Welcome to Anikoto Community 👋

Hey everyone — and welcome if you're new!

This board is for anime discussion and Anikoto community talk. Please keep it clean and useful for everyone.

1. Community rules (please read)

Discuss anime. No off-topic spam, no self-promo / advertising, and no misleading posts.

Please follow the current comment & community policy:

https://rentry.co/anikotocommentpolicy

Misleading content, spam, promotion, or rule-breaking can lead to a ban.

If you're unsure whether something is allowed — don't post it. Ask staff on Discord instead.

2. What is Mana? How does it work?

Mana is Anikoto's community currency. It's shown on your profile (and next to your name with a rank badge).
Mana is earn-only — you gain it by being active. More Mana = higher rank badge.

Current ranks

• Newbie — 0+
• Side Character — 1,000+
• Casual Watcher — 20,000+
• Seasonal Viewer — 50,000+
• Certified Weeb — 100,000+
• Binge Demon — 200,000+
• Hardcore Otaku — 500,000+
• Ascended Weeb — 1,000,000+

How you can earn Mana (current defaults)

• Episode comment → +10 Mana
• Community comment → +15 Mana
• Community post → +50 Mana
• Finish / complete an episode (first time) → +25 Mana
• Someone upvotes your comment/post → +2 Mana per upvote
• Daily vote participation bonus → +1 Mana (once per day when you vote)

Daily upvote cap

When people upvote your comments/posts, you earn Mana — but there is a daily cap:

• You can earn up to 100 Mana/day from upvotes received (default).
• After you hit the cap, more upvotes that day won't add more Mana until the next day.
• Be helpful, not spammy. Quality posts > flood.

Where to check your Mana

Open your public profile / My Zone to see:

• current Mana balance
• current rank
• progress toward the next rank

3. Custom badges ✨

Custom badges (your own icon + optional aura style) are currently available for:

• Mods / staff
• We hold events occasionally, and you'll find out in the community when the next event will happen..

Please don't spam requests. Have your badge image ready (PNG / JPG / WebP — no GIF), and wait for staff.
