DESCRIPTION

The homepage was mostly bare with a green background. Above the fold was a search box, and some data regarding how many posts the site hosts. There was a picture of women holding up signs, each with the same number corresponding to the total number of posts being served. I typed a keyword into the search box and it returned many anime images. Most images were standard/classical anime while occasionally AI images were attempting to be real people. There was an extensive menu in the left column of the twp column layout. The menu featured tag suggestions that I could browse after checking my current images. I was impressed with the total number of images and how easily it brought up related images to the query. Note that my search was not anime related, so it appears to be mostly an anime porn search engine.
