posted on 28.04.2024 19:44 by CDB-Man

Happy 2024 Spring!



Happy Spring to all! This marks the 6.5 year milestone since we first reached out to the AniDB community for assistance, back in December 2017. We are grateful for all the community support that keeps AniDB alive. Our 2023 Summer fundraising post raised enough funds to support AniDB for 9 months!

With that, we’re pleased to announce our 2024 Spring fundraising post, and the winner of our 2024 Spring Patreon banner contest; congratulations aroptua for an excellent banner! Thank you also to JimKi for participating.

We hope that everyone enjoys the Spring!


Anyone subscribed to our Patreon campaign before this post should be charged on 2024-May-01 for your contribution to AniDB. We try hard to be as frugal as possible with your assistance, and try to avoid any build-up of excess outside of our set emergency fund. Because of this, our next fundraising post will likely not need to be until end of 2024 / early 2025. Refer to our Donations page for details. Thank you once again for your support and keeping us running!

This hair length is longer than what one would typically, though not always, see on most males. Short hair includes hair that goes no more than a centimetre or two beyond the chin; anything longer is shoulder-length. Typical male hair at the back of the head which reaches the shoulders does not count as shoulder-length hair; the individual hair strands are very short (0-4 cm), and therefore count as short hair., traitorno description set

Medium breasts are what would be considered normal size in real life, whereas below average sized breasts are called small breasts., novelA novel is a relatively long work of narrative fiction, normally written in prose form, and which is typically published as a book.

conspiracyThe conspiracy thriller (or paranoid thriller) is a sub-genre of the thriller which flourished in the 1970s in the US (and was echoed in other parts of the world) in the wake of a number of high-profile scandals and controversies (most notably Vietnam, the assassination of President Kennedy, Chappaquiddick and Watergate), and which exposed what many people regarded as the clandestine machinations and conspiracies beneath the orderly fabric of political life. The protagonists of conspiracy thrillers are often journalists or amateur investigators who find themselves (often inadvertently) pulling on a small thread which unravels a vast conspiracy that ultimately goes "all the way to the top"., militaryThe military, also known as the armed forces, are forces authorized and legally entitled to use deadly force so as to support the interests of the state and its citizens. The task of the military is usually defined as defence of the state and its citizens and the prosecution of war against foreign powers. The military may also have additional functions within a society, including construction, emergency services, social ceremonies, and guarding critical areas., novelA novel is a relatively long work of narrative fiction, normally written in prose form, and which is typically published as a book.

The hero of a typical thriller faces danger alone or in the company of a small band of companions. The protagonist may be a law enforcement agent, a journalist, or a soldier, but typically he or she is cut off from the resources of "their" organization., time travelIn time travel anime characters are transported through time either figuratively or literally to find themselves either in the past or the future, visual novelThe two terms are similar yet different, however, the fact that they look and `feel` the same outweighs the technical differences. For clarification, visual novels are considered a sub-genre of adventure games and the term does not cover simulations.
