As per title, if an anime you watch has a very peculiar frame/scene do you screenshot?
If you do, are you a collector of these screenshots? What use do you have for them?
Do you use them in thread discussions?

Me personally, I do tend to screenshot some funny/weird anime scenes when the need arises.
I also enjoy hidden references to other anime/manga so I take screenshots of those also.
As for what I use them for, I keep them as a trophy in my MAL profile.

Most of my anime screenshots are just for timestamps.

Plenty. It's just nice to have random things to have as reaction images, even if they'll probably never see the light of day.



Though I usually go a step further and make random anime clips into gifs as I'm watching a series, because one day I'll find a thread where one of them is relevant.



Since I don't know when/if I'll use it, here's a City Hunter one.

I take some SS after the episode ends, mostly with ecchi shots or some stuff I find cool. I keep them on the internet, too big a collection to fill up my HDD

From time to time whenever I feel the scene is quite funny or subs just to share with my online buddy and my irl buddy. I remember taking a screen of Frieren when Fern was telling "Alcohol is medicine" to send it to my best friend who's not anime fan, just to tell him that it is time to hit the bars.

Nah I'm to lazy. I need to get up and do some clicks. I rather press play for the next episode.

I did take SS and edited them of some manhwa I red. so I could post them in the comments at appropiate chapters of other manhwa. Eventually I grew tired of that aswell, the endless sauce requests became tedious. Archiving all these SS became tiresome aswell.
I don't know who quotes me and then deletes the comment, but know that you make my day.

More like Getting Crap Past the Radar (which happens a lot in donghua) - https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/GettingCrapPastTheRadar since yuri isn't suppose to be a thing in chinese media and in-universe the white hair chick hates the green hair chick...I guess they are getting best friends further in the story.

But my point was that from my POV visually more interesting stuff is happening in donghua than in anime.

Good question for a thread OP. I have taken screenshots of shows, but only for the purpose of creating a pfp, and if the shots look amazing, like the Cat's Eye in between break still frames, hence my current pfp of Rui from Cat's Eye enjoying a drink of wine in her dressing gown. Cat's Eye had a different set of still frames for every episode and they all looked amazing, like still life hand drawn pictures. Simoun had some decent still frames.

Also I checked your collection OP and don't think I come across anyone else that has seen Spirit Blade Mountain, Oubu was a brilliant milf type. I've been wanting to catch up on S2 but read some of the reviews saying it isn't very good, what did you think?

Do you take screenshots of Anime

In my mind. Like wtf how mfs screenshotting shit, like hold on let me just PRINT SCREEN THIS FUCKING SCENE AND SEND IT TO MY E GIRL LOL.
I am a COMPLETIONIST. Aiming to finish AS MANY ANIME as possible before DEATH, Despite them being SATISFACTORY or if they are BORING.

I WATCH THE LOWEST SCORED/RATED/RANKED ANIMES ON MAL (OR you can CALL THEM The WORST animes in the WORLD - No Joke Like Seriously)

No anime has actually satisfied my anime taste, That I can call a MasterPiece (10/10), still searching... hopefully one day I will find that show and obsess over it till I die.
RULE NO.4 I MUST WATCH ALL CONTENT FOR THE SERIES I HAVE FINISHED, NOW THIS ONE IS QUITE EXHILARATING.
