I like the idea, although very rarely the picture choice bothers me.

The ridiculous inconsistency of using japanese/english titles bothers me far more, that's where I would like the choice the most

I like this idea as well, not happy with some default pictures.

This is a great idea
If they implement it, I can finally change that awful picture of gilbert from pandora hearts
Some characters have terrible default pictures here but if you compare it to the ones on anime planet (they're trash tier), they look good.

Agreed with this idea.

I want to change some of my favorite anime's pictures if possible.

What I'm referencing to is that in the " Favorite Characters " section in your profile, next to the name it will automatically display an avatar which is the same as the info page for the character. What I was thinking is that maybe we could upload a photo of the character, or at least have a couple pictures to choose from, cause some of the avatar' are just tragic.

There are some characters like
https://myanimelist.net/character/274/Tenchi_Masaki
Tenchi who have for some reason the picture which he is least iconic in... I mean why?

And then you have stuff like

https://myanimelist.net/character/1261/Kaworu_Nagisa?q=kaworu
Who is very different in every iteration of the series and it would be great if you could specify which one you like, same with Every evangelion character. I think most people would say they love the Kaworu from 3.0.


I often wish I could just say I love the manga version of Shinji Ikari, but I can't. And I am stuck with anime Shinji. And what if you want to say how much you love Gendo in Shinji Ikari Raising Project? Well there is no way to do that.

And as a fan of the manga for Banana Fish, I am super offended that the pictures have been changed from the manga counterparts and the series isn't even out.


I don't think it is just about the picture for me. It is also about what series MAL default says they are from.

Personally, I believe the best pictures to be default ones are those that are most recent ones, be it from latest anime, or official art, or whatever.

That being said, since there are people who will prefer older pictures, I think it would be nice if there was an option for everyone choose for themselves what default picture they want.

When you favorite a show/manga/character, you are able to choose what cover picture you want, for example, a picture of a character from the anime, or a picture of them from the manga, available in the "Pictures" tab on pages.

Personally want this, because some of the cover art for some of my favorites, are available, but not default.

don't know if this is a good idea or not so lemme know what you think

I am all for it. Just look at kaguya sama characters, that anime is a big hit and MAL still uses manga pictures for characters like kaguya, ishigami or hayasaka.

I feel the same way, great idea. I feel like some pictures don't do the characters/people justice while others on their profiles look amazing.

I really think this is a good idea.

Kitarou's picture has changed and he's an entirely different character from his first incarnation, so it'd be nice if i could specify which version of him is my favourite by using the correlating image. Granted, they removed the other pic of him...

Mostly for favorite characters, because sometimes the picture is just a random screenshot of the anime and in the picture section you have a lot more cooler images like some colored pic from the manga or from cover pages.

For manga and anime this may not work out because people won't recognize the show at first look but at least have it as an option.

This has been suggested before and i really agree with it. I'd like to change the pic for a couple of my fave characters. Guts, Phos and especially Kitaro, since the pic being used isn't the version of Kitaro that's my favourite, they might as well be separate characters. They actually removed the pic of him that i liked the most.

Just want to point out that better pictures are more likely to make someone interested in the series a character belongs to. Also,

That's weird because for some reason low quality pictures are often preferred by the mods.
