| we all know that this is a very controversial topic. I personally use both MAL and Anilist to track anime and manga. Which do you guys think is more convenient and why? Biases aside. |
 ☆ |
| I only make here in mal this is my first and only animelist, idk if i'll be using other website i have 560 entries ... Lol |
 |
| The one that has hentai in it. Anilist doesn't, MAL takes the win. |
 |
| MAL because Anilist forums are almost dead and I don't like Anilist's design though most like it because its smooth or some shit |
 I said keep your hands on the table |
| People complain that mal looks like it's from 2003 but I actually find it very convenient. Everything is very easily reachable from the home page and I'm not into fancy web design. As for the forums, I don't know. I only evaluated anilist's UI on my brief visit there. |

| I do like certain aspects about Anilist like extended favorites and I can use decimals when scoring shows but overall MAL has more going for it imo. |

| This topic is too old. At least you could make a poll. Anilist doesn't have many important options which MAL has. On the other hand I didn't notice anything Anilist has while MAL doesn't. Yeah it has different scoring systems like decimals, percents, 5-score. But it's not that important. Man, I always laugh how they even have emoji rating system for a "special" kind of people. Forums there almost don't exist. Absolutely dead. Users and their posts there are even cringier than here on MAL. |
 |
| It is obvious only MyAnimeList. It is better than anilist. |
 ◽◽◽ ᓚᘏᗢ ◽◽◽ Having lived through trauma and mind-fucking, I'm accustomed to it now. |
| I do not like anilist's list and forum designs. I find the cover image popups annoying. I like MAL's classic list layout. Anilist's forum is like IMVU's new forum. It's so hard to use, it's like a game developer's FAQ page |
  . |
| MAL's ultimate saving grace is its history |
 |
| I like MAL's deisgn. It's nice and simple, AniList look too modern, if that makes sense. MAL seems more popular too. |

It's like a gigantic Twitter feed and the forum design is terrible. MAL is nice and simple. |

| you're asking this under the MAL website, obviously MAL is the majority. back to the question, my answer is MAL. I just, don't really like Anilist |
 |
| I think the fact that we are here simply gives MAL a win Also Anilist doesn't have Hentai |
 |
| mal for sure. mal is old school, easier and has a better community. apart from that, mal has a better database. on ani you cant add hentai or short ovas. |
 |
| I will choose anilist coz i like to be opposite when already known which one the winner is |
 |
| Myanimelist is more fun and better than anilist |
 |
| I really don't see any advantages of Anilist compared to MAL expect decimal scores which I don't really need since I write the real score in tags. I don't like Anilist design and it's harder to navigate. |
| Anilist has decimal scoring and I like the social aspects of having a feed. The forums are hot garbage, they're almost dead and the mods are obnoxious. Mal has its problems but It's simply better because it's been around for longer, with a larger database and much more active forums. |
| Both r good but if u wanna see wannabe critics shitting on shows u only get to see it here |
| Shinzou Sasageyo!!! |

| AniList got modern web design so i prefer that but im still here on MAL because of the much higher forum activity and lol at people saying they have 500+ anime list it does not matter since you can export your MAL lists to AniList anyway |
| I have both MyAnimeList and Anilist accounts, but i just go with MAL because it's one i use everyday. I only update my anime/manga list Anilist when i want to open it. |
  I play BanG Dream! Girls Band Party Garupa EN ID: 10759829 Garupa JP ID: 36753163 |
| I mostly use MyAnimeList for forums and reviews! I don't use Anilist pretty much as I only used it for extending my favorites to have more than 10 favorites (20 for Supporters)! |

| anilist just feels duhmehheh, u can like activities and it has dark mode though |
  |
| I use both, but mainly MyAnimeList. |
| I have accounts on both sites but I vastly prefer the ui on mal |
 _______I like rocks__  |
| Quote from something I said on Reddit- Anilist is a really nice compliment to MAL personally, especially for seasonals. I use both, which makes updating episodes a bit more work, but it's kinda worth it imo since then I have the best of both worlds. I like Anilist's design and features more than MAL (besides the custom list which is better here), and it's also better for tracking seasonals imo (Anichart is also nice), but MAL is much more well designed for forums, discussions, clubs and news. The comment section on Anilist isn't the best design wise. |
 |
| Anilist is worse because it’s missing popular titles such as Boku no Pico. |

| When you ask this on MAL, you should know what to expect and of course I prefer MAL. Lubba_ said: AniList has much more doujins than MAL though.

| anilist database is pathetic they are copying Mal database in everything they should make their own database like other websites |
| Every other anime database is a clone of MAL and doesn't maintain the same level of entry upkeep. |
| I used anilist before I switched to MAL and I gotta say, I prefer MAL by a long shot. I do like the design of anilist better tho and it allows you to add manhwa and manhua on your list, but in terms of forum activity MAL definitely takes the cake. |
