Previous Thread | Next Thread

A new Monday means it is a new general discussion thread. We are at or near the halfway point of the season for most of the winter shows. I plan on dedicating next week’s thread to a midterm report of sorts, so look forward to it! In the meantime, please use this thread to talk about what you have watched recently, any questions you might have, recommendations, or whatever else strikes your fancy. Like usual, a couple examples:

  • Are there any shows with more suggestive eyecatches than Bravern?
  • Is Metallic Rouge some elaborate experiment to see how long an audience will watch pretty nonsense?
  • Is Kensuke from Dungeon Meshi basically a Pokemon that Laios uses to fight?

As always, remember to be mindful of spoilers. If you want to know more about how to handle spoilers in this community, check the guide here (also linked in the sidebar).

    How about this idea for the bot:

    1. x weeks before a new season, post a list of shows and have people vote on shows they’ll watch.
    2. every show that gets >1 vote will have discussion thread created by the bot weekly.
    3. bot will stop creating threads for shows that have no engagement for y consecutive weeks.
    4. have some way to restart shows after they are suspended (e.g. have user PM the bot with some command)
    5. when shows are started mid-season or restarted, the first thread created will be discussion for all previously omitted episodes, like this:

    For shows voted on:

    • First 4 weeks, bot creates discussion threads for ep.1, 2, 3, 4
    • bot stop due to no engagement
    • somebody requests restart when ep 7 aired
    • bot creates one discussion thread for ep. 5-7
    • next week, bot creates discussion thread for ep. 8

    For shows with no vote initially:

    • First 3 weeks, no discussion thread
    • somebody requests show when ep 4 aired
    • bot creates one discussion thread for ep 1-4
    • next week, bot creates discussion thread for ep. 5

    This is so we don’t have several low-traffic threads (in the first example ep 5, 6, 7 threads when only 1 person requested, probably to talk about ep 7) created at the same time, but still have a place to discuss every episode when people pick up a show mid-season.
