Feature Suggestion: Add a "View" Info Button to Hover Popups (Desktop) & Direct Redirect (Mobile)

Hey everyone!

I’m a regular user here, and I wanted to pitch a feature recommendation for the website's layout that handles navigation a bit better depending on whether you are on a computer or a phone.

Right now, when you look at anime cards or icons anywhere on the site (the main grid, sidebar lists, tinier icons, or the "Recommended" section under the video player), interacting with them takes you straight to video playback. To give users a way to see a series' details first without disrupting the current flow, here is what I suggest:

My Suggestion:

• For Desktop (Hover Experience): Keep the layout exactly as people are used to, but add a new "View" button right next to the existing "Watch" button inside the hover popup card. This way, desktop users can still choose to watch immediately or click "View" to open the info page.

• For Mobile (Click Experience): Since mobile devices can't use hovering, clicking an anime card or icon directly could take you straight to the dedicated overview/about page instead of making the video load right away.

• Homepage Spotlight: Add a matching "View" button right next to the "Watch now" button on the rotating banner at the top of the homepage.

Why it fits the website:

• Best of Both Worlds: Desktop users keep their familiar quick-watch while gaining an optional info button, while mobile users get a much cleaner way to explore an anime's details without accidentally forcing a video to load.

• Consistency: This can be applied uniformly across the entire site wherever title cards and the recommended sections are displayed.

I wanted to share this here to see what the community and the mods think! Let me know your thoughts in the replies, and I'll do my best to respond to everyone. If you agree with this suggestion, bringing it to the attention of the mods would be greatly appreciated!
