Anime Forums have been around for a while. Forums such as AnimeCrazy from the earlier generation are now replaced by new generations like MyAnimeList.
Lately, I have been feeling very nostalgic about the days when I can gush about my favorite anime characters and shows using only anime forums.
And to be honest, I miss those good ‘ol simple days when Discord servers, chat messages, and other social media apps weren’t trending.
Top 20 Manga Forums, Discussions And Message Boards In 2023
If you’re like me and grew up only on the simple messaging board system, could you remember some of the anime discussion boards that went trending back in the day?
They were fun to lounge around when I was a kid. Although there were a few internet trolls, restriction controls also existed to ensure safe internet surfing activities.
And it’s just sad to see those sites go away after growing up with its online community for so long. That’s why I’ll be talking about the 10 best forums that the anime community can mingle on this day and age!
Der Discord Server Des Littleakiba Forums
MyAnimeList anime forum has everything and has the largest number of forum members compared to smaller ones. Its membership continues to grow because of the site’s popularity and comprehensive anime and manga database.
If you’re interested about online activities, I’ve tabulated several anime forums’ statistics according to the following categories whenever they’re available. I’ve estimated some numbers on Forum Members to be able to create the bar charts in the following pages.
One glance at the bar charts tell us that MyAnimeList (MAL) has the highest number of forum members among anime forum communities.
Weakest Anime/manga Character ?
In my opinion, MAL not only towers the others in size, but also in popularity (which is why it’s the best anime forum among the others in this list).
But MAL forum members aren’t even that active compared to the 216, 000+ current users of 4channel.org, an online bullet board relying on simple images and a classic forum system. In any case, maybe the reason why anime forums aren’t that trendy anymore is because users are shifting to more common social media platforms like Instagram, Twitter, Pinterest, and Facebook.
Reddit has even ~1.90 million forum members, but perhaps this is due to their Reddit and Apollo mobile apps. Crunchyroll has an app, but forum members are only 20% of the users.
Ao Kaizoku: Anime And Manga Community
The site may have been using an old messaging system from the mid-90s, but that goes to show how the forum’s content aged along with its creators.
What I love about it though is that it uses a “Sticky” function to pin posts at the top. Only AnimeSuki’s moderators can use these to ensure their posts are eye-catching to the site’s visitors.
Other user-friendly designs that the forum utilizes are drop-down menus located in the bottom-left and bottom-right corners: “Quick Style Chooser” and “Forum Jump”.
Best Anime Forums You Must Join
It’s also helpful to know that moderators isolate “retired” sub-forums on older animes to ensure the site provides larger gigabyte forum spaces for current anime series.
“Fullmetal Alchemist” and “Death Note” are classic animes for several reasons, but AnimeSuki already archived them in the “retired” category because their online member ceased discussion on them a long time ago.
I also love how organized the posts are in AnimeSuki! A new site visitor can easily identify between the forums of “Anime Discussion” and “Anime Related Topics”.
Edward Elric Fullmetal Alchemist Anime Forums Edward Elric
For example, if I want to visit “Reviews & Recommendations” posts, I’ll go to “Anime Related Topics”. But if I want to know “Upcoming Series”, I’ll navigate to “Anime Discussion”.
With beautiful background graphics, a clean layout, and a friendly online environment, it’s as if I visited an anime café shop in Paris!
The creators of this forum software must be die-hard Naruto fans that even “Ninja World Map”, “Konoha Town”, and “Jutsu” lists make up the Roleplay navigation submenu!
Anime/manga Illustrator — Gamesalad Forums
However, Narutobase didn’t become popular back in the day, hence, the name-change to AnimeBase to showcase a decluttered but stylistic messaging board system.
I’ve seen many anime forums where some of the titles of their posts are all capitalized (e.g., I’VE FINALLY FINISHED WATCHING NARUTO AND I LOVE IT TO THE MOON!!!).
But a reasonable parent would recommend AnimeBase forums for their kids because it’s not bombarded with troll threads and off topic posts that do not contribute to the anime community.
Anime Thoughts] The Great Jahy Will Not Be Defeated! (2021)
Since it’s been catering to a specific group since 2004, it now makes sense why UK’s demand for anime exploded in the early 2010s.
What I love about its messaging board is that it distinguishes “Anime Industry Discussion” and “General Anime Chit-Chat” threads from “Anime News & Rumours”.
