If you’re familiar with Anime, then you’re probably acutely aware of the idea of Guilds. Whether they be magicians, adventurers, merchants, or even thieves, Guilds exist so that people can find like-minded individuals — while also taking on jobs specific to their skillsets. The best side effect is often that they make incredible friendships along the way!

So that got us here at SUGOI thinking… if Guilds existed for Anime Content Creators, what would they look like?

Based on observations we’ve gathered over the past few months, we’ve come up with a few ideas!

Journalist Guild

Experts at analyzing, dissecting, and presenting data… these Anime Creators excel at educating the community of the goings on in every facet of the Anime Sphere.

Looking for insights on why the release date of your favorite anime was delayed? Controversy over the ending of a particular anime? Information about the producers of your favorite Anime series? This Guild has your back! The amount of information that they’re able to digest and broadcast is nothing short of impressive. It’s as if the sea of information beckons, and they must depart to share it!

Empath Guild

Authentically expressive by nature, members of this Guild are professionals at giving their viewers the opportunity to feel just as excited, thrilled, or heartbroken as they are. And boy are they able to feel every emotion in the book!

Have a new trailer that you’d like hyped up? Maybe a brand new teaser clip? Share it with this Guild! They will take the emotions you worked so hard to create, and share that gift with their communities.

At a time where the world is often starving for emotional connection, leaning on this Guild for help could prove critical. Viewers can feel as though they are in the room right alongside them. Whether laughing or crying… the emotions are finally shared.

Sage Guild

Keen masters of detail, these fans digest vast quantities of information to draw their own conclusions and theories. No easter egg ever makes it past these die-hard creators who pour over every last scene to uncover truths that enrich Anime universes.

Whether it’s a pages long forum post or a detailed video, Sages wield their impressive breadth of knowledge to draw compelling conclusions about their favorite series. Because of this depth of knowledge, they often have excellent recommendations that can suit any taste or preference.

Trying to find out which Anime is most worth your time in the new year? Sages provide well thought out suggestions that viewers can trust.

Artist Guild

Passion fuels this Guild. Their passion for Anime grants them the drive, endurance, and creativity required to create beautiful new works of art from their favorite Anime titles. Often sifting through hours of media to find the perfect clip for each scene, it’s evident that their patience knows no bounds.

Most commonly, they adore creating Anime Music Videos (often referenced to as AMV’s). As quoted by an anonymous member:

Anime lends itself really well to AMV’s since it’s so beautifully choreographed. It’s easy to pull material from the show and stitch it together into my own concept.

Because of the talent and creative genius of these members, their viewers are able to experience their favorite Anime over and over again, from passionate new perspectives.

So, which Guild calls out to you? Is your Guild missing? Let us know!
