I know that I personally start to feel like it's futile to ask any questions, because no one else is watching what I'm watching. I could self-answer but if that's all I ever do, I might as well just be writing on my blog. My hope was that this proposal would reengage some of those users with Q&A, which is also why I didn't want the whole thing taking place in chat. | |

Part of the reason Naruto and One Piece have so many questions is that they just keep going and going, so mini communities coalesce around them. With shorter shows, you don't really have that effect because they're over quickly. I was hoping to fake that mini community effect several times over several shorter shows. | |

I wanted to keep circle organization flexible and circumstantial. But I did like ʞɹɐzǝɹ's idea as a sort of premium-level for really committed people. | |
| Jun 5, 2016 at 5:34 | comment | added | Torisuda | Thanks for a thoughtful answer. Here's how I would respond: 1) The status quo is Naruto, One Piece, Bleach, DBZ, and formerly id requests. We used to at least get questions about shows like Madoka, Fate/Zero, and Bakemonogatari, which are popular, but nowhere near the level of Naruto. Because of IRL circumstances, I haven't watched much anime for the past six or seven months, so I don't even know what's popular with the otaku crowd now (Konosuba?), but whatever it is, if we can get more questions on it, I consider that an improvement. Doesn't have to be enough to rival Naruto, just more. | |
