Hey everyone. What seems to have been established itself as the main anime related instance, ani.social, has been defederated from Lemmy.ml.

I am wondering if it would be better to move this community over here so I will copy my posts from lemmy.ml here in ani.social for a while as well and then see where more engagement is happening. Since I create the posts by hand (I can’t program a bot) I don’t want to have this a permanent solution, but I’ll give it at least a few months or until it’s clear where the greener pastures are.

So basically:

  1. There is a new LightNovel community on ani.social now
  2. You can all vote where the permanent home should be by using whichever you like better.

    You do a great job with the lightnovels community over on ml. I used to be more active over there, but since starting up communities here, just haven’t had the time to check back in on ml as often.

    I still think back to how I had initially recommended Villainess Level 99 and then you hated it. Ever since then, I have been a bit more cautious in my praise for the series. It’s that kind of discourse that helps us appreciate other POVs and I hope to be able to contribute more to this community.

    Welcome to the instance (provisionally)!

    Edit: adding it to the sidebars for !anime@ani.social and !manga@ani.social

      I still think back to how…

      I think that is the point of this community. To read stuff collectively and try to find the 1% that is great. So if you think we all should share what we read and think about them and recommend the best ones.

      For me the 1% is The conqueror from a dying kingdom the cliff hanger at the end of volume 6 still kills me inside

      Thanks for helping with spreading the word!! Means a lot! The mods on .ml never added the community to the sidebar, probably because I didn’t make the guy I was in contact with a mod.

      Yes, I remember. How do you like the adaptation that’s currently running? I must say that I find it a lot easier to consume as a anime. But then again I’m in a better place right now and might be a lot more lenient to the LN as well. Maybe I pick it back up again once I’m through my backlog.

        I have been really enjoying the adaptation. It is fairly obvious that there are some severe budgetary restrictions they are working under, but I think they have been smart in their approach. Too often, LN adaptations cut out a huge portion of the internal dialogue of the character, to the story’s detriment. In this case, they have had loads of internal Yumiella internal dialogue. Not only does this mean less things you need to animate, but it also helps the humor land better because that is where the misunderstandings lie. Also, Fairouz Ai has been killing it as Yumiella, so giving her more dialogue is never a bad thing. Plus the OP and ED are both fun which is always a plus.
