Updated rules regarding sourcing of fanart and posting of AI imagery
This thread is for the 2 new rules mentioned in this changelog Hello, first off we would like to apologize for being so slow to enact the following policies but as of today two new rules have been added to the AniList guidelines. Please note that this explanation will not cover every scenario that may occur. The first being that fanart being shared on the site should have a source from the artist linked alongside the fanart. An exception to this rule is if the fanart is being used in an Avatar by a user or in a banner by a User. The second rule is that AI imagery will not be allowed to be shared on our platform. An exception to this will be in cases where it is being shared for commentary such as a user talking about an artist being found out about using AI and sharing images to demonstrate it. Simply posting a status and saying some variation of “Thoughts?” or “This is crazy how believable this is” will not clear this exception. We recommend reverse image search tools like https://saucenao.com/ to find the original upload of an image, for ease of use they also make a browser addon where you can right click an image and be given a handful of search options. If a user can legitimately not find the source material for an artwork then all they need to do is state that clearly in the post. Both of these new rules will *not* be applied retroactively. An exception to this is fanart or AI imagery that a user has used to create an “event badge” and that the event thread containing the badge is still being actively updated with new events. In this instance a moderator will inform the user that they need to include sources for fanart used in their badges. Due to the amount of previous badges that may have been made, users will be given 3 months to find and include the source link for the image. For AI imagery used in event badges, in threads that are being actively updated those badges will be removed. A core reason for why we are implementing the above policies is that artists should be credited for the work that they do. That if a user is going to receive likes or follows for what they post here then at the very least they should give a direct link to the artist who is doing the actual work. We are aware that many users may end up sharing AI imagery without realizing that it is such. We have no interest in removing something just because it has been accused of being AI without a strong foundation. In many cases the original poster will have the art tagged as such on the post or in the bio of their account. Identifying AI imagery will always be changing but currently there are a handful of typical indicators, such as any repeating features that will typically trip up AI. General inaccuracies and incongruencies in an image or video may also be an indication of such. As is the case with mild rule infractions, such as unintentionally spoiling someone, unintentionally posting images that violate ecchi or nsfw rules, unintentionally violating rules on piracy, etc. it will typically take multiple instances in a short span of time to ever reach any level of punishment on the site. Any user who makes a sincere effort to credit the artists who they are sharing the art of and to not share AI imagery should never see any restrictions being placed on their account. Users who simply don’t care or intentionally violate these rules however will likely see restrictions placed on their accounts if they do not change their posting habits and behavior. The intention of this forum thread is for users to ask questions and potentially make minor adjustments to the new rules

Anime Submissions Temporarily Closing
Hello everyone, I was planning on announcing this in advance so users could make any submissions they were plannings or working on before shutting them down but given recent site issues pertaining to search 123, new anime submissions are currently closed due. In addition, 24 hours from now anime submissions pertaining to editing existing entries will also be closed. The reason for both is to help clear out the backlog on anime submissions. Sorry for the issues this will cause.

