In the history of animesuki nobody has ever created a thread asking for "melodrama" in the suggestion section.

People in the anime fandom just don't go asking "So,what good melodrama has aired lately",I really wish they did though.That's where Triple_R is coming from.

I've just now stated asking myself this,"drama" has always been a very broad term and continues to be one in other mediums besides anime today,so why should anime be any different?As an example here's the list of golden globe nominees for drama you'll see that the amount of "drama" in them varies greatly.
