The site looks good, I'm an AniDB.net user at the moment, but I could dig a UI that's a little more pleasing.

I'm a bit confused about your anime titles though, why is Fullmetal Alchemist in english, while Kara no Kyoukai is in romanised Japanese? Do you have a system that allows you to give preference to the title languages like AniDB does?

I also like how AniDB makes fansubs discoverable by showing who has subbed what and has ratings for the translations. Are you planning on integrating information about the fansub community? In my opinion it's a core feature of AniDB.



We have three title settings: English, Romaji and canonical. Canonical shows whichever title is more popularly used. Default setting is canonical.

We do not have plans to integrate information about fansub groups because of the types of relationships we're looking to have with larger presences in the industry. We will be adding links to legal websites like CR, Amazon, Funimation, etc though. Sorry!
