Bilibili

Bilibili (哔哩哔哩),1) or 'B Site' (B站, B Zhàn), is a Chinese video-sharing website that was founded as Mikufans on June 26, 2009, but was later renamed on January 24, 2010. It used to have a competitive rivalry, being a 'stable' alternative to AcFun,2) until it eventually won out.

User leveling system

In order to unlock the leveling system, you need to pass the 100-question multiple-choice test on etiquette and miscellaneous trivia,3) or bypass the test with an invite code.4) From there, you'll simply gain experience points by using the website as intended. New accounts can easily get to 200 points by doing the basic account security checks. Otherwise, it's a daily grind from logging in, watching, sharing, awarding, etc.

Website slogan

Historically, Mikufans used a parody of AcFun's slogan, replacing the 'manga friends' (漫友, mànyǒu) with 'gay friends' (基友, jīyǒu)5) or 'bakas' (バカ). After the rebrand to Bilibili, the website originally used the slogan of “everyone's a good person” (大家都是好人, dàjiā dōushì hǎorén), but they quickly changed the slogan and had since settled on “bilibili （゜- ゜）つロ gānbēi!” (哔哩哔哩（゜- ゜）つロ 干杯~).

Notes

  • The community-chosen6) website mascots are '22-niáng' (22娘), the energetic long-haired older sister, and '33-niáng' (33娘), the reclusive younger sister with a side ponytail.
    • At one point, the mobile app had momentarily replaced the mascots with a “the videos you seek are at B site” (你感兴趣的视频都在B站) slogan, which caused a minor uproar until it was reverted.
  • You can find a list of anime that Bilibili has legally acquired. You might also notice that some entries are restricted to Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan, or may be exclusive to Taiwan.
    • By the way, please don't be one of those annoying 'China watchers' who sensationalizes 'anime censorship' and, as a result, force people to check with a VPN to see if the claims are actually true or if it's just a shitty excuse of a joke by some libertarian warmonger. Go to hell, already.
    • Since then, Bilibili has been involved with Japanese anime production (e.g. Space Patrol Luluco, Himouto! Umaru-chan R, etc.) and have since produced Chinese dònghuà.
  • From 2016 to 2019, the Shanghai Sharks were sponsored by Bilibili, becoming the “Shanghai Bilibili Basketball Team” (上海哔哩哔哩篮球队, Shànghǎi Bìlībìlī Lánqiú Duì).7)8)

The third part of the test will allow you to select from 1–3 subjects or choose 'random', and give you the option to 'personalize' the test by providing your birth date. By this point, you've probably passed the minimum threshold of 60 points, so this part is mostly for 'fun' and you can easily Google most of the answers.

A user with a level 5+ account can purchase an invite code for you, but where's the fun in doing that?
