@Halex showing a full franchise list AND how they all relate to each other (independent of how they link only to a specific title) is incredibly difficult and infeasible for the staffing that we have. It might potentially work for those rare cases like One Piece or Detective Conan where there truly is a "first" and everything else is explicitly related to that first title, but for "franchises" with multiple universes or unrelated groupings of series/specials/OVAs, it doesn't work. For years we received strong, consistent complaints (and understandable ones) about the relations sections being unmanageble - especially for things like Gundam - which is why the new relations breakdown is only "direct" franchise content, with ways to access related ones easily with one click.
This is veering a little too much into "why the current entry is how it is" rather than a full franchise feature discussion, but calling attention to this because if/when we do offer a "view everything in the franchise" page, it's almost certainly not going to be feasible to show the relation type. But for the seemingly most common scenario people have which is "i just want to see where I'm at in the series chronologically with all related titles", it would solve that.
@sothis Thanks for your reply, so for what I understand, you are trying to separate the different universes in a franchise in order to make it more manageable and relevant. That indeed makes sense as Gundam 00 is completely different than the original and unicorn universes for example, so it will make it easier to navigate on the universe you are actually watching.
However, regardless of the organization and categorization in the Related Anime area, what is important to me is to be able to see the status, update the status, add the rating, and see the relationships within the related items. If you were going to add that functionality back as in "@AllaliAdel" post that will be good enough for me (although ideally the title should not be truncated but at least it will show in full in the popup)
Something like this would be nice to have:
and when you hover over it just like in browse anime section:
I see your team is very small and they are all volunteers, is impressive you manage a site this large with just 4-5 people. I'm also a web designer/developer in case you need help, I'm usually quite busy but I do spend a lot of my free time in this site anyway, so I don't mind giving back when possible, I just wouldn't be able to commit to a fixed schedule. I mostly work on WordPress sites and I'm a full-stack developer knowledgable of HTML/CSS/JS/PHP, SEO, MySQL, Apache, WHM/cPanel, User Experience, Interactivity & Accessibility. Let me know if I can be of help.
