- Took a quick glance at the portal--looks nice. Noticed that the "News" section doesn't have credits, nor does it have links to the source articles. I see you link to Wikinews. Any reason why you aren't using the Wikinews ImporterBot? – Lionel (talk) 04:36, 30 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- We don't update news from a bot, I usually update the news myself for animation related events like The Simpsons and Nickelodeon portals. JJ98 (Talk / Contributions) 09:14, 30 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment: At a quick glance, the "Featured content" section has content in it which isn't featured, and that section is way too long being taller than all the other sections in the portal combined. I suggest instead adding the featured articles and the good articles to the rotations for the appropriate sections (articles, biographies, etc.) so they appear in part on the portal page, then perhaps have a link to the full list of featured and good content. I may have more comments later. ···日本穣? · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 17:13, 16 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment: 80 articles seems...excessive. ResMar 13:55, 31 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Not really, especially if they are randomly shown whenever the page is loaded. It keeps the visible content appearing fresh and provides more diversity in what it links to. ···日本穣? · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 20:15, 31 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Support: It's not a bad thing, but, you know, when 20 is considered the benchmark, 80 is just a ton of extra work. You did a good job getting around most films being copyrighted; I remember that being very problematic when I tried to improve the Disney portal way back when.

- Support. Excellent portal (as far as my good taste in portals go) ;P -- Ϫ 07:44, 25 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
