tl;dr - A more complete set of rules has been posted to the wiki and a link included in the sidebar.

Hi everybody! Despite my tendency to write too much, this will be a quick post, I promise. 🤞

I had been slowly working in the background on writing up a more verbose and complete version of rules for the community on the wiki. After the most recent discussion about an edge case in the rules in which the community gave some great feedback, I thought it worthwhile to make this page go live and call it out in the sidebar.

The most notable parts of the full rules that are not present in the shortened version present in the sidebar would be:

• Some clarifications on relevant content
• A longer discussion of NSFW content and some edge cases
• Rules for posts linking to legally available full episodes
• Rules/guidelines for [Clip] posts
• Rules pertaining to self-promotion

That's it! If you have any questions, feel free to ask here or reach out to me separately. Alternatively, if you want to go over my head, you can ask @hitagi@ani.social directly since they can nuke my mod-dom from orbit should they so choose.

Finally, thanks to @sabreW4K3@lazysoci.al for the recent discussion and for motivating me to finish up this rules page.

Source is from episode 6.

What hasn't already been said about Frieren at this point. Long before an anime adaptation had been announced, I was a huge fan of the manga. I was worried that it wouldn't translate to the anime medium very well due to the slower pace and less intense action compared to many other shounen. Well, I shouldn't have worried at all. They pulled out all the stops in the adaptation and juiced up the action sequences through gorgeous visuals and a fantastic OST.

Season 2 has been announced, but given the production schedules of the teams involved, it will likely be quite some time until it gets worked on or comes out. Even if I have to wait 10 years for it, I am happy to give it the time they need to create magic like they did in season 1. It will be a mere 10-year adventure in the meantime.

Edit: Just wanted to include a mention of !frieren@ani.social as well.

Premieres January 2025. Check out the ANN article for additional information. Synopsis from AniList:

"At this rate, I'll just graduate as a plain background character A!"

Minami Aoba was troubled. She had no particular strengths or things she wanted to do. Is it okay for her high school life to end as such an ordinary supporting character!?

Leaving school behind, Minami searches for her own "special uniqueness." She stumbles upon the nearby golf practice range by chance. Approached by part-time worker Haruka Akane, Minami grasps the golf club—the "utility."

And thus, it was the encounter between Minami and golf.

Winning is not the only thing in golf! Everything related to golf is enjoyable!

Together with the genius golfer Haruka and Ayaka Hoshimi, who aspires to be an influencer, they seek the moment when they can become the "protagonist"! As a super beginner, Minami swings her club once again today.

PS: You know you have anime brainrot when OP ED means "opening/ending" and not "opposite of the editorial page"

I'm not skilled enough to do these. Otherwise I would have done them lol... but what fanart do you want to see; maybe stuff that you want to draw if you have the skill, or plan to commission?

Here's mine

• Violet Evergarden: A 70s' World Masterpiece Theater version of a screencap/poster. Got that idea while I was watching Anne of Green Gables.
• K-On x Bocchi the Rock: Azusa meeting PA-san while they're both in high school

The sidebar says

This community is the place to discuss and ask questions about anime, anime news, and related topics

Emphasis mine. Episode discussions are created here constantly, so what's the problem with linking a full legal episode of an anime?

The idea that if it was a trailer it would be fine is ridiculous

Some excerpts:

About Record of Lodoss War's origins:

Record of Lodoss War originally started as a TTRPG Replay, a written transcript of a tabletop RPG (TTRPG), with the first Lodoss War stories being a Replay for a Dungeons & Dragons campaign.

Reading the original Replays is oddly endearing. I expected the chit-chat, playful snipes at the DM, or even the reading of dice rolls to be cut out in order to make the players’ adventure read like an actual narrative and not a transcription. All of that stays in the Lodoss Replays, however. Everything from excitedly reading out dice results to the players’ reactions to twists in the narrative, to character creation itself, is kept in the text.

About its influence on Japanese TTRPGs:

Besides the good that Record of Lodoss War did for Group SNE as a company and the aesthetics of anime itself, it was also good for fostering a small but dedicated community of TTRPG aficionados in Japan. TTRPG Replays are still very much alive and well, although many of them are being replaced by Twitch VODs and YouTube videos.

Tabletop RPGs are still enjoyed as a pastime in Japan. Since Sword World [game created by Lodoss War author] dropped, Japanese game designers have produced a plethora of TTRPGs, including fantasy games like Alshard and Arianhrod, which both use their own versions of 2d6 dice systems, similar to Sword World. Both games are distinct from SW, with Alshard taking its imagery from Norse mythology and Arianhrod feeling more like Ragnarok Online than D&D, but they are still high fantasy games at their core.

About its influence on fantasy anime:

In much the same way that Fist of the North Star or Saint Seiya changed the shonen battle subgenre, or how Rose of Versailles changed romance manga, Record of Lodoss War brought a lot of key narrative and design elements to the foreground. The Lodoss aesthetic of flowing capes, long hair whipping around in the wind, and chitinous armour has been recreated and lampooned over the years.

Premieres sometime in 2025. The new PV is here. Check out the ANN article for additional information. This is an adaptation of a game by the same name. A short description of the game from the article:

Let's walk and talk.

Can you get up?

The Gnosia lie. Pretending to be human, they'll get in close, trick and deceive, and then eradicate each person in the vicinity from the universe, one victim at a time.

The crew of a drifting spaceship, facing off against a mysterious and deadly threat known as the “Gnosia” and having no idea who among them is really the enemy, formulate a desperate plan for survival. The most suspicious among them will be put into “cold sleep” one by one, in an effort to completely rid the ship of Gnosia.

However, it is almost impossible to tell whether each person put into cold sleep was really Gnosia – or simply a poor, unfortunate scapegoat, sacrificed by the Gnosia for their own survival. Can the humans emerge victorious? Or is mankind doomed...?
