The Asylum
So I ended up switching the site over to a lighter color scheme while keeping almost everything else the same.
With all the work I put into the last patch update, especially setting up the variables and handling most of it inside WordPress itself, changing the colors was actually a lot easier than it would have been before. I did not have to go back and rework every page from scratch just to make things fit.
Now granted, there were still a few things that needed fixing. Some of the headers did not work well with black text over a black overlay, but that was an easy fix.
I also reformatted a few things across the site. One of the bigger changes is that the Watch page is no longer just for reactions. I merged toy videos, unboxings, music videos, and reactions into the same section. So now, for example, choosing the Super Sentai tab will show all Super Sentai-related videos, including reactions, time-based reactions, edited reactions, extended cuts, unboxings, and toy reviews.
I also went through and simplified the menu and the overall navigation. I was never fully happy with the side menu. I remember finding a very minimalist website back around 2012, and that style always stuck with me. So I tried to move the site a little more in that direction while still keeping a lot of the same Majin Planet elements.
The homepage got a full rework, and honestly, I think it works a lot better now. The footer was also cleaned up because I felt like it had become too much. No pages were removed, though. Everything is still there, just organized a bit better.
If you found your way here from the Start Here page, that has also been shifted more into a proper landing page instead of feeling like just another regular part of the site.
You can still get to the old Music Video section, and I will be adding a Music Video tab to the Watch page soon as well.
Overall, the site loads faster, feels cleaner, and I think it works better on mobile now.
As always, feedback is welcome. Whether you leave a comment here, send an email, or use the contact form, I do take that feedback into account when working on the site and future content.
