Editing /a/

{{stub}}

'''/a/''' is the [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] board of [[4chan]].  They (and lots of works related to them) are mentioned on [[/tg/]]'s wiki because Japanese culture has traditional games, too, and many authors and animators are fans of them.  Some western works are also making their way into anime, like the [[Cthulhu Mythos]]-inspired ("-inspired" used very loosely) "Haiyore! Nyarko-San".

== Trivia ==
* The most accepted demonym for /a/ denizens is "/a/non" if you're being kind, or "f/a/ggot" if you are not.
* The average /a/ thread has a lifespan of three hours before dropping off page 15.
* The Big Three anime/manga franchises (Bleach, Naruto, and One Piece) are treated mostly with disdain and disgust by anons on /a/, due to hivemind and hipster tendencies. Please do not make a thread on /a/ to discuss them outside of days when new chapters are released.
**following the conclusions of bleach and Naruto, it is more acceptable to mention them. 
* /a/ was the first board to be created after /b/, due to the sheer outpouring of /a/nime-related posts in its earliest days. 
**Subsequently, /jp/ was created from /a/ to contain the shitstorm of [[Touhou]] posting that threatened to overwhelm the board.
**/m/ was created from /a/ so that those weird /m/echa fans would actually have a place to discuss their fandom without it instantly being pushed to page 10.
**/c/ was created to handle character image dumps that moot hates, and keep /a/ focused on actually discussing /a/nime and manga.
**/w/ was the first wallpaper board to be made, for similar reasons.

* [[Approved anime]], a list of anime that are generally approved by most people on [[/tg/]].
* [[BESM]], a defunct roleplaying game meant to "feel like" anime (with setting books licensed from several popular anime shows).
