@Thunderforge: I'd argue that's a sub-genre of TV chosen explicitly to represent Anime as a whole. There's no one character in all of Anime which would be suitable to represent Anime, since not everyone likes Shonen-style anime.
Not really a fan of the mascot. Given how diverse and broad Anime and Manga are, picking a single entity (a-la OS-tan) to represent it doesn't quite feel as nice to me.
I'm not sure if what I'm proposing is too complex then @Catija; I was thinking along the dimensions of Worldbuilding along with something simple analogous to The Workplace. Let me know if I need to rein it in, though.
It's fine @Catija, your shooting down of this idea provided me with the inspiration I so sorely lacked during an inland blizzard-cyclone bomb whatever thing. Thanks!
@Richard: I've added some more stats into this. I think I fully understand SciFi's position on this, but I don't feel that my concerns have been allayed any less from it.
@Richard: I did say that I didn't want to optimize those sorts of users, not outright ignore them. We've genuinely been spurned by them in the past, and I get that not all of them were bad; some of them turned out to be fantastic. However, I don't see the data to suggest that these sorts of questions have contributed positively to SciFi.SE, nor do I feel particularly assured by "Yes, we'll take them on" as the only real reason to send them over.
@Richard: I'm really not trying to be argumentative, but I'm not seeing a compelling reason here to send them over besides, "Yes, we'll take them." I'm not seeing any information as to how you've prevented the situation from spiraling out of control, nor have I seen any evidence from SciFi's perspective that users that do ask those sorts of questions actually stick around. If I could have maybe one or two of those concerns allayed, I'll happily withdraw my point.
