Could you change lower case to capital letters ??? Right now it doesn't look good.

Might be better to not capitalize titles, if you mean accent characters Rygar? Not all languages and libraries know how to do that despite Unicode. (Also a common problem: proper sorting on first character with accent.)

My feedback (on desktop version):
My general impression is that it's a face lift

but lots of panels with all caps in them which makes it too busy for the eyes. (Compare other "flows" e.g. x or FB).

I was looking for the ID for a certain game, but it was hard to find at a glance, and the URL now has the game title in it, which might not be compatible with all title names. Might be difficult to link exact variation of the same entry. I hope hol.abime.net/ID links are forwarded correctly (i.e. not broken).

Under News it would be nice to have a screenshot per blog post. Right now it's at the bottom. It would be nice with like a showcase of "3 latest added games" or a carousel at the top, or maybe it and news could be moved to a dedicated page, such as well...hey

So this with pictures and a /top could be great.

Font sizes vary quite a bit, which could maybe be tweaked. Maybe just the biggest ones should be pegged down 2 steps and done.

'Top' statistics/meaning could be shared? I guessed most page loads at first, which typically means most web searched. But I guess it's magazine reviews and I guess that's actually fine. I'm not sure I would want a visitor/user rating system.

Overall for me I like the change and it was smooth to transition. So no real complaints, everyone did a good job.

There isn't a way to sort the results by column when in list view yet.

+1 feature request to add at least sort by release date in list views please! :-)
