On Anime

While Anime is a beloved animation style with a rich history and extensive following, our focus here leans towards other forms of animation. This is due to the immense popularity of Anime in online spaces, which is amply covered by other dedicated communities.

This doesn't mean that Anime related conversation is not allowed here, only that it's not our focus. For a dedicated Anime instance, check out ani.social.

On Technical Discussion

While our primary goal is to discuss animated media, conversations about animation techniques and the process of creating animation are also welcome. Whether you're a budding animator seeking to understand more about the industry, or a seasoned professional sharing your experiences, you're welcome here.

For me the first thing that comes to mind is Tales from Earthsea. I don't think it's excellent or anything and has plenty of problems but people act like it killed their dog. While it has its problems that have been covered extensively, I think it has a beautiful atmosphere and art.

IMO it would have been better received if it wasn't advertised as an Earthsea adaptation and was just its own thing.

Love The Last Airbender movie and people basically think I'm trolling when I share that. I've watched it multiple times, I love it, I like it better than the Netflix series even. One of my all time favorite movies.

Even taking the premise of this thread, I still think you're trolling. I just can't comprehend this point of view

My theory is that M Night Shyamalan was asked to make all three Avatar movies so he could make Split, but made it bad on purpose so he wouldn't have to make the other two.

My evidence is him using a quarry as a prison for the earthbenders.

Never seen the movie but that's hilarious. I'm glad the movie exists, solely because I get to laugh at the video of the earthbenders moving a rock.

It's so irritating how people try to tell me my opinion on this movie is wrong. Yes, I'm absolutely completely serious, and I know other people that enjoy it too.

Try to spend time off the Internet hivemind and realize that most people's opinions are themselves actually viral.

I also unironically love Forspoken and count it among the best games I've ever played. I think it's not even close to as bad as people claim and the opinion that it's bad it's viral and mited in social momentum.

I form my own, independent ideas on things I like and typically disregard the opinions of others. I am not trolling, I love the movie, it's one of my favorites.

How dare someone vote me down for expressing my opinions.
