    I needed a tester thread, but I can't actually delete the thread. Whoops. So let me know your favourite nefarious anime villains instead. You don't have to get specific. You can even talk about what kind of villain archetypes you prefer to see in anime, overall.

    Best Male Character: Noms

    So! Let's give character polls a try again! It's been awhile so I've mostly been filling myself in backreading a bit. And I think it's fair to start with something simple - the classic Best Male Character vote. Like before, when submitting your entry for the polls it should include: 1) Your...

    Character Polling Contests

    I wouldn't mind trying to facilitate or run this sort of thing. The concept seems simple enough. Really, the more big issue seems kickstarting it rather than just having it as an idea. So let's talk. My question is: what kind of polls are people interested in seeing, categorically? Did we vote...

    Makes You Feel Things

    Not weepy romance though please. I have a low threshold for 'I'm a plain boy and you're a plain girl and we have no characters aside from this'. Romance is okay though I guess. I don't know how to say this except 'not clannad like'. Basically I'm going to have more free time in a week and I...

    Character-focused Drama

    I want a story that focuses on complicated characters and their complexities, especially something I haven't seen. If it gets philosophical, that's cool too. Bonus points for trauma + traumatic backstories

    Good Character-Based Drama

    Sad backstories. Family secrets. Betrayals that twist your gut and wound you. Well-formed characters with complex motivations who are not always nice, but are often entertaining. Basically: good character drama. I'm not picky on genre. Sci-fi, fantasy? But character-based? Good shit. examples...

    Eccentric Main Character

    I've found that in a lot of series, the main character is the most boring one. I do not mind if the character is flawed, or a bit of a dick, but I'm looking for main characters you thought were INTERESTING and maybe a bit strange. Not just strange and boring though. Preference for if their...

    Old Classics with Drama and Lots of Tragic Backstories

    Basically what it says on the tin. I know a lot of pre-2000s anime are notable for their drama/tragic backstories (not that current anime isn't, but pre-2000s anime have a SPECIAL FEELING) Looking for heavy drama, but I'm not picky about genre. I'll watch pretty much anything that meets...

    Stories That Focus Heavily on Character Drama / Relationships

    I want well written stories that focus on the relationships between characters, their issues and deeply explore character perspective that I haven't seen. Webs of character interaction I know it sounds kind of vague, but it's something I want at the forefront or deeply explored within tthe show...

    Catchy/Earworm Openings and Endings - (being 'good' not required)

    This is not a thread for "good" openings and endings. The opening/ending doesn't have to be bad either, but it can be. This is for openings and endings that stay in your head and won't leave. That haunt you. That have some sort of melody that leaves you thinking about it and can be brought to...

    [Request] Seasons Prior to Winter 2000

    So, I'm not sure why the seasons prior to Winter 2000 aren't listed? I'm sure things like this have been considered, so I guess I'm curious why it only goes back so far.

    Story Theme Search - Different themes. (Kids, abuse, lgbt themes, codependence)

    Posting this thread here as well, because I think my chances to find themes that fit what I'm asking for is more likely in manga. 1. A story with multiple child main characters, especially if its an adventure, but it doesn't have to be. Just kids being developed characters, basically. Nothing...

    Story Theme Search - Different themes. (Kids, abuse, lgbt themes, codependence)

    1. A story with multiple child main characters, especially if its an adventure, but it doesn't have to be. Just kids being developed characters, basically. Nothing wrong with SoL but I'd prefer if the plot had something more than 'kids hang around in a club' all day to it, regarding this one. 2...

    [Request] Love/hate for anime and manga

    I'm a bit surprised there isn't a way to hit love and hate for anime, since we have those options for a lot of things on the site. Think the request is simple to understand in nature, but I'm not sure if there's some coding barrier that would be in its way...

    so, I wanted to ask 1) is there a proper thread for clarifying what certain tags mean / certain regulations are on submissions to database 2) for submitting character photos for super long franchises (fate franchise, slayers) how do we determine which series we're submitting pics from? oldest...
