That also has anime.actually MAL just recently reach 6 million users but CrunchyRoll got 40 million users though so MAL has a long way to go CrunchyRoll got forums and profiles where you can comment and message people if i remember right so its also a social site too that way but ye MAL is more social site |

Forums like MAL and image boards like /a/ are the only ones worth using when discussing anything, anime included. |

"Doubting everything that you take on... That is very important. Open your own eyes, clear out your ears, and look and listen to the world... And think using your own brain. After you've doubted everything, there is a possibility of something real to believe in. To believe in something, doubt everything." |
KingShoter007 said: I watch a number of nicher and out-of-date (but not to the point of being "classics") series so maybe I'll check it out more, thanks.GlennMagusHarvey said: What even does /a/ offer that's noteworthy? Aside from image memes if you're into that stuff I guess. A major reason is that's its easy to get into. You can find a thread you like easily (or start one), and comment whatever you want on it without any repercussions. Here on MAL you have to be careful what you write because everyone can see your username and post history on your profile, but on /a/ you're just another anon. There are also a lot more diverse threads there than here. I rarely find something I'm interested on MAL that gets new daily posts. You also get discussions about anime that's mostly ignored on other sites because of their small fanbases, which isn't a problem with /a/ niche tastes. Main problem with this, though, is that for every famous series there is, there are tens and hundreds of lesser-known series, so it's not like dedicated fans of any particular series will have more luck. r/anime and /a/ share the same problem that they have limited page space for such stuff, and if anything r/anime has the advantage that its topics are clearer. Meanwhile MAL AD just shoves anime-specific threads into their dedicated subforums instead, which is probably the best place to find existing conversation from others about a given show, but is a bad place to get attention from others. I guess if one just wants to post something about their pet series they can, on both r/anime (I can't see any rules against this, so yeah) and /a/, and they'll get more eyeballs than if they post it on MAL, but lurking for stuff for one's pet series isn't exactly any more promising. Also I'm not sure why one has to be "careful" about what one writes (unless one has a bad habit of shitposting rather than writing up thoughtful posts). Meanwhile, the many layers of jargon as well as irony/exaggeration/memes/etc. that I've seen on /a/ (plus the unintuitive UI, though that can be gotten used to) make it not particularly worth hanging out on except for people who are more into the fandom chatter (particularly among more intense fans, who've probably watched/read more of the random stuff that comes up as topics) than I am (and, it seems, are more into posting reactions to things than I am). But yeah, between the jargon and the UI I'm not really sure how it's "easy to get into". TL;DR /a/ could be nice for randomly having more topical coverage of more obscure shows, but isn't good for in-depth sit-down discussion (I don't mean to argue with you; just airing my disagreements I guess.) Granted, /a/ does feel more informal, like just a "hang out and shoot the shit" kind of place, where you can post even if you don't have fully formed point you wanna say but just wanna express something, like "I found this cool". I guess in that sense it's "easy to get into". Edit: damnit where is that one thread where someone posted a picture of White Cat from Akashic Records in response? i just saw it like a few minutes ago; this crap isn't built with longevity of any sort in mind is it |

If that US bill were to be reversed the internet might stop such strict anti sexuality rules lol i already forgot about FOSTA until you mentioned it, and ye this is the main reason why sexual content is kinda being banned around the internet, RIP Tumblr rule34 contents |
deg said: yes it has, and barely anyone uses it for that. You go to CR to watch anime. You go to MAL to talk about it. Otherwise we could also take some random illegal streaming site.

YossaRedMage said: The omitted pictures aren't even extremely sexual Yeah, right... I mean, I love me some anime tatas as much as anyone else, but let's call it like it is. Some of those posters... holy shit. |
GlennMagusHarvey said: I looked at it and I basically see an entire frontpage full of stuff about shows I haven't watched (mainly because I haven't watched anything currently airing). The rule against posting series-specific threads in this forum makes quite a lot of sense in light of that. Those are just episode discussion threads. MAL has them too, but they are limited to the "anime series discussion" subforum. Subreddits don't have subforums, so they are just on the front page there. |
 What's the difference? |
| I don't see anything more than 'lightly NSFW' in those pictures or that would violate Reddit's rules. No nipples, no lolis. Prudes with power are the worst. |

No. That is ResetEra, not Reddit... ResetEra is also the most inconstant site there is, the enforcement of rules is inconsistent even by far left standards. |

zal said: I agree with what they did, even better they should ban all images of female characters. Nothing personal. Why are people so butthurt over drawings being naked or masturbating, or even having sexual intercorse. They're 2d, grow up already your embarrassing yourselves. You and everyone else who thinks that these things need censoring, or be flat out removed. |
