hikari3 is an English anonymous image board, similar to sites like Futaba Channel, 4chan, and its many derivitives, but with a focus of being more comfy than those through a pretty tight knit community with a bit of moderation but trying not have something that's "forced comfy".

I started it on May 21st, 2023 and it continues to run (formerly by mom's credit cards) via college financial aid.

The primary focus at hikari3 is discussion surrounding chinese cartoons (anime), manga, video games, technology, etc. but these aren't the only topics discussed on the site.

Image Board footnotes

/en/ - General

The board for threads with topics that don't fit any of the other boards. By far the most active board (has surpassed 10k posts while all other boards have only surpassed 1k) meaning there are funny posts, actually interesting posts, and horrible posts. (This could apply to all boards but it's moreso this one.)

/a/ - Anime & Manga

baleeted

/jp/ - Japanese Culture

delteeted

/jp/ - Otaku Culture

It's as the name suggests, used to be split but was merged to reduce board bloat. One of the less active boards as of late, but it has some interesting threads.

/v/ - Video Games

it's fukken vidya gaems. Game nights happen here (At least until May 2025).

Discussion relating to technology and proramming. gtfo windows and macfriends The most active of the interest boards I think.
