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.
