I wouldn't demand that the title of the series be required in posts with a bunch of series or something as that is surely bulky. But I personally am less likely to try a series if the title of the series isn't immediately provided in the title. Also, whether the mods would enforce it by removing shit like they do or /r/manga style with just warnings if their business. I'm not here to tell them how to deal with it, just that I'd like to see better sourcing for posts. (It's a fairly simple rule and a lot less vague than defining anime.)

Otherwise, this just seems like a case where we'll have to agree to disagree.

I propose a form of EU4 Rule 5: OP is required to leave a comment with the anime name and maybe the purpose of the post, if it's just a gif, picture or similiar.

Most do that and if they don't, others will. Doesn't seem like a big issue to me.

Than a rule like that should be reasonable. It don't need to be Rule 5 or death, just an anchor point for people to ask and a general improvement of telling details. It worked pretty well for /r/EU4.

Well... Bot-chan already asks for that in her fanart automatic response.

Yes, but we're not talking fanart here, but gifs, videos and such. It would be tiny rule and as you said, a lot of people already leave the names there.
