| I like keeping track of things, so I thought it would be neat to keep track of anime and find other recommendations. But lately I've been so busy that I haven't really had time to watch anime. |
guulaash said: niiiku said: ......Tbh? My friend told me to join since I wanted to "learn" more about anime and get back into it. I actually used to be pretty obsessed with anime back when I was around 15 I think, but then I found kpop and kdramas and that just got me off anime ._. bohoo.. I also needed friends that share the same interests as I do and she told me this website would be great for it so here I am... ﾍ(=￣∇￣)ﾉ its not like i gave u an order u had to follow XD WELL I DID OK NOW SHUT UP........... |

| When I joined MAL in 2014, I joined to have episode discussions on current seasonal animes that were very hyped, like: Nagi No Asukara, Glasslip, Aldnoah Zero, D-Frag, Fate UBW, One Week Friends, and some other romance animes. 2014 was a very fun year in anime and I wanted to be a part of the episode discussions. From 2015 to present, very few current seasonal animes have I kept up in the forums. |

| I was a member of one of the most dysfunctional websites I have ever seen, the now defunct A4 forum. Yet, some members had links to their MAL list, so I was curious and checked out this site. When I became frustrated with A4, I decided to join MAL, make and make a list, and use the forum. The main reason though, is that I can log in using my Google account! |
| basically to organize my stuff. its funny when i made my account i only had the interest to watch like 10 shows or something and now its like 100. before MAL i only cared about attack on titan and shit like that lul i had no idea how huge the anime community was |
| To keep a track of my anime and keeping up the latest news |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| The short answer: to make friends. And I have made quite a few, so all good. |
| I couldn't remember what episode I was on, so I found a site that kept track of everything. |
| To keep track of my anime watching habits. |
| To determine how far is my journey and seek for ultimate anime and manga. |
 |
| To post here and spread the good word of ikaros |

| I joined for the listing function and to have discussions with people who also enjoy anime. |
 |
| A friend of mine from another site had an account on MAL. Also the listing feature for keeping track of things. |
 |
| After getting into anime for the first time a year ago at 25, I heard of it from /a/ and found it to be a good place to backlog/keep track of what I watch. Then I discovered the forums. |
  |
| I like to keep things listed and organized so I joined MAL. It keeps me on track of the anime that I watch. Also the community's good. Lots of nice people. |
 |
| Because I came to realize that MAL is currently the most popular site of this kind, so I should have an account here as well. I primarily exist in Anime Planet, and also I have an account in aniDb which I don't really use because that site is difficult to maintain anime list in, though the shitloads of tags are sometimes very useful if I want to find anime with specific something in it. |
| Because I needed a site to keep track of what anime/manga episode/chapter I was on. At first I was writing them down in a notepad document but this site is way easier. |
| I was really big into MLP (still am, but not to the same xtent) but one of my friends was leaving that fandom and was becoming more interested in anime. I came here to continue talking, and to use this as a way to record everything I've watched because I lost the word document I had been using. |

| because a classmate who was first into manga & anime was using it, i decided too. i found it really useful and fun to have a summary of what i watch, mal definitely does the job. |
| to talk abt how great hxh is and list. |
| I wanted something like last.fm to keep track of all the anime I had watched. Hummingbird/kitsu and MAL did that, plus I got to see how many days I had wasted watching weeb shit. ;P |
| Randomly found it and since I'm a completionist and also like everything organized, it's nice to have everything all in one place like MAL's list Also interesting people on the forums |
| To interact with socially awkward niggas |
| I joined mal because read my profile |
| It was the first site that came up on google, but I didnt care about it then. It caught my attention when i found anime here that i didnt find on wiki ( i know i was lame ) After looking at i carefully, it looked nice. It wasn't dead and it was easy to understand. After a while I started having fun in the clubs and also found a new hobby lol |
 set by secret santa ; thank you! ily ♥️ |
| To make a list... of anime ... of mine |
 |
| To catalog my anime and manga lists. But MAL is really useful tbh. I could search anime like based on rating, based on popularity, even from some reviews. And |
 |
| To record what I've watched, and so I can use MAL more comfortably when searching anime up and understand the site better. To join the anime community too, I guess. |
 |
| My main reason to join MAL was that it was easier to keep track of what i was currently watching and what episode i was on. |
| Keep a track of what I watch/Talk about anime |
 |
| Was mainly looking for a place to discuss the Berserk manga. I remember there was once a forum for it called TheBlackSwordsman, but it seems to have vanished... |
| Found out about it when I was browsing a Reddit thread about FMA. People were linking their profiles, I was curious, looked it up. Since I'm new, thought it would be a good way to learn about new stuff and keep an organized list because I have a horrible memory. TLDR-YOLOd my way here via Reddit. |