“Anime News & Rumours” threads are jam-packed with “legal streaming anime updates” and “overseas anime news and announcements” posts. Having 7, 900+ threads, it’s clear to see why it’s the noisiest of the three.
Anime Mega Thread V2
If UK fans are enthusiastic about getting their limited Blu-ray anime editions, it’s understandable why this thread has over 57, 700 messages despite only having 99 threads!
Without the forum, UK anime distributors wouldn’t be able to create the necessary “buzz” to increase their DVD sales in UK’s anime community.
This news doesn’t affect me in the least. I don’t live in the U.S., but I’m still part of the North American region.
Anime, Manga, And Other Comics
But I was shocked having heard of such sad news: European Redditors lounging in the r/anime subreddit directly told me their inability to access FUNimation’s latest blogs.)
If we assume that only 20% of the 50 million registered users are forum members, then we get about 1 million of them.
These ~20, 000 active members are the reason why there’s only ~77, 000 posts and ~1, 400 threads in the Crunchyroll Forum (a very small number compared to less popular anime forums (AnimeSuki’s: 115, 743 threads, AnimeBase: 625, 303 threads).
Anime & Manga Community
But no matter how you look at it, Crunchyroll’s forum has been the primary online discussion board for its paying members since 2006.
The forum software may be out-of-date, but the classic layout system makes it neat enough for members to lounge on momentarily as they anticipate watching other Crunchyroll anime videos.
Like Crunchyroll, ANN uses an outdated messaging system, but over 103, 000 forum members roam around this site because ANN is always updated with episode reviews, events, manga, novels, and people working in Japan’s animation industry.
Kill La Kill General Discussion Thread
It is the first place to go to if you want to expand your knowledge on the latest anime shows Japan has to offer.
However, ANN is not as big as MAL (MyAnimeList). Whereas MAL’s memberships are growing (8.30+ million forum members), ANN’s registered users remains stagnant (around 810, 000+ people only).
Moreover, if you finished reading the news, you’ll see at the bottom that there’s a direct link to the thread related to the news you’re reading about. That way, you don’t have to take the time to search for the specific thread itself.
Anime And Manga Discussion (page 1 Of 1)
Founded in 2001, over 1.60+ million users thrive on Anime-Planet because the website offers online legal streaming services in addition to anime season charts, recommendations, and community forums.
It has a very user-friendly database that allows viewers to rate and categorize (“unwatched”, “watching”, “want to watch”, etc.) several of its anime shows.
Its database is very informative because it even provides the user stats of an anime show of registered Anime-Planet users (e.g., no. of users who are “watching”, “want to watch”, and “dropped” a show).
Beastars (manga Discussion Thread)
With a database like Anime-Planet, it’s no wonder why its forum is thriving with 607, 000+ messages. Anime-Planet’s forum has a fair layout, as well.
Some of its discussion boards are segregated into “Currently Airing Anime”, “Upcoming Anime”, “Entertainment”, and specific & general “Anime Discussions” to help the users navigate their way into the site.
If you want some pizzazz in your forum boards, then head onto Anime Forums! Its dark layout is fantastic for people preferring dark mode all the time on their gadget screens.
How To Post A Question On Myanimelist Forums
In addition, their forums are also divided into “Anime & Manga”, “General”, “Creative Corner”, and “AF” sections to aid visitors navigating the site.
Anime Forum’s registered users thrive on 82, 000+ posts. Much more enjoyment can be obtained in AF when posters get to share anime images.
The “Creative Corner” is also very special because they have the “A-F Art Exhibit” to allow artists to showcase their talents with their wonderful drawings and digital graphics!
Total War Center Forums
But if you’re more of a tactical person, the “Role Players Realm” invites you to participate in joining fantasy worlds and fandoms for virtual role plays.
The same technique goes for AniList except that it also allows you to rate and compare your own favorite animes and mangas against AniList’s top 100 lists (based on registered users’ preferences).
AniList exemplifies a modern metadata anime provider through its AniChart.net website because you can filter anime shows by season and the year it’s released.
Your Manga And Anime Collection
Message boards are also cleanly stacked to segregate the replies on one thread against another. There’s also no downvote function on the comments section.
The navigation bar on the forums feed page allows users to indicate whether they want to jump to anime, manga, light novels, or recommendations thread discussions.
What’s more is that if you click on the profile of a user, you’ll see anime titles they’re “watching”, “planning to watch”, “completed”, and even “dropped”.
