| Anime/Manga Search The old search landing pages, which used to be populated by recent reviews and recommendations, are in the process of being revamped. While the pages are temporarily only a wall of text, you can see the beginnings of our new genre search pages, anime studio pages, and manga magazine pages. Results are currently sorted by most entries/members, and the view can be toggled between cells or lists. This is the first step in a series of improvements coming for our anime/manga searches. Please look forward to more robust search and display options in the future. Anime DB Moderators Needed Site-wide recruitment is still ongoing! Consider applying if you'd like to help contribute more to MAL. Other Dev Concerns I suspect there will be some complaints that this update was pushed before all the bugs are worked out on the new profile design, and before the review system sees more improvements. Please understand that development on MAL is now (finally!) a team effort. This means that multiple projects are being planned, developed, debugged, and executed simultaneously. A series of fixes for the profile design should be pushed sometime today. We haven't had time to make any posts in regards to the profile design yet, but we're reading and processing all your feedback. Review changes are also still in the pipeline; they have not been forgotten. Please try to understand that multiple ongoing projects is the way development works on MAL now. We appreciate your patience. |
| Holy smokes now this is cool |
| :3 |
| So, i can't sort out stuff by score anymore...? |
| Finally an easy way to search magazines/studios. |

Kineta said: Great!! I look forward of this.. :D |
 read from right to left |
| Well this is interesting. I use the feature sometimes so it's kinda nice to see a revamp. |
 |
worldeditor11 said: Oh boy. What do you expect when the devs can't even finish one project properly? That's how development works. Projects are always running in parallel. |
Carks32 said: So, i can't sort out stuff by score anymore...? Top anime/manga pages are still there, and there's still the option when you use advanced search to find something. Interesting that Sho-Comi apparently has more manga entries than any other manga magazine. I wouldn't have expected that. |
| There is no such thing as shit taste. Only idiots who think everyone should have the same taste as they do. |
| Sounds interesting. I'm looking forward to the finished product. |

| Insert philosophical quote or exceptional picture here. |
| I like the new searching Especially being able to look at anime theres been made in the 1910's |
 |
| Sweet! I really like what's there so far! Also, that's totally understandable. Thanks for all the work! |
Carks32 said: So, i can't sort out stuff by score anymore...? interesting question, they could have copied the filters/sorting from the seasonal anime page (since they seems to have copied the design from there anyway) kuuderes_shadow said: Carks32 said: So, i can't sort out stuff by score anymore...?

Kineta said: Carks32 said: You can.

 Fixes to make the Profile more bearable after "the Modern★Profile★Update★★Rip★Profile★" |
| Well, that's nice. More than the search pages, I'm looking forward to the profile page fixes. |
 |
| That's a nice feature! great job :D Looking forward for upcoming projects |
 |
| I LOVE THIS SITE.. now that's what I call it "MAL in 2015" |
Kineta said: There's only one fix it needs, reverting to the old layout or at least the option to choose which to use. No matter how long you polish a turd, it's still a turd.A series of fixes for the profile design should be pushed sometime today. |

Yaoi-sensei said: Ah..toei..yeah you shouldn't be surprised since it's like the bigest and oldest and richest animation studio in japan..I'm more surprised about Madhouse,..I mean, I didn't expect them to be in the 3rd place right after Toei and Sunrise..Thank you so much! I feel I'm new to MAL now XD Lol, Toei is the most used studio? XD Hope A-1 Pictures adapted more show <3 WHAT??? THERE IS ONLY 4K BL MANGA IN MAL????? HOW THE F*** CAN I ADD THE REST 6K + 3K BL NOVELS?????????? T^T TOO MUCH. Even the magazine, Oh my god. I think I should start working when my Exams is done and my new laptop is coming soon. Also..I think if A-1 keep it up with 3-5 anime every season..it will surpass Toei in some years..you now..they actually start making anime only in 2006..(Toei since 40s) - - I think you guys should add Incest and Lolicon and shits like that to the manga Tags..:/ |
| Nice idea :) good luck with the recruit |
 |
| Well, this is certainly cool. |
| Hi can I be mod pls. |
 |
| This is nice. Credit where it's due. |
| Awesome, the studios/magazines section I really like. Makes things easier for me as I like looking at what series certain studios have done. |
| Very nice, it's looking great <3 Matoro_Mahri said: #2, each entry needs to be tagged with 1 (one) studio recognized as the actual animation studio (or if multiple studios are credited with that position, all of them). No more random Lantis or Aniplex under producers, make it so we can clearly so what animation studio produced them. This would help a lot. |
 |
| great work keep it up |
 |
Kineta said: Anime DB Moderators Needed Site-wide recruitment is still ongoing! Consider applying if you'd like to help contribute more to MAL. I think I've read this somewhere before but you're only recruiting people over 17 y/o for mods, right? |
   |
| It would be great if you giving us an option to revert to the old layout since there are some people who like the old one. Though for me, i am not really complaining about the new one. |

| Nice job this is how stuffs needs to be done,much better search than the old one. |
 |
| It's looking nice; best recent change. I'm looking forward to the updates. Particular props for making sorting by year more visible. I don't think most people knew you could do that before via the seasonal anime page. xbobx said: Kineta said: A series of fixes for the profile design should be pushed sometime today.

Matoro_Mahri said: I second this..#2, each entry needs to be tagged with 1 (one) studio recognized as the actual animation studio (or if multiple studios are credited with that position, all of them). No more random Lantis or Aniplex under producers, make it so we can clearly so what animation studio produced them. If you want to fill in other associated companies, do it AniDB- or ANN-style where you list their position for each entry. The current way of associating producers with entries is just stupid. |
| Now, this actually looks pretty neat. Good job!! Also this: Matoro_Mahri said: #2, each entry needs to be tagged with 1 (one) studio recognized as the actual animation studio (or if multiple studios are credited with that position, all of them). No more random Lantis or Aniplex under producers, make it so we can clearly so what animation studio produced them. This would be really helpful, especially when looking up older anime. |
| Great. New site upgrade. API update/upgrade when? |
| Nice job! |
worldeditor11 said: arsonal said: That's how development works. Projects are always running in parallel. Uhh, yeah? Never said otherwise. In any case, I meant it as MAL lacking a proper base to work on comparing to most of the well planned out software projects do. Not to mention devs incompetence in handling such projects. Moreover, software components are usually worked simultaneously if they have enough manpower. Do we have enough manpower? I think we all know the answer to this... And the answer is very simple. |
| How to fix the review section, detailed here The average reader (HS level) reads at about 200 WPM. So a 500-800 word review should take 3-5 minutes to read. That's an acceptable length for something you're interested in spending 25 minutes to 4.5 hours of your life watching. Oh, and ANN requires any and all reviews to be 800-1200 words, no matter the length of the show. |
| hum.... |
| Nice search page ^_^ Keep it up ^_^ |
on 
| I still use only search bar (pick anime or manga) and do not believe there's only 34 Yuri titles oh no! the search is like I dunno (I just look for similar anime on certain title page in Recommendations section-more than enough and accurate search).But hey! the more options the better!.And I just love the design of each theme region http://i58.tinypic.com/2qvbo9k.png like some anime calendar! |
