| Pretty simple suggestion: I don't care about the change in favorites, but please let all 10 fit on the page. I have to scroll right just to reveal 2 more favorites lmfao. |

| True, I like the old favorites list better since it's minimalistic |
 I hope no one I know irl sees my secret account~ Anyways, do I look cute in this outfit?~ |
| I prefer the old design. Now my list looks so empty lol. |
  |
| new format is terrible. I hate it. |
 |
| i think most can agree that this wasn't a good change |
|
| The new format is horrible lol I hate it you cant even see all your favorites why would they do this.... Id be fine with it if you could see all them but id rather the old design tbh |
 |
| Yeah, MAL, do better pls The current one takes 2-3 clicks to show everything instead of just 1 click |

| Give us the old style back, Mal. Or at least change it to be something more visually pleasing. |
 |
| The new design is awful |

| it's comically bad; the prompt to navigate through the items takes far too long to appear, takes far too long to move location, and only works for only one row at a time. |
| new format is terrible mal is become like youtube with its shitty updates |

It also removes the ability to go to an anime or manga page straight from the character list. Now you can only click to go to the character's page. It's all the little things that make this update awful. |

| Thanks MAL, I hate it |
| Agreed, this format looks pretty bad. I hope they won’t also change it for mobile. |

| I liked being able to see the top 5 in all four categories at once, like a quick summary of a user's tastes. Now I can only see the top 8 in two categories. Have to click to even see Characters and People. It's clunky and not fun to organize anymore; I kind of care less about using the feature now. Also, one of the benefits of being a MAL supporter is having 20 favorite slots, but now if someone has 20 of each category, they have to click nine times to see them all, whereas before they had to click once. It dulls the value of being a Supporter, and makes me question the value of my subscription. |

This is a big factor for me too, really going to reconsider going for another year if this isn't reverted/ toggle-able. |
| Yeah, this new format is awful, inconvenient and looks bad. I wish they made an option to switch to the old layout. |
 |
| Nope. Nah ah. Not a fan. I'm not crazy about this. I do not find this attractive. The old design wasn't broken, so I don't see why it should have been "fixed." |
 |
| lowkey agree with everyone on this. the new style does look awful /sweats/ |
 |
| I don't like the new favorites design, either. Now, I have to scroll down even more to see everything. It's a bottleneck. |
 |
| If it's not broken, why fix it? |
| they should just make it scroll down again, so it would open up like it did before, but with the new images |
| Agree with literally everyone in this thread. I geniunely can't imagine why they would make a change like this when the orignal format was already fine. |
    beep boop bop pow |
| @luna @kineta Posted on the CD thread: https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=1976272 SemillaMinoria said: Interesting. My thoughts: 🤔 🧐 💭 Pros - It looks better - It works amazing on mobile and it’s just a quick swipe to see the rest of the favourites Cons - It’s awful on desktop because you can’t swipe with your track pad you must click which is tedious and jarring already after just the very first time doing it 🤦♂️ Suggestions for improvement - Make it automatically scroll along favourites @hacker09 what do you think? Can something be done or suggested? |
| The new design is great I personally love that it doesnt fit 10 cuz personally I have a very uneven number of favourites. I can understand how some people would want 10 to fit but if you are going to change it back, please let me choose the version I prefer. |
 |
| Ehh. I'm not a big fan of this new design. :C |
 |
| The worst part of the new update is the horizontal placement for me. The vertical placement created a sense of hierarchy but now it seems that I like my favorites equally. Seriously, what is the point of having a MAL supporter subscription now? |

| Has the outcry been noticed by mods yet? |
|
| It looks ugly comparing to the old setting. When the pictures are small, they look pretty neat even under low resolutions. Now that these low resolution pictures become larger and look horribly blurry (yes I'm talking about the Jojo manga covers) Plus it's annoying that you'll have to press the arrow to see the user's favorite characters and people, and it feels strange that you'll have to press the right arrow to see the 9th and 10th items. I wish that they at least let us switch to the older setting just like what they do in anime/manga list. |
| The crazy thing about this to me is that I've literally NEVER seen anyone complain about how favorites were laid out. Not a single person. So what was the reason for this exactly? We don't want this. |

We don't want this. Apparently they want to add some new kinds of favourites (OPs/EDs, maybe? idk). They announced it on twitter and discord, but of course not on MAL - I mean, who even cares about MAL, right? :P |
|
| No one asked for this design change lol I don't mind it that much but I prefer the old design |
 |
| To be honest i doubt they will listen to the overwhelming negative feedback and change the design back, but i hope they at least implement what OP is suggesting and make 10 favorites fit on page. |
| AnimeThemes.moe <- the largest collection of anime Openings & Endings on the Web AnimeMusicQuiz.com <- guess an anime from your list by it's Opening/Ending music browser game |
| so many topics about the change in favorites. At last I don't care much but it would be much better if we wouldn't have to scroll to see 10 (or 20) favorites |
| Please change it back. It was perfectly fine as it was and now more clicks are needed to see the same amount of information we used to be able to see at a quick glance. EDIT: Also, is there a way to re-order the list? One Piece in both manga and anime for me are hidden and I want them in the #1 slot. |
 |
| I can't see all my favorites at once like before and even after using the arrows I can't see all my favorites on my screen. Please, I want the old design back !!! EDIT : What about the people who paid to have 20 favorites on their screen? They won't want to pay anymore |
  |
| I don't like this new favorites interface. Whatever they are smoking behind the scenes, I want some of that. I also wanna fuck some shit up and pretend I did a good thing. |
