A bit late but happy birthday /c/anime! Honestly, I owe @wjs018@ani.social a lot for revitilizing this community and for making it into what it is today. They've been our biggest financial contributor and have also made me aware of some significant issues with the instance in the past. Thank you for your hard work! ༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ

Aww, shucks... Here's to another year!
Thanks for the effort you and the other mods put in. It's appreciated. It's a small, but overall nice community. I don't really miss the Reddit alternative. The small size also made me more active in the comments and posts (if only a little) than I was on Reddit. It feels less like you're posting into a void, especially if you're a day or two later in the discussion posts.
Yes! I have a bit of a confession to make. I added the functionality to rikka to create the pinned post where she lists all the recent episode discussion threads because I am often a couple days late watching an episode, and I was having trouble finding old threads. So, I made it purely to help me go back into threads from a couple days ago to make a comment. I figured, if I was having trouble with it, other people probably were too.
Yeah, it's helpful, although I sometimes forget it exists
Yeah, unfortunately it is also only really convenient if you are on the ani.social instance. My most wished-for feature in lemmy is some way to link to posts/comments in an instance-agnostic way. Alas...
Oh, I don't have an issue with the links in the post even though I'm not on ani.social. The app just goes to the disc post I selected. I don't really use it in the browser
Thanks for all the work y’all have put into this place. I’ve enjoyed participating here. I certainly post quite a bit more than I ever did on /r/anime. Hope to keep this place around.
I’m not following a ton weekly this season. Dandadan is the clear winner and is amazing, a real contender for AOTY imo. Also watching Ranma 1/2 and it finally clicked in episode 3 for me. I now think it’s vastly outperforming the OG, mostly because of the improved pacing and minimal padding.
I’m waiting for Re:Zero S3 to mostly wrap before jumping in. I’d rather watch it a little quicker than weekly.
Dan Da Dan has been phenomenal so far. That and Orb have been the two shows this season that have really stood out as a clear step above everything else for me. As for waiting for something to finish before diving in, I absolutely do that sometimes. Most recently I did that with the Spice and Wolf remake and The Apothecary Diaries. If I had to pick one that I would be interested in bingeing this season after it wraps up, it would likely be Blue Box.
It's been a whole year of posting in this community! It's hard to believe it's been that long. It feels like just yesterday that I created this account after the drama surrounding the defederation from the ml instance.
Something that I mentioned briefly in the post up above, but wanted to call out once more, is that hitagi might not be nearly as visible as I am in this community, but they actually do a lot behind the scenes to keep things running. In addition to everything involved with the infrastructure of running the instance, I was just looking through the reports I have received, and roughly half of them were resolved by hitagi prior to my ever seeing them. It also works out nicely that the two of us live on basically opposite sides of the globe, meaning that we have pretty good time zone coverage. So, even if they aren't posting as much as I am (I mean, who is really?), hitagi has been a vital part of keeping things running smoothly here.
As a sort of unofficial celebration of the anniversary, I am happy to do a kind of mini-AMA in this thread if people have any questions for me that are on their mind (either anime-related or not).

Crazy to see Netflix own 4 of the top 10 animes in reddit karma. They really seem to be going strong on anime as a growth engine.
Yeah, Netflix has been stepping up their anime game. They have gotten on board (mostly) with the weekly release schedule and even agreed to co-license a series like Dragonball Daima so that it also releases on Crunchyroll. I was worried that Crunchyroll was becoming a bit of a monopoly after the Funimation merger, but honestly Netlix is probably putting up a better fight than HiDive right now.
Probably best case scenario as a fan to be honest. Crunchyroll still is the best value for money (at least in the US) but having a big player like Netflix around should keep them on their toes. Netflix also treats anime so much better than Disney or Amazon.
