Hot
Last Updated: June 5, 2026 · Effective: June 5, 2026
Anime.com is a community for anime fans. We want everyone to feel safe talking about the shows, characters, and creators they love. These guidelines apply to every part of Anime.com — posts, reviews, comments, tier lists, grids, direct messages, profile information, and any images you upload.
Following these guidelines isn’t optional. If your content or behavior breaks them, we’ll act.
We built Anime.com because we wanted a place where anime fans could be themselves — talk about the shows they’re watching, share hot takes, post fan content, and find people who get it. To keep that working, we expect everyone to:
We remove content and may suspend or permanently ban accounts for any of the following:
Targeted attacks, threats, sustained hostility, organized pile-ons, or repeated unwanted contact with another user.
Content attacking people based on race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, age, or other protected characteristics. Slurs targeted at any of these groups.
Pornographic content, sexually explicit text or imagery, sexually suggestive content involving real people, and unwanted sexual messages. Discussions of anime fanservice in a critical context are fine; depicting or sharing explicit imagery is not.
Zero tolerance. Any content depicting, sexualizing, or facilitating the abuse of minors is reported to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) and to law enforcement. Accounts are permanently banned and may be referred for prosecution. See Section 5.
Graphic depictions of real-world violence, credible threats of violence against people, glorification of attacks, and content that promotes terrorism or mass violence.
Content that encourages, promotes, or provides instructions for self-harm or suicide. We surface support resources to users who appear to be in crisis. Talking about your own struggles or supporting others is allowed.
Drug sales, weapons trafficking, human trafficking, distribution of pirated content, fraud, and other illegal acts.
Pretending to be another person, brand, or official Anime.com account. Scams, phishing, deceptive solicitations, and fake giveaways.
Sharing private personal information about others without consent — home addresses, phone numbers, workplace details, financial information, or identifying real-world identities of people who haven’t disclosed them.
Repetitive content, mass-posting, coordinated inauthentic behavior, fake accounts, vote/follow manipulation, and engagement farming.
Posting content you don’t own or have rights to use. This includes sharing pirated anime episodes, unlicensed merchandise listings, and copying other creators’ work without credit.
The rules above apply equally to direct messages. Harassment, unwanted sexual messages, spam, and scams in DMs are subject to the same enforcement.
All text and image submissions pass through automated content moderation before publishing. We supplement automated tools with human review.
You can report any post, review, comment, direct message, uploaded image, or user profile by long-pressing the content and selecting Report. Reports route to our moderation team.
You can block any user from their profile or from any DM thread. When you block someone:
We review reports and respond within 24 hours. Severe violations (CSAM, credible threats of violence, doxxing) are prioritized and acted on immediately.
Repeat or coordinated violations escalate quickly. We reserve the right to skip warnings for severe violations.
If you believe we took action against your content or account in error, you can appeal within 30 days of the action.
Email support@anime.com with:
We respond to appeals within 5 business days. Appeal decisions are final.
Anime.com has zero tolerance for child sexual abuse material (CSAM).
This includes any content that depicts, sexualizes, or facilitates the abuse of minors — including AI-generated and stylized illustrations of minors in sexual contexts.
When we identify suspected CSAM, we:
If you encounter content that may be CSAM on Anime.com, report it immediately through the in-app report flow or email support@anime.com. You can also report directly to NCMEC at report.cybertip.org.
Age requirements. Anime.com requires users to be at least 13 years old. If a user discloses that they are under 13, report it immediately to support@anime.com. Do not engage with the user about their age or publicly comment on the user’s account status.
Beyond the in-app report flow:
We may update these Community Guidelines as our community grows and new patterns of harm emerge. Material changes will be announced in-app.
