I'll probably give it a shot. If I like it, I will probably use it alongside MAL. Also, what's up with the invite system? Is it in beta or something?

Hentai needs to be designed, drawn and animated.. it includes background music and voice acting.
Anyone who doesn't consider that as art is lacking in the brain department.

Also a suggestion.. put some more effort in your replies if you want people to take you seriously.

Art is not about the making though, films in general are all art.

So is pornography.

I guess it may be art to you, but if you think that's why they're making it, I have to say you're seriously mistaken... Just like porn, it's all about the money. Which is why most hentai art and animation quality are laughable at best--- because the people watching it and making it don't generally care about those things.

And even if it were, I think the same case could be made for pornography.

That's something i'm well aware of, it applies to all forms of anime, in fact, not just hentai.
You're watching the wrong titles, there's plenty 2012 hentai that top 2012 anime in terms of animation.

Not sure that's the case.. at least not as much as with anime/hentai.

Regardless, i think this is enough derailing for one thread.

If I wanted to be treated seriously, ofc I wouldn't make a one word post. That was merely a reaction, to an incredibly funny statement, regardless of legitimacy. I honestly don't understand the aggression. Chill.

And you can make the argument that porn is also art, since it requires storyboarding, scripting, colour grading, camera framing, background music, acting, etc. Take movies produced by Digital Playground or videos from X-Art for example. Just because it doesn't have to be drawn doesn't mean its not art.

You can't hide 'certain things', you either hide your whole list or reveal it all. There is no in between.

Yeah, that's completely retarded, why make it open to the public if you have to hide some anime.

I still don't know the names of some hentai I watched, though.

Just signed up. Don't see what it brings to the table that other sites don't already have. The large anime thumbnails, while pretty, are cumbersome to scroll through. The list is minimalistic, which is good in some ways, but it's too simple and bare, making it hard to make changes without going through several clicks. The site seems to be optimized in looking good instead of functionality. Even the forum thread list is triple spaced -- easy on the eyes, hard on scrolling. A random quote in the heading, while interesting, takes up 1/5 of screen real estate without providing any real function. The site looks like they adopted a Twitter (or blogging/sharing site) template. There are a lot of things that I think could be improved with MAL, but unfortunately Hummingbird seems to have missed most of the marks. At the current stage, I prefer Anime-Planet or AniDB to Hummingbird. They could at least have some profiling functions similar to MALgraphs built in, coming this late into the game.

For now, you can get more money when the site is larger and more popular. It would be stupid to sell it during the beta.

Josh likes to brag quite a bit, which I would attribute to his extreme confidence. Not necessarily a bad thing. In fact, I like Josh a lot. I consider him one of my only friends (albeit also rivals). I really find it hard to believe he's been offered money and some other things he's told me privately though when the website is so rudimentary and unpolished. I mean, I'm not calling it a crappy website or anything nor am I calling him a liar, but it's obviously unfinished and really has barely any features, compared to what it could/will have. I also noticed that his profile, iOS app, and review pages were extremely "inspired."

They're adding half stars soon, so it'll basically be 1-10 again.

Hummingbird gives you the option to change the titles of each anime/manga to your liking. Be it Japanese, English, or Canon title. Not saying the site's way better for it, but that's just one thing Hummingbird's got that MAL doesn't. You can choose to not have that stupid weaboo shit when you check out shows, if you want. I really like that.

Other than that, site's got a nice design. A little slow when you click on stuff though, so they need to work on that efficiency. Will this make me migrate over to that site? Probably not at this time, if at all, but I haven't had major problems since going into the beta site.

Though you don't have the ability to change each individual anime which is what people really wanted. And even they're having problems with it, it's not uniform throughout the site.

Aw, sounds kind of disappointing. Still personally, having the option to choose what official title to view is already a plus for me. I'm sure they'll work in that; the site's still in beta, after all. But that's probably just wishful thinking on my part.

The export is painless, one of the features I will give them props for. It takes less than 30 seconds, compared to Anime-Planet, which took about 1-1.5 minutes IIRC. Then they ask you a series of questions that could've been combined into 1 page, but this is still probably the easiest setup.

They're ok. Joke around a little bit, they really got cigarette good. You don't have to, there are many threads on MAL. That lucjan guy made a thread about "What can this site do that MAL can't", the chat thread there was made and is basically inhabited by people from MAL. A lot of people have accounts on both.
