NOTE TO NEWCOMERS: this is the discussion thread for submissions to the Ghibli Tavern Anime Guide! See the list thread for the actual guide.

**Note for contributors** - please use the following template to lay out your submission:
Title:
Alternative titles:
Genre(s):
Intended Demographic (if applicable):
Studio/Director:
# Episodes:
Year of Release:
Short Review (brief summary and opinion, avoiding spoilers):
Content warnings (e.g. adult material and sensitive topics, if applicable):
Other notes (e.g. views commonly held about the anime, or mentions of things like filler, if applicable):
For fans of (list other anime):




I've had this idea in the past few days, because I've noticed that recently there have been more people asking for anime recommendations here, and generally discussing what anime there is and what's worth watching. Basically, the idea is to have a list of anime as recommended by Tavern members, with information about genre, content, who recommends it and what kinds of people it's recommended for.

Then, when people new to anime or just looking for suggestions come to ask about what to watch, we can direct them here! Would other people be interested in contributing to it?

I am in.But i think only those should make a recommendation who have watched it fully. But how it is going to be organized cause if the thread goes on then how a person will find what is suitable for him?

I can see how it could work. Like my post here...

I will start off by recommending something just to get it started, like Five Centimeters per Second ... If I think of something else later on I will just come back and EDIT my post with additions to my original post, like, say, The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzimiya


Other Anime:

"The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzimiya"
"Five Centimeters per Second"

That would work, I think... And just because I recommended it doesn't mean that someone else couldn't recommend the same thing. It would give someone an idea that the movie or anime has been enjoyed by others as well...

Following Saddles idea, no Ghiblis in this thread because we are all Ghibli fans... I just deleted my Ghibli recommend.

I guess this is for non-Ghiblis. It should be assumed that everyone who comes to the Tavern likes them.

Perhaps we could post up our own ratings and reviews and preferences and Arren you could keep editing your top post so it contains everything? That would be one way to make it all easy to find, but a bit of super copy-paste effort for you every so often.

Yeah, what Saddles is saying is what I had in mind. The first post can be a master post, and I'm around often enough that I can keep it updated. That way we can discuss in the thread as much as we like without having to worry about edited posts getting confusing.

And I also agree with saviour that only people who have seen all of something should recommend! We can't know whether you have or not, but please try to be honest.

I think we should all edit our posts, that way the thread wouldn't get ungainly long... Each member would be responsible for adding to his or her own post as time goes on. This way we won't have 50 pages to go thru... Maybe only two or three...

And regular editing will keep the thread close to the top of the list as well...

Perhaps someone fills in a form, so we can find some suited to the individual.

Pokebeach forums, uses something like this. ?


Favourite genre(s):
Previously-liked anime, manga, or movies:
Specifics you're looking for:
Desired length:
Anime you've already seen:
Anything else?:

The user fills the form in, then users can help them ?

@husky: see my last post! We can restrict it to even just one page doing it that way.

@SI: my idea was mainly to avoid people needing to ask every time, as there would be a nice big list with information to check out. We could provide particular details for each item in the list (genre, themes, content warnings) so people can get an idea of what might be to their liking.

sounds good to me...

Once we get this rolling, maybe Roar can delete the suggestions that we already posted to further reduce the clutter...

You can use my first two recommendations to start if you like or start with your own.

1. Start a new topic.

2. I'll sticky it.

3. Each post will contain one unique title, reviews and ratings.

4. Each title will have a "Similar to [anime title]" within it.

5. No other posts are to be made in the topic. Random posts will be deleted.

Sounds good? Although if you ask me, aren't we just doing the same as AnimeDB? lol

AnimeDB does not have a particular users like us who love ghibli. It is for those who think more or less like us.

I like SI's idea we should really make a template that way we can gather out thought faster and then post it.

Something like this

Anime genre:
Short Summary:
User Review:
Recommended For:

etc
this way the thread will be structured and also short.

I haven't used AnimeDB myself, but I thought of this because people were specifically asking members here for recommendations, so it would be good to have a list of what we recommend and for whom. As for having each recommendation as a new post, that would make the thread very lengthy for people to go through, and you could end up with a lot of duplicates instead of just a list of recommenders with each entry. Besides, I think deleting all unneeded comments would be even more hassle than editing the first post, and if we do allow more discussion, that way we can reach group agreements on what should be included in each entry, etc, etc, and then not have to go back and delete it all.

Having a new thread might be good though, unless Roar can edit the original so that the thread title indicates that the list will be in the first post? And how long can a post actually be? If there's a limit that we could reach very quickly, it could be worth having some extra placeholder posts if we make a new thread.

another way of doing that individual thread will be for making the recommendation and another will contain the list.


The list will have links to the individual thread where forum members have commented, reviewed and rated a particular anime.

based on those statistics the main list will be updated and sorted from up to down.

the most recommended on the top then one after another.

That list can be stickyed and so a person can easily find out Anime recommendation by users of Tavern.

Sounds good to me because that way we can actually find out which anime is more popular.And we do not have a rating system in Taverm CMS so basically by creating only one list i do not see any way to properly maintain it. And then we also have to rewrite the one we have written earlier.

Any objections??addition??or suggestion??

I actually quite like Saviour's idea of having two separate threads - one just featuring that 'master post' that has been previously suggested, and another containing all the ratings etc. That way people don't have to go back to the 1st page to view things, and everything stays quite clear. But I suppose there isn't much of a difference in keeping them both together.

I think we should set up a manga guide too - I don't know about other members, but I definitely read more manga than I watch anime - in fact I can say with a lot of confidence I probably follow every major (and many non-major) shoujo manga, and know most of those released in the past few years, so I'd love to help people with suggestions in terms of that genre.

I too would love a Manga recommendation thread, I have thought about Death Note, but not sure what else.

I also feel that we would need more sections, I am not sure how much the forum will grow, but I feel just 4 sections is inadequate. Having General Discussion for everything non Anime related isn't enough, obviously Anime isn't the only thing we can talk about.

People come for the Ghibli, stay because of the members, and would stay I feel if there was more .

if someone agrees with me why he/she has to say again , actually etc words. I have no idea.

now to topic
Hmm,

what i suggested is one with the list and you got this

but not another with ratings rather i suggested that each individual anime will have its own thread for ratings reviews experience etc.Its because if all the anime are reviewed in one thread then we then again have to browse through it. Woltlab does not support post linking. I know a way to get around this but that is complicated.We have quite a few reviews already so we should use them

I think i have made it clear enough to me atleast LOL

First of all, your reaction to me actually agreeing with you for once.... /facepalm

I was elaborating on the way I agreed with you because I wanted to voice exactly what aspects of (what I thought was) your argument I was agreeing with. There's no need to react that way about it.

Plus personally speaking I think having a separate thread for every anime we review is a little extreme and messy.

EDIT: And it's a she, plus I'm not sure if you're aware, but it's extremely rude to refer to somebody in 3rd person like that.
