Shinsekai yori fans, like is there a discord server, or sth else? |

It's nicer than bigger fandoms because people tend to avoid being unnecessarily mean to each other, following the logic that we're few, we don't need to be involved into catfights. And we get really happy when we found each other. Some smaller anime fanbases in which I am are 12 Kingdoms, Gankutsuou, Shinsekai Yori, Princess Tutu, Suisei no Gargantia, Kaiba, Noein, Fantastic Children, Ima Soku ni Iru Boku, Shiki, Turn A Gundam, Kiznaiver, Dennou Coil, Haibane Renmei and RahXephon. And @BestBoiEren yes there's such thing as a Shinsekai Yori fandom, just like there's one for OreImo, Eromanga-sensei, Guilty Crown, KonoSuba, Overlord, Zero no Tsukaima and Akame ga Kill. |

The smaller the fanbase the fewer the chances of someone ruining the show/game/etc with sick things xdd |

I agree with you, in small fandom people tend to understand each other, I've been in small fandom (saiyuki, bungou SD,..) for years and haven't encountered any problem with the members. There's always an exception to the rule, small fandom might agree on a certain opinion (ships for exp) and hates you if you disagree with them. I've moved from Skip beat fandom for that reason. |

That's mostly just people having fun though and not being toxic. |

Funnily enough, I got into both JoJo and Love Live becuause of a "Feud" that went on longer than It should've in LatAm Facebook groups. |

Define small, because Claymore, here on mal is pretty popular, yet on its forum pages or clubs, there were 0 activity. I know because I browsed that a lot. At least there weas no waifu war, everyone knows Yuma is best girl. And don't make me talk about anime like Kitakubu or Blue Gender or Noein. There's no one to talk to. I like a loud and big fanbase, why not? At least you get to talk. |

Definitely! im not sure if hibike euphonium fan base is huge but from what ive seen is that its pretty small compared to others and the fans are always nice. in part of others that are much smaller but point is that its a unique experience! Idk,i almost feel like im friends with whole (small) fandom which gives a nice sense of “we are on the same wavelength” and we enjoy talking about the things we like despite them not being vpopular |

Every single Berserk fan I've met was pleasant and cool dude. I think anime communities all they have toxic and non-toxic fans. I mean I'm obviously in the JoJo fandom and I would say when most of them aren't memeing around in the comments of Youtube or Discord, they're all pretty fine. I am part of the Soul Eater fandom, but it's very very small. Soul Eater's manga is genuinely very good and I like to discuss about it in my server. I guess I'm don't consider myself part of any small fandoms. Soul Eater would be very close. CowboyMode said: larger fan bases are better tbh, they will always generate more interesting people and content its funny how people always complain about "toxicity" and all this stuff as though someone is pointing a gun at their head forcing them to read and be bothered by every dumb post by random strangers Also, another galaxy brain comment. I get it though, reading something that bothers you. But the best thing to do is just blow it off or just vent about it somewhere not in public view of the Internet. |

The Mo Dao Zu Shi fan base (even though the I've joined it just recently) is small but friendly. It's great to see people willing to explain parts of the Donghua (Chinese anime) that would make more sense to the novel readers. I mean, with a novel, audio drama, live action, manhua, and anime, there's sure to be a lot of friendly discussion (and the occasional banter of course). I don't know how to explain it properly but you could say that you feel more 'included' when you're part of a small fan base as your voice is more likely to be heard than when you're in this humongous information overload that is a larger fanbase. |

I noticed that the Jojo fanbase is growing rapidly lately and with that the amount of toxic and unfunny people grows as well and i am seeing way more shitty instagram memes about Jojo then actual good Jojokes. They only ruin other peoples view on the fanbase but they're easy to ignore. But what cant be ignored are the fanbases of main stream shonen Naruto and MHA in particular are so obnoxious that i hated MHA without even watching it for a good while and of course the DBZ fanbase which tries to destroy an argument when the quality of the series is in question with a good old "Its popular so it has to be good" and "Your MC cant beat Goku". |

I read the novel beforehand so I didn't really notice anything. I might be biased so who knows? But yes, I see a lot of people getting all defensive over the show as if they were the creators. Anyway, I mostly converse with the small but dedicated group of readers (who've managed to read a 570K word novel in a matter of days) rather than the 'radioactive' anime community on MAL. In the Donghua, I see a bit of badly done things but also a lot of stunning work. Because of the unpredictable Chinese censorship, a lot of scenes had to be cut or shortened (and even changed) so the Donghua can get really confusing. Then again, a lot will be covered in the later seasons so I can't really tell. Anyway, you have a point but those people are everywhere xp, not just in this fandom. |

moshiyare said: I read the novel beforehand so I didn't really notice anything. I might be biased so who knows? Or maybe you don't care about animation that much. moshiyare said: I see a bit of badly done things but also a lot of stunning work. This is the problem I am talking about - some scenes are movie quality others like taken from different title. TV anime tends to be with less details but more even...And yes, there are way more trashy animes but some fans are praising The Mo Dao Zu Shi like the best thing ever and it isn't. I like it, it is very interesting and fresh show but it demonstrates why you should weight directly japanese and chinese titles - they use different artistic means and work in different cultural environments. moshiyare said: Because of the unpredictable Chinese censorship Those problems I comment on aren't caused by censorship - I was talking about missing transition scenes and weird edit. This is more likely due to some planning errors and production delays. |

Keiju said: Well, of course, its gonna be niche and it should be. The genres literally include psychological, horror, mystery and drama which can be a massive turnoff for many people. That, coupled with its depiction of homosexual couples and (kinda) underage sex, and as you said, the exposition focused first episodes, can be really confusing and a big turn-off for many people out there. Not to mention its primary genres, psychological horror need a functioning brain and a hang of environmental storytelling to grasp (since a lot of its horror stems from its world building). Or you could just go in expecting kids and shit, dont give a damn about what its trying to do, never even try to think, and then make a shitpost on it...

Who are you and why do you show your hostility towards a complete stranger whom you've not once spoken with before. Are you seriously asking to get blocked? Well, if that's what your intent is; to tempt me into throwing hands with someone as lowly and insignificant as you, then i may grant your wish provided you articulate yourself a bit better when trying to spite a person of my wavelength. |

I'm part of the SNAFU fan base. It's not a typical high school anime like many normies think, atleast the mainstream ones. It's actually a deep show if you understand it enough. Also I enjoyed Shinsekai Yori alot too so I guess I'm apart of that fan base too. I know, it's a yaoi scene and I hate homosexuality, but it's only one episode, but then again I understand why most people drop it off after a that, besides it's not a show for everyone. Thankfully I'm a open minded person and I'm also very patient, so I have no problem watching slow paced series. But I really enjoyed the world setting, the history of civilization. So naturally discussions on sociology, science, anthropology and the future which is apart of it, I really like hearing about from the fanbase. |

@BallistikJuice: Scholarships; especially if your GPA is at least a 3.0. Going to a community collage for several years and only paying about $1,000 a semester for two or three classes and eventually earn an associate degree and transfer to a university, instead of always paying over $10,000 a semester for two or three. And having a parent that works at a university that is willing to take care of most of if not all of my tuition. So, yeah. Who would have thought that being an artistically inclined fan of a big titty anime would actually lead to a career? *shrugs* |

Same, I love fanbases for older properties. All the discourse that could ever come up happened over a decade ago on Livejournal and now everyone just wants to enjoy the series together. |
