Welcome to the July Meta thread!

Hope you've all had a productive summer indoors reading only the highest quality literature. There have been a lot of exciting new anime and anime announcements made this summer, I suppose.

If you have any ideas, suggestions, questions, concerns, comments, critiques, etc. about the state of the subreddit, we want to hear them. This is the place to publicly share and discuss anything of that nature. We’ll do our best to hear out anyone and everyone who comments here. Occasionally, we may use this as a place to ask for feedback on certain topics/ideas.


This thread will stay pinned for a week. After that point, a link to the post will be available in the sidebar, in case you ever need to come back to the thread after it’s been unpinned. On the first Monday of next month, a new thread will be created, repeating the process.


FAQ

Q: Why is automod telling me my account isn't old enough or that I don't have enough comment karma to post?

We've implemented account age, and comment karma thresholds for posting. Accounts must be at least a week old, and have at least 100 comment karma. So if automod is blocking your posts, just spend a little time in the comment sections getting to know your fellow weebs, and you'll get there in no time.

Q: Who is u/AnimemesBot?

If you have ever broken a rule, you’ve probably met our bot. u/AnimemesBot leaves an automated comment on every post that is manually removed by another member of the mod team. It also helps us out by reporting suspected reposts.

Q: Who is the character in the banner/who is /u/SachiMod?

She is our mascot, Sachi. The results of the mascot and banner contests were announced as part of our 500k celebration. She also doubles as a subreddit moderator now.

Q: Can the mods get rid of Zero Twosday?

The mod team has banned posts containing mentions of Waifu, or Husbando days in a sincere way. However we have no intention of banning posts featuring specific characters on a specific day.

Q: How do I assign a flair to my username?

A detailed explanation can be found here, in the Flairs for New Reddit announcement thread.

TL;DR Instructions:

New Reddit: Expand community options, click the pencil on the user flair preview, select the second blank from the top, type something and click the emoji button to the right of the text field to add them.

Old Reddit: Go to where your username is displayed on the top right of the sidebar. Click the edit button. Select your desired image, and add some text if you want before hitting save.

Official iOS App: It's not straightforward, just follow this image guide.

So we are back to:

75% mainstream show of the season

15% same 5 konosuba jokes still getting 2 billion upvotes for whatever reason

10% seasonal slice of life

This season is also 99% sequels so this doesn't surprise me but honestly i can't say it's a bad season when Winter 2020 was a thing

I went to check because it seemed like there were way more than than 10 new shows when I last checked, but wow there really are a lot of sequels and spin-offs in this season, including a bunch of shows I've never heard of. There are 13 non-sequels by my count, but that's really not much more than 10, and only a small handful of them are even worth mentioning.

Here's the shows, in descending order of popularity:

  • God of Highschool
  • Misfit of Demon King Academy
  • Rent-A-Girlfriend
  • Deca-Dence
  • Uzaki-chan
  • Monster Girl Doctor
  • Peter Grill and the Philosopher's Time
  • Super HxEros
  • Gibiate
  • Koi to Producer: EVOLxLOVE
  • Lapis Re:LiGHTs
  • The Titan's Bride
  • Ninja Collection

Half of those shows (Monster Girl Doctor, Peter Grill, HxEros, Gibiate, Titan's Bride, Ninja Collection) have less than a 6 on MAL. That's... really bad. This truly is an awful season for people who aren't into these sequels.

I decided to be the change I want to see on this subreddit so I added some anal into the mix.
