Mmm, so much salt in here.

Anyway, the only thing I'd do is change Pokemon Anime back to Pokemon Anime & Manga, so the focus could be both the Pokemon Anime and Manga, maybe activity would go up that way.

this is interesting
it certainly sorts out my dilemma about what to do with the leftover parts of general entertainment

the only thing i can think of that wouldn't have a place following the changes are the three or so sports threads - but if people remain interested, they could certainly vote for a sports section to replace the mall once the three months are up
particularly when the olympics start and the entire planet decides they care about sports for the month

Oops. I completely forgot about sports because I usually don't care about them enough tbh.

Science & Technology though. Convert the "Computers & Technology" section to a more generally futuristic/scientific/technology section.

What. Why. I really wouldn't want heated debates, I'd just want to chit-chat about living on Mars and curing cancer and what robots can do these days.

I... didn't know I wanted this until I read this and now I'm annoyed it isn't the case.

Debates are only a part of it. Mature discussion about news/current events, philosophy and the sciences is also quite welcome.

If manga is being lumped in with books, let's lump all other types of comics in, too, and explicitly state it.

I'd also add a sports section if these were broken out this way, but I actually have an interest in sports so that's why I'd do that.

With that in mind, if Books and Manga are together, would it not make more sense for Anime to be with Film & Television?

I also find it a little strange that Music is with Film & Television but Books aren't, as I'd argue Books and Film & Television are more similar than Music is with either.

Anime is enough of the current A&M's activity that it could sustain a section on its own, really, otherwise that would make sense.

Music is probably shoehorned in there because there's nowhere else to put it and it doesn't quite have enough activity to fully merit its own section.

WHAT

i've been trying for this for years :( literally years
I will fight whoever said no

I think Anime and Manga represent a different enough culture from just "books" and "TV" that, community-wise, it makes sense to keep A&M together as a unit. While the mediums may match, the content its self is pretty different.
Yeah, ultimately I agree with their pairing together.

Why would you think we'd get into an uprising? That's me speaking for the non-staffers there.
