Why Is This Site Called Majin Planet?
The name Majin Planet came from the old anime fandom era, when fan sites were personal, chaotic, colorful, and full of attitude.

It was not meant to say the site was actually evil. It was the attitude of an old-school anime fan site with a sharp edge, a little chaos, and a lot of personality.
