I'm guessing that "bad back links" is literally referring to SA, lol.

Yeah I can really argue with calling links pointing back to our subforum here bad. Sounds about right.

I think it might be time to revise the new to anime list. Remember that this is a starter series list and not a "best" of anime list, but I think we can fit better shows on it. Some obvious changes:
Less obvious changes:
A bigger change:
Post your suggestions too and I think we can make a better list!

I'm not aware of any manga for Twelve Kingdoms. There are the books but obviously I don't think that's what would be applicable here.

Kimi ni Todoke can probably be booted from the Romance manga section as well. I'd suggest Bonnouji for its replacement, I'm surprised it's not already on there. Ugh and Skip Beat too. E: Akatsuki no Yona would make a superb Fantasy replacement for Attack on Titan. Nate RFB fucked around with this message at 16:41 on Sep 14, 2015 |

I'm actually surprised at at the Romance manga section in general. Paradise Kiss? I mean I remember the anime being fairly well received but did anyone really give a poo poo enough about the manga for it to warrant a placement there? I feel like that whole spot was written before the Shoujo/Romance thread solidified, so surely there are plenty of other choices to go with there. That said while my first thought is to throw out House of the Sun and/or My Little Monster as suggestions I'm not sure how much of that is just me pushing some of my favorites and how "newbie" friendly they'd actually be. Other random thoughts: -Kara no Kyoukai should probably be replaced. I think it's cool as poo poo but it's a bit too pretentious/weird to be a introductory sort of thing. -After thinking about it some mroe I think Fruits Basket is still a pretty good rec, after all the anime served that exact purpose IIRC when it first came out and the manga is just a better version of that.

The parakiss manga is fantastic, fairly short, and legally available. I figure those lists are for people almost entirely new to anime/manga, so those seem like decent criteria to help select stuff. E: not solid rules obviously, Bonnouji almost definitely needs to be there and it's not available to buy here at all.

Fair enough, I liked the show well enough as well I just can't remember anyone ever really talking about the PK manga. It seemed like NANA was a whole lot more popular (RIP).

I knocked out Fruits Basket because I didn't particularly enjoy it when I tried to watch it and I've heard people mention it not holding up, but yea I'm just me. My Love Story!! is very new but it feels too good and easy to appreciate to not be on the list. Also, let me know if anyone has thoughts on replacing One Outs. I think Ping Pong is definitely the kind of thing we want on the sports list but I'm not so sure on what to replace. If no one has objections I'll edit it in a few days.

Yes_Cantaloupe posted:Fruits Basket was my introduction to romance anime/manga. I'd be sad if it were replaced. Same! I still need to read the manga eventually. Yona of the Dawn is definitely a good pick for fantasy. I'd also recommend the Snow White with the Red Hair anime for the romance category - there isn't much weekly discussion about it  , but I think it's a good series to marathon!

Skip Beat needs to go. I say this as one of the probably only 3 people left on ADTRW still reading (and even still moderately enjoying) it. It's barely got any romance at all. I'd replace it with House of the Sun. I think that one is awesome, and has both extremely light hearted, funny moments, as well as well written dramatic moments. I read the Fruits Basket manga many years ago and while I don't have as much reverence to it as some people do, it's definitely a solid shoujo series and deserves to stay as an introduction. I would definitely add My Love Story to the romance anime section.

I'd bump KnT from manga, and move it to 5cm/second's spot in anime. The manga is dragging on too long, while the animation version is lovely and stops at a good point. And as much as I love 5cm it's not really all that romantic. My Love Story needs a spot too. Maybe increase it to 5 per category? This is hard since I want anything that is a favorite of mine to stay. Also, I want either Girl Friends or Sasameki Koto in the romance manga section, but neither has a page and I might just be picking favorites again!

All things being equal having MLS in Romance manga is fine since we are seemingly all in favor of purging most of the entries in there, it just feels kind of weird because it's the recent anime that's seemingly more popular. I do kinda like the KnT -> Romance anime transition, I think that makes a fair amount of sense.

All I can think of offhand are some other PA Works dramas. Maybe The Eccentric Family? To try to get some ideas, I made the mistake of looking at the myanimelist recommendations. Someone recommended Working!! because they're both set in a workplace, and someone else recommended Idolmaster because "these two are the real story about real life".

So I guess to summarize the suggestions so far (sorry if I forgot any): Sports Anime: +Ping Pong -One Outs Romance Anime: +My Love Story!! +Kimi ni Todoke -5cm per second Fantasy Anime: +Katanagatari -Kara no Kyoukai Comedy Anime: +Nichijou -Astro Fighter Sunred Sci-Fi Anime: +Lain -LOGH Psychological Anime: +Boogiepop Phantom -Death Note Romance Manga: +Bonnouji +Girl Friends +Sasameki Koto +House of the Sun -Skip Beat -Kimi ni Todoke -Fruits Basket Fantasy Manga: +Yona of the Dawn -Attack on Titan Generic: +Evangelion, Haruhi, Masaaki Yuasa, Mamoru Oshii, Satoshi Kon to the general/generic Miyazaki suggestion section My personal takes would be that I think it would be silly to force ourselves to have to stick to 4 entries so for Romance Anime I'd just let it go up to 5. I'm OK with the Fantasy Anime and Comedy Anime suggestions and would strongly oppose swapping out LOGH for Lain. I don't really have a strong opinion about Death Note but wasn't that hugely popular with a a lot of people as an introductory series? I'd say it should stay based on those merits. Most of the interesting stuff is happening in Romance Manga. I maintain that Fruits Basket should stay and personally I think we should only add one of Girl Friends or Sasameki Koto (I like SK way more so that would get my vote). Like Romance Anime I think we should just let it go to 5 entries. Not sure about Evangelion or Haruhi but a general "Directors" section would be cool. I'd also throw out Mamoru Hosoda's name into that mix. Nate RFB fucked around with this message at 16:11 on Sep 16, 2015 |

My rationale for taking logh off the list is it's too long. I would never recommend a show with that many episodes to someone just starting out, it'll scare them away.
