user27: In the first brainstorming session, we've discussed the site's member recruitment model
We have decided to take the following steps:

Make a list of 5-10 series which would interest an audience of experts in anime/manga. Logan M and Mystical are on it.
Seed the sites with good, high quality questions on those shows. Leave some of them unanswered to attract experts with an answer.
Post links to most voted and strongest questions on Reddit, IRC and possibly on 4chan/a/.

We will continue to track the progress of the recruitment state, and will present it in later sessions.

user247: I would recommend keeping an eye on questions on SFF.se, movies.se, and possible japanese.se an ensure that those who ask anime/manga questions are made aware of the existence of this site.

user27: First and foremost:
anyone with a blog or a forum system should definitely spare a line or two and spread the site. That is the best way, because it gives good SEO links, and has a very accurate audience reception.
Also

Find friends of yours who are interested and invite them over (I've gotten 3 users that way already).
When answering questions in anime/manga forums, post links to similar answers you've wrote/read on this site. You get badges for it too!
Post to Facebook/Google+. Maybe friends, or friends of friends are interested and will follow your link!
Check in your favorite chat rooms (on SE or IRC, whatever), and tell them all about it! 


user62: Creating community ads for the other sites would be an excellent way of promoting our site within the Stack Exchange Network. We probably won't want to advertise on all of the sites, but creating an ad on SFF seems like a good idea, and I believe Arqade would be another good site to target with an ad. 

user15: Spam Spread our site is certainly the best way. There are many ways (I'll be making a detailed post for everybody to benefit from):

Share questions in your FB, Twitter, G+, etc accounts. In order to do this, click the share button below each question.

Now you can click the buttons and a pop-up will help you share the link. Or you can just copy the link and paste it wherever you need it.
When participating in other forums you can, when possible, mention the site.
Share a link to the site in your own SE profile bio.

Can't think of more things to do, but this should a good start.