AniList Guidelines & Data Submissions
These guidelines are at the interpretation of the mods and admins of the site. Ignoring any of these guidelines may result in content being removed, locked, or even your account being banned from AniList. We may alter these guidelines from time to time without an announcement. However, in most circumstances, any changes will be announced to the community beforehand. If you have any questions or suggestions regarding our guidelines, please create a topic with the “Site Feedback” tag or ask in the sitesupport channel on Discord , and we will get back to you. General Site Guidelines Copyrighted content: Linking or guiding others to illicit copyrighted content is prohibited. This includes streaming websites/apps, torrents, direct downloads, etc. Mature Content: Media classified as “Ecchi” must be shared in spoiler tags and must be labeled as such outside the tags. Media classified as “NSFW” is outright disallowed from being shared on the site. **Ecchi** images contain pantsu, lingerie, underwear, or other questionable content. The following list is not allencompassing but should give you a general idea: **Underwear or lingerie**, both fully or mostly visible. A tiny glimpse, such as the top of a bra cup, bra straps, or the top band of underwear, is generally fine. **Clothe outlines** that can not be distinguished from nipples. **Fetish content** such as bondage, latex, armpits, feet, etc. **Sexually suggestive poses/framing**. **Undressing to nude** or mostly nude. **Excessive** “sideboob”, “underboob”, or cleavage. **NSFW** images are considered **NSFW** if they contain real graphic violence or explicit nudity of any kind. The following list is not allencompassing but should be a general idea of what to avoid: **Detailed Clothe outlines** such as cameltoe, areolas that can be distinguished from nipples, or a crotch bulge clearly distinguished as a penis and balls. **Depictions of sexual acts**, regardless of nudity and including partial/cropped images, even if no genitals or other erogenous zones are shown. **Bodily fluids** such as semen, precum, vaginal discharge, fetishized lactation, fetishized blood, realistic feces, realistic vomit, or realistic urine. Any fluids meant to be intentionally mistaken for the others and used in a sexual context will be treated as the liquid they are attempting to imitate. **Nudity** such as exposed pubic hair, pubic regions, exposed female nipples/areola , bare breasts , or bare buttocks. **Clothed crotches** that take up the majority of the frame. **Sexual or sexually implied images of childlike characters.** Given the age of a character, the stated age should be immaterial; what is important is the visual design of the character in that image. **Real graphic violence** such as extreme amounts of blood, gore, or violence. User Behaviour: Trolling, harassing, or abusing users will not be tolerated. Context will always matter around a possible infraction. Conspiring with others or harassing an underprivileged class may result in harsher punishments than the reverse. Some examples of what can be considered harassment are as follows: Repeatedly sending insulting messages. Dogpiling. Any statement that is prejudiced against a group of people, such as but not limited to race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, or religion. Evading another user's block regardless of the reason for blocking. Telling another user they should kill themselves or that they should die. Sending another user intentionally disturbing images or sending them intentionally disturbing statements. Posting racist, homophobic, transphobic, ableist, xenophobic, religious discrimination, or illegal content is prohibited. Making light of or glorifying nonfictional violence is prohibited. Doxxing another user is prohibited. Doxxing can include publicizing private or identifying information such as, but not limited to, names, addresses, phone numbers, work information, imagery, etc. Accounts must not impersonate other people or users. Offensive user names, bios, avatars, and banners will be removed. This typically is just an extension of our current rules against various forms of bigotry. Graphic and overtly sexual conversations should not be had in public spaces . It’s not something we want minors stumbling onto, so keep it private. This does not give any allowance to images, that would otherwise not be allowed, to be shared or linked to in these private conversations. Spoilers: All spoilers should be contained within spoiler tags and state what work they are a spoiler of . Spam Any posts or statuses deemed as spam by a mod will be removed. Some examples of what may be considered spam are below. Please note this is not an allencompassing list: Copypastas. Posts made to be excessively long by including purposeless content or padding. Repeated posts of the same or similar message with little value or the intent to annoy . Making many posts in a short time span. Sending the same message to many people. Pinging an excessive amount of people. Don't make accounts solely for posting unless permission has been given by a member of staff. Do not repost activity to skew the home page feed. Advertising: Any unsolicited text intended specifically to promote/generate traffic to external websites will be removed. Occasional status posts to share one's blogs, videos, twitters, chat servers, etc are not a violation of this rule. However, more platformed portions of the site, such as reviews and forum threads, will have lower tolerances for what is permitted and should not be used for advertising one's own work in nearly any way. An exception can be granted to users who create something related to AniList. Please use the Content Creators General thread if you've like to show off something you've created. General: Do not abuse AniList systems or features . While users are permitted to create plugins/extensions that modify various aspects of the sites , such extensions must follow the following rules: They should not interfere with general expected use of site features. Should not obfuscate what is and isn’t allowed on AniList, such as removing any links