What is Archive?
You must learn before you can teach. Archive is a user group that hopes to do just that for the community; by supporting and teaching other members of NulledBB. Although we aren't focusing on any specific niche, our goal is to better the community as a whole.

Anime Help Desk
I've noticed some people making threads about asking something thats been asked before, and so rather than keeping this pattern of creating more threads of questions about Anime, I've made this thread to answer all of those questions. If a question you have is not listed below, feel free to make a post. I, along with others, will also be recommending shows for people. Read below to find more information on that.

Recommendations
The anime help desk is run by myself and other members of Archive. We will also be helping you find an anime that you'd be interested in watching. When posting to find an anime to watch, please specify a genre, or an anime similar to that of what you want to find; We will then find things for you to watch that suits you.

Anime Help Desk Rules

• Feel free to ask anything - as long as its anime related.
  
• No mini-conversations.
  
• Don't post unless it is a question(s).
  
• Do not answer peoples questions, this is only for Archive members to answer.

FAQ about Anime:

Kira Wrote: I want to know is (x) anime show is worth watching. Where do I go?

• A useful website for that would be MyAnimeList - which shows you recommendations of anime to watch (if you signed up and created a list of all the anime you've watched so far), as well as showing you reviews of anime shows made by other members on MyAnimeList.
  
  Another thing that could be used is these two subreddits, Link, and Link 2, that were created on Reddit. These two will provide recommendations for anime shows you should watch as well if you feel MyAnimeList doesn't provide the anime you're looking for.

Kira Wrote: What show is this gif/screenshot/fan art from?

• You can usually find out by using a Reverse Image Search Engine. This link will show you a complete guide about them and how to use them effectively.

Kira Wrote: I finished x series, where should I pick up in the manga to continue the story?

• If you want to know where the anime ends compared to its source manga, check mangaupdates. It lists the volume and chapter the anime starts and ends at compared to the manga, so you can continue the story in the manga. Note: They won't always list if any chapters are skipped, but they will list if the anime has a different ending compared to the manga. However, you should start reading from the first chapter because of often times anime shows leave out things or change parts, so it may be different.

Kira Wrote: Is anime x going to get another season?

• That could be easily answered by using Google. Just search up 'Is x getting a season y?'.

Kira Wrote: What does OVA/OAV mean?

• This means Original Video Animation. In normal terms, this means a direct to video release. It's intended to be a series/episode that was formatted and meant for release on video, as opposed to release in theaters or on television. It's usually extra episodes or 'specials' they add onto series.

Anime News
This section will be edited each week, showing you news about the anime world!

Case Closed: This week marks the 20th Anniversary for the Case Closed anime series! Looking back on it, you couldn't believe it's been that long, what a nolstagic feeling.

The series is still up and running after its debut 20 years ago! Even though it has been ages since the show first aired, the leading character - Shinichi Kudo, teen detective, still hasn't grown an inch since the first episode! The manga is still ongoing, but once it ends - will the anime end as well? Several say it will, while others point towards Naruto and Naruto Shippuden as examples of anime series living on even after the manga. We'll just have to wait and see if the anime continues! Congratulations to the show for hitting the 20th year mark! Click here to learn more about Case Closed.

I put a bunch of anime into the "Plan to Watch" category. Which ones should I keep and which ones should I drop?

For me at least - K-on story line isn't really a story. It's like how would you call it - a popcorn/cotton candy. A light snack, but if you're looking for a full-course dinner, you'll be looking for something better to eat after it's done. It didn't really give me much of a musical vibe. Overall I wouldn't keep it, but who knows? There are mixed reviews, so you might find it more interesting than I have.

This review on Myanimelist really described what I was feeling for Bakuman:
"They are young. They are passionate. They are on the verge of launching out onto their own lives. "Bakuman" fits that niche for viewers like me who are transitioning in their lives from teens to adults. And it's also interesting since it deals with a subject that you usually don't see in manga/anime: the lives of mangakas themselves!
For me, it's definitely a keeper.

Love live Sunshine was kind of a mixed feeling thing. I heard they were starting with a new cast of characters, so I was in the middle at the time. It supports the original series though, and it was well thought out. It had some issues, but I'd watch it.

All of these are my opinion, you might not like them/love them as much as I did, but have a go at them.

We had something like this for my old group, Revelate.
Glad to see someone taking over c:
Nice thread!

Oh, that's cool! Thanks!

Should I watch "Is the Order a Rabbit?" ?
It looks like a good anime but the characters look like little girls and I don't want to look like a pedophile.

It's not exceptionally good - but not bad either.
Just something you can watch if you're bored.
+ You already look like a pedophile so it won't matter.
