I hope this is not forbidden by the rules of this forum.

I am interesting to buy an Anime Database in order to use it in a site ( without videos, only the anime db, like this one that myAnimeList is using).

Do you know where i can find this database?

Thank you

You're better off messaging Xinil and see if it's possible to negotiate a deal.

I'm curious as to how much he's willing to pay for a copy of the DB. XD

This. You could make a crawler in AutoHotKey that'll gather all info and sort it out for you. If you got more time on your hands, you could learn C# or C++ to make it more sophisticated.

Well, for now MAL is doing the same, but that'll change. There's a project going on with diehards that want to rewrite all information on MAL.

If you're asking for MAL's DB, you're better off asking Xinil personally in a PM.
Also, if you're stealing stuff from other sites, make sure you give proper credit. :3

As I'm assuming this was mostly a MAL question, it's off to support........

Seriously?

Wouldn't that take a lot of time?
