So as you can see the site is suddenly a lot more awesome!
I did a complete design overhaul and I think everyone will agree that everything looks much, much better. Plus a bunch of things that were broken on the previous site are now fixed.
Not only is the site completely redesigned but I also did a massive overhaul of the emoticons database. I actually have an emoticons database now, it’s a giant spreadsheet and it’s pretty awesome.
I removed a bunch of duplicate emoticons, fixed a bunch of broken ones since a lot of characters don’t display correctly in a lot of situations and I reworked the categories.
I renamed some of the categories and added in eleven new categories: Crying, Running, Thinking, Crazy, Excited, Birds, Rabbits, Random, Characters, Clouds and a category I like to call WTF.
Not only that but some of the emoticons are now in more than one category to make finding them much easier.
For example (ノಠ益ಠ)ノ彡┻━┻ is in the action category since throwing a table is an action but it’s also in the angry category since you’d probably have to be pretty angry to throw a table like that.
We also have an awesome random emoticons generator! A huge thanks to Dominick for setting that up!
Oh yeah, I also added like a thousand emoticons to the site!
If you suggested an emoticon to me it should be up there. I had a massive back log of emoticons to add so thanks everyone who made suggestions for being patient. If I somehow missed your suggestion send it to me again and I’ll get it added.
In case you were wondering there are now 2,177 emoticons on this site. To be fair some of them are on different pages since they fit into more than one category so there’s probably closer to 2,000 unique ones but that’s still a crazy amount.
So in conclusion I hope you enjoy the new and massively improved JapaneseEmoticons.net and a huge shout out to the below people for suggesting a bunch of the new emoticons I added to the site:
