Hi there! It doesn't look like you're a member of World of Anime yet. (Either that or you aren't logged in)
If you are not a member, we'd love to have you! Please join the world's best anime community site, and start having fun today!
Welcome to World of Anime!
World of Anime is an anime community site created just for anime fans, and the best place for meeting new friends who all share your love of anime!
I have a problem with always tweaking and tuning my gaming PC to be the best it can be so I can play horribly difficult games without lag that raise my blood pressure needlessly so I can be the best knowing there is not a single soul on earth who cares about any of these achievements... and I occasionally like to bake.
I am best friends with LordDeath, Duck, Culusion, and Shizaku. A lot of people are friends with members of the opposite sex, though there are religions that oppose it, often stating their specific reasons in their teachings. While some individuals are against it simply to be against it, even they have their underlying reasons, whether rooted in their personal mindset or past traumas.
Circling back to this dead horse again? Listen, some cultures don't even let same genders change in the same room together because it's gross. You assume that's a general rule but it's not. There are many people who don't want to change in front of anyone. So instead of outlawing separation I say we go in the other direction and make it normal not to change in front of anyone regardless of gender. Now find a new subject to disgust the rest of us with because we're getting bored of this one.
It usually comes down to standard personal boundaries, modesty, and social norms surrounding potential attraction or discomfort between mixed genders, which creates a different dynamic than same-sex friends changing together.
That said, since this point has already been discussed before, it's best to respectfully drop the subject and move on from it.
This is a 100% troll, I can not believe that a human being is like this. I know there's people like this. But I refuse to believe this guy is one lol he reminds me of a troll friend I have. How he says the rules are unfair, and is confused about this whole conversation, and the constant incest thing. I tried to make a response, after he replied to my last comment, because I was going somewhere with it, but I really had nothing good to say .. So, I didn't say anything else after that .. but then that made me realize. This guy is most definitely trying to get a reaction and attention. Lol
In my continued effort to give people an easy way to see what World of Anime members are up to, and find people to connect with, I have created the World of Anime Community page.
This page gives you an overall view of everyone's Now Actions (the ones you set on your profile), everyone who has created a customized profile, written a blog, written an anime review, created a watchlist, joined a group, asked or answered a question, or has uploaded an image to a gallery.
There are also quick links in each section for you to do those actions yourself, to help contribute to the community.
There is also a link to the advanced member search where you can look through all World of Anime members, and search by name, gender, about me, and favorite anime, movies, or video games.
You can find this page by going to the community icon in the top navigation bar (next to chat) or by clicking "Community" in the dropdown menu.
I hope you find this feature helpful in seeing what the community is doing, and helps you find people to connect with. As always, I hope you all enjoy World of Anime!
The old World of Anime was not moderated to the extent that it should have been. Its largely "anything goes" environment attracted the wrong crowd of people and created an overall negative and hostile environment that eventually led me to taking the site down for my overall mental health. I will not allow that to happen again.
Read the Code of Conduct to see what is acceptable on the site. This site is intentionally a positive, safe, and friendly environment, and content that is not fulfilling of that mission is not welcome.
Because your blogs are gross and disgusting and should never have been written out at all. Meeko has been more than fair with you and has given you multiple chances at this point to stop. You need to be respectful and stop posting offensive material, and in my humble opinion, seek professional help.
When you post a blog, it sends a notification to all of your friends with a link to the blog. It also shows up on the homepage as the latest blog post. The point of the site is to be an open community and as a result content is visible to many people.
As for fairness, you are totally missing the point. I am trying to cultivate a certain type of community with a certain type of atmosphere. I know firsthand from experience what happens when you allow near complete freedom and it doesn't end well.
The original World of Anime ended because of the excessive leniency. The last year or so was very draining on me, trying to please every side and get people to calm down and ignore the problem users while also allowing the people who were causing trouble to continue. I think there were users that wanted to see just how far they could push things.
It was a difficult decision to shut down the old World of Anime, but it was a very peaceful and calming time for me afterwards. While I missed running the site and providing the opportunity for the community to find and engage with each other, I did not miss the drama one bit.
