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. For a dedicated Anime instance, check out ani.social.
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.

What styles and topics do you consider to be anime, then?
Keep in mind that in Japan, anime just means anything animated. If you ask a Japanese person, Popeye is American anime. This attitude of trying to decide what is and isn't "anime" is a uniquely western phenomenon.
I am not categorical about this issue. This is just a personal approach, one that I find works well with people who dislike anime.
This is just my own pragmatic "solution" of sorts. It allows me to recommend Perfect Blue, Jin-Roh, The Sky Crawlers, Memories (to people who I think would enjoy them of course) by saying that "these pieces are animated, but they are more like a movie that happens to use animation, not an anime." And it works.
I see. Yeah I have a similar pitch for my friends and family members who still only associate animation with children's cartoons.
