Welcome to the Anime-Planet Claiming Society!
How it works
----------------------------------
You can ‘claim’ up to three of the following:
- An anime of your choice
- A manga of your choice
- An anime or manga character
- An anime or manga character to marry (you can only marry one character OR Anime-Planet member)
- An Anime-Planet User
- An Anime-Planet member to marry (they must agree!) Note: the one who proposes uses up a claim, but the one agreeing to the marriage need not use up their claim (unless they want to - for the purposes of displaying it in their banner).
You can only claim something that hasn’t been claimed yet, so think fast and claim away!
Users who have been inactive for a long period of time may lose their claims, so make sure you post once in awhile! [Claims may be removed if you are inactive for 4 months in the forum.]
Also, please keep in mind that if your username ever changes, you need to come back to the thread or PM one of the Claiming Club Editors and let us know so that your claims remain with you. Failure to do so may result in the loss of your claims.
Note:
Couple Claims: To claim a couple you must have claimed BOTH of the characters that you want to have set as a couple in your banner. As an example, if I want to claim the couple "Naruto and Hinata" I would need to have both Naruto and Hinata claimed to have them show as a couple in the banner. You may notice some users have a couple claim without owning either of the characters. Couple claims were a controversial topic in the old Anime-Planet Claiming Club and as such were removed but those that claimed couples before the event happened were allowed to keep their couples.
Claiming Club Editors:
The Claiming Club is entirely run by volunteers who give up their time approving claims, managing the list and creating the sigs! Here's a list of current, as well as old, happily retired Claiming Club editors.

I know what I want to claim – now what?
----------------------------------
Respond to the thread with the following items:
- The type of things you’re claiming and if you’ve had a banner before.
- The name of the characters you are claiming/marrying (if a character) and the anime/manga they are from - NOTE: If a character or A-P user is already claimed, then they cannot be claimed/married, and vice versa.
- If you’d like a small Claiming Club image or a tall one. an editor will create the image for you and PM it to you once it’s finished. You are allowed to make your own, just make sure to mention it so we do not make a banner for you. Small banners only feature one character currently.
- Any images or special requests you have for the banner makers. Remember suggesting a color or you’ll be at the mercy of the maker. Gifs are now supported (Though the longer it is the lower the rendered quality).
- Please post the character portraits you wish used in your banner (When choosing the images you want, please make sure they are not too small, really small images will come out pixelated and bad looking when stretched to fit the box they belong in). We will not supply the images for the banner, except normal backgrounds, the claimer must be the one to supply us with the images (Small banners mostly need transparent background images).
Examples of the Claiming Society banners (backgrounds and characters will vary):
In case you just want to support us, don’t have your claims yet or any other reason, here’s a few other banners unrelated to claims you can use!:

To link your banners back to the thread:
Code:
[URL='https://www.anime-planet.com/forum/threads/the-anime-planet-claiming-society.304854/'][IMG]placeimagelinkhere[/IMG][/URL]
Gifs are currently being supported (at a change of a small loss in quality):
Super Claims/Favorite Character/I claimed this and I’m totally going to brag claim (NAME UNSURE):
We decided it’d be a little fun to be able to claim one character above the rest as your favorite inside your 3 claims, this currently does nothing more than affect your banner, choosing one claim as your favorite and asking it to be added in the banner will add a random little star to your character’s name when making the banner, while also being able to make your claim appear as the banner’s background, to personalize your banner into focusing more into that specific claim. As always, you have to supply the image you want in the background yourself.
The banner would look like so:
You can choose the star (Option 1, Option 2, Option 3), color of the star if you wish or choose to make it pop out more or less, although you should leave the color to the banner maker as they can see what fits best in the end.Talking about stars, this claim will also add a little star in the list to your claim, just to show potential curious people who is your favorite of your 3 claims.
The other purpose for this is to help you into choosing who you want to appear in your small banner, if you choose to ask for a smaller banner instead. We’ve decided that small banners will only include a single character for now, it looks nicer, not clustered, and only popular recognizable characters benefitted from being super small.
You can request from either of these 3 options of small banners now:
Day Small Banner. (Useful if you want a transparent background image of your claim in the banner)
Night Small Banner (Useful if you want a darker transparent bg image of your claim in the banner)
Small Banner (Useful if you want a similar banner to the bigger ones or you can’t find a good image with a transparent background for your claim)
Choose carefully!
We would also like to remind you that just like the decisions we’ve made, future editors/helpers of this club (if there is any haha) should not feel obligated to follow our steps and do the same kinds of banners that we’ve made, although tradition is cool and all, not everyone likes to make banners the same way which is how banners have evolved throughout the editors, not to mention not everyone can do them the exact same way, as an example, I don’t think I, Wonderboom, will even tackle gif banners, I’d love to but it sounds complicated, you can thank Alebord for that one.
A few last things:
- Remember to specify the type of banner you wish
- Remember to state which anime/manga characters you claim are from
- Check the list below and make sure your desired claims aren't already taken. You can use Ctrl+F in most browsers to search for a word in the document! Just remember to click the document to use the search function of the document.
- For those of you intending to claim only ONE or TWO things - please let us know if you wish a banner made for them or else priority will be given to those who have used their three claims
- If what you want to claim has already been taken by another member, feel free to check if they've been inactive for 4 months. Claims essentially expire every 4 months, so then tell us, and we'll free up the claims for you!
- If your character happens to be a Vocaloid or any sort of loid please state so, some of them do not appear in the anime character database (Examples are Gumi and Teto) and I'll accept the claim but we need to know where they are from.
- Remember, the claims last 4 months! If you don’t want yours taken, be sure to connect to the forum and hang around the site! If you need some motivation, join a few other clubs! The Welcoming Club is a good motivator to stay online every day and helps you meet new people, and potentially friends! If you are more of a competitive motivated user, you may want to check TACO out!
Happy Claiming!!
