Sometimes, if they somewhat pique my interest for any reasons.

I check people's lists out of curiosity every once in a while. If their compatibility with me is less than 60-65% I sometimes show their list to my friends and we shake our heads in disappointment at their bad choices in cartoons and pray they find enlightenment in the future.

This just depends in whether you have better things to do or not, just don't turn it into a daily basis

In fact I'm more excited to find a 15-25% compatibility than 85%+ like you since the former is way harder to find!

I'm always checking on people's lists if they're my friends or I'm interested in them. It's important.

I'll only really check them out if I see someone who has high compatibility with me, or if I see that we have watched a lot of similar anime.

Only if they're asking for recommendations. Aside from that, pretty much never. I couldn't care less about your scores or how big your list is. Also people who use list styles that take unnecessarily long to load, I dont even look at, I just go straight to the Shared List.

Mainly just for people I talk to. I guess I'll sometimes skim the list of random people that catch my eye in some way (with something they say), but I'm less likely to pay attention to all the scores/comments.

It's usually if I'm playing a forum game like, "which anime is the most underated/overrated" for example.

Sometimes I just do it for fun.

I do check other people's manga lists to find some completly scanlated manga to read.

I don't bother checking out anime lists, thought. Unless it's for a recommendation.

Sometimes I do it when they have an avatar with a character from a show I really like.

Sometimes I do it when some dickhead makes a really bold, stupid statement and I want to know just how seriously I should take their opinion on the subject before I formulate a response (Or work out whether it's even worth responding to them at all).

Sometimes when I feel like the user might have something interesting in their list :3 I mostly try to deduce that from their top 5 and the general profile. Also it's just nice to see what others have been watching + what they enjoy.

That sounds cool but only a small majority bother to write reviews, and even if they do , it's usually just few shows you can see their opinion on.


Yeah, I rarely ever see anyone with even a single review up on their profile. I tried dabbling in reviewing myself somewhat, but I'm pretty shit at it to be honest, so I've seen stopped bothering to write anything.

If someone wants to know my opinion on a show, I have no problem giving them a "mini review" of my thoughts if they ask me though. Doesn't happen that often however.

I'd use tags, but after completing so many shows and having never used tags before, I'd be too lazy to write my thoughts for all 260+ shows/movies I've seen so far.


That's a bummer. I always enjoy a good review that goes in-depth into what the person like/didn't like. You'll never know when you'll find a review that will show you something new.

I'm one of those with a empty review page and that's mostly because I rather experience it myself rather then read reviews from ppl and decide if i'm going for that anime or not, I usually follow my intuition / genre of the said anime.

I don't get this line of thinking. Reviewers 'don't do the thinking for you'. They're just there to share their opinion and why they think so. Read them to learn more about the medium, what works for others and what's not.

Here you are, responding to my comment. That means you care what another person think, which is great. Reviewers just explain their opinion in more detail.

Sometimes I click on people's profiles when I'm browsing the forum, and look at their list.

This happens more often if they say they agree/disagree strongly with my opinion


This, more or less. This could sound weird, but I also watch the profile of other people if I like their avatar/signature. If I see that the person is a funny or cool guy, I also checks his/her profile/list to see his/her tastes.

Everyonce and awhile I check people's lists to see if they have anything they rated high that I haven't watched or heard of.

Good way to add more anime to my PTW ^^

What a sad world we live in where it's weird to be interested in meeting new people.

Get social, everyone!

maybe if they ask for recommendations, and i'm bored enough to help them somewhat.
You can buy lossless digital music from your favorite Japanese artists on https://ototoy.jp/.
The songs are all DRM-free and you can re-download your purchased albums as you wish.
Show your support to your favorite artist if you can!
ps. if you are looking for Japanese albums, you have to search it in Japanese (not romaji). Just copy and paste the name.

Wow you have very high anime compatibility with me.

Jessica said:
if it's someone who I think has similar taste to me or who's taste in anime I trust I might look at their list when thinking of an anime to watch or add to my PTW.
besides that it's a bit random, whenever I'm curious I guess.


Then I scroll down you have extremely high compatibility with less anime tho.

I rarely check lists but I am interested in finding the one who has the highest compatibility with me.

Only check the lists of my friends. On the other hand you can always find series to watch at recommendations or internet/MAL :P
So why check anime lists? Except if it's a otamega or yourself watched everything that you can find lel.

Update: Forgot to mention, but I do check people's favourite anime series.