to the rules on the site. Should not interfere with site advertisements. Must comply with API Terms of use. Must use a uniquely identifiable header per plugin for API requests. Should not create large amounts of API requests or create exceptionally longrunning API requests. Should not interfere with or degrade the value of donatoronly features. Should not allow shared custom scripts or advanced custom styling that may allow for XSS, compromised authentication, personal data leaking, or other vulnerabilities. Should not allow shared unrestricted custom styling that may interfere with normal use of the site . Should not have noticeably adverse effects on the clientside performance or general loading times of the site. If you share fanart of any kind, make sure you post the source of the art. An exception to this is that a source does not need to be stated for user’s avatars or banners. In the event that the source is no longer available please state such when posting. Reverse image search engines, such as https://saucenao.com/ can be helpful in finding an original upload. Some examples where users typically share fanart on the site: Status posts and replies Forum threads and forum posts A user’s ‘About Me’ In ‘Event Badges’ AI generated images are not permitted to be shared on the site. If AI imagery is shared with the intent of commentary of some sort then this will typically be allowed at moderator's discretion. **Link shorteners** are not allowed. Please use markdown instead. Do not post **excessively fast flashing colors** or imagery without hiding them behind spoiler tags and tagging them appropriately. Claiming other people's work as your own is not allowed. This may include, but is not limited to, art, videos, and posts. **Ban evasion** is not permitted and will typically result in an even harsher restriction being placed on your account. Some examples of behavior that may be considered as “ban evasion”, this list is not allinclusive: Using an alternative account to perform the limited actions. Having another user send messages in your stead. Misusing any AniList functions to circumvent the restrictions. Forum Guidelines Language: For now, all new threads and replies should be in English apart from a single general discussion thread for other languages. Titles: Please don't post thread titles all in caps. Quality Titles: Thread titles should be descriptive and accurate to the thread's content. Users should be able to get a general understanding of the thread by its title alone. Forum thread titles should be free of spoilers. All forum tags should be relevant to the thread. Thread quality: Refrain from posting “Where can I find/watch/read...?” threads. Recommendation threads should be as specific as possible and replies should be relevant. If you are just wanting titles that are similar to a specific entry, please refer to the recommendation section on an entries page. Threads should have a clear purpose for existing and aim to incite meaningful discussion. Threads with little meaning should be posted as activity posts instead. Such threads can include, but are not limited to: Arbitrary “this or that” threads. Onesided threads. Threads made just for ranting or to incite anger/troll others. Hyperspecific threads that aren’t meaningfully different from other already existing threads. Questionnaire/survey threads. Duplicates/Spam: Duplicate topics will be removed or merged with an already existing thread – use the search function before posting, and if a thread about your topic exists, please post in the existing thread instead of making a new one. Likewise, do not post in an existing thread solely for the intention of reviving it, otherwise known as “necroing”. Posting in inactive threads is allowed, so long as it adds meaningful discourse and continues the discussion. Please edit posts instead of successive posting when possible. Spoilers: All spoilers on the forums should be contained within spoiler tags unless it is within an episode discussion thread where spoilers for that episode and previous episodes are allowed. Foreign Language Threads Filipino Spanish/Español Portuguese/Português Italian/Italiano Arabic/العربية French/Français Romanian/Română Japanese/日本語 Ukranian/українська German/Deutsch Russian/русский Indonesian Hungarian/Magyar Polish/Polski Reviews Completed Works Animated works, manga, light novels, etc should have finished releasing except for the following exceptions: The work must have been releasing for at least two years. or A work may be reviewed if it has stopped releasing for at least 6 months and does not have any official announcement on it continuing. Dropped Works Reviews of works that users have dropped are permitted, in the event that they have seen/read at least 75% of it, rounding up. Reviews of dropped works must follow the other rules with regards to currently releasing titles. Spoilers: If your review contains spoilers, either preface the review with a warning or use spoiler tags. Review length: The minimum character count is there for a reason, do not pad your review to reach it. Plagiarism: Only post reviews that were written by yourself, plagiarised reviews will be deleted and may lead to a review ban. This includes using AI to generate/assist in writing reviews. Basic grammar: Please try to follow basic grammar rules. There's no need for it to be perfect, but the average user shouldn't have to struggle to understand your review. Images: Images should only be used if they support the text in some way. Fanart is not to be used in reviews. Review Quality: Do not comment on fans of a work or detractors of a work, in either a positive or negative fashion. Do not simply summarize the work. Do not criticize the score or popularity of the work. Do not advertise any links that are not directly relevant to the text of the review. The review should be a review of that specific work and not for other related works. An exception can be made if its for a work that is released in a split cour schedule or some other delayed release. You are welcome to reference another review you have posted on AniList to help elaborate on some beliefs in your review.