After I made the decision to begin a new chapter of World of Anime, all during the development of the site I kept a bit of doubt as to whether I really wanted to do this, because of the feelings I had towards the end of the last site. This is why I am so adamant on keeping the atmosphere positive and friendly. That is the only way this site is going to work.
This is my third version of the site. I know from experience what caused the first 2 to end, so I am doing everything I can to prevent those things from happening again. I am not dealing with the drama again. I will shut the site down again before allowing myself to be overcome with the drama of problem users.
You can complain all you want about not being "fair", but its not going to change. This is a community site and it has a Code of Conduct that users are expected to follow. If you don't like the rules, I'm sure you can find another site that will let you post whatever content you want. It is not welcome here.
Hi, welcome to the site!
If you don't mind me asking, what specifically do you find weird? And which site do you mean by the "old one"?
This site is built much more in the spirit of the original World of Anime (2009-2015) When you say the "old one", are you referring to 2015-2020? If so, it is going to be much different than that because that was a bland, off the shelf social networking site.
World of Anime is not a social networking site, it is an anime community site. I'm always trying to make things better, and I am always open to suggestions. So if you have any suggestions for how I can improve the site, please let me know. Thanks!
Introducing the World of Anime Database!
This is a feature that was in the original World of Anime, but it works quite different now. On the original site, titles and episodes had to all be manually input by users. Now the database builds itself as you search for anime.
As you are searching anime titles for your watchlist and reviews, it is building a database of anime titles and episodes. You can now see all of the anime titles in the database by clicking on the Database link in the dropdown menu.
You can either browse all titles, or browse by genre or theme.
For each title, you will see its name, type, number of episodes, when it aired, its ratings from World of Anime members, how many watchlists it is on, and if there have been any reviews written for it.
You can click on each title to go to its full info page with episodes list. From here you can rate it yourself, add episodes to your watchlist, or write a review.
If you don't see the anime you are looking for in the browse view, you can search for it with the search box at the bottom of the page. Searching for it will also add it to the World of Anime database so in the future it will be found by browsing. The more you search for anime, the bigger the database grows!
I hope you enjoy this feature, and please use it as much as possible. Just using it helps the content grow and become more useful. I would like if you would add episodes to your watchlist and write reviews, but even without doing that, you can just click on titles and quickly give them a rating.
Just wanted to let everyone know that anime search should be working reliably now in all places it is used (Watchlist, Reviews, etc...)
Please feel free to fill up your watchlist with what you have seen. And if you could please write some reviews for anime you have watched, I would appreciate it.
Thanks for being patient while I worked out the issues with anime search. There are some more features on the site coming in the future that will make use of this anime search, so it was important for me to get it working right.
Search should be working now. I have my own instance running locally. I'm still working on tweaking it so the results are better, but it is at least working.
Additionally, if you want to write a review for an anime that is already on your watchlist, that is even easier. Just go to your watchlist, click on the title, and click on the "Reviews" tab. From there, you can click the button to write a new review for that title.
Quick announcement.
I know the timing is bad since I just launched features like Watchlist and Anime Reviews, but I just discovered the service they were using in the background for search (Jikan API) is going to be going away soon. Also it seems to be giving intermittent issues with searching, so you may not see results when you search for anime.
I am actively working on getting a self hosted instance of the API running that I can use for the site, but it will take a few days to get it implemented and populated with content.
In the mean time, searching for anime may or may not return results. Again I apologize, I should have it fully working in a few days.
Announcing a new major feature to World of Anime - Anime Reviews!
This was another big feature of the original World of Anime, and I am very happy to be bringing it back to the new World of Anime.
To access reviews, click on the new Reviews link in the dropdown menu. From this page, you can see other people's reviews, or click the button to add your own. To add your own review, search for an anime title, and click the box with the title you want to review. You can either either publish your review immediately, or put it in draft mode and publish it later.
To see all of your own reviews, go to your profile and click the Reviews link in the Activities & Actions box. This is where go to publish a review you currently have in draft mode.
The reviews feature is integrated into the anime database which is being built as you search for anime to review and add to your watchlist. Each anime title now has a Reviews tab which will show all of the reviews for that title. You can also rate anime here without having to write a review.
I hope you enjoy this feature. I can't wait to read your reviews of different anime!
