I have a lot in my plan to watch list that when i come around to watch a certain anime and notice that episodes are 1-3 min long I always regret not watching them earlier

as such I would like to suggest an option to sort by episode duration so that i can be reminded which series have short episode when sifting through the list

I'd like to see this in the Anime/Manga search section as well. Would make it much easier to search for shorts.

iMDB sorts them according to type, not duration, technically, but since there is a variety, even individual episodes, they can be filtered, so I guess it could be used as an alternative... this site on the other hand thinks it's all one big movie.

This would make it so much easier to find anime shorts. It would also be cool if in advanced search we could decide exactly how long we want our episodes (eg. minimum 5 minutes max 15), but maybe that's asking too much.

At this point it's pretty obvious that we need more sorting options.

Again this one too can works well.

I have been told that it is not staff that determines this, it is who codes the site. so... that always takes longer I guess. So all those demands for new genres and ways to search are mostly just falling on deaf ears. *sigh*

lol figures lol
Wouldn't the staff have to tell the coder? lol
Funny thing on that topic, the creator of MAL has less anime on his list then most of the people I've seen on this site lol


actually has a life I guess.

I have more anime than most people my age.

This seems like the best way to implement this. I love the min & max idea.

That would come in handy with users' anime/manga lists.
And still, Bill will live on.
He will befriend the next inhabitants of the earth, beings of light who revere him as a god.
And Bill will outlive them all... for millions and millions of years...exploring, learning, living,
until the earth is swallowed beneath his feet.
Until the sun is long since gone.
Until time loses all meaning and the moment comes that he knows only the positions of the stars
and sees them whether his eyes are closed or open.
Until he forgets his name and the place where he'd once come from.
He lives and he lives until all of the lights go out.

The only problem is, they need to create a new container for the duration in the database.

+1, it would also be useful for finding a movie if you only have a specific amount of time you can spend watching.

It would also be nice to sort by episode count in the PTW list. In the PTW list, I could never understand why there's a "progress" button and not an "episode count count" button.

The closest thing similar to this is
https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/414627-total-duration-time-total-episodes-of-any-animes-franchises
and
https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/407736-total-and-remaning-duration-of-any-animes-on-mal

I'm probably not going to do anything besides this, though I made a script to manually run on the browser console, that scans all the entries on the currently search page, and the script can show me only the entries I want, like entries with 10 or less eps.

@Fuseteam

Wouldn't it be smarter to know/show how much time a whole anime franchise takes to be watched?

Like some franchises may have specials of 60 EPs of 15 secs by EP,this entry could be watched in less than 15 minutes +/-, but what if the rest of the franchise was huge and full of 25 minutes EPs?

I guess nobody would watch the special that has 60 EPs of 15 secs first and "forget" or watch much later the rest of the franchise.

That's why I think would be smarter to know/see which franchises are the longest and shortest one's. Then maybe that could be sorted by the amount of hours it takes.

well yeah but you don't always watch a whole franchise in one go, sometimes you want to clear a couple of small entries of your list
