Hello! I have an idea to make this anime section better. Add a section featuring the most popular anime, but do a Top 10 list. If you like my idea, then add it. Thank you. RingmasterCaine (talk) 00:10, 25 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Creating a section for "popular anime" is too vague of an inclusion criteria and would violate WP:INDISCRIMINATE and creating a "top 10" list would violate WP:NPOV. Link20XX (talk) 01:16, 25 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

In the Attributes section, an illustration of the face of an anime character is attached, but does this violate copyright issues? I remember that the evaluation of the article included the presence or absence of copyright issues, so if there are any issues, it may be necessary to delete or replace it. ジョンドウ (talk) 17:33, 26 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Animé style makes a flat or 2D cartoony art work appear more real than reality itself. I should know because I studied it from very good Filipino artists. 158.62.27.36 (talk) 20:26, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
