On Anime
While Anime is a beloved animation style with a rich history and extensive following, our focus here leans towards other forms of animation. This is due to the immense popularity of Anime in online spaces, which is amply covered by other dedicated communities.
This doesn't mean that Anime related conversation is not allowed here, only that it's not our focus.
On Technical Discussion
While our primary goal is to discuss animated media, conversations about animation techniques and the process of creating animation are also welcome. Whether you're a budding animator seeking to understand more about the industry, or a seasoned professional sharing your experiences, you're welcome here.

Not animated, but trust me, if you'd actually watched Manos: The Hands of Fate, you would not have enjoyed it in any capacity.
Even in the MST3k episode, it was an ordeal.
It is truly amazing how they managed to make an hour-and-ten-minutes feel like three hours. I (barely) finished watching it, and couldn't believe how little time had actually passed.
Manos initially took me a few times to get through (even with MST3K), but now when I randomly run across it on the dumb industries twitch stream or the MST3K YouTube/twitch streams I get a little excited. It really doesn't make my "skin crawl" like it used to, but it's still terrible.
I've seen it with dumb industries, rifftrax, and MST3K.
I can't imagine watching it more than once. I've just been trying to forget about it for the last fifteen years.
The master would not approve lol
