Latest Anime Review
I just looked it up, and it is. It is considered hentai and it doesn't show up on the anime search on this site because I don't include hentai results.
its very good
I’m glad you like it.
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!
I need a twin sister
Sweeeet hoome Alabama...
I used to be able to post any blog I wanted on the old world of anime what happened?
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.
why cant i just post what i want in my blogs as long as i am not on the main woa page
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.
the old world of anime was fare
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.
Does anyone remember the spider-man manga in 1970 to 1971
Does everyone know that you can embed images and YouTube videos in all comments and replies in all places on the site? Embedded MP4 videos also work.
Whaaaaaaat black lagoon was taken off cruncyroll another L
You always have to own what you want physically. I recommend DVDs and Blu-rays.
I should start doing that got any recommendations for a starter
Yeah We are in the shit show now and yes I get that I should do that
The website is weird, the old one was better.
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.
Yo yo yo!!~
Yo, welcome to the site!
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.
I'm still working on getting my own instance of the Jikan API set up for the site, but as of now it looks like the public API the site is using is working again.
If someone would be willing to try out the new review feature and write a review, I would really appreciate it!
I tried but couldn't get past the search, it's saying 'Search service is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later."
That's the issue with the public API I am using, it has not been reliable lately. I'm hoping soon to be switched over to my own instance and then this hopefully won't be a problem.
I'll let you know when that happens and you can try again. Thanks for trying, though.
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.
Thanks for the update!
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!
I started Trails of Cold Steel over the weekend. After having never played a Trails game, a couple of years ago I started with the goal of playing through the entire series in order. I played Sky FC, Sky SC, Sky the 3rd, Zero, Azure, Nayuta, and now started Cold Steel. I've got some long games ahead of me.
Yes, and I love them, especially the earlier ones.
Many years ago I did the same thing where I had never played an Ys game and then decided I would play them all, in order. I have now played every one except the most recent one (Nordics)
The Oath in Felghana has been my favorite. I played it on PSP.
Wow, I just read the news that Sony is going to stop production of physical Playstation games starting January 2028.
As a lifelong video game player, and die hard physical media fan, this is sad news for me.
It's sad because I have been getting more games on PS5 specifically because I didn't like Switch 2 game key cards. When a game on Switch 2 is a game key card, I have been getting the PS5 physical version instead. Now that option will be going away in less than 2 years. Hopefully more games start coming out as proper cartridge releases on Switch 2 and not game key cards.
Hey everyone - I just wanted to let you know of a new feature I just launched - Member Search.
I'm trying to create ways to make it easier to find people to connect with, and I think Member Search will help a lot.
You can either click the little search icon at the top of of the page, or Members in the drop down navigation. From here you will initially see the newest members, with a filter box you can use to quickly narrow down users by username.
And if you click the "Advanced Search" button you can search members by all sorts of fields from their user profile. Click "Search" again at the bottom and the results will be replaced with the results from your search, which you can once again filter by username.
I hope this helps in finding World of Anime members to connect with.
I am very happy to announce a brand new feature on World of Anime - Watchlists!
With this feature, you can now compile a list of anime you have watched, and they will show up on your profile page.
This is a major step in being able to find people with similar interests, or who have shared similar anime viewing experiences as you. You can easily view a users entire watchlist, and by clicking on the anime title, you can also see which other members have it on their watchlist.
To start building your watchlist, just click on the new "Watchlist" item in the dropdown menu. You will see your watchlist here which you can view, edit, or add to. There is a filter box which will filter your watchlist down in real time, as your watchlist grows. To add new anime to your watchlist, use the "Manage Watchlist" button.
You will once again see the anime you have watched, along with a search box at the top. Search for anime here. The search uses the Jikan API which is an unofficial proxy for MyAnimeList.
Click on a title to view information about it, and you can add the episodes you have watched (or use the Select All checkbox to easily add all) Then click Update Watchlist.
When looking at a watchlist (either your own or another member's) you can click on a title to see information about it, along with an Episode List and Watchlists tab. On the Episodes tab, it will show how many of the episodes you have watched. You can click that button to go into edit mode to edit the episodes that are on your own watchlist. This makes it super easy to add new episodes as you are watching a series. You can also click the Watchlists tab to see a list of all members who have this title on their watchlist.
I hope you enjoy this feature! By keeping your watchlist up to date it should make it a lot easier to see what others have watched and find people who have watched the same anime as you. Hopefully this becomes a great conversation starter for meeting new people and making new friends!
I love to see it!!!
i need a twin sister
Enjoy the process of every job, don't be too hasty. And the development period, which will always be a memory in every moment together. And this is more than enough and a very good and valuable result.
I made a Wuthering Waves group if anyone wants to join!
Announcing the biggest new feature to come to the new World of Anime yet - Anime Groups! You can access this on the dropdown navigation bar under "Groups"
This was a major piece of the original World of Anime and I am so happy to bring it back for the new World of Anime!
Anime Groups are a great way for you to join a community of people who share similar interests. If you don't see a group that fits you, you can start your own!
All groups have their own group profile page with comments and replies.
All groups have their own image galleries.
All groups have their own chat! This works just like the main World of Anime chat but is restricted just to members of the group.
All groups can be customized with their own appearance, similar to the way that user profile's can be customized. A new customization I have added is Cursor, which you can use to create a custom cursor that users will see on your group.
(Note: Some people find custom cursors to be incredibly annoying, so to counter that I have added another new setting all users can set. Go to Settings and you will see a checkbox called "No Custom Cursors" If you set that, then you will not see customized cursors)
There are 3 types of groups - Public, Request, and Private
Public - Anyone can join at any time. Groups will show up on the main Groups page and search.
Request - Users must request to join a group. An admin of the group must approve or reject the request. Groups will show up on the main Groups page and search.
Private - Users must be invited to a group by a group admin in order to join. These groups will not show up on the main Groups page or search.
On user profile pages, you will see a new section called Groups which lists all groups the user belongs to. This is a great way for you to find and connect with people who have similar interests to you, and a way to find new groups to join. Note that private groups you are a member of will not show up in this list.
I hope you like this feature. I have spent a long time working on it, and I believe it is one of the fundamental pieces of World of Anime long term.
Okay, you outdid yourself this time, Meeko. This feature is amazing and I have to say you thought of everything. I think this is going to be the best feature for years to come.
Thanks! I'm glad you like it.
I'm already at work on the next major feature.
Incredible stuff!
Can't sleep. Thinking about a friend and how close we were 7 years ago and now we barely talk. It's quite sad... she was my best friend for over a decade.
Yooooo
