| this sounds like a nice idea, but i don't think it'll happen anytime soon since the notification system itself currently broken. |
| http://myanimelist.net/clubs.php?cid=8652 And check the news discussion regularly, Dtshyk does a good job at finding news, unless you're watching something very obscure, there's bound to be an announcement. edit: and why do you really need it? All spin-offs, sequels , movies etc are listed in the database and can be easily found just looking at the page for the anime. If it isn't in the database, then you wouldn't be getting notifications anyway. |

huyyy said: what if a user has watched over 400 anime and loved them all, how would he keep up 2 date on what anime has an sequal the notification email would be a great feature +1 for me First of all, I doubt anyone has watched 400 completely unrelated anime (or manga), and given all 400 a 10.. Of course, that is unrelated, but felt like pointing it out. Again, as I said, every anime page contains what sequels or spin-offs have come out or will come out, if one really feels like watching such a thing, you could find it with a click of a button, really it doesn't take much time. And again, every title which gets q sequel is usually announced in the news section; Seeing as there aren't that many "announced" titles at any one time, it's quite easy to be on top of things. furthermore, the club I linked before lists all the anime which will be aired in the next season (and i'm sure you can find other comprehensive lists for a particular new anime season without much ado), A glance will tell you what will come out in the coming months, quite easy, no? Certainly, a notification feature for series might be useful, but it all comes down to lazyness. You can easily find sequels without such a notification. |
| I think this topic is quite similar to what you're looking for: http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=43824 Generally we already have relations set up between sequels, specials, OVAs, and spin-offs. If you want something broader, the recommendations are there for a reason. You can also follow these two pages: http://tinyurl.com/yf9enbv http://tinyurl.com/yfgoe3v Links wouldn't process correctly in the post >.> The news feed is also worth following if you want updates on sequels and new anime. Yes, automated notifications are easier for you, but it's not like there aren't any resources on the site that can already help. It's just a matter of checking once in a while. |
| Hi, I'm not sure if I'm in the right place, but I would like to suggest a new feature in this website - notifications. In particular, I would like notifications of new seasons/ ovas/ etc, of animes which are already in our anime list. If it is already possible, please let me know how. (Excuse my not so good English.) Thank you in advance. |
| This... is actually a really good idea. I'd like it very much if the site would notify me when OVAs of series I've watched aired, or anime that I've put on my "plan to watch list" start airing. Would save me a ton of trouble having to check every week. +1 |
| don't really see this happening since all you have to do is look at the upcoming section here on MAL 4 times a year so know if something related to what you have seen before or plan to is being released |
 |
| Checking the upcoming section is one thing. Actually remembering to watch them is another. I know I'm definitely not organized enough to keep up with everything without reminders. |
| Organizing in google doc (spreadsheet) or google calendar would be an idea to remind yourself when needed to. |
I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
| I think we had something like this way back when but it broke... am I making that up? We had notifications for something... Anyway, I just constantly refresh TT/nyaa. Using RSS would probably be more efficient, but I like refreshing TT... I also check this site for anime air dates and times. |
| I know that there are other ways to see what is coming... Even though, it would be very nice to have these notifications. |
| Hi, Recently I've been talking with a friend about an anime I watched long time ago, and he told me that a sequel is now airing, which I didn't know about. After looking through about half of my anime list I found many new OVAs/sequels/side stories. So I thought it would be nice to receive a notification when a new related anime/manga to one in your list is coming out, so you're not staying behind. It could also cover changes on entries, like when new episodes/chapters are out, or when changing status from 'not yet aired' to 'airing'. |
| For the time being, keep an eye on the News Forum Section, as well as regularly check this club out. Knowledge indeed is power when it comes to anime series. :) |