AWC: Gacha Challenge
150 AWC Gacha Challenge 80% The Gacha Challenge is inspired by real life gacha games. Each time you play you will receive different requirements and earn yourself a random badge This makes everyone’s challenge unique, and each play different. You can repeat the challenge to pull new badges, upgrade badges and earn more challenge points. Don't worry though, unlike real life gacha, there is no currency involved here. You can play as many times as you like: the only thing you must invest is the time you spend watching anime We currently have 5 badge characters to collect Each has 4 levels of rarity, starting at N and moving through R and SR up to UR . As you earn a copy of the badge you’ll continue to progress through the upgrade path, increasing the detail of the character on the badge, adding stars that indicate its rarity, changing colours and adding in animated elements And, unlike other gachas, we can guarantee you’ll always earn something you don’t have. In other words, we’re the most freetoplay friendly gacha out there Our starting banner characters are all characters from anime that have popular gacha games, but maybe there’s a chance for some others in the future… **Past Rate Up Events** You can find previous events listed here. These events have now ended, but the requirements that were given a boosted rate during each event are still available in the applicable banners at the normal rate and frequency. **Halloween Event 2023** **Launch Period Event 2023** 40% 40% 40% 40% 90% Badges designed by AWC Staff **Rewards:** A random badge and 2 Challenge Points If you use 2 rewatches or less, you will earn 2 Challenge Points If you use 3 rewatches or more, you will earn 0 Challenge Points **Badge Levels & Rarity** Every time you complete the Gacha Challenge you will earn a random character badge Badges you earn will always have the base level rarity, which is "Normal" If you earn the same character again, the badge will be automatically upgraded to the next rarity level Character badges are available in 4 levels of rarity: **N ∙ Normal** This is the base rarity of a badge. The first time you earn a character, the badge will have N rarity **R ∙ Rare** This is a rare version of a character badge. The second time you earn the same character, the badge will have R rarity **SR ∙ Super Rare** This is a super rare version of a character badge. The third time you earn the same character, the badge will have SR rarity **UR ∙ Ultra Rare** This is the ultimate version of a character badge. The fourth and final time you earn the same character, the badge will have UR rarity As badge level increases, the design, detail and effects on the badge also increase, to represent their rarity You can see which badges you have earned and their rarity level on the AWC Challenger Portal 90% **What is the Gacha Challenge?** The Gacha Challenge is inspired by real life gacha games. Participants can test their luck by receiving different animewatching requirements and complete them to earn a random badge each time they play Everyone is given a set of 15 random requirements from throughout AWC’s history.

[Spoilers] SPY x family code: White - Discussion
Got to see the movie in the local theater today and I was pleasingly surprised by it. Movie had many funny scenes where the whole cinema laughed, it was quite an experience. Animation was great, especially the fights and for example Anya's scene with the poop king guy. My only gripe with it is that it's not very original in regards to how the story starts and unfolds. They always use the same motivations for Yor, Loid and Anya to basically do anything. Loid will think about something along the lines of "If x doesn't happen the family is over". Anya reads his mind and completely misunderstands it shoots above the mark and Yor is the basically the same. Her whole motivation in the movie basically stemming from misunderstanding Loid . I feel like this makes the characters more one dimensional and simple than they need to be, although I am not sure if that is just something Spy x Family does on purpose and I might think too much about. I somehow hoped for something a bit more, maybe some character development or some more background story. What are your thoughts on it?
