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.

Why not both? I like backups anyway.

That's exactly what I'm doing. HDDs have an expiration date

A backup that lasts upwards of 20 years and can be copied close to end of life is a perfectly good backup. Don't let perfect be the enemy of good, you'll never achieve anything that way.
