Welcome to the new face of Fansub.TV for 2020 and our fast approaching 16th birthday!
Firstly, an apology from me.
It has taken far too long to get to this upgrade, it was originally planned back in 2017 and sadly never happened. Fansub got neglected, and suffered for it, this upgrade was long over do, and I'm sorry. I do hope this new update goes some way to make up for that.
So What's New?
Well lets start with that, "What's new" on the top menu bar is a new place to see everything that is new, posts, images, etc all in one place.
The Gallery
The gallery has always supported videos, but now it features automatic thumbnails to give a nice image for your video, automatic video transcoding to convert the video into an easy to stream format and a much better interface on the player.
The Gallery now fully integrates into the forum, now you can drop images, videos, or entire galleries into a post or a reply, you no longer need to search for some image host that is slow or deletes things randomly. It also supports embedding videos from Youtube and other video sites into the gallery and forum posts, and even messages.
The Wiki
We now have a wiki for our Anime, Drama, Manga, Games etc information. The plan is to replace all our existing anime info databases with the new wiki. Initially it will be for new anime and over time we will add in the older series. Currently, creating pages and editing is limited to Sempais and above, but we hope to extend this to all members once we have finished testing and sorting out the layout.
Profile Conversations
A much better conversation system right on you member profile, leave messages, notes, images, even videos on friends profiles.
New styles and colours - Light and Dark
You can choose the style you want, at any time. Just press the paint brush on the bottom left of any page and choose the one you want.
Currently we have 2 themes and may add more later.
Fansub 2020 - (Light Theme)
I hope everyone likes the new theme, it is designed to be modern but reflect the past styles in a new and colourful way.
MATV - (Dark Theme)
Our original Maikuando.TV theme featuring K-On has been re-built to work on the new site.
Change of Direction
Previously the site was heavily focused on automation, and after we lost the Pulse updates things only got worse and we basically ended up being a glorified advert for Crunchyroll. That is no more, the front page is now back showing the Necromendations, giving you a real human opinion on what is worth watching, and taking you to the place to discuss it. From now on I want to bring back the focus of the site to the community, not just the forum, but the gallery, the blogs and not just anime, we are open to many things now. We have an entire forum dedicated to "The voice of change", it awaits any suggestions you may have, from gallery categories to game servers.
Some Departures
With this update, we say good bye to some features:
'Misc files & Game Patches'
This served as nothing more than a confusing second place to put things that really should be in the gallery, most of it was images or videos and some game files for a now closed MMO. This section has closed and is no more. The video and images contained within will be re-uploaded into the gallery later.
'Mini Blogs'
These were a feature of the previous software which although fun, no one actually used.
'Anime Streaming'
This was the anime episode updates on the frontpage, this has been replaced with the Necromendations. Although a nice colourful feature, it only served to take visitors away to Crunchyroll, and was also a cause for continued DMCA notices. There maybe a future use for some of it in a smaller scale, closed for now.
Known Problems
With any large upgrade, there are always some things which don't quite go to plan.
Gallery
The Gallery has lost 35 items, mostly images but 1 or 2 videos as well. These are still on the old Gallery and will be moved over and re-uploaded over the next week or so. I will try to put them under the correct owner if I can, and the original comments maybe lost.
Update 25 July 2020: All items have been restored, some of the items are "owned" by me still for the moment, will try to fix this.
Maikuando.TV
Visitors via the MATV domain will now get the default Fansub.TV style, there is a thread on that here.
Please leave any feedback you may have below.
