I liked the anime discussions because I don't speak Japanese and there's often stuff that is not translated well (at least in the first official subs) that people will go out of their way to explain the language (or reasons for changes) or cultural significance of things that don't exist in other places. Also if one has read the source, one can discuss the differences, or if not, one can get clarification from readers on some things without getting spoilers one did not ask for. There's also nintendoswitch subreddit I used to look at for upcoming releases and opinions, nintendolife.com is ok, but not nearly the breadth of activity.
