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.

Ofc not to scale, he's only half-horse.
And also has two butts (two endings - the one in the penultimate episode, which is then extended into the second one in the last episode, both excellent, Im usually bothered when they clearly end the show/movie & then add a forced good ending just because the suits ordered them to).
In the case of Bojack Horseman, there are two main points that the writers make throughout the series that makes the last two episodes make more sense: 1. That sitcoms can never have a happy ending because there's always more show, and 2. Until there isn't any... and this extends into life.
To point 1. Sitcoms go until they end and every episode has everyone back to where they were, wrapped up neatly in a little bow, ready for the next episode. This is basically how Bojack Horseman (the show) operated, except the characters did have changes, and they did have development, because the writers were trying to subvert that sitcom trope. They were operating like real life, whereas Bojack thought of his life like a sitcom.
And to point 2. Like a sitcom, there's always more show... until there isn't. Life continues, people change, people grow apart, and then you die. But things don't just end neatly like in a sitcom, because life goes on. There's always more life, until you die. So Bojack has to continue living like everyone else and deal with his problems.
