Anime is hand-drawn and computer animation originating from Japan.

Anime; the one thing that gets us closer to each other and brings us together.

I know anime has legitimately taken over the world now, but this seems to be the next series I am curious about after withdrawing from anime and manga due to being the current trends.

What do you guys think?

We have gotten three reports on this post so far:

  • pedo
  • ???
  • gross

Would you consider closing this community?
a) There are no active mods
b) No one is willing to moderate
c) Majority of active discussion is on the other instance
d) Dessalines doesn't understand the anime genre and it's quirks
e) Power users don't feel welcome on lemmy.ml
f) There would be less of community fragmentation and less workload for you

What is the other instance buddy?

People aren't linking it directly because admins have a history of removing any comments/posts that provide a link. However, you can see it if you go to a community browser like Lemmy Explorer.

I understand. Never heard of Lemmy explorer, will have to go down the rabbit hole!

I don't think its a good idea to close it. This is still a decently active community, and hopefully someone will step up to help moderate it, while removing all the lolicon the other server is happy to host.

your own admin told me that if its on youtube then its okay, why are you removing things posted from youtube if it should be "okay"? why are you contradicting each other?

i dont think you realize how much """lolicon""" there is in this community that you are completely unaware of just because there's no picture. have you seen nagataro-san (this post)? do you even know what the series is about?

[–] ludrol@bookwormstory.social 2 points 8 months ago

It seems active on the surface, but as you added recently votes that count towards activity, the majority of activity is just that. Empty votes. The number of comments per week is at least a magnitude greater on The Other instance than on this one.

hopefully someone will step up to help moderate it

No, No one will. No one wants to guess what you will judge as "lolicon" and walk on eggshells and be outed like previous mod.

This community will give you headaches again and again, and we both don't want that. I want for you to focus on important work and not chase stupid Japanese cartoons that depict children.

This community served it's purpose before reddit exodus and now it should be killed as times have changed.

It seems that more care is needed with the reports here, another post was taken down some days ago about SAO gun gale II (another PG13 anime).

[–] RealM@kbin.social 8 points 8 months ago

Entirely depends on what you're looking for in an anime and manga. It's full of hornybait and fanservice, but also does manage to tell a romantic high school story about how you shouldn't judge a book by it's cover and how you gotta keep striving to be your best self while also staying true to your feelings.

It's genuinely wholesome, but also targeted more towards guys. If you're put off by that description, avoid it. If it sounds like your cup of tea, go for it.

Unless you want fanservice, I'd recommend Tomo-chan is a Girl instead. Somewhat similar idea, but it focuses more on Tomo and Jun (the main characters) figuring out what they want their relationship to be, after being friends since childhood. Tomo is possibly the cutest Tomboy in anime.

I liked it. It's a high school romance comedy about a shy artistic sophomore boy who gets teased by an outgoing athletic freshman girl and her friends (and they not so secretly like each other). If that sounds like your thing then go for it.
