I mentioned Doki in the previous post about Linux.do and NodeLoc, but I hadn’t figured out how to write about it then. After thinking about it recently, I realized these can all be considered ACG forums, so I’ll just record them all for now.

I first saw Bangumi mentioned in the profile of a kind soul running a public service site on L-station, and that’s when I realized there was such a holy land for ACG. I really was out of touch before, never knew there were so many communities online. I remembered it, but only just now got around to registering an account and being active there, haha.
NOTEBangumi (番组计划, bangumi.tv) is a Chinese interest community + media database centered around ACGN (Animation, Comics, Games, Novels, etc.).
It primarily serves Chinese users, offering features for cataloging works, tracking progress, rating and reviewing, managing collections, and discussions. It’s similar to MyAnimeList / AniList in the Chinese sphere, but with a broader scope (anime, manga, games, books, music, etc.) and strong community aspects.
Key Features
- Work Database and Progress Management: Users can record watch/read/play progress, rate, write short/long reviews, tag, and create collections.
- Community and Discussion: Features like entry discussions, groups, and logs facilitate communication among enthusiasts.
- User-driven and Relatively “Hardcore”: The overall atmosphere is interest-driven, emphasizing the quality of records and evaluations. Users are often deep ACG enthusiasts, discussions are relatively serious, and it has its own memes and culture.
- Social Features: Friends, timelines, groups, etc., allow for the formation of small circles for interaction.
Grok4.5’s One-Sentence Summary
It is a Chinese ACGN enthusiast platform centered on work cataloging and ratings, with integrated community discussions, suitable for both personal organization of “watched/watching/want to watch” lists and for finding like-minded individuals to interact with.
NOTEBangumi is not a site for tracking ongoing anime; it’s mainly for cataloging entries, rating, and viewing discussions. The first time you visit, just click on a few entries and groups; it’s faster than reading a long introduction.
Note: It is not an entertainment news portal or a bullet-comment video site, but rather a community focused on “collection + evaluation + interest-based social interaction.” The site’s content is primarily user-contributed and organized.
My Experience
The ACG content there is indeed hardcore, and it gathers a ton of works. After I joined, I also posted a small thread, an AI-summarized self-introduction, and then joined a https://bangumi.tv/dev/app/4337. I chatted a bit there, and indeed, there are many amazing folks! As expected, we ACG fans are all super awesome, hahaha.
Doki Chinese Club

My account: Amiya_desi - Doki Chinese Club
I joined this community in April after encountering Doki Doki Literature Club!, and it was my first time experiencing something like a community. It seems that domestically, this community is more commonly called ‘Mopan’ (Monika’s Drive), mainly because it’s used to download DDLC fan games and distribute personal resources. My original ddlc解包的素材 was also obtained from here, and the blus skies I played was downloaded here, as well as resources related to the famous mas（monika after story）.
NOTE
Doki Chinese Clubis a Chinese player/fan community themed around《Doki Doki Literature Club!》(Doki Doki Literature Club / DDLC).It primarily serves Chinese users, gathering fans who love this psychological horror visual novel. Common activities include:
- Discussing game plot, characters (Monika, Sayori, Yuri, Natsuki, etc.), and hidden elements.
- Sharing fan art, fan fiction, cosplay, handmade crafts, and other secondary creations.
- Exchanging official and fan-made Chinese translations, mods, revisions/versions, music, and theoretical analyses.
- Related memes, emojis, and light role-playing/Literature Club-style interactions.
NOTEDoki is mainly for DDLC mods, fan works, and resource exchange. Before downloading or posting, check the categories, pinned posts, and instructions.

There are quite a lot of R18 resources. Community Forum Tasks South+ South Plus - powered by Pu!mdHd is where you can get forum currency to buy some of those resources. Yeah, there are indeed many R18 resources here, and all sorts of strange R18 short stories.
There are also some net-earning sections for cloud drives here. If you’re doing that yourself and have these kinds of resources, you could try contributing them here.
NOTESouth Plus (南+ / 南加) is a Chinese online forum/community primarily focused on adult content. It mainly serves Chinese users, with its core being the sharing and discussion of adult-oriented content, including:
- Sharing adult videos, images, novels, and other resources.
- Discussions on related topics (fetishes, experiences, resource exchange, etc.).
- It sometimes also covers sections like anime, games, and lifestyle, but the overall focus remains adult content.
Its characteristics are roughly as follows:
- Adult-oriented / NSFW Community: The content scale is quite large, making it a typical “porn site” forum.
- Resource-driven: Users primarily share, seek, and discuss adult content.
- It has a certain reputation within the adult/underground circles of the Chinese internet but is a niche and content-sensitive community.
