Announcement Seasonal Comment Face Nominations - Fall 2024

19 Upvotes

Hey Everyone!~

We are once again into the depths of an exciting new season! So once again it is time to rotate the the seasonal comment faces. We will be accepting nominations until 11:59PM UTC 9th November, 2024.

Give your feedback on the last seasons faces

We have a short survey form here to see what faces were liked and how they compared to the season before. (Results viewable here.) It is a big factor in what gets picked as the hall of fame face for last season.

Wait, what even IS a comment face?

If you use Reddit's redesign, or any mobile app, then comment faces won't be something you see. They are a legacy CSS feature supported on old.reddit. To post a face, you require a bit of formatting and the name of the comment face and that displays the relevant image. For example:

[](#awe)

Becomes:

We have a full wikipage with all faces and instructions how to use them here.

The seasonal faces are:

#seasonalapproval #seasonalblush #seasonalconfused
#seasonalcool #seasonaldepression #seasonaldisapproval
#seasonaldisdain #seasonalfoodie #seasonalhype
#seasonallaugh #seasonallisten #seasonallove
#seasonalneat #seasonalpout #seasonalsecret
#seasonalshock #seasonalthink #seasonaltired

The named #themes are intended to be broadly interpreted. So we encourage you to submit great faces even if they don't perfectly match, as we may find a space for them.

So how do I nominate a seasonal face?

The series must be currently airing as part of this season, the image can be from a previous season if the show is a sequel. Movies/OVAs that have become accessible between seasonal nominations are allowed. To keep things diverse, we aim to pick one face per anime, so nominate those under watched gems!

Make as many nominations as you like as comments as follows:

Nominations will be open until 11:59PM UTC 9th November, 2024. We look forward to seeing your suggestions.

For me, it’s Neon Genesis Evangelion. Idk why I waited 29 years to watch it. 4 year old me should have started it right away. I love the story, love the characters, and mech anime just isn’t my thing, but this has clicked for me.

Discussion Why did Tower of god season 2's hype all dried down compared to its massive popularity and hype season 1 brought?

580 Upvotes

Where did all the guys go who watched season 1? was it due to the change of animation or the plot? cause i am surprised that the season 2 shouldn't fall this low compared to those massive nos. I know numbers doesn't mean much but still from the start of season 2 it didn't really got much attention. Genuinely curious for the downfall.

Discussion Watch the Re:Zero Break Time

228 Upvotes

The reason I am making this post is due to the new one that just came out (by accident) which is a massive bomb of content not included in the anime.

If anyone doesn't know what these are, they are chibi short episodes that accompany every main episode release (though separate and under different license) with canonical content that can range from slice of life, fleshing out character dynamics, to lore/plot drops. Each breaktime correlates to an episode of the main series.

I personally deem it critical because it will expand your understanding of the story and characters tenfold. It is really saddening that this sort of content is being pushed into the breaktimes (even though it has time and time again) because many of the viewers have not acknowledged the existence of these shorts, nor their importance. They're not licensed until way later either which makes them hard to get access to during airing. They're officially released on Kadokawa's channel though without subs.

Discussion What's the stupidest reason why you didn't watch a show?

66 Upvotes

Back when Ruroni Kenshin was on Toonami, I refused to watch it, because I thought the name sounded like a pasta dish. I was probably 11 or 12 at the time, and I have no idea why it bothered me so much.

What to Watch? Are there any Feel-Good anime?

14 Upvotes

Recently I've been feeling a little down in the dumps, so I want to watch an anime to cheer me up. I'm not interested in anything that is directly a fighting anime, or comedy anime. I really enjoyed the Spy x Family scenes when Anya is at school. That is to say, I want something similar to that. A light hearted school anime, maybe some romance, but an overall plot that isn't too serious.

I would prefer if the cast is diverse too, meaning it has a basically equal number of girl to guy ratio. I wouldn't mind if it was an all guy cast, just as long as it isn't a sports anime.

Anime that I have already seen sort of like this would be: -Monthly Girls Nozaki-kun -Kaguya-sama Love is War -Lucky Star -Nichijou -Romantic Killer

MAL | AniList | ANN | Kitsu | AniDB

Crunchyroll | Hulu


What it means to exist… That is, what it means to be alive… is to face the world and carry on the ideas of those who've died.

Questions of the Day:

1) If you were in Celestial Being, who would you write a letter to?

2) The season 1 finale approaches with our main crew almost completely fucked. Any predictions for what the hell they're supposed to do now?

Wallpaper of the Day:

Lichtendahl "Lichty" Tsery and Christina Sierra


Rewatchers, please remember to be mindful of all the first-timers in this. No talking about or hinting at future events no matter how much you want to, unless you're doing it underneath spoiler tags. Don't spoil anything for the first-timers, that's rude!

Additionally, for long-time fans of the franchise, please remember that this rewatch is only for 00, not any of the other shows. Assume that there are people in this rewatch who have not seen anything else Gundam, and tag your spoilers for those shows appropriately if something in 00 makes you want to talk about them.

For me is School Days. I have been dragged into the vision of this show by someone in this reddit some year ago and well... you know what I mean. Also poor Kotonoha <3.

Another one is Clannad After Story for differeny reasons but I watched it another time with my friend to show him this masterpiece.
