Stop right now MAL, there's already buzzfeed for this shit, at least promote proper articles and reviews and not this clickbait garbage. Even fucking ANN can title these better and make them more interesting, jesus christ. STOP adding this shit and fix your god damn list and search bugs, how damn hard can that be? Totally agreed. They should stop adding useless features and start to fixing other things |
 |
| It looks quite chaotic, but it's good to have a section where you can write more specialized stuff, I guess. |
| Those feature articles is giving me cancer. Nidhoeggr said: PS: Also, if this is featured content I kinda expect a certain quality standard. Stuff like "The best Naruto attacks" or "Top 10 Titan moments" sounds like a ripoff of really bad YT lists 12-year olds created. I hope you try to diversify the portfolio of writers if you want more people to care about it. I, for example, would greatly enjoy featured articles about worldbuilding analysis in different series or detailed mangaka portraits about people like Nihei, Taniguchi, Asano, etc. and how their style developed. ^ This, i would like to see some featured Anime Creator/Mangaka`s blog. I would like to see some Compilation of Anime Director`s featured articles as well. |

| How about a setup that allows us to choose which type of titles/entries (English, Japanese or romanized/original) the site system will show individually? A lot of sites already have this, I'm sure it's very useful and not difficult to implement. |
| I don't like it. Can i block it? Better bring back "Member Favorites" or however it was called. |

Paulo27 said: STOP adding this shit and fix your god damn list and search bugs, how damn hard can that be? Cnon said: Totally agreed. They should stop adding useless features and start to fixing other things Pretty much my thoughts. I get them wanting to expand the site, but their priorities are terrible. Instead of fixing things, they're adding things that aren't needed atm. Soon, we'll get 200 more features and nothing that needs fixing will have been fixed. That's how things crumble. |
| This site is becoming a huge embarrassment with all these nonsensical updates. |
  |
| Please do not turn this site into a second Buzzfeed disasterpiece. You developers have higher standards than that, right? |
 |
| MAL is beyond saving at this point. |
| I'm considering to switch to anidb but I know it's basic at best what should I do? Yeah I know you can use css themes but I'm not really fond of them |
|
| and "Dudes who recently watched this shit" |

| All these pretentious people saying "No hope for MAL/I quit this/This is becoming ridiculous", I cant hold all my laughters. And guy above me is right, add that feature. Seriously |
Klad said: And guy above me is right, add that feature. Seriously That feature is still available, but you need 2 more clicks to see it. It would be easier if everything was on the front page of the anime. With that they could fill empty spaces on the side if they want to make it look more modern. |

| Truly horrid update |
 |
| I'm confused. Did I join an anime listing site or a streaming/blog site? Do the site developers even care what we think? I noticed no one went back to that Streaming Anime Through MAL thread and answered questions people had over there. |

I noticed no one went back to that Streaming Anime Through MAL thread and answered questions people had over there. They don't give a flying fuck about what we think. As I said they keep removing useful features and adding useless ones. |

| So, this is a Naruto fanblog or am I misunderstanding something here? |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
CDXX said: So, this is a Naruto fanblog or am I misunderstanding something here? Don't worry, I am sure we will have many more interesting things on that feature - like "Top Ten Worst MAL Staff Decisions In 2015"! |
| Steel Ball Run anime when? |
| It looks nice but I was so used to the old one -__- |
| Free Spoilers anyone? http://myanimelist.net/featured |

| I think it could have potential. It would have to rely on a few users who are good at writing and/or know how to pick interesting topics rather than what we have currently, but the potential is still there. What's more concerning to me is how rapid these developments are taking place. At this point I would say they're happening too rapidly. (Never expected to say that about MAL.) The staff and users don't even have time to adjust and BAM, another huge expansion. All of these developments could use the staff's/user's full attention to make the best of, but now it's being split up. Afaik the staff are still trying to get the MAL Rewrite stuff going, and that was announced over a month ago. Now they have the new News section and this article stuff to be concerned with. All three of those deserve the staff's/userbase's full attention (at least at first), and now it's being split multiple ways. It just makes it feel like we're going the quantity over quality route, which is disappointing. Also, as another user mentioned, I would appreciate it if the devs would focus on improving existing features before creating new stuff. The review section has needed improvements for a long time now. |
| Dang, all these updates are great! It's really giving the site a fresh look. Now if we can just figure something out for the user's homepage :) |

Nidhoeggr said: Don't worry, I am sure we will have many more interesting things on that feature - like "Top Ten Worst MAL Staff Decisions In 2015"! This was hilarious. I would definitely look forward to that. |
| I'm curious about what will be next for this site. I'd say a timer that counts down the number of people logging on every day, as the number slowly dwindles to zero. Seems like a lot of these changes are pissing a lot of people off. |

All I saw was a blank white page. |
| I guess it's good to make ad revenue to support the site... I'll stay away from that feature. These kind of articles are cancerous. If I want to see content about a specific anime, I'll just look for their subreddit or something. |

| Is it limited only to bad anime like Naruto or Attack on Titan? Can articles about good anime be featured? |
 |
| This looks like an April Fools' joke. Buzzfeed: Naruto edition. How embarrassing. |
| Time to be constructive. This feels rushed. It looks like you had completely no idea what to put there, so you took Naruto and Attack on Titan, gathered some Buzzfeed-like articles and slapped them on a page. A page which can't decide how it wants to look, so it has five different designs at once: - four articles with large covers and animations (!), and with black link color (as opposed to blue everywhere else), - list of articles with smaller images, - three MORE lists of articles, with DUPLICATES from the previous lists, - list of four columnists, which is completely useless for anyone (just links to profiles, no other info about their articles), - tag cloud. (And then there's an RSS Feed button out of nowhere! What is this a feed of? It's under tags, so the intuition says I'd subscribe to new tags.) From these five, you could change it to three and not lose any meaningful functionality. Keep large article covers, but only put remarkable ones there. The list below is fine. The tag cloud might be changed to a vertical list in the sidebar, allowing it to grow while keeping it readable, and adding space for RSS feed link for each separate tag. The animations in covers are the worst part. This steals the focus from other content, which will lead to all articles using gifs in covers. Try to imagine how hard it would be to skim through when you're looking for something interesting to read. Most of the articles are tagged as Spoilers, but the spoiling text is visible in the summary anyway. Tags are rounded, while all other page elements are rectangular. 1px wide lines under headers are dark gray, while all other lines are light gray. "More" link is emboldened, while "View more" and "All Tags" are not. "All Tags" uses the terrible, terrible Title Case (as do tags), while "View more" does not. Some articles use Title Case, while some don't. (My personal plea is to use Sentence case for titles, so they don't look like taken directly from Buzzfeed.) The ENTIRE page is titled "featured articles", but I can't really see how they're featured. My understanding of the word is that the article has to be exceptional, worth reading or something. But right now everything is featured, so nothing is. (Or maybe the "featured" part relates to the top four articles with large covers? Who knows...) Again, it feels completely rushed. If you wanted to make a better impression, you could have asked some people privately to write original, interesting articles about something other than Naruto, and THEN open the page to the public. Right now it's blatantly pandering to the lowest common denominator, which makes me want to add this whole /featured thing to my list "parts of MAL I stay away from". |
| I keep reading columnist as communist. Gotta agree with Fri's post though. |

| Will someone remove or hide those spoilers please?? |
|
| It seems nice, its in the "infant stage" for features and I don't think I ever heard a suggestion for this.. I have read some articles in there and well.. It got my attention a bit :o |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| Well, hopefully they increase in quality with time... |