Knowledge indeed is power when it comes to anime series. :) Who I had in mind are people that watch/read series and forget about them quickly, so looking by title isn't an option and it's a pain to look though a list of 500 entries to check for any new series related to them. |
| I use the 'Suggestions' tab of MALGraph which shows every anime related to what you've already seen, but id love if MAL notified me with these |
 |
| You've seen less than 200 series overall. It's kind of hard to imagine for you not to remember the titles. Perhaps checking the titles out in the database once per year would be a good reminder. |
Subpyro said: You've seen less than 200 series overall. I am not talking about myself only. I think many other people would find this feature as useful as I could. Subpyro said: It's kind of hard to imagine for you not to remember the titles. I really have bad memory for titles, names and such. Also, that '200' keeps growing over time ;) |
| It would be great if we were notified when an anime on our completed list received a sequel, OVA, movie, etc. I was completely shocked to see that Noragami was confirmed for a second season and it would've been nice to have a little heads up. |

 |
| I'm all for this! We're too lazy to find out ourselves. Only joking, but seriously a notification would be nice. |
My signature was removed, so I decided to change it. |
| For now you can go to http://graph.anime.sc, enter you nickname and go to the "Recommended" section. |

vodall said: As long as we're given the option to disable it, sure. I don't want to be notified every time that a mediocrite gets another season. Yeah or the other way around, opt in after finishing a show whether or not to track for potential sequels. Good idea. |
 |
| Hm im not opposed to it. Should be something that you tick on and off though because sometimes someone may watch a series for one season then not want to see more. |
| Bumping this thread since MAL's been making some changes clearly and everyone for the most part seems to be on board with this idea. |

| Since MAL has added Seasonal Anime, you don't have a reason to not be lazy now. You can just look when you're logged in. :P Doesn't MAL post news of this stuff too? Is this not enough? |

Cnon said: Nope I don't even check news as much I don't either but I see it on the homepage. I'll read it if it's interesting. I've seen news about confirmed sequels so I assumed other members read those. :P |

| I think it would be great to have a system like this on MAL, and it wouldn't be hard to code, I actually think it would be a fairly easy thing to do. My suggestion is a system which would show a notification for anime that you've watched and has got new entries. Example: You've watched One Piece and there's a new entry related to it that you haven't watched, you'd receive a notification about that. I think it would be a pretty good system since people aren't always aware of which anime is getting a new sequel, special, or whatever. For example, I stopped watching anime for 5 months and when I got back I wasn't aware that there were new entries related to some anime that I had watched in the past, and seeing one by one is a really tiring task for someone who has a 300+ anime watched. It would be something really really useful for this community. Give your thoughts on my suggestion. Thanks. |
| I support this |

So for the meantime just keep on eye on MAL News every week or twice a month. |

| Would be nice. I hate to suggest using a third party for this, but MALGraph is really good at tracking these things in the Recommmended section. For example, http://graph.anime.plus/Syrup-/recommendations,anime If you scroll down past the top recommendations for me, there's a list of stuff in the same franchise as stuff I've watched that I still need to watch. This is good for OVAs, but it's helped me notice things that I missed the announcement for. |

I've been using MALgraph for a long time but seems like there are a few things I didn't know about it... Maybe it's a new feature from this current version of MALgraph, I find it strange that I had never seen it before. But there's still a problem, it only shows, most of the time, unaired anime, I have a lot of "related entries" in my plan to watch list and MALgraph puts then in the "You've watched this..." category, which is kind of a disappointment, not really what I need :/ Thank you anyways. Still, it would be much better to have this in MAL, it actually isn't something hard to code so why not. |

I do know some stuff about programming, I do not know any web-programming languages so even if I wanted to create a website I'd only know how to do very basic stuff, but what I suggested is considered "basic" to someone who created a website this big, with this much functionalities, implementing it would just be investing a few hours on the website. I'm not saying the creator must implement this functionality, but it would be really useful for the entire community. Don't come hating if you aren't interested in sharing your opinions on my suggestion, don't you know how to read? This is a section for suggestions/opinions about suggestions, not the General Discussion section. Just gtfo. |
b1GZZ said: what I suggested is considered "basic" to someone who created a website this big, with this much functionalities, implementing it would just be investing a few hours on the website. Even for a site this big I still don't think it'd take just few hours Besides, simply implementing may not even be the main issue. Performance issues have been a reason for bringing down multiple features that were already implemented: club mass messages, entire list deletion, signatures auto-updates, tag clouds, search (it currently only shows the last 50 results), statistics page just to name a few |

| It's true that it'd affect performance though, a good server would be needed which I have no idea if MAL as a good enough one already or not. That'd be probably the main problem, yeah. |
