| It would be really cool to have a reminder saying that "Hey, [this show] on your [whichever] list is going to start airing tomorrow/has a new episode today." through an email or even to your Inbox here. I don't know if that's been suggested or not, but I thought it'd be cool. |

| unless you can turn it off i would fine this very annoying myself.i have used a site that does that when you added anime to your list and it just never stops..i haven't used the site in many years and i still get email notifications from them ><. if you could turn it off it could be okay but in my opinion after watching a series should just know what day to look for episodes anyway. |

| to minmize server it could just notify us that the status of an anime on our list changed e.g. not aired->airing for those in the plan to watch list or airing-> finished airing for those on hold list etc. that way we would only receive 1-2 notifications per series |

ThatGuyYeah said: Yeah! Not the episode thing, but the "started airing" idea. I think a notification for a new episode topic would be better than using the airing schedule due to irregular airing schedules, slow subs, and earthquakes.Woah, so MAL made my dreams come true :^) |

Though MAL hates having choices when it comes to stuff. |

If we included PTW it would get annoying for people who binge seasonals after they air, but on-hold would be good to include for slow-airing specials/OVAs/ONAs and anime movies.zombie_pegasus said: Yeah!

Fuseteam said: If an anime you're watching is available on Crunchyroll and on MAL by proxy (Crunchyroll episodes are streamable on MAL), then it could give you a notification for that. It doesn't seem like you have the best English knowledge, so I'll try to explain my idea. On MAL when a new episode of an anime airs users are allowed to create a discussion topic about that episode. MAL also tracks at which time the anime airs in Japan, but they don't convert this time and instead treat it like it airs at that time in the user's timezone (eg. 18:00 JST - 18:00 EST even though it should be 05:00 EST). In this case if the anime has been already been subtitled into English in less than 12.5 hours then the user will be notified that the episode has "started airing" after they had access to the episode, so they may have already watched it by then. Episode discussions may be created once the episode becomes available so it takes away this problem. Another problem is that some anime like Chi's Sweet Home and Flowering Heart air more than one episode per week, which isn't something MAL tracks. There are also series of specials like the Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun Specials and the No Game No Life Specials that aired 6 episodes, one per month, which also isn't something MAL tracks. In both of these cases MAL will still allow users to make episode discussions when the episodes become available. There are also some disturbances in airing schedules such as earthquakes, sporting events, and major production issues which may cause episode delays which shift the remaining episodes to be aired one week after they were originally planned to be aired. If an episode hasn't aired that week then no new episode discussions will be allowed (unless they are just late due to lack of a fanbase for that anime). There are also anime that don't get translated until well after they finish airing and a new episode discussion on an anime like that would indicate that the anime is translated.zombie_pegasus said: I think having a little on/off button for watching and on-hold entries.

Linglol said: Nope, afaik the anime should be in your database i.e "list" so that you get notification. How will the sv know that you want notifs for x anime when it's not on your list?Is there a option to get notification on a new season/ova without having to select plan to watch first? |
 I don't know why people write that they are approachable persons, if you were you wouldn't be on MAL. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Extended families or lovers on MAL are a farce. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| As long as you can turn it off I think it would be a great feature, after about 3 weeks I remember each day each anime I'm watching airs though. Before then I just put them on a virtual sticky note on my desktop. |
| Thread locked This is now a feature with the notification system. If you have something on your Plan to watch and it starts airing, you will receive a notification. |
