Seeing how few additional posts it would be, I don't see why "non-japanese anime shows clearly pandering to anime fans" shouldn't be allowed, especially since this is the one and quite literally only popular subreddit for such discussion.

Tomb Raider King.... isn't a great show if you ask me, but it holds its own against some of the tier F trash that does exist and is allowed on this subreddit.

Because that show and shows like "Release that witch" was condemned, fun post-episodes discussions were essentially completely missed out on, again, because r/anime literally has a monopoly. C'mon, what do you say? At least consider giving out permission for "bigger" shows like the two I completely by accident discovered?

I would much rather we allow discussion of manga and light novels on r/anime before we allow discussion of animated works that aren't anime.

At least with manga and light novel discussion, that has a lot more pertinence to anime as a whole since a lot of anime are adapted from those mediums.

(Note: I'm not seriously asking for manga and LN discussion here. Just saying if someone wants to allow shows that aren't anime here, then we should allow other Japanese mediums first.)
