Links I frequent or find helpful collated in one page for easier access.

I wanted just 1 page with all these links but I had to split this up to 2 parts because of character limit. It would’ve been ideal to have everything in one page.

AniDB | Advanced Search
Anime-Planet: Webtoon database | Light novel database | Stats
- When choosing which anime DB to get into I actually considered either MAL or AP, I went with MAL but AP really looks enticing. Their manga DB seems larger. They have custom lists and favorites are not limited! Plus, you can watch some episodes not just PVs, CMs or trailers as well as read some free chapters. I might make an AP account as a backup for MAL but I’m not keen on maintaining accounts on multiple DBs.

Anime-Planet - Browse characters (217k) | Top loved characters | Top hated characters | Character tags
- How I wish MAL’s characters DB is as extensive as AP’s. And not to mention those tags (Character Tags)! I wanna list all those tags in one place, like compress 37 pages into one.
- MAL should honestly implement tags. The Anime & Manga News and Featured Articles already use tags: News > Tag and Featured > Tag

AniList Search Characters (118k) | Characters Birthdays | Most Favorited Characters
- They show ‘Characters Birthdays’ which is neat.

Personality Database
- MBTI, Enneagram and more!
- I wish character pages in MAL also have links redirecting to character personality pages in PDB similar to those Fandom Wiki links on external links in anime pages.

- I prefer MAL’s people DB over AL’s because people pages have more info on the side bar like external links. There’re also the recent news and recent featured articles sections. Plus, you can comment although only the latest 10 comments are displayed and no way to view old comments. I also like how the voice acting roles, anime staff positions and published manga are listed but I wish we also have the tile view, seasonal view and list view options similar to company pages.

AniList Recommendations
- MAL should have an upvote and downvote for better recommendations.

*Contemplating whether to make an account on any of these sites.
- So I finally decided to create accounts on both AniList and Anime-Planet for backup.

*These sites are super helpful. It’d be awesome if they somehow merge into one.

*Neat! Links to MAL page of the anime as well as album/track and artist pages on Spotify. Also, identifies which OP or ED the song is. It’s like Related Anime but for anime music. It’d be so nice if chiaki.site, Related Anime and Anime Music could combine into one site. Maybe there’s already a site like that but I have yet to find it.
*It’d be nice if it’s like Themes.moe, I mean if we can generate Spofity playlists using our MAL account.

Reading Ya̴σi on Renta!





Anime Shorts:
https://sean.fish/animeshorts/ by purplepinapples
- Nice and clean layout! Minimalist look but with all the links and general info you’ll need. This made finding shorts easier. I kinda wanna do a similar static site for my manga list with links to Pixiv, futekiya, Renta, mimosa, Chill-Chill, Twitter, MangaUpdates, YouTube and other official sites. But I ain’t really a techie so MyMangaList’s ‘More’/comments section will do for now; I’ve added links to official sites there. I might just use Google Sheets because I like how there’re overview for links when you hover over them.
- Update: I’ve been slowly moving my completed manga list to Notion so I don’t think I’ll be using Google Sheets. I like how I can add ANY LINKS in Notion compared to the ‘More’ section in MAL. But a static site similar to this one is what I really want my list to look like. Anyways, Notion is easy to use so I’ll utilize that. I also considered Obsidian but I’m not used to using markdown; Notion’s WYSIWYG markdown is much easier to use.

MAL Map | GitHub: https://github.com/platers/MAL-Map | Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/anime/comments/s3g2xs/i_made_a_interactive_map_of_anime_based_on_mal/

- Zoom in and out using +/-.

*Just remember the map is based on MAL’s user recommendations. Don’t expect too much. So better work on your recommendations, peeps!
*I’ll be waiting for a manga map.
*I hope this will be more intuitive later on and also catered to personal lists. Apparently, you can enter your username and see your completed anime highlighted and their relations dimmed. But you’d have to zoom in to view the titles and images. I wish they also listed the recommendations on the sidebar similar to MALmap.

MALmap | GitHub: https://github.com/igfod13/MALmap | MAL Thread: [WebApp] MALmap: Interactive Visualization of Anime/Manga Recommendations (and your List) [V1.1]

*Created by igfod13

For a map of anime: https://igfod13.github.io/MALmap/index.html
- Lists connections on the sidebar as well as several other info. The other map should also implement such features for easier navigation.
- Feels more intuitive.

