Coming of Age/Supernatural/Tragedy Titles

#
Coming of Age: (Story/Location) A story in which the main character is confronted with issues related to their transition from adolescence (innocence) to adulthood (responsibility). Most typically found in a modern romance story in which the main character has to confront his/her feelings over their (first) love and/or deciding about the path in life (setting goals, attending college, getting a job etc.).

Supernatural: (Story/Location) Titles of this category are relating to an order of existence beyond the visible observable universe (especially God, or a god, demigod, spirit or devil), departing from what is usual or normal (especially so as to appear to transcend the laws of nature or attributed to an invisible agent, like a ghost or spirit). Contains subcategories of more specific types: "Angels", "Deities", "Shinigami", and "Vampires".

Tragedy: (Genre) Animes of this type have tragic events as an important part of the story, and usually will show how the characters are dealing with the consequences of that tragedy (more or less successfully). This doesn't necessarily mean the story cannot have a happy ending as the tragedy might occur during the first episodes of even before story begins; as such this category information need not be a spoiler (unless the tragedy were to be a surprise for the audience in a mystery-style show).
