Redesign the Anime Listing #301

Open robotman321 opened 8 years ago

robotman321 commented 8 years ago

A former Advanced Member left us this exit poll information, which looking over the list I would agree with.

"Basically when you look at the anime list there should be some information about the anime other than the name, basic info like plot, number of episodes and a thumbnail image of the show"

I'll mock up something and post it here to get some ideas flowing.

What else is there? There's user stats, but that's pretty much it.

@Zigbigidorlu Look at the anime listing on /anime while the simplicity makes it easy to view all of the series we have available, I can understand what the user was looking for. Basically, they wanted a quick view of each series, but instead of clicking on something to get that information they wanted to be able to see it right in front of their face. This design methodology actually makes sense, while it's a pain and will make the page impossibly long (or have a TON of paging), being able to scroll through a list of series with their cover art, and then maybe hover over and the image spins or becomes opaque and then allows the user to see the series description, how many stars it is rated, amount of episodes. Users want everything in front of them, you see this on netflix style listings, they hover over a series image and it populates the description, stars and last watched episode. Something like that.

Could we maybe use the anidb api to get a list of recommended anime for the user depending on the series they've watched? Like what Netflix has.

AniDB has a "similar anime" panel, we could use that data to pick a list of animes the user might like?

The only bottleneck with that is that we can't make a lot of requests to anidb. But it might work fine anyway since we cache the anidb requests for 24hs

@Enic94 we could do something like that, where the first row is recommended anime and then we do the full listing, but i think we have enough data to be able to make our own similar anime listing
