pool #1718 said: Characters from live television shows, movies, cartoons, or videogames being drawn in a style separate from the original style of the source art and being drawn more based on an anime-like style. See also "easternization".
Considering that Danbooru deals with high-quality anime-related art, this pool seems like it's stating the obvious.
Credeck said (1 year ago) : Animifying is for fanart of things that aren't in an anime style to begin with.
these points were brought up in the pointless pools a year ago and may require further discussion that warrants a separate thread.
imho, the posts don't have a unifying theme other than a style of looking like an anime as the description says. i tend to believe that the posts are not pool material.
however, if we are taking into consideration about the "style" then this might fall into style parody or maybe pastiche as suggested in forum #68857.
and instead of a pool, i think it's better if the posts fall under a tag: animified, a new one or existing tag or anything more appropriate.
the future tag could then be listed under tag group:image composition and the old request in the pointless pools thread can be brought up again.
The non-obvious part is the "characters from live television shows, movies, cartoons, or videogames" on an anime site.
This is information about the copyright tags, which would make it a candidate for a tag group. However, a tag group for non-anime copyrights couldn't directly replace this pool, because not all images tagged with such copyrights fit the pool definition. For example, in the star_wars tag many of the images are parodies or cosplay.
The focus of the pool is "characters from non-anime copyrights" rather than on the "anime-like style". The anime-like style can be assumed. A tag for "characters from non-anime copyrights" does not seem like it belongs in tag group:image composition.
i forgot to paste an important comment mentioned before:
jxh2154 said (1 year ago) : The Animifying pool was brought up about two weeks ago and I felt it was a reasonable pool then. Now whether it's a tag or a pool is another matter, but either way. It's not a bad idea to have them all together under one header. You'd have to have a particular character in mind otherwise, and odds are you wouldn't think to search a non-anime character like that in the first place. But stumble upon this pool once, and you'll probably end up checking out similar.
Since it's "somewhat uncommon but not incredibly rare" it seems like a decent pool.
that said, it's fine for me if this pool stays though i'm personally inclined a tag is a better option and the pool be gone (or at least i think there's some idea worth tagging).
and even if we stumbled upon one post from that pool, we can still look for similar posts if they share a similar tag (e.g. animified/animifying/animification). the result is still the same for a tag nevertheless because a sequential order is not necessary.

yes, that's correct. a simple copyright tag where the characters are from isn't enough. that's why i'm considering a separate tag might be more appropriate if our current tags are not enough to cover all of them in such cases.

yes, that's quite correct but the description explicitly states "Characters...being drawn in a style separate from the original style...and being drawn more based on an anime-like style". i would interpret this that characters of certain non-anime copyrights are drawn in a particular way. then this particular way (or tag) they are drawn can fall under the style or techniques in the tag group:image compostion. it's not exactly a thorough replacement but something i consider a taggable concept.
and i wonder about the "See also easternization" in the description. what exactly does that mean? there's no wiki, no link, and there's no record that we used a easternization tag like that before. is it different from animifying?
