This week on the #AniMangaPictureChallenge, @anicasts suggested we get lost in the:
🧍♂️🧍🧍♀️ Crowds 🧍♀️🧍♂️🧍
There's tons of ways characters from #anime and #manga experience crowds. Maybe it's a busy day shopping, or fleeing an oncoming attack with so many others, or something else entirely!
Show us your favorite instances of crowds by @-ing @apc and by using the hashtag #AniMangaFoundIt to help make sure your post is seen.
Send your entry by May 31st to get into the community collage.
This week on the #AniMangaPictureChallenge, we #AniMangaFoundIt dumb phones across #anime and #manga.

After the brief discussion with @poppyhillz and @anime this morning about revisiting old favourites, I put on a couple of episodes of Barakamon - my all time favourite slice-of-life #anime .
Lo and behold, I found a perfect entry for this week's #AniMangaPictureChallenge ( @apc ), "Dumb Phones"!
Barakamon was my very first submission to the #AniMangaPictureChallenge , back in August 2024. I think it's okay to use it again now. :)
After his flip phone breaks after a dunk in the sea, Handa is left without any way of contacting his friend and family in Tokyo. He takes a walk to the local store to use the phone, and is confronted by... an even dumber phone!
Much to the delight of the local children, Handa has no idea what he's doing.
This week on the #AniMangaPictureChallenge, we're looking for:
☎️ Dumb Phones 📞
You can tell when an #anime or #manga was made after 2007 because the "dumb" flip phones and phones with physical keyboards that came in all sorts of shapes and sizes quickly gave away to "smart" touch screen phones, which is kinda a shame!
Show us your favorite dumb phones from the past by @-ing @apc and by using the hashtag #AniMangaFoundIt.
Send your entry by May 24th to be included in the community collage.
This week on the #AniMangaPictureChallenge, we #AniMangaFoundIt our favorite #anime and #manga we experienced... this week.

This week's #AniMangaPictureChallenge ( @apc ) is, well, "This Week".
To absolutely no-one's surprise, I'm going to talk about "Go for It, Nakamura-kun!".
I believe that improved acceptance of the LGBTQ+ community will be helped by "casual" queer representation - where the characters' sexuality or gender identity is just part of an existing formula or plot rather than the central focus of a piece of media. Therefore, I love queer takes on existing tropes.
"Go for It, Nakamura-kun!" is the gay equivalent of the "Hopelessly unrequited love" / "Awkward & cringeworthy teenage crush" show.
It's simultaneously hilarious, heartwarming, awkward, and relatable - and I love the styling of the animation, which throws back to 90s/00s style, with some banger retro pop EDs.
This week on the #AniMangaPictureChallenge, we're going to gauge what we're watching and reading:
