Did You Know?!

⚠️ : I use this symbol as a warning sign in every post. Mostly of them are Yaoi hentai or even shota. Contains
mature/adult scene.

❤️: This symbol is a fluffy or safe sign that I used in every post with Shounen-ai genre.

♨️: Post with this symbol originally not BL but have BROMANCE vibes whether its the author nor fans made it.

⚜️: This genre come from Korea that called BL - animation / Aeni.

📍: I used this to every Live-action theme.

🧧: Genre of this post is Donghua.

Check here for the example: https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=100621298834476&id=100066598171554

SO....

BL : ⚠️ Yaoi ( Japan ) - Manga

🧧 Donghua ( China ) - Manhua

⚜️ BL-animation/aeni ( Korea) - Manhwa

📌 China has strictly rules that they will block gay content. Blocked content includes images, illustrations, videos, and
text uploads. So there will be no kiss / smut scene in every anime or comic in Donghua nor Manhua.

📌Another genre has been born since every Fujodanshi really fast to catch every ships moment on anime:

♨️BROMANCE Vibe

ONA

•An original net animation (ONA), is an anime that is directly released onto the Internet. ONAs may also have been aired
on television if they were first directly released on the Internet.

OVA:

•Created for selling by online •Originally release direct-to-video •No limitations (censorship) •For mature audience
•Isn't related to the Anime itself •Doesn't air on tv or in theaters •Usually a spin off the show like a filler episode •Non-
canon •Made by the creators just for fun and fan service •Episodes that are released to the market or simply straight to
DVD's

MOVIE:

•A work of visual art used to simulate experiences that communicate ideas, stories, perceptions, feelings, beauty, or
atmosphere through the use of moving images •Shown in teaters •Theatrical release •Currently DVD and Blu-Ray
ANIME SERIES: •broad-casted weekly (13 or more weeks) •It has advertisements and censorship •no pantsu scene, no
violence scene •basically the show

SPECIALS : •These too are intended for broadcast like the Anime show, but it is generally longer than the original show
timing and is a one shot •Be aired on television or be watched on DVD's

♦An OVA could be considered a category of anime, so an OVA is anime but not all anime are OVAs.

♦Special episodes and OVA's have no consistent length. We can watch it within a few minutes, ten, 20 or more. They
also have two kinds. One is that both can be independent upon the plot of the show (related to the series), could be
connected to it (canon) and the other one being not related to the show or a time to take a break from the storyline (or
could be a standalone).

♦ Most of the time though, we will see that Special episodes are more of a parody or a non-canon than an OVA. Because
some OVA are created and are related to the series.
