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.

...I'm still not sure what I think of Nocturne, but the art and animation are still a blast to see. Season 2 did help improve on the characters from the first season a bit, so the writing's not bad, but it's still tough following up on the first series.

Curious to read others' thoughts!

I still don’t really understand the night creatures but I guess that’s a pretty minor part of the show.

Giving the night creatures character is probably one of the most interesting writing decisions from this series so far. I'm a little bummed it's not been explored more, as it seems like it has a lot more potential to it, but then the same could be said of the forgemasters as well, which have felt like a mixed bag in their handling.
