ANIME VERSE
CASE STUDY
Introduction
Anime Verse, a dedicated website for streaming anime and anime movies. Anime has become a significant cultural phenomenon, captivating audiences worldwide with its unique storytelling and vibrant visuals. However, despite the growing popularity of anime, there remains a need for a comprehensive streaming platform that caters specifically to the preferences of anime enthusiasts. "ANIME VERSE" aims to fill this gap by providing a user-friendly and immersive platform where fans can discover, watch, and engage with their favorite anime content. This project is driven by a passion for anime and a commitment to delivering an exceptional streaming experience to users across the globe.
Research and Discovery
To understand the needs and preferences of our target audience, I employed a multifaceted research approach. This included conducting user interviews, analyzing competitor platforms, and gathering insights from online forums and communities dedicated to anime fandom. Key findings revealed a strong demand for a centralized platform offering a wide range of anime titles, personalized recommendations, and a vibrant community space for discussion and interaction. Users expressed frustration with cluttered interfaces, limited streaming options, and a lack of community engagement features on existing platforms. Additionally, they emphasized the importance of seamless navigation, responsive design, and visually appealing aesthetics in enhancing the overall viewing experience.
Problem Statement
Existing streaming platforms for anime and anime movies lack a comprehensive and user-friendly interface, leading to frustration and dissatisfaction among users. These platforms often offer limited content libraries, outdated interfaces, and ineffective recommendation systems, making it difficult for viewers to discover and access their favorite titles conveniently. Additionally, the scattered nature of available anime content across different platforms exacerbates the challenge of finding desired content. Therefore, there is a clear need for a centralized and intuitive platform like "ANIME VERSE" to address these issues and provide anime enthusiasts with a seamless streaming experience.

Typography choices prioritized readability and modernity, ensuring optimal legibility across devices. UI elements were strategically placed for easy navigation, with prominent search and recommendation features to enhance content discoverability.

Prototypes were developed to test the site's functionality and gather user feedback. Usability tests were conducted with a diverse group of participants, including both avid anime fans and casual viewers.
