A few things we have planned to upgrade to this list:

1 - Prettify (We'll bring in a graphic designer to make it look more pretty)
2 - Add "submit" links for readers to add missing info, including the ability to replace "from the manga" plot descriptions.
3 - add nav pull down for season list (ie: so you don't have to click "back" a billion times to get to January 2012)
4 - Add sort option (alphabetical / date)
5 - Include "My Anime:" links (add to want to see, etc.)

Let us know what other changes you'd like to see.

I would vote for a more information-dense page or view. Here I can see only 2 boxes at a time vs. almost 6 on livechart

It would be nice if A, An, The, and Symbols weren't used in alphabetical filing, if possible. I'd automatically look for, say, The Darwin Incident under D, not T. And 'Tis Time for Torture under T, not '. (But I'm old, so maybe most people don't think that way anymore.)

I learned that method first also, but I'm agnostic about it now. Anyway, the streaming services themselves don't agree on this. Crunchyroll does it the newer way and HiDive does it the older way.

How about filtering by streaming service? This would be helpful at the start of each season.

Sweet, the Encyc. entries I've been updating/maintaining for certain shows are actually displaying their genre tags in this new page! I'm also big on themes, but some of these shows can have quite a few. I don't know if displaying them would possibly make each entry look closer to being a big wall of text. But maybe it could quell some viewer curiosity?

I would say just countdown with full days and maybe hours (5 days or 5 days 19 hours instead of 5.8 days) then switch to hours and minutes under 1 day.

I don’t see the point of counting away from a series finale and some of the longer running series have a countdown from their last episode in that season despite not being seasonal at all. E.g. detective Conan episode 1108 aired 2.0 years ago if you go to fall 2023 even though it’s currently on 1244.

Also says one piece 1156 is airing in 5.9 days when it’s airing in April.

The only note I have is that Hell Teacher Nube should be listed as “TV 2”; as it is now, one would assume it’s the first season.

I'd find internal scroll bars for synopses to be helpful, since the way I have my screen/text zoomed means longer ones can't be read in their entirety without adjustments.

Mostly looking good so far. Nice idea.

You mean desktop/laptop or mobile?

I'm a bit confused because I can see 9 on 1080p, but only 1 on mobile.

We'll definitely do that. Thanks for pointing it out.

That's a great idea. Right now there's a small limitation with the streaming service data that I want to get fixed; once it's fixed, I'll have the filtering added to the to-do list.

I'll look into whether this is possible.

Oh, this is nice! Thank you for this effort: it's great to have everything sorted by season like this. I can't vouch for how it looks on mobile, since I pretty exclusively view ANN from a PC, but I am impressed so far.

I'm sure it will be fleshed out, but I like what I'm seeing so far. I end up hearing so many anime even exist from the Preview Guide, so this seems like a nice way to get the details at a glance. I've also lost track of shows that sounded interesting but I forgot the titles, so having having a quick way to to narrow it down will be nice.
