I was wondering... do any of you use other sites? Maybe stuff like AniList, Kitsu or Anime-Planet. I am curious if they offer anything different.

I mean, the moderation can't be worse than MAL. I have seen people get banned because they have an "opinion".

@deg I'm not familiar enough with either site to have an opinion, so I'm going to trust your judgment.

i don't. well, I don't even see any reason to tbh. maintaining multiple social media (that too just for anime) is a pain in the ass lol. i think i saw someone say that anilist or smth has decimal ratings, so that might be the only potential advantage i see. but again, doesnt matter.

Yes, I also use AniList and AniDB.

Which are the only other two that really exist...

I have an Anime-Planet account for some of its neat features, such as the love/hate character options — but that's about the extent of my interactions with it, outside of exporting my list there every few months.

@Mualani AniList is great and in some aspects even better than MAL. But their forum system is so bad that I rarely visit it.

I use wco.tv for streaming/downloading anime shows to watch. I use MAL for discussing anime. And other topics. I hope that answers the OP's question.

I use Anime-Planet quite often because it has by far the best character search and tagging system I know.

@Xypheron I honestly much prefer MyAnimeList's traditional-looking and straightforward layout. It's minimalist and outdated, but in a good way. I don't know how to describe it, AniList just isn't for me.

@Mualani I prefer AniList's layout( it feels more lively and their rating system is better). Of course, it is subjective, so that’s just my opinion.

I guess? I sometimes find an anime with a very low user count on MAL (Think 1000 or lower, even down to around 200), and want to decide if it's worth the effort of AI subtitling it, so I'll just go to what is effectively "Japan's MyAnimeList", aka Anikore. Yes it's 100% in Japanese, but due to exactly that, it tends to have better metrics for stuff that's super obscure here in the western part of the world. Hell, stuff that has zero info whatsoever here on MAL will often have multiple full-on reviews on Anikore, which ends up being very helpful for deciding if an anime's worth it. I just chuck a few of the reviews into ChatGPT or whatever to have it translated (DeepL and Google Translate suck at this), and I can get a very good idea of what an anime's like.
Opinions are opinions, and differing opinions can co-exist. 🙂 But I don't do debate, life's too short to spend time debating people.

I have a backup of my list on Anilist, although i wish their forums were a bit more active since they seem a bit more chill when it comes to people like me existing on the site

Yep, AniList, but I rarely ever go on it. I only log in a few times a year at most. My only reason for using it is to update my anime and manga list for backup.

Also, I’m not really a fan of AniList’s forum layout. I prefer MAL’s forum layout way more.

My total number of posts on the AniList forums so far: 1 lol
