We should be able to leave comments on the character pages and also relate them to other charcters.

Mod Edit: Modified title for clarity and/or easier searching.

The ability to comment on character pages was considered...but dropped due to the potential for people to spoil.

Just for the fun of it... people might want to watch a show with similar characters.

I know what you mean... but people could put a spoiler warning or just comment on the looks but meh I guess it really doesn't matter.

Tons of bitches in the world. I can't tell you how many times I've seen "general" discussion turn in to spoiler crap by jerks wanting to ruin stuff for people.

so yeah, there isn't an effective way to combat this. :(

Not sure if this was already mentioned or not, but like how you made possible discussion under each Voice actor profile page, have a similar kind of concept under each anime/manga character profile. Something small, and you may view it as not necessary, but it's convenient for people who simply want to express love/hate for a particular character.

Should we have a comment area for the characters in a Anime or Manga? Like the way you would comment a voice actor/actress, you could comment the character.

Please comment on this.

I can't search if this idea has suggested or not. "The search feature is currently offline for maintenance. Sorry for the inconvenience."....is what I see when I click on search. Sorry~

I nothiced that we can comment on other people's profiles, clubs, club pictures, people, blogs...etc. But we can't comment on characters. If there was a technical problem with that, it's okay but a character profile can't be different from a user profile can it?

Anyway, by that, we can also talk to other people who like that character. Eg. You love Fuji Syusuke but it dosen't fit on your fave list as you moved on from Prince of Tennis. You can always post a comment saying I love fuji Syusuke, have anyone seen the episode when...

That way, you don't have to go through all the users' profile to say do you like Fuji.

What do you think?

I see your point. We're able to comment on People but not on Characters even though it's pretty much the same thing: Describing a character whether it's a physical real one or virtual fictional one. Commenting on characters could probably be nice but I'm gonna be honest and say that I have up till now not missed this feature.
As for finding other users that like a certain character I see two available options:

  1. Search for that character under Clubs as pretty much every character with a little popularity has their own fan club here on MAL.
  2. Check out the favorite section of that certain character. Here you will see a list of all users having that character added as a favorite.


I'll vote maybe.
... Even if I took time to write alot of intelligent words of deep thought and meaning in my signature, would you really care to read and comment on it? ...

but the problem is there are many less popular characters with no fanclub and you must be in the club to post a comment. And sometimes the less popular ones dosen'y make it on the fave list.

Anyway, the comments aren't just for fanboy/girling, eg. I might post I HATE HIM!!!

Then make a club, that's what most people do. And ya, you usually have to join a club to post, but you just join, post, and then leave and your comment stays unless someone deletes it.

On the other hand, I kind of see the downside as being people fangirling or spamming. Still...

How about adding a new tab-page for comments? That way, you could keep trolls and haters off the main page but still have a comments section.

Crunchyroll used to be like that (don't know if it still does).

I think adding comments to your favorites list might be more feasible and useful. In line with the flaming that would go on provided it was on a characters page, users can instead comment on their favorite characters, anime, and manga for other users to view on their profile.

This can be a good way to see justifications and rationale for the reason the user had picked that favorite item in question.

Those types of things are generally left to the About Me section or your blog.

As for this suggestion in general, yes, it has been denied multiple times in the past for reasons Cloud cited.

I don't think the problem is whether or not the flaming/idiotic comments are immediately accessible. Putting them one click away won't change the fact that the comments might have to be moderated.

This has already been shot down and it's not going to happen because of the major amount of "trolling" that would probably ensue on certain characters

such as naruto and all of that junk.

I'm sure we're all aware of how anime fans feel about their favourite characters.. So it would be nothing more than an unnecessary 'blood bath' in the comment sections most likely
