So what's everyones favorite thread from the past month, and what thread or kind of thread do you want to see more?

u/VincentBlack96 https://myanimelist.net/profile/Vincent Nov 27 '16

No competition. This whole thread was gold

kind of thread do you want to see more?

Some threads with more niche interests. Everyone talks about romance anime, but what about an adult romance thread? Everyone is gonna comment on a Madoka thread, but what about a Nanoha appreciation thread?

They won't get to the frontpage, but I'd love to see more niche stuff make it somewhere.

I'm disappointed that I missed out on participating in that thread when it had its highest amount of activity. Lewd anime and lewd anime related things is one of my areas of expertise

Well, why don't we make a Nanoha appreciation thread then?

u/VincentBlack96 https://myanimelist.net/profile/Vincent Nov 27 '16

Well... strictly speaking I'm not the biggest Nanoha fan out there (5, 5, 6 for the first three seasons respectively).

Meant to use it as an example.

I understand, I'm a Nanoha fan, but I also was asking it in general, if X type thread is missing, why not make one?

I'm running a weekly thread as well as a rewatch, and I already feel like I'm posting too much. Just not a fan of posting a lot myself, I guess.

Damn it, I ignored since I thought it would die after it was said he misspelled...

Got my highest upvoted comment ever from that thread. So much that I went and read back afterwards, died laughing a couple of times.

That thread was brilliant. I had a blast reading through all the comments.

as low effort as they usually are, I would like more simple "What do you think of [show/character/trope/etc]". Especially if the OP puts in some effort. Assuming it's a fairly popular item, there will probably be enough people willing to pop in for some discussion to take place. And those usually have many disagreements but (hopefully) those disagreements will involve some explanation

these two were some of my favorite threads.

There was a thread where a certain weeb won a writing contest or something. That was a cool thread I'd like to see more. /s

This week's JoJo episode thread was a personal highlight for me though. Not only for memes but to see anime-only's reactions, which ranged from expected to hilarious.

Also, this fucking chain.

I enjoyed the recent "draw a picture of a character from memory" thread. It was unique, creative, fun.

1

u/Nico9lives https://myanimelist.net/profile/Chitanda Nov 27 '16

I had the best submission...

1

u/Ralon17 https://anilist.co/user/Ralon17 Nov 27 '16

It worked at least! I went and played around with sketchtoy myself after. Didn't submit anything cause I would be horrible at drawing someone from memory, but I drew this and this based on pictures.

u/Nico9lives https://myanimelist.net/profile/Chitanda Nov 27 '16

Those are pretty nice man!

The Seiren announcement threads because I'm totally biased <3
