- tm2t 4y agoJust thought it was interesting—from a design and content perspective—as the site hasn't changed much since 1999 and it still feels like “ye ol' web”.
- aikinai 4y agoI appreciated the intent right away. Thanks for sharing.
- Brian_K_White 4y agoYes, a fine specimen.
- kerkeslager 4y agoBut how will we ever monetize this!? /s
- kleiba 4y agoAh, okay thanks for clarifying! I thought perhaps there's some special significance to this site that I wasn't aware of.

The site is an excellent example of a small web 1.0 site run by a single person. This is a (possibly a painful) reminder for some that the web doesn't have to be SEO optimized corporate BS, and of a time when the internet was full of wonder and the possibilities seemed endless.
- pmarin 4y agoFan made websites were very popular in the nineties. This one is really well made and recently updated which is really cool. This particular anime has also a cult follwing in the west.

- ThrowawayR2 4y agoYou're on Hacker News and hacker culture has had a significant overlap with anime fandom since at least the 1980s.
