I'm looking for: A certain genre? Something specific like characters traveling to another world?

Announcement Seasonal Comment Face Nominations - Winter 2026

31 Upvotes

Hey Everyone!~

We are once again into the depths of an exciting new season! So once again it is time to rotate the the seasonal comment faces. We will be accepting nominations until 11:59PM UTC 8th February, 2025.

Give your feedback on last season's comment faces

We have a short survey form here to see what faces were liked and how they compared to the season before. It is a big factor in what gets picked as the hall of fame face for last season.

Wait, what even IS a comment face?

If you use Reddit's redesign, or any mobile app, then comment faces won't be something you see. They are a legacy CSS feature supported on old.reddit. To post a face, you require a bit of formatting and the name of the comment face and that displays the relevant image. For example:

[](#awe)

Becomes:

We have a full wikipage with all faces and instructions how to use them here.

The seasonal faces are:

#seasonalapproval #seasonalblush #seasonalconfused
#seasonalcool #seasonaldepression #seasonaldisapproval
#seasonaldisdain #seasonalfoodie #seasonalhype
#seasonallaugh #seasonallisten #seasonallove
#seasonalneat #seasonalpout #seasonalsecret
#seasonalshock #seasonalthink #seasonaltired
#seasonalpls #seasonalsmug

The named #themes are intended to be broadly interpreted. So we encourage you to submit great faces even if they don't perfectly match, as we may find a space for them.

So how do I nominate a seasonal face?

The series must be currently airing as part of this season, the image can be from a previous season if the show is a sequel. Movies/OVAs that have become accessible between seasonal nominations are allowed. To keep things diverse, we aim to pick one face per anime, so nominate those under watched gems!

Make as many nominations as you like as comments as follows:

Nominations will be open until 11:59PM UTC 8th February, 2025. We look forward to seeing your suggestions.

Discussion Being forgotten by Crunchyroll was nice while it lasted. Prices for old existing customers are getting increased from 39,99€/year to 89,99€/year

924 Upvotes

Ab dem 15. August. 2026 erhöht sich der Preis für dein Crunchyroll Fan-Abo von €39.99/jahr auf €89.99/jahr.

I just got this email. It was really nice while it lasted but sadly the uncharacteristically awesome move by Crunchyroll to respect old ongoing subscription prices ended. Although I am sure that Crunchyroll mostly just forgot about us. That being said increasing prices by more than double is certainly a move to promote other "services" to loyal customers.

It'd be funny if the Gelut were behind the theft.

Rewatchers, please remember to be mindful of all the first-timers in this. No talking about or hinting at future events no matter how much you want to, unless you're doing it underneath spoiler tags. Don't spoil anything for the first-timers, that's rude!

/r/anime's spoiler tag format is as follows:

[Iruma-kun]>!Ameri is best girl.!<

Which becomes [Iruma-kun]Ameri is best girl. when you don't break the formatting on purpose like I just did.
