We're going to make this a weekly mini-contest where we ask something related to Anime. Read the rules carefully.
Ask Anime Question of the Week:
Think about shows of the past that created more interest in their respective genres.
Ex. Gundam series for Mecha or Sword Art Online for Isekai Fantasy back in 2012.
I'm not saying these were the first shows that represented the genre but these were the shows that helped put their respective genres on the map. Video Game Anime or Isekai Fantasy didn't boom until shows like Sword Art Online got some hype back in 2012. These are shows that didn't pioneer the genre but generated more interest than its predecessors for the genre.
You can use the example mentioned above or have a different opinion. Winners are picked based on context and how they present theirs. There are right answers here, it's just a subjective taste.
Rules:
- Comment your answer to the weekly question to this post as an entry.
- Must be in English but you can attach a section for a different language too as long as there is an English section that conveys the same thought.
- No need to make a post about the contest or use a specific tag for your post. You can still post about this but it serves no purpose in picking a winner.
- Tag someone who you think might be interested in joining (optional) but if that person participates in the event, there's a bonus reward IF either of you wins. In cases where multiple users tag the same person, we'll count only the user that mentioned that person first as evidenced by the time stamp on the blockchain.
- Comments must be below 4 sentences for the actual entry. There's no need to comment 4 sentences for an entry, it's just a max number to avoid the entries becoming long form posts. If you have conversations in the comment section, make sure it's done on a separate comment/reply section.
- Response must not be AI generated. While this can sometimes be a challenge to detect and prove, it's not worth trying because you're being asked to share in your own words.
- Only 1 winner will be picked. Criteria for judging will not be disclosed but the closest hint available is: put some thought into your answer within the limited number of sentences available.
Notes: Think less of this as a contest and more of an avenue to share your thoughts and get more exposure within the community. We'll adapt the mechanics of the contest depending on the outcome of the previous contests so expect rules can change in the future.
Prize: The winner will receive 1 Hive.
If you won and tagged another user that participated in the mini-contest, you get 2 Hive and the other person you tagged gets 0.5 Hive.
If the person you tagged won, they get 2 Hive and you get 0.5 Hive for tagging them along.
