Previous Thread | Next Thread

We have officially hit the halfway point through the Winter 2024 anime season with most shows having aired at least 6 episodes and several already with their seventh behind them. I want to hear what your impressions are about the season so far. Any shows surprise you? Disappoint you? Exceed your expectations? Like every week, this is also a general discussion thread, so feel free to post general questions/discussions as well.

As always, remember to be mindful of spoilers. If you want to know more about how to handle spoilers in this community, check the guide here (also linked in the sidebar).

I'm glad you asked.

For pinned posts, I think the images take up too much space, particularly if you're on "Auto expand images" like I am.

And those images aren't changing, so they take up space and get boring, like the Winter Episode Discussion Thread Guide

That is a great point that I hadn't thought of since I don't have auto expand on. I will keep this in mind going forward. Would something short and wide be less of an issue, like the banner images on AniList? Here is an example I pulled from Frieren:

I could see pulling different banner images each week and overlaying some text for the weekly discussion post if that won't be too intrusive.
