Too many colours for the list stats. Needs more blue.

And better fonts.

The thing is, people have been saying when will we update MAL things. And as soon as they do, the fucking nostalgia effect kicks in and people start saying "BUT MUH SIMPLE DESIGNS". It's still simple. It gives you information on the screen. The information is distinguishable. You don't have to search around a profile to find something. All the important stuff are now front and center, instead of arbitrarily off to a left sided column. Now the left column has lesser meaningful things like outside links, posts, statuses. Etc. The point of profiles is to summarize your anime/manga lists after all. Its called My Anime List for a reason. It's about your lists and the stats that come from them. That's why lists have more customization to them. Because they are what the site is founded on.

The about me should be moved. No question about that. And the bars are stupid, and have always been stupid. They show nothing. It's like the retarded statistic bar graphs in school that you randomly shotgunned to "show your work" on a math test lol.

But other then that. Everything is better. It looks more clean. Things need to be re-positioned of course, but everything else just looks a lot more user friendly.

The people complaining whole hardheartedly seem to forget they aren't the majority of MAL. Most MAL users just use the site for their list. And this is much more friendly to that majority.

Yeah, but it's a bit too flashy.
Furthermore, the anime, manga, characters and people's pics are way too big.

Which is meaningless since you can only see 5 of them without pressing the drop down. I honestly think it'll look better if it was shown sideways without text to be honest. Text can show when highlighted.

The hell, why add colors? The arrangement sucks

You have to scroll down when ur favorites is more than 5?

People can now view your friends. Now people will see that even on MAL I'm friendless.

Why add a "progression bar"? it looks ugly.

diiiiislike! The old one is better, more organized and not a pain to look at, the colors ugh.

I voted "no", primarily because I am just not used to it, and also that the new way of laying out the profile (putting self-introduction section first) makes my profile looks bad due to the lack of picture on it.

wow okay a giant surprise, l honestly thought this was a joke.

the about me section being the first thing you see is weird but its nice. l think.
l like the anime/manga statistics but the colors are horrible.
the favorites lists in honestly the worst thing, its so big and its right there. its just ugly.
having 10 favorites is not a big deal, you have to click on the arrow to see all of them which most people wont even bother.
not being able to see how many comments l have in total is a disaster. bring it back.

it looks really messy, its like my eyes are trying to see everything at once but l can't because everything is so just pressed together.
definitely needs some time to get used too

I don't like the 'progress bar' on my recent updates and the unironic statistic bar of things that I watched / read. Also, why didn't they add table bbcode to make layouts easier? :/

Everyone sounds like a bunch conservative 70 year olds trapped inside a 12 year olds body.

I've been using the old layout for 6 years and yeah, it's going to take some time getting used to the new one, but it's not like anything drastically changed. The same features are still there, they just look different.

This is going way too far, honestly MAL is the only site I can use for my updates because it's the most organized. They've been doing nothing but add useful features to this site, especially lately.

I agree the profile pages look worse now but on other terms, this site has been doing great.
