I suppose we could just move the entire thing to Literature and make Anime.Haruhi Suzumiya as a redirect. Or vice versa.

Lets rename Literature to Western Literature so we don't need to wag the Tale Of Genji.

I agree with Mystic Eyes on this one, why don't we just have redirects on the Literature category to the Anime page. After all, the anime is the most accessible form of the series and the one that most people who know or want to know about the series will gravitate to. Besides, the page itself does not say specifically say "Anime and Manga" nor does it say "Literature" on it. Having redirects alleviates the issue of having to shoehorn the information into specific categories, which would otherwise make it more arduous to edit and redundant as well.

Or we could just combine "Anime and Manga" with "Light Novels" and (possibly) "Visual Novels" (MALVN anyone?) and save ourselves quite a bit of trouble of separating things by categories that are all included in and, for the most part, unique to the Japanese media (i.e. non-video game) idiom.

Adaptations are suppose to have their examples split, but only when there is a difference between the adaptations. This is why the spiderman movie trope aren't in with the comic books.

Bad comparison. The Spider-Man movies have an original story, while most adaptions of light novels and assorted stuff have the same story.

I don't really see a reason to change anything here. Technically, Anime is animation and Manga is comics, but they are under a separated topic, because there is just so damn much of it, and most of it are adaptions of each other. Anime and Manga exists because it is practical, not because they actually are a separated medium.

Actually what I'm referring to is Policy here for adaptations, just a policy that is generally ignored for some reason. If they are different enough, they are to be split.
