LINE Journey
In 2015, Anime Date was officially established as an Official Account (OA) on LINE by two individuals named L and R. Starting from curiosity and a casual interest, the account gradually grew into a community hub for various anime and Japanese pop culture activities. These activities included creating daily anime content, online communities, digital competitions, open chat sessions, and even forming offline communities through events and gatherings. Over time, Anime Date experienced significant growth, starting with 250 adders, then reaching 2,500, and eventually surpassing 25,000 adders. One of the key factors driving this growth was the regeneration of admins at each phase, which contributed to the account’s expansion, ultimately reaching 45,000 adders in 2017.However, in the same year, LINE began executing various restrictions on the activities of Official Account communities. These included broadcast limitations, strict copyright policies with the risk of instant bans, limits on the number of monthly posts, and more. These restrictions made it difficult for long-established OAs to sustain and for newer OAs to grow.Facing this situation, an admin of Anime Date from the 2,500-adders phase, named "I", decided to expand Anime Date's reach to Instagram under the name @anime.date. Drawing from his experience on LINE, "I" introduced the most popular content from the platform, such as memes and anime-themed LINE themes. This strategy proved highly effective, as @anime.date managed to gain 10,000 followers in just three months. Seeing the tremendous potential on Instagram, "I" decided to step down as an admin of Anime Date on LINE to fully focus on managing and developing @anime.date.
IG Journey
During this period, particularly in 2018–2019, Anime Date on Instagram continued to grow rapidly. Unfortunately, at the same time, Anime Date's activity on LINE began to decline significantly due to the restrictions imposed in 2017. Ultimately, LINE as a platform was gradually abandoned, leaving Instagram @anime.date as the only active channel to this dayVarious innovations, such as the Otaku Tuh Pintar segment, Otaku Harus Tahu, Otaku Must Know, and Otaku Discussion, were introduced, driving the growth of Anime Date’s Instagram to 100k followers. During this period, Owner "I" decided to recruit Admin Tanaka as the main admin from late 2019 to 2020 to help manage daily content development. Unfortunately, in 2021, Owner "I" was forced to take a hiatus due to academic reasons, leaving Admin Tanaka in charge of Instagram @anime.date until mid-2022.By mid-2022, a significant decline in followers’ interest, combined with personal life challenges and academic demands (including college & preparing for the SBMPTN once again at the same time), led Owner "I" to make the difficult decision to put Instagram @anime.date on hiatus entirely, including deactivating all active admin roles. In April 2024, as the author, Admin "I" is committed to rebuilding and improving everything that has happened with Anime Date. We believe that hope will always exist for those who believe in it.
