The animation/comics/etc. category seems pretty limited, or perhaps overly specific. DC, Marvel, manga, manwha, webcomics, and bandes dessinées are hardly the only types of comics. What about newspaper comics? American comic books that aren't from the two major publishers? Or comics that aren't from the US, Japan, Korea, France, or Belgium?
For instance, I don't think I would call Scrooge McDuck, or, say, Archie Comics, bandes dessinées.
(Also, like the first commenter, I'm not sure where non-Japanese TV cartoons go?)
(EDIT: Wait, no, sorry, I think I get it now. So stuff that isn't one of those specific subsets would just go under Animation/Comics/etc., and wouldn't be in a subcategory. Okay, I guess that makes sense. In order to find Scrooge and Archie, I could filter on "Animation/etc. + no subcategory + United States".
Since I'm not the only one who jumped to this conclusion, maybe making "Other" an actual subcategory so that everything is on the same hierarchy level would be more intuitive? For this specific category, it would probably make sense to split it into "Other Comics" and "Other Animation"... I dunno. I no longer have any strong feelings about this news. ^^; )
Currently all of those fandoms would in fact go directly under the top level Animation, Comics, Manga & Other Sequential Art category. We’re open to the idea of creating more subcategories and thank you for your feedback on potential names.
