    Hi, I'm hoping you guys can review my site. It's a wordpress blog centered around streaming anime,
    It is co-owned by myself and a friend.

    Constructive criticism would be nice, and maybe some ideas about what you would implement to make viewing video a more attractive and easy proposition.

    Thanks.

    Great site with good content.
    The logo, header menu ,color selection and the font selection is excellent.
    Altogether brilliant work with the designing of the site.

    - Really slow to load (30 seconds or more).
    - Show video thumbnails instead of just "play video"

    Found this at the bottom of your site:

    Fatal error: Call to undefined function ab_logMsg() in E:\domains\a\animunch.com\user\htdocs\wp-content\plugins\autoblogged\autoblogged.php on line 285

    Looks cool but add thumbnails instead of "play video" that will make visitors easy in selecting their prefered video.

    simple design without the usual 50 million videos playing at the same time, which you usually find on an anime stream site. I have a friend who started an anime stream site and said got lots of inspiration from the manga site www.onemanga.com - maybe that will be helpful?

    design a bit faded need contrast
    maybe a darker background is better for video

    Sorry to bump such an old thread, but I've made some changes regarding the layout/thumbnails problem and was wondering if people could give it another look over. Thanks for all the input. I will change the color, but I'm not really sure what would suit it better.

    -drywall
    I'm not sure if you mean "simple design" to be a good quality, or not.

    -lakai
    I'm working on allowing videos to be uploaded directly to the server, but it's got a few issues.

    -People with concerns about loading time
    The server is not great. I'm thinking about switching.
    This would probably help with the video upload, too.

    It takes a lot of time to load your site. If you're not going to do anything about it, you'll have higher chances of getting high percentage of bounce rate. Higher percentages of bounce rate means BAD. It means that visitors don't stay long in your site.