Group 1 = Shoujo/josei romance
Group 2 = Accessible/mainstream action
Group 3 = Magical Girl / Mecha-musume
Group 4 = Battle Shounen
Group 5 = War and Disaster
Group 6 = Supernatural violence & gore
Group 7 = Drama / Romance / Tearjerker
Group 8 = Slice of Life / Comedy
Group 9 = Mystery & Mecha
Group 10 = Romance / Drama / Light Ecchi
Group 11 = Forbidden / Contentious Romance
Group 12 = Psychological & Philosophical (+Ghibli)
Group 13 = Heavy Ecchi / Harem
Group 14 = Prestigious yet Wacky
Group 15 = Time Travel
Group 16 = Parallel Worlds & Magic Schools
Group 17 = Sports
Group 18 = Shorts
Group 19 = Asian-setting Historical/Fantasy
Group 20 = BL
Group 21 = For Kids
*Genre category from: https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=1991420


For a map of manga: https://igfod13.github.io/MALmap/manga.html
- Cool!

Anime MALmap: Recommendation data was last updated from MyAnimeList.net on May 16, 2022.
Manga MALmap: Recommendation data was taken from MyAnimeList.net on May 06, 2022.
- I hope this gets updates. I kinda prefer this than the other map. Although, I like that you can input your username in the other map. We can now input our usernames.

*If you have suggestions don’t hesitate to comment on the thread ([WebApp] MALmap: Interactive Visualization of Anime/Manga Recommendations (and your List) [V1.1]). The developer noted my suggestions and made updates. For that, I like this map much more. I like that we can talk to the developer of the site here in MAL. The other map’s developer is on Reddit.

*I wish both maps could just combine.



Recommendations:

  • AniBrain
    - I posted my thoughts on AniBrain here: Infinite recommendations on www.anibrain.ai.

    - It also has the potential to be like https://relatedanime.com because it also shows a list of anime/manga included in a franchise. It might be better since relatedanime no longer shows images for some reason.

    *I might eventually make an account there if the developer fine-tunes it more close to my liking.

  • Spin.moe

  • Sprout
    I like the ‘Profile Stats + Analytics’. You can export the stats as CSV, PNG or JPG. But I don’t want to create an Imgur account just to post my stats here. Would be nice if I can just copy the image link of the stat and post here as an image.

https://ali60351.github.io/seiyuu-nostalgia/ | GitHub: https://github.com/Ali60351/seiyuu-nostalgia
- I thought this will provide links to social media sites of VAs or their other voice acting roles as well as some info and link to their page on MAL. I expected more or something like this: Seiyuu Comparison. This has light mode and dark mode, though. But I could just check on MAL’s DB and the VAs’ pages provide more info. Perhaps, this could be developed to do those things. For now, it’s just okay. Could be better.



Tier List:
Anime Tier List | GitHub: https://github.com/Qnnie/AnimeTierList
*Created by Qnnie. Thanks, btw!

CUSTOM RANKS ex: {ratings}SS,S,A,B,C,D,F,F,F,F{/ratings}
SS = 10 (MAL 10: Masterpiece)
S = 9 (MAL: 9 = Great)
A = 8 (MAL: 8 = Very Good)
B = 7 (MAL: 7 = Good)
C = 6 (MAL: 6 = Fine)
D = 5 (MAL: 5 = Average)
F = 4-1 (MAL: 4 = Bad, 3 = Very Bad, 2 = Horrible, 1 = Appalling)


- I wish the tier list image generates like that of MALSignature, no need to upload on an image hosting site for MAL use.

Should be implemented by MAL:
MAL Dubs:
https://github.com/MAL-Dubs/MAL-Dubs
- This will make it easier to tag which ones are dubbed and/or subbed.

https://github.com/davidluzgouveia/myanimelist-colorizer (also https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/424774-series-highlighter-mal)
- The colorizer will make navigating easier. But too much color may somewhat look messy.

BBCode Toolbar:
https://github.com/Eskander/myanimelist-bbcode-toolbar
- Honestly, this would be useful in the forum and blog.

*Haven’t used any of these since I’m not keen on installing anything but these look promising.
