What you're saying sounds great! I imagine a "landing page" for Animanga-content (or other projects - cosplay! Fandoms in other languages! Fanart/fancraft!) that includes the goal of the project, a list to relevant categories, a project-focused wish list, a link to the help pages, a prominent link to the discussion page/discussions on other pages, a list of editors interested in the projects who are willing to help, and maybe other stuff? Much less complicated than the WikiProjects on Wikipedia look like (though I have no experience with them.) A forum is coming next term, so we could use that as a second platform for people who are more comfortable there.
It's a wonderful idea, and I'd definitely support it. Now the bad news: At the moment the Wiki committee does not have the resources to help build anything like this. Not with structure, general content, not with design, and definitely not things like permanently staffing an open chatroom. (A partial explanation why will be posted soon.) If nothing goes wrong, my hope is that Wiki will be able to do so in maybe half a year.
But! That doesn't mean it can't be done! I'm excited that you're brainstorming for this, the more concrete ideas there are for what people want and how to do it the easier it'll be for Wiki to help. And if editors want to start building it themselves even better :)
