Celebrate Tanabata and get ready for Summer with these limited-edition themes~

No MAL Supporter exclusive theme this time. If you have any ideas for animated backgrounds for the next batch, let us know.


Claim them before July 31st!




No challenge stacks this month either. Badges for the last challenge should be given out this week.
We're considering some ideas now for the summer break... Let us know if you have any hopes for anime/manga themes there too ๐Ÿ‘€

I think I'll use the Dramatic Clouds theme for the time being.

Clicking on this link logs me out. Clicking on "MAL x Japan" in the menu also logs me out. The switch tick box in "About Me Style" to "Modern" on the settings page is unresponsive. Tried two different browsers with different settings and adblocking off - the problem is on your side.
Same issue here. :/

So every year there'll be new season themes?
One one hand, that makes for more variety, but on the other that means that I won't be able to get back the summer themes of last year's, especially the ones with the summer sky and also that one one with (iirc) a beach and some waves (these ones looked nice - not that this year's don't, but they were y'know different, and to me at least seemed certainly more summery than say the one with the clouds of this year's, which to me gives more of a fall vibe).
Such a pity... :-(

P.S. Btw, I was able to claim the themes just fine, by going from the About Me Design button on my profile page, 'cause the link on this forum topic indeed doesn't work.

(edit: added link)

They're lovely! I was having a difficult time choosing which one to use for now.
I really like the anime Ride Your Wave, it would be nice to have a sunny beach/ocean/surfboard theme.

I love the new themes! I'm totally going to try the rain one when I get the chance!

As for a new theme, could you try making a deep sea theme with fish in it? As in, having normal ocean fish on top but the longer a user's about me page deep sea creatures start to show up at the bottom.

The Tanabata theme looks very good.

I would love to have an animated "star gazing" theme inspired by the Perseids. I know we already have some star themes but they are kinda too blueish, would be nice to have a more black or dark gray one with animated shooting stars. Maybe it could also be next year's Tanabata theme with an Orihime and Hikoboshi reference in it.

This is the last holiday release before we cycle around to where we started (your link). Since we weren't able to claim themes until December, we're considering re-running last year's themes so they can be claimed in Aug/Sep ;) As for every year, we haven't really decided yet what we plan to do long-term with the holiday themes. For now, as long as the community is excited to use them, we'll keep considering adding fresh ones.

Ah, that would be great, thank you for considering it (here's hoping it does happen btw). :-)
Also, while variety is indeed good, I don't think you should feel pressured to add new themes if you don't have any good ideas for them, as afaik making them might not be trivial, so personally I'd prefer fewer, but well-made themes, rather than more but less well-made (so yeah, even if you ended up mostly rotating the same themes every year, adding only few new ones, I wouldn't mind).

Just claimed the Tanabata Festival one. So we can claim as many even though we're not really gonna us the Modern About Me at the moment. I wish I claimed some before. Anyways, as stated above it seems we're gonna be able to claim past designs. Yey!

I'm still waiting for BBCode (or even Markdown) support on the Modern About Me (for indexing purposes) that's why I haven't really given it a try before. I know there's a 'Preview Theme' button but I wish there's also a preview or live preview on the 'Edit Modern About Me Design' page before I click 'Save'. Also wish gifs can be uploaded not just jpg or png.

So are all previous designs gonna be available again (except the supporter-exclusive, of course)?

Figured I'd mention the same thing is happening to me as NejyCR, and when I tried your suggestion it still didn't work. I tried this on mobile and desktop, both using Chrome. No rush, just thought I'd let you know. Thank you in advance. :>

Edit 7/9: It works now! Thank you ๐Ÿ’–

Good to know it wasn't just me. I did end up being access the link the next day - it 100% was something wrong on MAL's end. I got nervous it could've been another "Lain" moment.

I can't seem to access it from my profile... I was looking forward to a rainy season theme since last year...
I can't even change my about me theme since I can't access the page.. It says site can't be reached..

These new themes doesn't suit my taste. I am still contented of my current theme but thank you for continuously adding more themes for us to choose from.

I'll just wait for the next MAL Supporter exclusive theme with animated background.

I'd love a beach/ocean one. Maybe the ocean waves would move? Or the clouds? Idk.

Thanks for the cute new profiles in the meantime. :)
