A2zAnime is a website that hosts anime. It was created around September 2019, and it has been growing steadily since then. The website has a "About Us" section that includes information about their growth, such as adding new features and improving the site's performance. Some of the recent additions to the A2zAnime website include a search bar and the ability to favorite specific anime episodes.
The website claims to hoststreams that are specifically tailored to the user's region. Links are collected by staff members and website users. There is a Discord community that makes suggestions on what titles should be added. Additionally, A2zAnime has a Frequently Asked Questions section that is quite helpful.
Website Design
The website's design is pretty straightforward. There are not many sections and most of the content runs together. It's not ugly, but I believe there are better ways the website could break up their titles to be more aesthetically pleasing.
The eye-catching A2zAnime logo is framed in between text with Anime in white on the opposite side. The logo is memorable and matches the website's theme perfectly.
The website uses a popular night mode color scheme. A lot of anime streaming sites lean towards this style. It gives a modern and sleek look with no advertisements. I only managed to find minimal advertising on this website - all the ads were in the donate buttons. I'm not sure I would classify it as an advertisement, but even those buttons were minimal.
Content
There are a lot of anime shows available on A2zAnime. I counted over 3000 titles and found that most of them were clickable. Some of the links had labels saying they were coming soon, but most were full series. There is a lot of anime available in multiple languages too. Chinese, English, and Japanese are all languages that can be watched.
There is a Schedule feature on the primary menu. It functions similarly to a television guide, with categories for Today, Tomorrow, and then the following days of the week. In the sections are anime titles listed that release new episodes on those days.
Overall, I'm impressed with the Discord community and am looking forward to joining in on the conversations.
Desktop & Mobile Accessibility
The quality is good, but the viewing experience can be improved.
Some people prefer the desktop browser because it has a more traditional layout. The website looks decent overall and there are a few sections that are confusing, but it takes some time to find the sidebar menu. When watching videos, the desktop browser is okay but could use improvement in terms of quality and viewing experience.
There isn't an app available, so I tried out the mobile browsing version of A2zAnime. It looks like it has more features and the navigation is smoother than the desktop. I would suggest using mobile viewing when it's available.
Positives
There are a lot of good things about A2zAnime. It's refreshing to see a website that is so young get so many features right away. The site has only been active since September 2019, but it's grown quickly.
I've found that the library hosted by A2zAnime is a great place to start for finding positive things. There are more than 3000 titles available, and many of them are subtitled. I have been impressed by the dubs and the availability of multiple languages.
A2zAnime's Discord server is a great place to connect with other anime fans. The creator of the website started the server to create a community where people could chat about shows, movies, cosplay, art, and many other topics. There are many channels available to participate in, including feedback for the website, technical issues, and title recommendations.
The website has a somewhat lack luster About Us section, but they make up for it with the Frequently Asked Questions portion of the site. The site answers frequently asked questions about how to best contact them and when new titles will be uploaded.
Negatives
Although A2zAnime is a great site for streaming anime, it has some flaws. Most of them will likely be fixed in time. Overall, I am impressed by what the creator has achieved in such a short amount of time.
I had a lot of trouble with the website's load times. They were almost unacceptably slow. I don't know the reasoning behind the slow load times, but I hope they get resolved soon.
The website's organization was sloppy. The Anime section is unimpressive to look at. Titles are alphabetically listed on over 30 pages. There are options to filter the titles in a hovering menu bar. It works well, but breaking categories down more into an appealing layout would be nice.
Another issue with the desktop site is that the sidebar menu is difficult to find. The website's theme uses dark colors, and the sidebar menu isn't highlighted enough to draw attention. Another problem with it is that there are features listed like Community, Staff, and Contact. I realized that these were some of the Coming Soon features, but it would be better to leave them off entirely if they don't function or send the user to an error page.
Improvements Needed
There are a few improvements that A2zAnime could benefit from. A lot of issues will likely be resolved in due time. Since the website is still young, I believe it is in a transitional state of growing pains, but will continue to improve.
I think that a better layout for this website would be more interesting and engaging. It could be designed in a way that tricks the viewer's eye and pulls them in different directions. It could be exciting and visually appealing.
Another suggestion I have for the site is to expand the community. The Discord is a great way to connect with the community behind this website, and the chats are very active and interesting. It would be nice to see that sense of community infused into the website as well.
Summary
Anime streaming websites are becoming more popular. Although A2zAnime has only been operational since September 2019, it is a great option for streaming. The website operates by hosting links from outside sources.
Another great thing about the website is its strong community. The A2zAnime Discord is well maintained and very active. There are many channels on the server to provide tech support and website suggestions. Some other channels available are role playing, memes, music, spoilers, and voice chats.
A2zAnime has a few minor drawbacks compared to other streaming services, but the pros definitely outweigh them. I'm excited to see how this website continues to develop and grow over time. Right now, users can participate in the online community to give feedback.