[Spoilers] Girls Band Cry - Episode 5 Discussion
300 300 This episode reveals more about Nina and Momoka's past, as they find themselves linked to the new “Diamond Dust” group. We look forward to learning more about their respective pasts. We also notice Nina's growing selfconfidence. I love the way the characters express their feelings for each other by shouting at each other, as in their music. The miniconcert at the end was really poignant, and the 3D rendered the dynamism of the scene perfectly, which I really appreciated The humor in this episode was also hilarious, especially when Nina and Subaru carry Madoka xD So what did you think of this episode, dear friends?
[Spoilers] Tadaima, Okaeri - Episode 4 Discussion
This anime brings out the worst in me because I start getting into discussions with my sister on the mechanics of mpreg birth. Because its kind of a bummer in a speculative biology family life series to just skip over the entire pregnancy? I think just having brief abortion doubts due to self hatred being the only thing shown is a waste of what could have been a whole pregnancy arc, but its just over in less than a full episode. It would have been more interesting to see than introduced, anxiety, bam new baby to be cute. Its all sickeningly sweet and adorable, but I'm a sicko who says if we're doing omegaverse we're going all in at least show me any baby bump.

[Spoilers] Girls Band Cry - Episode 5 Discussion
300 300 This episode reveals more about Nina and Momoka's past, as they find themselves linked to the new “Diamond Dust” group. We look forward to learning more about their respective pasts. We also notice Nina's growing selfconfidence. I love the way the characters express their feelings for each other by shouting at each other, as in their music. The miniconcert at the end was really poignant, and the 3D rendered the dynamism of the scene perfectly, which I really appreciated The humor in this episode was also hilarious, especially when Nina and Subaru carry Madoka xD So what did you think of this episode, dear friends?
Drop the anime & read the manga
Ditch the anime, seriously. It skips way too much, leaving you scratching your head. No proper buildup for why the humans suddenly trust our MC – in the manga, he works hard for it. His powers, the whole human sl@ve thing from episode 1 – way more fleshed out in the manga. Anime just fastforwards, leaving plot holes galore. I'm so frickin' mad because the manga's easily in my top 5 favorites, and they treat it like garbage
Recommend me manga with some of the best art style in your opinion
Despite my list still contains those, I'm very picky about this so yeah, if you have any, feel free to recommend it and I will filter all of those based on genres I prefer. In other words, just drop all of those manga series I haven't read that have great drawings and such I wouldn't want any of PTSD or epilepsy from reading any of these Japanese comics for instance, CSM was horiffic, I'm NGL. And please use this as the reference: https://anilist.co/user/Metafora/mangalist That's all and thank you.
Recommend me music based on the artists I already listen to
I generally prefer male vocals. Recently I've been mainly listening to Japanese music, primarily Hitorie, the pillows, RADWIMPS, natori, syudou, MONO NO AWARE, and a bit of ime44. I also listen to a bit of hiphop, like Kendrick and MF DOOM. I'll put a few tracks by each of them below. Feel free to recommend anything you think I'd like.
Monogatari Off season to air in July + PV
PEAK IS BACKKK Crazy news ngl I was fully expecting a fall release but I'm so happy we're getting it this soon. Seeing portions of Nadeko Draw in this PV already has me hella hyped. No sign of Acerola bon appetite which has me thinking we might get another trilogy like Kizu . Also no sign of Musubimonogatari so maybe we'll get a 6 episode ONA like Tsukimonogatari Edit: also Yoasobi's theme "UNDEAD" is confirmed to be an ED in case anyone was worried about them replacing character OPs
