RULES (updated 01/22/25)
- Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling. To be concise, disrespect is defined by escalation.
- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible. You won't be punished for trying.
- Avoid controversial topics (politics or societal debates come to mind, though we are not saying not to talk about anything that resembles these). There's a guide in the protocol book offered as a mod model that can be used for that; it's vague until you realize it was made for things like the rule in question. At least four purple answers must apply to a "controversial" message for it to be allowed.
- Keep it clean and SFW: No illegal content or anything gross and inappropriate. A rule of thumb is if a recording of a conversation put on another platform would get someone a COPPA violation response, that exact exchange should be avoided when possible.
- No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc. The chart redirected to above applies to spam material as well, which is one of the reasons its wording is vague, as it applies to a few things. Again, a "spammy" message must be applicable to four purple answers before it's allowed.
- Respect privacy as well as truth: Don’t ask for or share any personal information or slander anyone. A rule of thumb is if something is enough info to go by that it "would be a copyright violation if the info was art" as another group put it, or that it alone can be used to narrow someone down to 150 physical humans (Dunbar's Number) or less, it's considered an excess breach of privacy. Slander is defined by intentional utilitarian misguidance at the expense (positive or negative) of a sentient entity. This often links back to or mixes with rule one, which implies, for example, that even something that is true can still amount to what slander is trying to achieve, and that will be looked down upon.

I'm pretty sure there's an anime out there that you'd enjoy, if only because the genre is so wide and deep.
That being said: my anime 'why did I finish this??' is Aldnoah Zero, as well as A Certain Scientific Railgun. Kinda bad in the great scheme of things but I kept going for some reason.
I think Aldnoah Zeros physics-accurate fighting got me to enjoy the fights even if the story was utterly trash. It's like seeing a spec of gold in a pile of shit.
Ex: I forgot why they were fighting the lightning mech. But the main character tethers himself to the lightning mech then hovers. As long as he's at the same electric potential as the mech, it's impossible for the lightning to hit him (and as long as he's not touching the ground or other large sources of electron storage, he's insulated from the effects).
Did it matter much? No. This was like a 2 minute fight and the story otherwise sucked. But some anime director put a LOT of thought into the physics of this anime. And I was here to enjoy the 2 minutes of that per episode lol.
As a Trekkie I do appreciate when they go hard on the small details like that. This is a book series but Lightbringer by Brent Weeks for that insane magic system also gets my love for the same reasons.
