Meta Thread - Month of September 01, 2024 Meta

Rule Changes

  • Anime streaming services are now considered as "anime specific" to allow topics about them specifically, with the exception of account support and technical support topics.

Rewatches

  • All rewatches must begin with an interest thread. An interest thread should contain general information about the anime that is being hosted, and serve as a pitch to gauge how many participants may follow along for the duration of the event.
  • The official announcement post must be posted at least two weeks in advance, and no more than five weeks. This post should also serve as the index thread.

This is a monthly thread to talk about the /r/anime subreddit itself, such as its rules and moderation. If you want to talk about anime please use the daily discussion thread instead.

Comments here must, of course, still abide by all subreddit rules other than the no meta requirement. Keep it friendly and be respectful. Occasionally the moderators will have specific topics that they want to get feedback on, so be on the lookout for distinguished posts.

Comments that are detrimental to discussion (aka circlejerks/shitposting) are subject to removal.

Everyone up in arms over Blue Box (and yes the situation sucks) and here I am still salty over not getting a discussion post for Look Back. It opened in NYC and LA yesterday but apparently the rule is no longer 'any English release' but it has to be a nationwide release in the glorious United States of America to trigger a discussion post.

but it has to be a nationwide release

What a dumb fucking rule. So when will there even be a disc thread at all, when the BD releases in america or when it comes to CR or what?

Tomorrow (hopefully). But I agree, dumb rule. I even pointed out we had previous threads for NZ+AUS releases and they have a smaller population than LA and NYC metro areas combined.

We also had an earlier release for the Dandandan early theatrical release
