Help us make your anime forums better!
You might remember that we held a vote a while ago where we asked members what anime should receive its own sub-forum. For a long time, all anime topics were covered in a single forum Anime Central.
We wanted to begin expanding the forums so that people would have more freedom to discuss just the animes that interest them, rather than having to wade through one forum just to find the series they're interested in.
There is now a follow-up topic about this very subject - we're looking for recommendations and comments on how best to re-arrange our anime forums. We really want to provide the best format for the whole community and we really want your input on that; especially if you rarely - or never - post on OB.
theOtaku has such a great chat system and we have a strong art-sharing community, but OtakuBoards is really the only dedicated space for deeper discussions on anime and manga. And if we aren't doing a good job of giving you guys the best options, we want to change that.
This discussion is open to everyone and we really want to make sure that we do what works best for most people.

Fullmetal Alchemist Forum is Live!
You might remember a little vote we held a while ago, where we asked Otakuites which franchise would be best-suited to have its own specific forum on OB.
With the votes now in, it looks like FMA has risen to the top of the pile.
Now that the forum is active, we need Otakuites from across the network to make good use of it. Feel free to create threads about anything and everything related to the FMA universe - characters, specific episodes, merchandise... anything!
If this forum is successful we will definitely continue to add forums for specific franchises - and it'll be Otakuites themselves who decide which franchise comes next.
So What's Your Favorite Anime?
You know this is going to come up, it always does. The famous or infamous question asking what is your favorite anime! I personally try to hide from the question since it's hard to pick just one when there are lots of shows I really like. So it's hard to narrow it down to just a few.
I do know that I love stuff that makes you laugh like Fumoffu. I also love stuff like Lucky Star and Fruits Basket. Slice of life anime shows are fun for the silly glimpses they give you into everyday life.
And then there are what I consider my guilty pleasure shows, the ones that you know they are so horribly cheesy and silly and yet you love them anyway. Like Wedding Peach, I can't help but giggle and laugh at some of the silly stuff in it.
Anyway, what are your favorite anime shows? Don't hold back! I'm sure you all have a lot that you really enjoy.
State of Anime
When looking at the Anime Central forum today, I was thinking about throwing up a cool thread on here. Instead, I think I'll throw up several. Otakuites are creating/joining some pretty interesting anime threads lately - here's a selection of just a few that caught my eye:
Why Do People Love Anime So Much?
Like a selection of fine Belgian chocolate, these are some of the tastier parts of Anime Central right now. Of course, there are plenty more threads to choose from on the forum's front page, so go check 'em out!
Vote for a New Anime Forum
Anyone who regularly visits our Anime Central forum may know that I recently put up a thread asking for opinions on the idea of setting up new anime forums on OB.
Right now Anime Central is a bit of a catch-all, where dozens and dozens of franchises are covered.
But I have been thinking about going back to a system where we "feature" specific franchises with their own unique sub-forums. This gives fans a special place of their own to celebrate their favorite series/movie/etc...
In order to choose which forum goes first, I'm holding a vote on OB.
All Otakuites should feel free to go over there and vote/discuss their choices. The winning franchise will be the first to receive its own dedicated OB forum.
