One of the communities I've been missing from Reddit r/animesuggest but I've had the darndest time trying to get to a spot where I could start a community myself. Does anyone else have any plans for such a community?

Was wondering if any of you would like a Discord server for the community or would it be worth waiting a bit?

It is my great pleasure to announce in collaboration with @virtualras@lemmy.world & @N3DSdude@lemmy.ml that automatic episode discussion threads will now begin posting to the !anime@lemmy.ml community starting right now!

Q&A:

What are episode discussion threads?

Simply put, they're a place to discuss newly aired seasonal anime episodes. Here's an example.

Why do these need to be automated?

Automation will lower the barrier to entry for discussions and help to remind everyone when new content airs. More importantly: it's what you guys asked for! (exhibit A, exhibit B)

What technology does the bot use?

The bot uses the same code as the /r/anime subreddit known as Holo. We had to fork the bot to make it work with Lemmy, but we intend to merge our work back upstream so that we can share improvements and collaborate with them when it comes to things like code optimizations and show data.

You can follow our efforts in refining & upstreaming the Holo fork here. Please feel welcome to contribute your own improvements to the PR as well 😊 (see below known issues list for ideas)

Why fork Holo?

Two reasons:

• Building a good bot is time intensive. By forking a mature project, you guys get what you want faster and us developers don't have to reinvent the wheel, so to speak.
• Every season, some poor soul has to perform the grueling task of manually cataloging each airing show. By using a shared codebase, we benefit from the dedicated work of /r/anime's data collection instead of having to do it ourselves.

Are there any known issues?

Yes:

• Links to episodes that aired prior to today will point to the wrong place. The bot is designed with the assumption that it can edit every post it links to -- since the actual threads prior to today were manually created by other people, it's impossible to incorporate those threads into the bot's database.
• Episode polls currently have an anti-brigading feature using Reddit authentication. That's obviously kind of a non-sensical thing to do here since 1) this isn't Reddit & 2) nobody's brigaded us yet. We plan to fix this soon!
• Anime subreddits currently show up in each thread's "Show information" list, but there's currently no such support for plugging the equivalent Lemmy communities. Eventually, we'll need to get that set up and upstream it, too. 😉

Who's the bot?

The episode discussion bot is named @shinobu@ani.social!

Why's the bot hosted on ani.social?

Let's break this into three parts:

• Why not lemmy.ml? Because new user registrations are closed for lemmy.ml 🤷
• Why not lemmy.world? Because lemmy.world is defederated by beehaw.org. In addition, smaller instances (like my own) sometimes temporarily defederate lemmy.world during heavy traffic. Obviously, we don't want visitors missing out on episode threads just because of federation drama or a recent traffic surge!
• Why ani.social specifically? Because they're on-topic, small enough to generally dodge defederation threats, and serious about their infrastructure.

Why "Shinobu"?

Before /r/anime's bot was running under /u/AutoLovepon, it ran on an account named Holo. Clearly the bot's creator was a fan of Spice & Wolf. I named the bot Shinobu because I'm a 🤮 bakemonogatari 🤮 fan. No further questions -- this interview is over. I will never apologize!

The second season starts without much fluff. The animation is rather on the budget side, but the characters are likeable, there's some development for the main couple and for Cuff/Zayn, and even ~~some~~ a lot of fanservice.

This looks interesting...

The year is 2222. It has been years since Tears of the New Moon, a mysterious rain, poured and wiped out almost the entire human race. The poisonous rain gave birth to deformed creatures devouring humans, and humanity fled from the danger. As means for survival, the humans then build an underground haven; Amasia. In this newly built dystopian city, in a pursuit of maintaining their existence, they run into an Artificial Intelligence named Magus. Not knowing how things will work between them, the story of how Humans and AI coinciding and trying to find their truths begin.

Cosplay at anime conventions has gotten so much better than 10-15 years ago. I think the last con I made it to was Otakon in Baltimore during the late aughts. There were maybe a handful of people that brought the level of quality to the costumes compared to many of the cosplayers these days.

Ryota (MC) dies in real world, and drops from a slime in the Lv1 of a dungeon in isekai (yup). He meets a girl who lives in the dungeon because she can't afford rent, and discovers three things:

1. everything in that new world is produced through mob drops
2. his max level is Lv1, so he won't level up, ever
3. his drop skills are all S so he gets a lot of good stuff out of any monster that he kills

Run-off-the-mill isekai, but still fun stuff to watch in a rainy day.
