>>55After few days I found a time to write an reply. It was really interesting & helpful to learn LORE & history behind Afternoon. I'm deeply touched.
>>14High quality reply imo, I'm a humble adept of zen buddism myself, see nothing wrong with this particular reply.
The Yokohama Trip does have some zen vibe theme as well.
yuki kajura - yasahii yaoke playing rn in my mind, a lot of yuki osts do play and stayed there after 1,5 decades.

I've been occasional visitor to misago site, briefly, just a couple of times around 200x decade. Heard of ykkaria existence around 2010+/-, I can't recall precisely, but hadn't visit, cuz I was busy being a mod at another jpop-culture community. As of now, wish I was present at ykkaria.
I had read Yokohama manga and seen OVAs, and liked both very much. But it was more than 15 years ago, so I able to remember only some brief aspects.
I've dropped watching anime 10 years ago, after watched couple hundred titles. When I began my anime adventure as a teenager, I've treated it like an art, and looked for better art scenarios, stories, however was disappointed when saw most of people around me watching some casual mass produced genres, without any depth, or thing to learn. I like when a good story leaves me in a good place afterwards, when I don't want to regret time spent on nonsense.
Recently, I've been getting in to reading manga again, and last things were BLAME! , Knights of Cydonia, flcl.
Maybe I should reread Yokohama. I haven't seen ARIA thought. But I'm experiencing mandela effect like it was some file software or protocol something like aria2:// ? idk
I also watched a lot of anime back then with a goal to connect to like minded people, but in the end I learned not many people share my preference, it became harder to connect, and anime/manga industry is 90% mass production fillers, and only 10% may be some artfully crafted n good, like in music industry, cinema, and other industries.
My first community were closed due company closure. We tried to stay friends around staff, but after few years everyone took separate roads in life. Then I visited for a while a board in spare time, community there was well mannered, respectful, helpful, people recorded albums, made manga, games together and other creative staff. It had kind spirit. But it been closed one day. And since not many people had outside contact with each other, it was centralized, community connections been lost. Survived parts moved to other "chan", and then it closed again. And it repeated itself. Also, worth mentioning, during this time, community forums became easy target for spammers & simply bad actors. So people began discussing possibility of relying on serverless p2p architecture, with trust based consensus keyring.
But I haven't seen many successful implementations, and after decade those concept just stay concept.
Today boards are still vulnerable to trolls, disinfo. Trust is not something that is granted from scratch per se, but something that should be earned, or logically derived equation. TO have an available option to enable premoderation of posts in future, just in case of need, may help, maybe.
