About Us:

HV Anime was founded by Naota with the help of his friends Drakenfyre75 and Lord Moroii. The original purpose of the site was to bring anime fans from the Hudson Valley Region of New York State together as a community offering News Articles, Reviews and a forum.

The first few revisions of the site started off badly resulting in 5 different content management systems and 3 different forum systems. HV Anime was starting to work well until a year or so after it was founded when the particpation in the forums went down to zero and the site went into a inactive state.

After seeing his vision resulting in a failure Naota started to think of new ways to revive his vision. He bought the domain http://hvanime.com to help users remember the site rather than typing a bulking name such as http://hudsonvalleyanime.com. His research had shown that most sites fail due to lack of participation and content.

Naota saw that the forums had many problems noted within the support page. Many members were having problems registering and signing up. This prompted Naota to investigate different forum software titles for the forum and different designs for the main page. After coming to a conclusion of which software to run and which design to use be began to plan the new community.

Countless hours were spent in the design, layout and forum structure. The choice in staring the website and forum from scratch was tough because of all the data that is contain in the old system. This decision will benefit in the long run so that there won't be any problems in the foreseeable furture.

At this point in time HV ANime is for anyone who like anime to join. We have a Facebook Group, Forums, Twitter and a website. We are looking for new ways to make the community evolve. And that is Naota's main objective.
