For a long time there's been this idea of starting an anime board

HakureiSM:
And to be honest it makes perfect sense.

The last (third) anime/manga thread just hit 1000 posts, with Matsuri requesting it to be split into three.
It's a reasonable request, seeing how the thread is a real mess.
Lots of people watching/reading different things, trying to discuss one series while another discussion overlaps the other then Panty & Stocking 1st episode just came out omg omg it's so awesome guys I just finished Sengoku Basara 2 oh yes P&SwG is an amazing experience Man, you picked a good series Basara is all kinds of manly School Days sucks oh I liked the huge trainwreck it was man K-ON movie oh yes.
See what I mean?

But let's say it was split into three thread, like it was proposed by Mats.
One for general anime discussion, one for manga and one for current anime.
What does 'current anime' mean?Anime people are currently watching or anime that are currently airing? Because those overlap a hell lot, I mean, that's the whole point of anime airing, right? People watching them
Discussions will still overlap and cut each other, as exemplified above, some people wanting to discuss Sengoku Basara, or School Days, or P&SwG all at the same time.
The same is hapenning to manga.

There's just too many people interested in the anime/manga subject to fit in just a few threads.
So what I basically mean is it's safe to assume there's plenty of room and interest in the creation of an anime/manga board, similar to Akyu's, the gaming board.

Matsuri:
As I said in my PM to you, I like this idea. Even a subforum in Renko's would be nice.

While I'm fine with just splitting the megathread into smaller threads, a subforum for anime/manga-specific discussions would be pretty convenient, as well.

Bottom line on my opinion: as long as it isn't a messy, disorganized megathread anymore, I don't care. The more organized we can be, the better.

Alfred F. Jones:
Haven't we had this idea a long while ago? And it was thought that a single anime/manga thread would be enough to contain them?

I still disagree with the need to have an anime board. Sure, you've had three of these megathreads, but three threads since these forums came up-- a span of well over a year-- is not promising at all. Explain to me why an anime/manga board wouldn't be dead, or at least not frequently posted in.

Matsuri:
Yes, that did come to mind, as well, which is why I asked for three separate threads for still rather-general topics. I'm just saying I'm not opposed to the idea of a subforum, for the sake of being organized-- and I like being organized :<

Of course, if you want it to be less-dead, there's also the possibility of making a general media subforum as well-- specifically for discussion of TV shows, books, music, and so on-- and really, it's more reasonable, too.

On the other hand, how often do we have threads discussing non-anime/manga media? Not very often. Hmm. :/

As long as we don't have a ridiculous megathread anymore, it does not matter to me.

HakureiSM:
The idea came up more than once before, but there's was no real discussion centered on it.

As for the post ammount, many people noted in the past that the mere fact that there's just one megathread with no room for discussion supresses many posts and many potential discussions.

I mean, how am I supposed to ask people's opinions on this series I'm reading when the current discussion is something completely different?
Similarly, that other member posted something about that series he/she's reading, I'd like to post my opinion on it but I can't do much more than a small note after the big post I'm making about the series currently under discussion

As the occasional remark on CPMC's socials point out, there's a lot of people who don't even post in the anime/manga thread despite having a lot of interest in the subject.
Visual novels also could come into this category.
