As many of you may have noticed, we are about six months past our expected redesign date. The redesign was all but ready to go until a very unexpected thing happened…We have been acquired by Mania.comcom[/link].
As many of you may have also noticed, Mania is making a huge presence for itself in the Anime/Manga world with the recent acquisition and integration of AnimeOnDVD.com. Just last week, they also integrated Comics2Film.com another huge site in itself with breaking exclusives and an anime-flavor of it’s own such as exclusive shots of the Dragonball Z set in Mexico. Those combined with Mania’s existing presence in the Genre/Entertainment World are going to breathe new life into all three sites: AnimeDates.comates.com[/link], AnimeConPics.comonPics.com[/link] and CosplayWar.comyWar.com[/link].
With well over a million unique users a month already and thousands more visiting the site everyday, it’s going to be easy for everyone on this site to find that special someone to spend that holiday season or next convention with. AnimeDates is going to become the core of a new Dating Engine on Mania that will instantly allow you access to thousands and thousands of people that have the same interests as you.
With the inclusion of AnimeOnDVD, Mania is also going to have a new focus on Conventions and even Cosplay. Your photos and profiles will all be migrated over and you’ll be able to login without any interruption to your usage of any of the sites.
Agie and I will be moving over to Mania as well. I’ve been running things since January on both a technical side and management side, and will continue to do so in the future. Agie has been writing reviews for Mania and will continue to do so under the direction of the infamous Chris Beveridge of AnimeOnDVD fame. We will both also be continuing to participate in one of our favorite parts of the Anime World – going to Conventions, snapping pictures of Cosplayers and hanging out with all of you.
So, for the time being, continue your normal site usage. We will be working to migrate all the accounts over as soon as possible. More information will be available when the time comes.
We thank you all for your continued support over the past three and a half years and we look forward to seeing you all over on the Mania.com end after the transition.
Until then, feel free to continue using the site like normal!
Arigatou-gozaimasu!
-Agie and Adam
