Here are current recommended (but optional) tags for c/anime:
[DISC] or [Discussion] for general discussion/question posts
[WT!] Watch This! posts with a recommendation/review
[Clip] a video clip post
[News] for news and updates
[Spoiler] for discussions with spoilery content - indicate the series that is being spoiled
Here are the ones for c/manga:
[Discussion], [DISC] - chapter discussion threads
[Art] - Official art from a series or author, OC fan-art is also allowed
[News] - news updates about series, authors, publishers, etc.
[RT!] - Read This! posts are posts in which you recommend a series to others. Please provide a short review and information about the series as well.
IMO these guidelines could use some updates.
Here are my suggestions:
| anime |
manga |
rationale |
[Episode] |
[Chapter] |
Makes it clear the thread is about a newly-released episode / chapter |
[Clip] |
[Art] |
Keep as is; small snippet regarding the anime / manga |
[Recommendation] |
[Recommendation] |
For any posts asking for a recommendation, or posts that recommend an anime or manga; replaces WT! and RT!; see below for fine-grained alternatives |
[Community] |
[Community] |
For any posts that start a general discussion in the community (e.g. your favorite anime / manga); alternatively: [General] |
[Spoiler] |
[Spoiler] |
Keep as is |
[Meta] |
[Meta] |
For posts regarding the community itself; for posts like this |
If the proposed [Recommendation] has to be more fine-grained:
| anime |
manga |
rationale |
[Watch This!] |
[Read This!] |
Same as before; for posts recommending others to watch this anime / read this manga |
[Review] |
[Review] |
For reviews of an anime / manga |
[Recommendation] |
[Recommendation] |
For posts specifically asking for recommendations |
The [Discussion] tag was excluded because if you think about it, every post is a discussion thread.
This proposal applied to c/anime and c/manga because there is likely a significant overlap between these two communities; would be nice to keep them aligned.
The final set of tags doesn't have to follow this proposal exactly; thought this could make a good starting point.
What are your thoughts?
Even though the main characters are involved, these are among the most forgettable chapters to me.
I have seen the argument that one shouldn't expect much from it since Spy x Family is slice-of-slice, but guess what? It is possible to be a SoL while having development.
These two chapters - and this episode by extension - did nothing to advance the plot. To put it bluntly, this is filler that does nothing except to extend the runtime.
Unfortunately, this is why SxF has always been shy of 10/10 for me.
