On Anime

While Anime is a beloved animation style with a rich history and extensive following, our focus here leans towards other forms of animation. This is due to the immense popularity of Anime in online spaces, which is amply covered by other dedicated communities.

This doesn't mean that Anime related conversation is not allowed here, only that it's not our focus. For a dedicated Anime instance, check out ani.social.

On Technical Discussion

While our primary goal is to discuss animated media, conversations about animation techniques and the process of creating animation are also welcome. Whether you're a budding animator seeking to understand more about the industry, or a seasoned professional sharing your experiences, you're welcome here.

I loved the Shrek movies. 1 was amazing. 2 was on the same level. 3 was pretty good, but not as good as the ones before it. 4 was entertaining but didn't feel like a Shrek movie at all. It really could have been told outside of the Shrek world and stood on its own.

But at this point the series is nearly a quarter of a century old. It's a good sign that they're not doing an alternate timeline type of deal, but I'm not super hopeful that the story will still be good.

I'll watch it simply because puss in boots was amazing. I'm not actually super hopeful that shrek 5 will be good though.
