The site was created by myself, our developer kenaniah, and CSS/design guru kace. We all spent a brutal amount of time over the last month slaving away at this daily. For more information about why we had to put up a rushed/incomplete release, see here.

Important notes about this release:

THERE ARE NO NEW FEATURES. THERE ARE NO NEW FEATURES. THERE ARE NO NEW FEATURES.

You can update/add/delete anime by going to an anime entry, browsing through the alphabetical lists, or browsing through browse by year/tag/studio.

2. Browse for recs/anime info

3. Review search isn't working right

4. There are weird issues with the username in the logged in panel, often disappears (same with certain blocks of text)

5. Colors are totally in flux - hold the vomiting till we have finalized them!

6. Lots of spacing/CSS strangeness - please don't file bugs on this stuff

7. Various empty areas where we haven't done the content yet

2. This looks like crap! Fix [x]
3. Where did [x] feature go? (read the freaking text above!)
4. Here's my hardcore critique of the design (we haven't finalized a lot yet)
5. I liked the old version better! (this was a rushed release and trust me, we'd prefer to have a few more months to pretty everything up)
