A new Monday means it is a new general discussion thread. We are at or near the halfway point of the season for most of the winter shows. I plan on dedicating next week's thread to a midterm report of sorts, so look forward to it! In the meantime, please use this thread to talk about what you have watched recently, any questions you might have, recommendations, or whatever else strikes your fancy. Like usual, a couple examples:

Are there any shows with more suggestive eyecatches than Bravern?
Is Metallic Rouge some elaborate experiment to see how long an audience will watch pretty nonsense?
Is Kensuke from Dungeon Meshi basically a Pokemon that Laios uses to fight?

As always, remember to be mindful of spoilers. If you want to know more about how to handle spoilers in this community, check the guide here (also linked in the sidebar).

Hmm why isn't it at .ml?

Frankly, the .ml admins' heavy handed intervention in /c/anime accomplished the impressive feat of being insulting, oppressive and disrespectful, and showed a lack of understanding of anime and manga culture.

I have also abandoned .ml, despite starting in lemmy there. (Actually I started in fmhy, but that instance only lasted about a month)

If you believe the numbers, this /c has about twice the weekly and daily visitors as .ml, despite having less than 10% of the total subscribers as .ml

Do you mean this discussion post? I used to post in both communities. However, after the recent round of admin interventions, they went back and deleted all of the weekly discussion posts for the past couple months I had made. I also got a private message from one of the admins about my posting. So, I am not actively posting in the ml community any longer. For a couple weeks, that community was locked to mods only, so I couldn't post if I wanted to.
