If you like Anime so much, why don't you marry it?

Or at least consider going to Anime Vice? On the first page alone, including all the Stickied threads, there are as of this posting (this one included ) FIVE THREADS about anime. 
Don't get me wrong, I'm not bashing anime, or manga, and I even defended it one or two of those threads. And I'm not bashing the people who enjoy it, and want to talk about it. But can we try and focus to just a couple of threads? Maybe have a mod sticky one for us to post in? I mean there's even a thread with a guy asking for links for downloading, which is about as close to a TOS violation as this place really gets!  
I know it's the Off Topic thread, but can't we talk some things that are not japanese animated shows, or recommendations, or about how mature or childish it might be, et al? And again, if you are just down for that kind of talk, there is the WM sister site that needs some clicks. Go, talk, wiki edit. Just tone it down over here for a few days maybe?

Most users over here have figured out that no one will respond to their thread over at Anime Vice.  Their thread will get faster responses over here.  Don't get me wrong, Anime Vice is awesome, but it's a really, really small community.
 
What I'm trying to say is anime discussion is welcome here.

No, I made a thread about talking too much about Anime. And I even included my thread in the tally. So that doesn't really fit any definition of irony, sir.

I've flown a dozen times in the last few years, and haven't gotten anything that wasn't in a little bag, or little tiny bottle. I usually just pack my own food now.
 
@JJOR64: I'm not saying it isn't welcome, but that the flood of threads could be toned down, and perhaps consolidated like the "Previously on..." Tv show sticky. And that if all the anime dudes go play around on anime vice, then maybe, just maybe it will grow a little bit.

I'm pretty sure out of the 5 sites Giantbomb has the largest community (I'm assuming). So there is a higher chance of getting a response here than on the other site. Thats what the off topic section is for anyways.
 
Does this also mean the next time someone has a question about a computer we should just ignore them and point them at tested?

Anyway, fair enough people talking about anime and all that but it is a bit odd when people ask about it on the games forum when there is an anime forum right there, I can see it below this box! ... I think I'll marry Shizuma Hanazona too...*heads on over to anime vice*

I'm certainly not part of the anime thread "problem", but if I were to make an anime topic, I'd make it here at GiantBomb. Why? It's simple: if someone's an active AnimeVice member, he or she is probably into today's anime, and virtually all of today's anime sucks balls. I don't want to discuss anime with someone whose taste sucks balls.

This is an off topic board, so why not talk about anime?  and besides animevice is fail imo, at least recommend some good anime sites.

So I guess this means no more movie threads on GiantBomb, because there's another site for that. Also, no more tech threads, because there's another site for that. I guess we won't be able to talk about music or books if Whiskey makes a music or books site either. 
 
This is probably the dumbest idea I've ever read on GB. You can't handle viewing a few lines of text on a forum page that don't match your interests? Instead of the animé posters leaving, I suggest you do. Problem solved.

Also, if you liked anime you would post your threads on Giant Bomb. It's Off Topic, I don't understand why people get so worked up over anime threads on Giant Bomb but not any other threads no matter how strange.

So the answer is to spam this board with threads about anime when there is clearly an anime-focused forum with a large visible graphic on the site? Flawless my ass. You'd hear less bitching on the subject if you'd just fuck off on over to where it's the main subject of conversation. As far as I know he wasn't asking you to leave, just to stick with a few main threads. Posting about anime in an anime hostile place that is literally the neighbor of an all anime all the time site is fucking idiotic.

Binman88's response was perfect, and the thread should have stopped there. AnimeVice is a dead site; nobody wants to post anime threads over there because they won't get as many responses. And you completely ignored the fact that, by this logic, all movie related threads should be on Screened, all comic related threads should be on ComicVine, and all tech related threads should be on Tested. That's ridiculous. There's a reason the off-topic forum exists.

 You missed the part where I didn't there should be no anime threads at all. Too many threads is obnoxious no matter what the topic. If there was an overwhelming and annoying glut of threads on comics, tech, or movies I would say the same thing.

See, I wasn't even suggesting that, just a reduction; a focused approach. Let them have their anime threads, just not over....9000!!!! How hard  would it be to even just have an Anime/manga/bizarrojapaneseshit Board, that all the lovers could add to their favorites list, and play around in, and the haters could ignore [or troll]? Couldn't be any worse than Hamburgers.
 

@Binman88, right and how annoying was it having 32 Inception discussions/SPOILERS going on every day last week?  i can handle it, and I'm not hating. Just making peaceful observations and suggestions.
 
 @natetodamax, If Anime Vice has no users, because everyone is over here posting about anime, instead of over there, because no one is over there, isn't that kind of a self-defeating paradox? I mean, if everyone who loves some anime and/or tentacles over here at GB, went over there, and signed up, and started a party, there'd be like what, 25 more people? Its been built, why don't they come? And again, since the vast majority of the threads here devolve into bashing, or just pure retardedness because of the general population.... then why keep it up?

Couldn't be any worse than Hamburgers.

For that solution to work, it would require some actual work by Dave, Sean, and the rest of the guys. I see two possibilities:
 a. Create a new "main" forum for Anime (Or whatever else, doesn't matter what it is - something non-video game) and then allow people to switch it off completely via a switch in preferences, as they are now with the different top-level boards such as the API forum, Off-Topic, articles, or blog posts.
b. Redesign the preferences options from the ground up and allow users to switch ANY individual forum completely off - that way we could potentially have a forum for anything, and if any user doesn't want to see it, they can simply turn it off and they won't even know it exists. This is the better solution in my opinion, but again - it requires work and the guys have more pressing matters to attend to.
 
This also brings me around to a tangential subject, but I'll throw it out there anyway - users, this is why a lot of your threads that you put in various Concept or Object categories get moved to off-topic. It's all great and all that MrUberPwner69xx420xx puts his blog about his girlfriend in the Breast Bounce forum, but it's going to get moved to Off Topic because there are a lot of users who simply don't want to see non-game related stuff on the forums.

People don't like being forced to do something. If there's always a poster that suggests to go to AnimeVice instead for every anime thread, it will just make them want to stay here.
