Add possibility to issue a CReq for genre [tracked]

Well I just found out sb. added the genre 'Kids' (in which I would assume Ghibli-like films) to Saikano

, which is an anime I would not recommend for minors, as it is quite cruel (but very well made).
Right now I did a normal CReq as I found some grammatical mistakes in the description and added the genre thing in the comments box.

But I think it would be nice, to be able to issue CReqs for genre, too.

Might just as well clarify the category in the first place... Category "For Kids" for animes that are geared towards minors, "Kids" for animes that are about children - however, the latter probably doesn't make much sense since it'd contain the majority of all anime, no?

Right, i think it should be renamed to for kids (no need to have a genre, which states, if kids are part of the action, as this would cover allmost all anime).

I always thought that 'kids' was referring to elementary school ( < 10 year old kids) and there aren`t that many protagonists which are that young. So for me the 'kids' genre does say something

I agree that we could add a small description for them somewhere to indicate when to use them. Then again, peoples opinions still differ. Some people rated Kiddy Grade as ecchi, while I don`t feel any ecchiness coming from that series at all. The fact that they`re slutty dressed doesn`t really make me feel that the series is ecchi, just that they`ve bad character designs

<joking> How 'bout a voting system for the genres?

The results would be displayed as percentages, i.e. "action (70%), romance (68%)" and so on. But who knows, maybe Pokemon would end up being rated hentai - after all, it IS totally perverted.
