Description
Filters animelists by genre. All anime entries without tags will be set to a comma separated list of genres to enable filtering. Warning: has functionality that permanently deletes all current tags when used.

How to use
Before filtering:
1. Click "Populate tags" and wait for all genres to be added to the tags. You will have to click "Show/hide tags" to see the tags/genres unless you changed "INIT_HIDE_TAGS" in the code to false. It is set to true by default because I rarely filter the anime, and all the genres take up a lot of space.

Filtering:
1. Make sure the genres are shown in the "Tags" column. If they aren't, click "Show/hide tags".
2. To filter by a genre (e.g. Fantasy), click it.
3. To add a genre to the filter (e.g. Fantasy + Adventure), click it.
4. To stop filtering, click "Clear filter".

Remove all tags:
1. Same procedure as "Before filtering", but click "Clear tags" instead. This will remove everything in the "Tags" column.

Please note that this script overwrites the Tags column in your anime list. Clicking "Populate tags" will replace all empty tags entries with their respective anime's genres. Clicking "Clear tags" and then "OK" when the warning shows up will clear all tags (well, technically it will clear all non-empty tags, resulting in all tags being empty).

TL;DR useful if you don't use the tags column anyway, or want to add all genres to anime you haven't added tags to yet.
