| i dont even know what the fansub group was anyway so i can live without it, glad things are back to normal for the most part |

As part of ongoing efforts to support the anime and manga industry, the Fansub Group section of the site has been removed. Why did you add the first part of the sentence ? Was it necessary to insult fansub and to show your lack of knowledge about the anime world ? So, it might surprise you but NOT ALL ANIME ARE LICENSED IN ALL LANGUAGES. Sorry, but the "CR are just, fansub are evil" gimmicks really makes me angry. |

It's best gone. Anyone who wants fansubs should already know where to get them. |

| Sad to see that Fansubs have been removed, its all thanks to Crunchyroll partnership they have right now. |

| Shame about the fansubs, but well... *shrug* |

Anyone who wants fansubs should already know where to get them. Exactly, or trolls trashing good groups as well, mostly during fansubs "golden age". Well, it was a history of many fansub groups, some of you may not want to remember the name... It's quite unexpected it survived so far already. Please make a good API, with support for easy covers fetching for our beloved cover generator devs. |
| Removing the fansub feature is a loss :/ |
| fansub? we could google it right away anyway in any choice of language |
 MAL score and most user-based rating system are all joke, Imagine trusting plebs and hivemind. Find users who have good sense and rating and use them as a reference. Check my guide to rate Your taste is trash. Cope, seethe, mald |
| As far as "efforts to support the anime and manga industry" go, is it possible to block the 3rd-party extensions that allow people to link their activity on bootleg streaming sites to MAL and automatically update their lists? While that might not directly support the industries, it would remove an advantage that bootleg streaming sites have over legitimate services, since legal streaming sites cannot provide integration with databases like MAL. |

| i dont really understand about website technical stuff, but could u guys from MAL implements the anime affinity search made by @overmes (http://affinity.animesos.net/) into MAL, or at least help him fix his websites with the API problem.. thanks.. |
 Try reading Spy x Family Manga ^_^ U will love it, i promise... |
| Nice to see it's back like it used to be. Seeing the fansub section gone is a bit sad, but there are alternatives for that, so it probably was a necessary step. And OMG, we can update the seasonals with the + Symbol again, this was the feature I missed the most! |

As part of ongoing efforts to support the anime and manga industry, the Fansub Group section of the site has been removed. Remove to improve, hooray...We are currently working a new terms of use for third party application developers. Also, we have mostly finished reviewing all the tasks necessary for completing development. We are planning to start work on the remaining development some time next week. So it was more of a legal/licensing problem than a security problem. Just be honest from the get-go.Also, I liked it much better when Xinil, Kineta or any other, actual profile made these types of news instead of just some generic social media response account. Anyway, great that the Staff page is back again; I was missing it in the road map of things to fix. |
| Oh look, one more fuck up added to mal. |
Please learn about cel animation and its technical process. Learn how special effects and backlighting were done without computers. |
As part of ongoing efforts to support the anime and manga industry, the Fansub Group section of the site has been removed. "Ongoing efforts to support the anime and manga industry", more like "we were given sweet $$$s by Crunchytroll and decided to withgo our own principles, just like they decided to withgo their principles once upon a time when they were given sweet $$$s and then started propagating against the evils of piracy despite the fact that they wouldn't have gotten anywhere had it not been for the existence of piracy". Just be honest, you got paid and the money got to you.Tyrel said: They actually made me miss Crave OnlineDeNa trash as always. |

| This is rubbish, the fansubs function was an invaluable resource... please change your mind MAL and bring it back. |
| Greatest Anime website of all time don't @ me. |
| Wow. You guys are such losers for removing the fansub section. That was one of the most important parts of an anime page. And your reasoning is really stupid as well. Utterly disgraceful. |

Swagernator said: Tyrel said: :^). That'd be funny, but no I asked to be demodded cause I'm too busy with school and work (Plus I'm sick of DeNa) It's not like you will be missed as a moderator ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) On the contrary, Tyrel has always appeared to do a ton of modding work on MAL’s behalf, which is very helpful when a mod really is needed for something. Say what you will about MAL’s staffing policies or the admins’ decisions, but Tyrel is cool in my book. I’m sad to see him go even though it’s understandable. |
Gundroog said: myanimelistllc said: As part of ongoing efforts to support the anime and manga industry, the Fansub Group section of the site has been removed. Removing fansubs to support the industry? Let's be more honest and say it's in an attempt to be more advertiser friendly. Companies are probably a bit more iffy about working with MAL knowing that it offers helpful info about who subbed what and who did it best cause saying it's to support to industry is either ignorant or dishonest. Fansubs and scanlations let people experience anime and manga before western publishers even knew what those words mean. They continue to do so to this day by either translating works that don't have official translations or offering higher quality translations than companies that ask money for it. If they didn't exist I doubt MAL's userbase would be even half as big and Crunchyroll wouldn't even exist to begin with without their less than legal origins. Existence of other sites that provide this feature doesn't make MAL's reasoning any better. True though. Some anime will probably never get licensed unless you buy the across country version with untranslated language. That came with legal streaming sites with different varieties and they doesn't have full access to some countries or animes. Fansubs probably the thing that makes anime Community bigger than the publishers. The Manga/LN itself showing the fact that any of it that remains Untranslated both by fans and publisher will never known despite how good it was. Calling it to support industry is a BS because the Industry itself have slow productivity and shunned itself for greeds. |
| You should keep fan subs on nu-licenced anime but then again I know a site that does stuff like this but better. |
| added the fourth most popular anime onto this site |
| At least MAL you Should discuss removing fansubs with users it's so bad to do this without any discus with MAL users and i think this is not the best timing to do it. |

