| I think that including the hashtag for the anime would be nice. AniList has it, and when I'm posting a tweet on Twitter, I have to move from MAL to AniList (and since they don't share the same anime ids, I have to search on Google) and copy the hashtag there. |

| Another social media shit. This is ain't Facebook, Twitter or others. Just completely move to Anilist if you really need that. |
| Haters always gonna hate. |
| @sevenPocky So you prefer looking up on Twitter than checking their official websites? Well, not everyone was using Twitter (or social media) so It won't be used much. Is there by any chance you are suggesting this to ease up your work? |
| Haters always gonna hate. |
| @sevenPocky So what do you really want? Twitter discussions/info/news (over MAL forum discussions) about anime using hash tags, and where they will place it? Or hash Twitter hash tags on the anime/manga pages? What ever it is, I got a feeling this will kill the discussions on the forum. |

| So... MAL is appealing to Twitter now and becoming AniList? *Moves to AniDB* Rayzer said: Another social media shit. This is ain't Facebook, Twitter or others. Just completely move to Anilist if you really need that. Or tis... :) :) Honestly there's nothing really wrong if they want MAL to adapt this kind of thing. I mean I know there has to be a forum that doesn't have that kind of bs... :/ |
sevenPocky said: I got confused because the way you post seems you really liked Twitter and wanted Twitter discussions integrated on MAL as well.My my, I'm sorry, I might've been unclear. No direct effect on MAL. For me, just putting a link of the official Twitter hashtag or account beside the Offical Site, ANN, and AniDB on the related links at the bottom of an anime page's left column would be enough, when there's one. Aren't those Twitter accounts are already included on their official sites? And I think most of those post those post on their Twitter accounts are available on the official site's news section, unless you really want the Twitter discussions. And heck we can't even read those post on their Twitter accounts. |

sevenPocky said: Yeah, it could be useful, but the problem is most of the MAL users can't even read anything that are posted on their Twitter accounts.Hm not much, just thought that they'll be a nice addition :) I'm sorry that I have confused you >_< |
| Haters always gonna hate. |
| @sevenPocky So are you suggesting something like this? I'm looking for a similar thing. It's always useful to know what hashtag you should use when posting something on social media (regardless of if it's Twitter or not), so that the post gets noticed.  |
FoxInFlame said: Yup! That and/or the official hashtag itself. Some of my friends keep on asking for the official hashtag and MAL could be their stop (if they find it difficult to hunt down websites and Twitter accounts, cause well, it's Japanese)@sevenPocky So are you suggesting something like this?

sevenPocky said: It can be done only if Twitter offers to translate the non English post like what Facebook do.Rayzer said: Sadly that's true.Yeah, it could be useful, but the problem is most of the MAL users can't even read anything that are posted on their Twitter accounts. |

sevenPocky said: That and/or the official hashtag itself. Official hashtag is already in the picture. |
| @sevenPocky Don't you think that it could make a trouble when their official hashtags are used by English (or those who knows) speaking countries? You know most of the Japanese population doesn't know how to speak or even read English. That can be a big problem when that happens. And yeah that would be another work for the moderators. By the way, the official sites are already available on their respective MAL pages. |
| Haters always gonna hate. |
| please and thank you i remember @sevenpocky used to have a list for that and it was very helpful! |
| I support the idea that we link to the official Twitter account, it would make my job easier. :P I wouldn't hold my thumbs that this gets implemented though. |

FoxInFlame said: @Jicetus Just a question, how does it help the Anime Moderators? I understand it would aid the News team in the sense that they would know which hashtag to use when creating SNS posts linked to their news articles. The Japanese love Twitter, they announce almost everything on their official Twitter; for example OVAs/Specials release, or if a show is going to have a pre-airing, etc. |

| No No Noo For the sake of anything you love Nooo. Stop with this social network thing. We don't need more cancer. |
Well, I dunno, MAL seem to have the Social Media Team... :/ So I guess it wouldn't be soon until they implement this thing... |
| What's the function of this again? To know which anime are currently trending? |

| I don't think it is important. And it would mean more work to add all those for every anime. I mean twitter isn't really used a lot anymore with all the other messenger or social media getting more important. And for chatting/communication it really is not that good. Only for ... tweeting some status update or something like that. But I'm not against this. (I just could decide not to use it.) I hate all those "but AniDB (or some other DB) has this - so we don't need it because we don't want to turn into that other website". That really is one of the most stupid things I have heard. With that you could just say "shut down MAL - other anime databases have all the anime listead already". :D If you add it: The main twitter account of the anime (or company) would make most sense. So people could follow there and get info. Just including some hashtag is not really helpful. People searching for that hashtag might find also unofficial info posted by others. And if some friends just want to talk with twitter (instead of using some chat) they could (as already mentioned) look the hashtag up themselves ... or they could just use some random hashtags (if it is only those friends talking to each other they could tell the others which hashtag they are gonna use). |

Well that is different since Social Media Team generally works on news. Well other dude said that it would support the franchise, so it seems good to have... I mean who doesn't want to support the franchise of series that most people are starving... :/ Here: sevenPocky said: +1 I would definitely want that! Plus the official Twitter account (if they have). It's quite helpful with discussions (when it airs) there and filters out stuff (muting it to avoid spoilers too). Not really a MAL thing, but it'll be nice as a way to support the franchise. Wait, if Social Media Team generally works on the news, why not just call it News Team Trainee rather that Social Media Team? Well either way, people seem to have this "this is a good thing to implement because tons of good stuff it will bring" vibe... :/ |
_Ako_ said: Well either way, people seem to have this "this is a good thing to implement because tons of good stuff it will bring" vibe... :/ And is that bad? I personally believe it's great to look forward to something. |
FoxInFlame said: _Ako_ said: Well either way, people seem to have this "this is a good thing to implement because tons of good stuff it will bring" vibe... :/ And is that bad? I personally believe it's great to look forward to something. It is not a bad thing, nor I mentioned that it is a bad thing. That is what I observed, there's really nothing to it than that. I personally don't know anything about the twitter hashtag or any bs like that because I don't roam in some random social media shit. |
_Ako_ said: I personally don't know anything about the twitter hashtag or any bs like that because I don't roam in some random social media shit. Hateful as always, huh? ;) Threads get amusing when you join in. As people have said, I think including the official Twitter page would be a great option. Hashtags, I don't know about (thinking about what @Luthandorius said). |
| This feature has been suggested internally in the past. The consensus is that it's a "nice to have" feature, though not a priority in the grand scheme of things. There are other, more pressing needs in the database. The goal is not to turn MAL into a social media-based site. It's to help users in the case they want to take discussions off-site. Using official hashtags allows Japanese producers to see global interest in their titles. This helps them see which titles are popular and could help convince them investing more on these titles. |
