an Anime Discussion area

I think that they should add a Anime section to the forums because it pretty much the 2nd most talked about thing on this site. What do you guys think?

Nope! One of the best things about this forum is how we have one whole area for anime and all other non-video game related talk. That way we don't have to keep going around to new areas to see discussions related to anime, and anime is something that just kinda gets mixed in with everything else. One of the things that keeps me from going on other forums is that they have an area made for anime discussion only, it just makes the whole anime thing feel very detached from the rest of the website.

This has actually been brought up quite a bit in the past. I remember a good while ago a discussion thread about this subject was stickied, and watched by the guys in charge here. As is obvious, seems an anime forum didn't happen. But things change, back then it may not have been able to happen, but now it might. Probably not. Maybe.

I would prefer it to having to sift through all the anime-related threads, certainly.

It does fall under the banner of off-topic though, and I avoid the 14 year olds asking for relationship advice too, which is almost as prevalent.


Sorry, bad mood.

You could join the Anime Fans group and discuss it there?

I don't see it all that often in Off-Topic to be honest. Well, not enough to warrant it's own forum anyway.

Been done before. Search bar.

The Escapist is a gaming website, so as a general rule of thumb anything not about gaming isn't on the topic. So, it falls under "off Topic".

EDIT: Plus do you really want to have to hop around to different sections all the time for it?

the whole anime thing feel very detached from the rest of the website.

and the Jobs discussion area isn't

(fun fact, the Jobs area why i made this topic)

Perhaps a subforum in the off topic section?
Like the way Valve has subforums in the TF2 section for each of the classes.

As far as I know, subforums aren't implemented in the website's code. And I don't think that it would be implemented because of this.
