You’ve got a very optimistic outlook. Let’s hope you’re right about the community actually getting bigger if we have episode discussion threads. Worst that can happen is we end up with bot spam and empty threads.

Not quite sure about this. Honestly, this community is way too small to have lively discussions every anime episode that airs. The home page might just look like the episode bot spamming lots of posts with around 3 to 4 comments. We need to get bigger as a community first before this.
