Noon
Ace of Blades
It's barely been a day since the anime section opened up, and there's already a ton of threads requesting recommendations - like this one, that one, this other one, and a few more. People note down their favourite genre and the series they've already watched, then ask for suggestions based on their personal preferences. That's cool. I get why people do it; I've done it a fair few times myself on various forums outside of RpNation. But here's the problem: it's already getting old. At some point, everyone's going to get tired of asking the same questions and writing the same answers all the time.
So let's make a spoiler-free index of anime recommendations.
We're never going to eliminate request threads, but I'd bet that we can save ourselves a few headaches by keeping all of our suggestions in one place. It doesn't matter how mainstream, weird, good or bad you think a series is. If we can add a no-spoilers synopsis for every anime we can think of (preferably just one entry per movie/series), we'll have somewhere to look when we need something new to watch. Think MyAnimeList, but more direct.
