I was going to say her outfit feels anachronistic, but in reality it’s her standard wear that’s anachronistic, isn’t it? I’ve got it backwards because I’m used to seeing the characters drawn in the clothes you see them wearing in their sprites.

Although still, the shirt reminds me more of older time periods while the rest is all pretty modern.

This almost feels like I am looking at fanmade fighting game sprites…

You should probably tell !touhou@lemmy.world and !touhou@ani.social.

Something about the coloring just hits right

Thanks for your elaboration! As you can probably guess I never looked at the equivalent Reddit communities, so I didn’t make my assumption off that, just off what I saw when I was first exploring https://ani.social—largely posts of anime women. Although I was aware “moe” can encompass things that don’t titillate as well as those that do, the presence of certain communities made me assume that the posts leaned more that way. I’m definitely not saying my assumptions are correct, as you have proven, but since you mod I thought you might want to know where my faulty assumptions came from.

I appreciate that you allow posts of other genders too! I am thinking back to when I posted a male tsundere on r/tsunderes forever ago and it died in New 😅

I am more the type to want to discuss specific anime fandoms I like than just general-purpose anime pictures, but I recognize the promotion of other communities and appreciate the work you are putting in to keep communities afloat/in the public eye :) Thank you for replying! I appreciate the effort.

Originally ignored all the Moe communities as a woman not romantically/sexually interested in my own gender. Saw this on Local, maybe I should check this community for outfit inspiration, that skirt caught my attention and I want it

Wonder if Mystia helped her set up the shopfront.

Was reading this, then got busy. Glad to be reminded this existed!

I like to promote topic-specific instances so also !anime@ani.social

I also really enjoy the artstyle! Glad to see a S2 come out, wonder if it’ll follow the manga or not

!otomegames@ani.social !touhou@lemmy.world !visualnovels@lemmy.comfysnug.space (lemmy.comfysnug.space) !visualnovels@ani.social

Ahhh, text that looks nice, like old AA, instead of the remakes with text displayed in a way that just annoys me. Sounds like something I’d like :)

Always enjoy when VNs give you gameplay in addition to the usual “read and click a choice” gameplay.

I’m not a lesbian but will definitely be trying the demo! I enjoy RPGs, certain kinds of VNs, and queer stories.

I just checked the community a little more and that was kind of a dumb question of me because you have posted there before 😅 thanks for the answer, it is on my MyAnimeList now as Plan to Read! Curious if it is more a comedy or if it turns out dark as the summary suggests.

Wondering if I should make a new otome isekai community here, it might get more engagement as they are indeed anime and manga. Although some are manwha which might not be allowed as that is Korean and not Japanese and this instance’s sidebar says

For all things anime and other related Japanese media such as manga, games, vtubers, and light novels.

However, given some of them are manga and anime, it should be okay to let manwha in as it follows the genre. I’d feel really bad and frankly annoyed excluding manwha that fits the genre.

Thanks for the “mostly fanart posts” disclaimer. Back on Reddit and now on Lemmy, a big issue I have with anime communities is it is often just Pixiv/Twitter/Danbooru art reposts. It is kind of annoying because I want to talk about the anime, not see art reposts. Yes, I understand Lemmy is a link aggregator and so that is a valid use of Lemmy, and my frustration is likely an uncommon opinion given this is how most anime communities are and there seems to be lots of upvoting and little pushback. Guess that’s what !episode_discussion@ani.social is for, but you would still think you would find more discussion about AnimeName on the community named AnimeName. All goes to say, thank you for that disclaimer!

What manga is that from?

Another !otomeisekai@lemmy.world enjoyer? 👀 I love that manga genre so much. I have so much to read in it, although because I am the way I am I have started not allowing myself to read anything incomplete—otherwise I’ll binge read it all in one night and then forget to come back to it later on for new chapters.

Oh my. Just got here from Local and now I am shoving yet another anime on my To Watch list…

Likewise. I watch anime for entertainment, and if that means I miss an influential series (whether due to lack of time or just plain old lack of interest) I’m fine with it.

I do tend to be somewhat picky but it also means that I rarely end up feeling like I wasted my time watching a show—I am fairly aware of my own tastes and what I might like and dislike, though I can 100% still be surprised, and so I usually end up picking shows I’d actually like. I might have excluded some I’d like but I have also excluded shows I would feel I wasted my time by watching, so… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
