This is so useful, Thanks!!!!

Even if helping people is easy,
asking for help is a hurdle of it's own.

Would love to see this feature for staff positions. Would make it much easier to find new anime from my favorite directors without having to sift through every single key animation contribution or single episode direction they made to singular episodes.

Any plans to add an english/romaji title toggle? This has been suggested for years.

Finally!, but i'm so used at typing "edit" in the browser's search bar to highlight the ones that i've seen that i will have to accustom myself again LOL
I've been doing the same for years lol

Love it! This is awesome. It would also be great if you could filter the seiyuu works to see in which ones he/she is a main or a supporting character as well.
I like this idea a lot too!

I thought this was a nifty idea so I wrote a quick userscript to test out this functionality. You can install it from this link: https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/432209-mal-filter-voice-acting-roles-by-main-supporting
You'll need to install a userscript manager such as Tampermonkey.

(It's only 36 source lines of code, so feel free to take a peek and check you can trust it.)
Wow, thanks lpf!!

Didn't know that this website still has updates. I thought it was dead already.

There is another minor bug: When voice actors are sorted alphabetically, Anime Character pages display "Alphabetical" along with the selected sort if it is different. It seems like these pages are erroneously applying the peopleCharacterSort value in addition to the animeCharacterSort.




Credit to @ShadyDeth for finding this.

This is such a great improvement and much appreciated. I hope that we can get this for other staff like creators, directors, etc down the road.

We've added a few sort and filter options to the following pages:
  • Characters tab on Anime and Manga
  • Voice Actor Roles section on People
These should allow you more easily see which characters are the most popular in a title or from a voice actor, hide alternative language VAs you don't wish to see, or only see character roles from anime in your list.

This functionality will be extended to the Anime Staff and Published Manga sections of People pages as well in the next few weeks!


Try it out!

OK since this Discussion is generally about Voice Actors, I want to talk about why you guys don't add Arabic Voice Actors cast, since you guys add "Portugal, English, Hebrew and Spanish" and other languages.
Why ignoring Arabic?? Racist towards Arabic anime community?????, if it's about the lack of information about the cast, you have "Anime Network News" literally they have everything they know about The cast team for the Arabic Dub, there's a lot of anime that has Arabic Dub , of course there's some that doesn't have any information about the cast, but there's others has enough information about the cast

I really like the new filter features, but there is a bug; when you filter by any language (or even when you deselect all languages), it still includes all the Portugese (BR) VA's:

Ah, guess that's why I can't see characters list on Characters page anymore, but still can see Stuff. Wow, great job, I really needed it. Not.
There is such thing as shit taste. Only idiots think that every "work of art" should have the same value.

Oil and nuclear are civilisation saviours. Deal with it.
