Delightful things about the anime community
The anime community is now bigger than it has ever been. With the rapid growth of anime's popularity worldwide, more and more people are becoming part of this already large community. Ten or so years ago, no one could have imagined that anime would become something this massive. Unfortunately, though, this overwhelming popularity has brought quite a few negative consequences as well.
Since the anime community is becoming larger and larger day by day, the number of toxic and hateful people in the community is also increasing. For this reason, a lot of people view the community in a rather cynical way. However, although it's irrefutable that some anime fans can be obnoxious, the same can't be said about all of them. There are a lot of delightful aspects about the community that are generally neglected and overlooked by others. These include but definitely aren't limited to:
These are only a few beautiful things about the anime community; there certainly are a lot more. Some people may find it toxic since some of the members do display questionable behaviour, but I earnestly believe that that the community's good aspects far outweigh its bad ones. All things considered, I truly love the anime community as a whole, and I don't think it deserves all the hate that it gets.

👥Creating Friendships👥
The anime community is a great place to make friends. There are a lot of nice and friendly people in the community whom others can interact with and do other fun stuff.
💬Having Discussions💬
The anime community is also a great place to have meaningful and productive discussions. People sharing the same interests can talk with each other about their favorite topics and have a lot of fun doing so.
💂💃Diversity👳👱
People from most regions of the world are members of the anime community. Consequently, the entire community is very diversed. All the people are from different cultures and origins; they are really different to each other in many ways. This diversity is actually a very positive aspect of the community in my opinion. Because of this, we get the opportunity to learn more about each other as humans.
🎨Abundance of Talented People🎨
The anime community is abundant of artists, authors, cosplayers, voice actors, etc. who are all very, very talented. Through the community, these talented people are easily able to show their amazing skills to others, which incentivizes them to work even harder.

I fully believe that arguments are part of the discussion. you can't meet this many people and expect to hugbox things out with everyone. how you handle the situation is the important part. as long as it doesn't result in calling names and whatnot, disagreement is welcome. people get fired up when it comes to things they love. the only toxic people are those who don't like anime, therefore have no passion for it. you can spot them easily by their behavior. anime is a vast ocean of different genres, with something for everyone. yet they insist on bashing everything remotely japanese about them, only ever focusing on what they hate about it. |

Taking the time to read this, I think it's important that although this is ultimately simple--it serves as a reminder that there are people on the other side of the screen that has the potential to lift others up. You didn't have to make this blog post, yet you did--and I commend you for shedding some positivity. Basically treat others the way you want to be treated--and that's cool.A lot of people can learn from having this sort of mentality. |

Thank you for being one of the more positive people in this community! You're really cool and I respect you LOTS!! You showed me the good side of this community and made me feel glad I became a part of it. You even nudged me to check out the creative corner on the forums and I really liked it!! We had a nice and chill discussion about a topic I didn't think I'd get to discuss and you patiently read everything I wrote. Chatting with you is also fun. I share your opinion on all you said. And you are also the biggest example of great side of this community. Thank you for being here. Thank you for writing this. Stay cool man. |

I don't remember how the quote goes or who said it, but it goes something like "Look for the bad and you will find it. Look for the good, and you will surely find it." It's all a matter of perspective, and kind-hearted people like you are what make this community great. In every big community there will be a few sour apples, but that shouldn't detract how great the rest of them are!Thank you for staying positive and for spreading the love. Stay awesome! |
