No Thanks The countless Manga threads within the forum.

I do believe this is a very minor suggestion. It would appear that the different Manga threads are scattered throughout either their respective sub-forum or the Literature section, leading to a large lack of organization - indeed, even the descriptions for both the Literature forum and Anime & Manga forum allude to such a topic. I indeed understand that keeping the Anime & Manga sub-section as a whole entity is much more productive than separating it, which is why I simply suggest a moving of all threads pertaining to Manga to one forum or the other, simply to prevent any future confusion and to essentially keep all of the Manga threads in their proper location. In doing so, I would presume that one of the mentions of "manga" in one of the descriptions should also be removed to, again, prevent any unnecessary Manga threads in that section and thus curtail confusion and disorganization.

 

I usually moved manga threads from Lit to A&M is the manga has an anime counterpart, and kept it in Lit when it didn't. That being said, manga threads created in A&M were kept there regardless of whether they have an anime counterpart.
I wasn't planning on changing it before I got any feedback [laziness] but I understand that this is confusing and chaotic. I'll see to it that manga threads are only kept in A&M from now on.

On a side note, I was thinking about suggesting a subsection for webcomics, since quite a few threads in Lit deal with them nowadays. Then again, Lit is such a small section that splitting it up even further won't have much effect. I want to hear people's opinions on it anyway though.

EDIT: Leafed through the first two pages of Lit and there weren't many manga threads that hadn't already been moved. Nevertheless, I'll keep an eye out for future ones.

 

Thank you kindly, Styx. I do believe this shall indeed reduce the amount of clutter in the Literature section.

On the topic of a webcomic subsection - I do believe it can be applicable and useful judging from at least the niche of activity that surrounds webcomics; perhaps the section itself can also be expanded to include Western comics in general. If we were to do this, however, the minuscule size of the community would allow me to suggest limiting threads dealing with specific webcomics/comics to "megathreads" so we do not clutter the board with six different threads about the same webcomic - for the sake of organization alone, perhaps.

 

We used to have separate sections for manga within the anime section, as well as a comic/webcomic section in literature. To be honest I feel like that was better organized, as it kept manga and anime in it's own corner, away from confusing it with the Literature section.
Personally I would like to see that come back, so we'll see how this will work out.

 

Maybe just add a sub-section in Literature for Manga and Comics? I mean no, they're not technically the same thing, but they are similar; I don't think that either warrant their own independent sections at this point.

Edit: also, just went through Lit real fast and moved the Manga threads to Anime/Manga.