| Sadnu :( |
| Any word on @import? |
 |
 And it only took like 5 months~ But, you sure like that red button huh. Had to sneak another push there at the end. |
| If only AniDB got better UI making it easier to use it would kill MAL in a blink of an eye... What a landfill this site has become. |
Ii tenki desu ne... |
| It also has much better and more logical DB structure. It's still a DB while MAL has become some kind of crappy fb/cr addon. |
Ii tenki desu ne... |
| Well, I didn't know who/what fansub was until maybe a few hours ago. Fansub is definitely part of anime industry. I mean, in anime industry we have formal and informal industry. So, fansub is part of the informal industry, it just doesn't matter whether these subs are used on bootleg sites or whatever. |
| Talk is cheap, show me the code. Almost is not good enough. |
| >As part of ongoing efforts to support the anime and manga industry, the Fansub Group section of the site has been removed. What a load of bullshit. Both your site and shits like CrunchyRoll wouldn't even exist without fansubs. What's the fucking logic behind deleting fansub data of shows which aren't localized by any company? There is none. You are a bunch of moronic hypocrite scum and should kill yourselves. |
Zaugr said: Heh. Reality is far more interesting than you imagined. CrunchyRoll was founded on stolen fansub releases. Fansubs were 100% of CrunchyRoll's existence in its first years and even after they went legal (from a site which steals pirated episodes and demands money for it), big chunk of their employees were ex fansubbers.I'm willing to bet that Crunchyroll would have never even come about without all the old fansub groups' role in making anime as widely popular as it is today, nor would so many companies be interested in releasing their films and shows abroad. |
| > As part of ongoing efforts to support the anime and manga industry, the Fansub Group section of the site has been removed. Yeah, Aikatsu!, PreCure, Battle Spirits, Inazuma Eleven, Jewelpet, Appmon, and many other animes that have no "legal" way to watch outside Japan don't exist. Definitely. |
| Watch Jewelpet Twinkle |
| lol what MAL has become stop trying to become crunchyroll v2 or something, this is a database. |

Wow lol. I think I remember those days. That was like ten years ago! If I recall correctly, they had a super low quality flash player for free, but they would charge for the higher quality player. Haven't used them since tho |
| Looking forward to any concrete info regarding the API revamp |
myanimelistllc said: As part of ongoing efforts to support the anime and manga industry, the Fansub Group section of the site has been removed. Give me a break. The only reason I own so many LICENSED blu-rays, LICENSED manga, LICENSED accessories, and LICENSED figures is because of fan translations. Crunchyroll VRV whatever. HS was consistently the lowest ranked sub option for a reason. Having the best UI of all of the popular anime/manga tracking sites won't be enough to keep users if you continue removing popular features. Especially when more and more users switch to convenient 3rd party apps to update their watch history. |

| I'm really glad everything's back and working again (and, just personally, the notification on top of pages, which (on my pc) always took just that little bit longer to load than the page itself, had become very annoying for that very reason). I have my doubts about whether removing the Fansub Group section will prove to be helpful in the support of the Anime and Manga industry. Will they benefit from this for real and notice a change in real life? Is the impact going to be sufficient enough to actually reach that far? Maybe it will be, though I think it isn't very likely. The Fansub Group section has always been very helpful whenever I couldn't find an anime series by its name and such. Searching for torrents using the name of fansub groups is kind of my last resort trick to find a series, and it gets the job done almost every time you can't find something in any other way. For me, who frequently looked at it, it just sucks that it's gone now. I'll need to use another site to find them now, and that's probably what the majority of the people here will do whenever they need to know which sub groups subbed what they're looking for. |

It won't help at all. The majority of pirates wouldn't buy in the first place. |
| so any update on API? MAL updater doesnt work because of it, it such a useful program it feels like i am in stone age going on MAL and updating manually |

Zalis said: I hope so. Though perhaps this decision will breathe more life into the sleepy AniDB release group comments/forums. |

Drunk_Samurai said: It won't help at all. The majority of pirates wouldn't buy in the first place. That too, is true. Plus there's tons of countries (including mine) where, even if you are willing to buy anime/manga stuff (anything at all), you simply can't. Because the right stores are so few in number you'd have to travel far to even visit the nearest one. Speaking for myself, the stores are hard to find, and there are stores that you only discover if you're 'accidentally' spending a day in another city and you're lucky enough to come across one, which doesn't have its address information listed anywhere. Heck, and the stores we have don't sell products from series of which I would buy anything, anything at all. Bright side being that at least there are anime/manga stores located in my country at all. It could be worse. Long story short: aside from buying from anime stores overseas, the lack of more convenient and customer-friendly options makes me yet another one who pirates. I'm being honest about it (which doesn't make me a good pirate), but I'm not proud of it. (I'll leave it at that seeing as it's not exactly on-topic...) |
 I need some support too. |
| What a shame to delete the fansub group section... |
| Please asap fix this API we want to use taiga. |
