Some of the most popular and/or heavily talked about new anime shows of the last few years are Love Live!, Shirobako, and Sound! Euphonium. What do they all have in common? They never received an AS subforum.
And in fact, the only AS subforums for currently airing anime series' are also for older well-established franchises.
Subforums for truly new hot properties can become great draws for Anime Suki. I saw this with Madoka Magica, with Sword Art Online, with Valvrave the Liberator, and with Aldnoah.Zero. Subforums for new popular shows can help bring in large new audiences, and an excitement crackles through the electronic air as character discussion threads and speculation threads and episode threads all take off.
But recently, AS subforums are increasingly dominated by the old. Let me be blunt - The only people likely to get excited about Nanoha ViVid or The Disappearance of Nagato Yuki-chan are people like me: People that are fans of the original anime that helped give birth to these spinoffs. Those communities tend to hit a holding pattern after awhile, as age slows down its growth. I'm glad those subforum communities are there, but I think its important to recognize that they probably won't help a site grow.
But what can bring in people are brand new anime franchises, that are neither sequel nor prequel nor spinoff of an older anime title. AS has been lacking in new subforums for these sorts of shows lately, as I'm pretty sure Kancolle is the only new AS subforum that's been created for such a "new IP to anime" anime show in 2015.
To be fair, this is mainly a side-effect of the recent domination of sequels and spinoffs in the anime world. A domination that looks to continue through the Summer 2015 season, and possibly the rest of the year.
However, because of these circumstances, and because of the benefits that new AS subforums can bring, my feedback is this - More aggressive AS subforum creation would be good for the future. Perhaps there are some older quantifiable measurements that play into subforum creation decision-making, and perhaps Shirobako or Sound! Euphonium didn't hit them as quickly as hoped for. If this is the case, then maybe those measurements need to be revised downwards, to something that gives new anime IPs a real chance anyway.
tl;dr I'd like to see more AS subforums, particularly for brand new (to anime) IPs. Love Live! is immensely popular, and it having a dedicated subforum could have been great for this site. And now I'm seeing a similar possibility with Hibike. I recommend more aggressive subforum creation.
What do other people here think? :)
