A2zAnime is an anime hosting website that was created around September 2019. The website has undergone many changes since its inception, including the addition of a search bar and favoriting specific anime.
The website maintains host-specific links instead of providing the streams. Links are collected by staff members and website users, who make suggestions on what titles to add to the website's library. Additionally, A2zAnime has a Discord community where users can suggest titles for the website's library as well as ask questions about the site.
Website Design
The website's design is very straightforward. There are not many sections and most of the content runs together. It is not attractive, but I believe there are better ways the website could break up their titles to be more aesthetically pleasing.
The logo for A2zAnime is very interesting. The A2z letters are in red. There is a anime character portrait framed in between text with Anime in white on the opposite side. The logo is eye-catching and memorable. It matches the theme of the website perfectly.
The website uses the popular night mode color scheme. A lot of anime streaming sites use this style. It gives a modern and sleek look. There are also no advertisements on this website. The only ads I managed to find were Donate buttons to keep the website up and running. I'm not sure I would classify it as an advertisement, but even those buttons were minimal.
Content
The majority of content available on A2zAnime is anime. There are over 3000 clickable titles in their database, and many are labelled as "Coming Soon" but most are full series. A large portion of anime is also available in multiple languages, including Chinese, English, and Japanese.
There is a Schedule feature on the primary menu. It functions similarly to a television guide. There are three categories: Today, Tomorrow, and the following days of the week. In each section are anime titles that release new episodes on those days.
Overall, I am impressed with the server and I would recommend it to others.
There is a Discord server that belongs to A2zAnime. I joined the server to check out what they had to offer. My initial impression is that the server is well-maintained and has a variety of channels and fun additional content like art, role-playing forums, voice chat, and more. On the more professional side of things, there are channels for feedback and recommendations for animes to watch. Overall, I am impressed with the server and I would recommend it to others!
Desktop & Mobile Accessibility
The audio quality is not great, but it works. The only real problem is that the videos are not very long.
The desktop browser is a good way of accessing the website. The layout is decent. There are a few confusing sections. It took quite a while to find the sidebar menu. After finding it, some of the buttons attached to it didn't work either. As for watching the videos, the desktop is okay. The audio quality is not great, but it works. The only real problem is that the videos are not very long.
There is no app available to view anime on mobile, so I tried out the mobile browsing version of A2zAnime. Mobile browsing is actually better than the desktop. At first glance, it looks like it has more features. After looking a little bit more, I believe it is just laid out better. The navigation of it is a little smoother than the desktop. I would suggest mobile viewing over desktop viewing when available.
Positives
There are many positive aspects to A2zAnime. It is refreshing for a website so young to get many features right out of the gate. The website has only been active since September 2019, but it has quickly grown.
A good starting point for positives is the extensive library hosted by A2zAnime. It is difficult to distinguish exactly how many titles are available, but there are more than 3000 titles that are clickable. Some of them have coming soon in their description but that is very few. The majority of the shows are subtitled, but I have been impressed by the dubs and multiple languages available.
One of the great benefits of A2zAnime's Discord server is the sense of community it fosters. The creator of the website started the server to bring anime fans together to chat about shows, movies, cosplay, art, and many other topics. There are many channels to participate in, including channels for discussing feedback for the website, resolving technical issues, and sharing title recommendations.
The website has a somewhat lacking About Us section, but it makes up for it with the Frequently Asked Questions portion of the site. The site answers how to best contact them, as well as when popular titles will be uploaded.
Negatives
Despite its great features, A2zAnime does have some flaws that will likely be fixed in the future. Overall, I am impressed by what the creator has done in such a short amount of time.
A frustrating issue I experienced with the website was that the load times were almost unbearably slow. I am unsure of the reasoning behind the slow load times, but hopefully, they are resolved soon.
The website's organization was very lackluster. The Anime section is underwhelming to look at. The titles are all listed alphabetically on over 30 pages. There are options to filter the titles in a hovering menu bar. It functions well, but breaking categories down further into an aesthetically pleasing layout would be nice.
Another issue with the desktop website is that the sidebar menu is not easily visible. The website's design uses dark colors, and the sidebar menu does not stand out enough to catch attention. Another problem is that some of the website's features, such as Community, Staff, and Contact, are listed near Coming Soon features. I realized that these features might not work yet, and it would be better to leave them off entirely if they don't function properly.
Improvements Needed
Some improvements that could be made to A2zAnime are many issues that will likely be resolved in time. The website is still young, so it is in a transitional state of growing pains, but I believe it will continue to improve.
A better layout on this website would be one that is more interesting and visually appealing. It would be exciting to look at, with more variation in the color palette and style. It would also be helpful if the content was more interactive, allowing the viewer to participate in the discussion or learn more about the topic.
Another suggestion I have for the site is to further develop the community. It is clear that there is a large community behind this website. The Discord is very well managed and maintained. The chats are very active and interesting. It would be nice to see that sense of community infused into the website as well.
