Watch mana kinda sucks right now. The current rate, one mana per minute, is way too low. My watch cap right now is 700. That is equivalent to a little over 11 and a half hours. If we say that each anime episode is 20 minutes, that would mean that I would have to watch 35 episodes in one day just to reach the cap. Not everyone has the time to watch over 11 hours of anime a day.

I think that a good idea would be to increase the mana per minute to 5, but setting the maximum cap to 500. Since every episode is around 20 minutes, that would mean getting 100 mana an episode and reaching the cap with only 5 episodes. 5 episodes a day is much more realistic for the average anime watcher.

Making these changes would improve the site in two ways:

1. It would discourage people from using the community board to farm mana with low quality post.

2. It increases site retention. The watch mana cap rework could function like daily quests in gacha games. It could encourage people to come back to the site daily to fill the cap for mana. It's not functioning in that way now because filling the cap is basically impossible for most people.
