that this is just a subjective list of his personal favorites. He was pretty adamant about what he put on there because of his likes and dislikes despite how quality the shows are argued to be.

I’m trying to argue that OPM and Madoka Magica are both subversions of their respective genres (Shonen/ Mahou Shoujo).

You know there’s more than one way to make a subversion, right?

I think you don’t know what I mean by the “magic girls” genre- An anime in the magic girls genre has girls that can perform magic. Madoka Magica fits that to a T, it’s just that Madoka Magica is not purely a magic girl anime- it has elements of horror as well.

Just because Madoka is not a standard magical girl anime does not mean that it should not be classified as such.

You don’t get it.

Yeah, if you were to make a wiki of all anime that exist, the Madoka article on it would fit into a zillion categories: Magical Girls anime, Anime with a pink-haired girl protagonist, Anime with schoolgirls, etc…

However, while all these categories would technically be true, they’d be mostly irrelevant when looking at the bigger picture.

Better yet is the fact that we’re not talking about a wiki, but a recommendations list. Nobody in their right mind would recommend Madoka as a magical girls anime.

This argument doesn’t apply to One Punch Man because it’s more subtle as a subversion.

What does the average shonen have? Action, comedy, varying levels of fan service. OPM has all three. It’s slightly sadder than the average shonen, what with the main character being unable to find anything fulfilling in his life, but not to the point of being so depressing it’s a genuinely draining experience to watch. The entire reason why it’s so successful in the first place is because shonen fans can enjoy it.

Madoka on the other hand has a completely different tone and themes compared to a stereotypical magical girls anime. And again, the target audience was completely different.

W ha t in tarnation is all this aNIme shit son?

[TROLLDLLR]

My point is that Madoka fits into the “Magical girls” category.

Your argument is that because Madoka has a different tone and themes and target audience, it’s not a magical girls anime? Or are you trying to talk about something else?

My point is that Madoka can be classified as a magical girl anime.

[Reimu]

I think his point is more that it shouldn’t fit into the category on a recommendations list, considering Madoka’s target audience isn’t the same as most Magical Girls anime.

Like on the surface Madoka is a magical girl anime, but the show itself doesn’t have the same tone as other shows in that category are suppose to have. So it’s totally deceiving for it to be in a magical girl category on a recommendation list, because in actuality the show is the opposite of what the person would be looking for.

My point is that Madoka can be classified as a magical girl anime.

I could also argue that Madoka is a psychological horror show that uses elements of magical girls anime, not a magical girls anime in and of itself.

What I was originally trying to get across, on top of what @Reimu just said, is that categorization doesn’t really matter. To me it’s more interesting to talk about a show or a movie in its specificity rather than spend hours debating what genres it fits in.

Might be because it was made by the same people.
