Animelon - Good/Bad

This is a great website that has taken an already popular topic such as anime and turned it into a study resource for those who are learning Japanese. Animelon.com is a good website that allows users to watch anime with English, Hiragana, Katakana, and Japanese subtitles. This is great reading practice for people who are studying the language, and what made this website stand far above other competitors was the fact that you could click on subtitles and the meaning of the word you clicked on would appear. This is absolutely astounding! 

Upon discovering this website, I almost cried tears of joy! Nevertheless, as I began using this website more often I began to notice issues with the website. Due to the number of subtitle options made available and the transcripts that are loaded alongside every episode, it would take eons for a video to load. I am exaggerating, however the videos on this website do not load as quickly as a youtube video. Furthermore, this website has a clunky main page filled with pictures of different anime that you could watch. I believe a different or more subtle presentation could have been used, because the current style makes it take a long time for the main page to load. 

Finally, while this website is amazing it presents inaccurate information at times. For example, the subtitle or meaning of the subtitle may be completely wrong. Nonetheless, this is the only website I have seen provide anime episodes with hiragana and katakana subtitles, along with clickable subtitles. So, if you want to check out this website feel free to do so! It's a little slow though.
