2020 was a long year for many reasons and I myself as an anime fan and member of an anime community took a step back. I had gone silent, even becoming a ghost member in my WhatsApp group. Thus, I decided no more and that this year I would step it up and actually get engaging with the community I had built up and reach out to other anime fans and communities. I aim to do this by asking a question each week that I would genuinely like to know the answer too.
This post is an over looking glance at some of the really great answers I have received to the January questions. I started by putting using the tag #AnimeTalkTuesday so it was easy to keep track of and interact. You may have noticed I specify Tuesday as the talking day, this helps keep me focused and on track.
If you would like to join, feel free to do so. As I said I really wanna get engaged with the anime community and will chat any day and will respond to every answer – even if it’s not Tuesday. I posted the questions to:
I also posted the question in my anime WhatsApp group where there was a lot of interaction and I am planning on expanding the platforms to include the Discord Server and onto my TikTok account. Although, TikTok will only be from March 2021.
As per normal, when I start a new feature like this, and because I had dropped the ball last year, the uptake was on some days really low. Other days surprised me at how engaging the groups and social platforms were. I think finding the right questions will help as well as picking a time in the day when people are likely to see the post.
Here is a look at how the first month did:
