Since we're only a few weeks away from the v1 launch of Anime-Planet (v4!), I thought I'd start showcasing some of the new things coming your way. While v1 of the redesign is mostly focusing on reskinning the look and feel, we're launching a few new features, and some fundamental changes in how certain sections work (for a better user experience)
First up, cross recommendations!
We've talked about this feature for awhile now, and we plan to launch phase one of the feature on launch. Specifically, you'll now be able to recommend anime with manga.
So if you're like me, and want badly to recommend Blue Gender with the King of Thorn manga, or have been dying to recommend so many good manga (without anime adaptations) to fans of certain anime, you'll be in luck with this new feature!
Start thinking about anime/manga cross recs you'd make now, so we can get a big batch up on launch :) Post launch, we plan to put up cross rec options for other types of content as well if there's interest, such as character recommendations (if you liked this character, you might like these anime or manga, because they have a similar type of main... or, you might like this other character, who's really similar), studio recs (if you like ghibli, you'd like [this anime] because it's ghibli-style), etc.
We'll also showcase these recs in our weekly Crunchyroll columns
T-minus not long till the redesign is out the door!
