New Ideas for the Western/Non-Jap Animation section.

[Hanamaru Kunikida]

Pretty much, unless you've got something else. I'm open to any ideas.

Not at the moment, no.

[DeathBlade/13.666]

Well if you or anyone else comes up with something, just let me know. ^.^

Here's an interesting thing for this, from Kaitou Ace. For cases like Futurama, where one channel showed it for awhile, and then canceled it. And another took it up and started making more newer episodes as such. They can fall under the original producing/showing that showed them. Just to clear out the confusion...

What say y'all?

[Hanamaru Kunikida]

Eh.I think is better to put it under its current main channel, that being Adult Swim(?).

It only makes sense to do the current one.

[DeathBlade/13.666]

',:l Current viewing channel or original showing channel.... Tough call, Anyone want to chime in? @MaruDashi , @Yuki haruka ?

You're making this a lot more complicated that it should be. The current channel is what makes sense the most.

That's like listing DBZ games or Godzilla games under Atari when they no longer hold the license to publish DBZ games or Godzilla games. And the logical thing is to list it under Namco Bandai, it's current publisher. I dunno about Godzilla, don't care much about it.

That's the first thing I thought of...I know there's similar examples there.

[DeathBlade/13.666]

Gotta make it complicated to make sure it's done right, I always say. And I know what you mean, but the less kinks/issues/complaints I have to deal with, the better off I am. ^.^

[RavenQueen]

yea but most ppl who use to watch it only know the original showing channel

[Hanamaru Kunikida]

Making things complicated doesn't mean it's right.

You're stressing on something very simple. I would think it's more logical if it falls under Comedy Central than Fox, since Comedy Central now OWNS (has the license to air it) it instead of Fox. Putting under Fox is fine too, it's not a big deal. Again, you're stressing on it too much. It can go in either.

I don't think no one is going to form a riot if they have to put it under Comedy Central than Fox.

[DeathBlade/13.666]

Well I'm not really making that big of a deal with it. Just trying to bounce some ideas off of folks heads and see how far it goes. Plus having a clear idea/rule-of-thumb for shows with multiple channels does help. But I don't want to be some overbearing Mod saying this is how things will be when a better idea is just around the next post. Having an open discussion helps. So what if I throw a curveball or two, with folks talking regardless of how complicated or simple something may be we can come up with the best possible answer. Will it be perfect? No, but tweeking here and there is better than scrapping and restarting from scratch any day of the year.

[RavenQueen]

still would be complicated for ppl who dont no the new channel or dont have cable no more but your the mod what ever you do it up to you what ever you do is up to you if some one dont like it o well just go with your gut lol

Now, it's that's all good and I understand where you're coming from but simple things like these, I just say go with it instead of sitting on it too much.
You're talking as it was dilemma to put it under either Fox or Comedy Central.

If it was something would have an affect in the forum then yeah, an open discussion would be needed but we don't need to have a debate whether it should fall under CC or Fox.

Trust me, no one would stop posting here or leave AF if they had to put it under CC or Fox.

[DeathBlade/13.666]

Fair enough.... And I know folks won't leave the forum over something so small, but still. I like allowing the member's to make some contributions that way it's not an "all me" thing, you know.

P.S. Now if only I could drum up more activity in the section. lol

[RavenQueen]

it will happen i sure more ppl will talk on here if some new shows where talk about i still find it odd there not 2 mods for each forum thought

Pretty much, I volunteered for the job when no one else would, and there's not enough activity to warrant more than one. There's even some thought of stretching me out to another section so I have more to do.

There, changed the title to allow room for more ideas incase anyone has one.

Also I've been thinking about possibly starting a contest... Not sure what to contest would be off..... Trivia maybe? But googling answers would make it easy....

So yea, any ideas would be great. ^.^

[RavenQueen]

ahh okay i understand i use to be a mod in a different anime site that die out it kinda why i join this one lol

No, that's totally cool and props to you for that. But just don't stress for every single idea. When you can make your decisions yourself and it runs smoothly, it was makes your better.

Also, regarding some new ideas....I guess hot new shows can get it's own subforum. Or let's do like a show of the month thing and the one who wins get's it's own subforum.

[blueangel06661]

I think it should be the original channel... I don't know which channel shows what from the oldies so if it was on "channel X" when it first ran and was popular then just mark it as that since that's what most people associate it with. The only channel I think should be the exception is boomerang.

[DeathBlade/13.666]

Fair enough, @Kaitou+ And how will that exactly play out? Like quiz on a brand new eps. or up and coming eps.? Like for example, a question about what Jake and Finn will do based off of a preview of the next eps. of Adventure Time, and whoever gets it right before the eps. actually airs wins? Also, winner gets to make-up the next question about the next eps. of the show of his/her choice?

@Yuki haruka , That sucks, glad you chose to become a member here though.

As for the Original channel vs. Current channel, I'll just get a general concensis(sp?) and make a decision from the what the majority wants.

---------- Post added at 05:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:29 PM ----------

-smh- Should read a little more carefully.. But yea, Show of the Month, and random show gets to have a subforum for a month...

[RavenQueen]

Here is the thing, the forum overall being not active could not make it work perfectly but whatever, it's not excuse to just throw the towel.

But yeah, pretty much....So like Legend of Korra could get it's own sub forum or people can vote what show should get its own sub forum for everyone to discuss.

[DeathBlade/13.666]

@Kaitou+ True... A poll kinda sounds good... Let's say the top 2-3 maybe even 4 get a subforum?

Thank you, @Yuki haruka .

4 or 5 sounds good. But like the other subforums, they need to warrant one.

Legend of Korra and Young Justice come to mind for me.

[DeathBlade/13.666]

Legend of Korra, definitely. Young Justice, maybe. Though, We could group Legend of Korra with Avatar: The Last Airbender for a whole subforum, and Young Justice with Teen Titans, and other DC cartoons. That way there's not a subforum with just one thread in it. Sound good to you? And also, what about that quiz idea with the previews?

That's good. I dunno the labeling for LoK and Avatar but Young Justice/Teen Titans/Justice League can fall under DC Animation.

Quizzes? Eh....I dunno, I really have no comment on that, really. Especially with everyone not being online at the same time..I dunno, I'm not against it or for it...Just no comment.

[DeathBlade/13.666]

Well it would be a weekly thing seeming that new episodes only come out by week, so folks have 7 days to post an answer. But I see what you mean.

As for LoK, and Avatar, How about Avatar:TLA/LoK?
