I always say anime won't be truly mainstream until it's equally categorized this way with similar live action in the same genre. It's getting better, but it's still not there yet.

I mean seeing anime of each genre in with the genres of the services. Like action anime in the normal action drama and horror or romance in their genres instead of just listing it as it's own genre. It looks like it's getting more to that point than it use to be, but it still isn't listed that way.
