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.

She Hulk is great! What did you think of Moon Knight? I'm glad the MCU has not one but two confirmed plural superheroes!
What's a plural superhero?
A superhero for whom there's more than one person in their head. Bruce Banner and the Hulk are a plural system, and so are Steven Grant, Marc Spector, and Jake Lockley. Although Banner and Hulk have integrated into a single personality by the time of Endgame. In She Hulk, Bruce is actually really surprised that Jen isn't plural. I guess in the MCU he hasn't realised that his plurality is caused by being beaten by his father like in the comics. He thinks his plurality is caused by gamma radiation up until Jen turns into a hulk but isn't plural.
Gotcha thanks for the explanation!
Moon Knight's arc dealing with a fictive alter is great, but I'd be even happier with the MCU's handling of plurality if there were an endogenic superhero. An endogenic system is one that wasn't formed by trauma. A lot of people in the plural community, called sysmedicalists, think plurality can only be a mental disorder. I'd like it if the MCU was brave enough to include a counterexample to this belief.
