| As promised in June, our initial release of the Seasonal Anime Page was only the first step. We're excited to announce that our dev team has now pushed some new features to the page, including: Sorting Options! Default is set to "Most Members", but you can choose from one of many other options: Start Date, Title (alphabetical), Score, Studio, and Licensor. Your last choice is remembered. Filters! Kids/R18+. Some of you were concerned that R18+ was hidden, but the page was still populated with children's shows that you didn't want to see. Now you can hide both and see the more "traditional" season chart series. Your last choice for R18+/Kids is also now remembered. Genres. These filters work like the Kids/R18+ filters: they exclude any series with genres you deselect (i.e. NOT). This way you can hide anime with genres you dislike; e.g. sports, horror, school, etc... We decided that excluding disliked genres was the most important application of a genre filter for a seasonal chart, while more robust genre filters are more useful for the advanced anime search. Please use it for a little while and let us know if it meets the majority of your needs. Since we assume if you want to hide all romance anime once, you'll probably always want to hide them: Your last genre choices are remembered. My List. These filters let you choose between your different Anime List states, including series which are not your list. This way you can only see series you completed, or can see series both in your Plan to Watch and not yet in your list, etc. Since the seasonal anime page is primarily intended as an overview of the season and not a replacement for the list feature, your list choices are not remembered. Filtered counter. We've also added a little counter to show you how many series are currently visible after filtering, in case you forget that you applied a bunch of genre filters the last time you visited the page (and are wondering why this season seems so sparse...). Other Additions Episode count. With the implementation of the "My List" filter, you can now also see your progress on series you're watching this season, and increment the episodes from the seasonal anime page. Licensors. To allow users to sort series which have been licensed by FUNimation, Aniplex, etc., licensor information has been added to the anime cells. We're aware the design is non-ideal now with this addition (most studios/licensors overflow the container), so we're currently considering an improved cell design for the page. (If you have any great ideas and want to whip out Paint/PS to sketch them out, feel free to post here in the next few days and add to our creative pool.) Fixed Navigation. The season page navigation and sorting/filtering options now scroll with you, for convenience. We hope that these new features improve everyone's usability and enjoyment of the page. Please let us know of any difficulties you may encounter and look forward to future updates! --- And for those that missed the previous announcement, our Fantasy Anime League game is looking for new staff. Consider checking out the thread if you'd like to get more involved with the community. Edit: Typos. Why did it have to be typos? |

| Nice! I was looking forward to this. |
 |
| good to see the hentai listed, you never know ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) |
| :3 |
| Nice to see the update on this. |
 |
| ok....thanx :) |
 |
| Good stuff, thanks for the update. |
 |
| thanks for the genre filter |
 |
| Cool feature. |
 |
| Well at least it's more aesthetic than using manual search filters |
  |
| a right step but anichart is still superior imo |
| That 'my list' option sounds useful, nice. |
 |
| Good job! :D |
 "In the past few months since we met, I've shared many memories with Nagato. Though I've also shared memories with Haruhi, Asahina-san and Koizumi, I found that I've experienced more events with Nagato in particular. In fact, every situation seems to involve her. I might as well mention this, she's probably the only person to cause the bell within me to shake the most vigorously..." ~ Kyon, TMOSH |
| Awesome, thanks for the hard work! |

I'd have other priorities for this website but they know what they do so... it's up to them. Thanks for the time spent working on MAL =D |
| I solemnly swear that I will not visit AniChart anymore. Edit: I found a bug. I'm trying to sort by score, but for some reason Junjou Romantica 3 keeps coming up first. Please follow up, dev team. Thanks! |

| Pretty snazzy, but all this really does is make me realize how little new shows there are in fall. They're almost all renewed seasons. |
 |
| This page has already helped me out, and now its getting better. Sorting options are always great so.. good job. |
 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. |
| That fixed header is terrible. It lags, has an ugly animation and takes way too much space. |
| Fancy, I like it when they remember what sorting options I like |
 |
| no moar need to google anilist... *cough* |
| Good-o. Appreciated. |

| Very nice update! |

moodie said: Tachii said: ehhh its good but other list sites are far superior as of nowno moar need to google anilist... *cough* But there's the advantage of adding an anime in your list directly from the chart. |
| This is a great way to find some anime to watch for a new season. Keep it going MAL |
| Please make the My List filter remember the results at least for a bit, it's annoying to have to recheck it everytime just from changing seasons (especially if you want to see if you missed stuff in past seasons or whatever). Also, would be great if it remembered the category it picked when we change seasons (i.e. if we pick Special or OVA for a season, when chaging, it'll default to All and that can be annoying if we're only searching for a certain type). Additionally, while way less important, would be nice to be able to select multiple categories. Thank you for the update. |
 |
| Great stuff. Will test it. Definitely. |
"There is nothing outside of yourself that enables you to get better. Everything is within. Seek nothing outside of yourself." ⛩️  |
| Great! Convenience and usefulness are two of those things that are never enough. Congrats on the great job and thanks for constantly making the site better! |
| Filtering options + |
 |
| tyvm very happy |
 |
| Sounds like a lot of good, convenient updates for that page. The only other thing I'd really like to see is the inclusion of UK licensors as well as the American ones: the former is much more relevant to me than the latter, the latter being something I'm not as concerned about. |
| nice work MAL staff but when is the ETA of each episode though on the season page like on AniChart or HaruhiChan |
| Well, that's nice. |
 |
| Thank you for your hard work and keep it up! |
| Oooh nice work guys j0x said: but when is the ETA of each episode though on the season page like on AniChart or HaruhiChan Yeah would be nice to have that added in as well. :) |
 |
| Thanks for the new features! :D It would be better to change the status of an anime by clicking on "add" and choosing the status through a drop down menu, imo. It is a hassle to first change the status of an anime and then having to refresh the page for the changes to appear. |
| Now just add "Exclude Genre" Option and im sold... |
 |

vivan said: I was thinking that the current appearance doesn't make it very intuitive that the genre selection is exclusion. Perhaps changing the checkbox to something like the following would make it more apparent?Genre option they added IS exclusion, it's just that they made it in the most confusing way (deselected genres will be excluded). lawlmartz said: As I have said in the review thread multiple times, development on the site is step-wise. When you have a team of multiple people, you divide them into different tasks. Please stay on the topic of this thread; off-topic posts are considered spam as per the Site & Forum Guidelines.Why don't we stop fixing things that aren't broken and instead focus on the real issue, which is the review section? This seems to have been conveniently forgotten. |
