| No i find the site slow and UI is a mess in that whole site.Still i use ANilist as a backup site for MAL. |
| I heard they don't allow shitposting. Should check that. |
MajesticOtaKing said: I'm going to keep saying it. Both have advantages over the other, and which one is "better" depends on what you're looking for. Since I want to enjoy my hobby life to its fullest, I'm using both so I can take advantage of each one's positive points. These are, in my opinion, a few pros of each site: MAL: -Better organized database -More active recommendations, reviews, forums, and (more specifically) episode discussion -Clubs (although this is in the future for AL) -Better organized lists -Personal messages AL: -Warm community -Global feed allows more interaction with the entire site -Extremely detailed genre and tag filtering system for browsing anime (including an extensive list of hentai tags) -Custom lists (meaning you can make a "will not watch" list) -Follow system allows you to more easily keep track of other users who wouldn't otherwise accept a friend request -Unlimited favorites It's not an all-inclusive list (and it's definitely subjective), but these are the things that I like about both sites. If you don't have time to be on multiple sites, pick the one that suits you. This doesn't have to be "us vs them" drama. I'm curious if anyone thinks Kitsu has any pros over the other sites. If so, I may consider using all three. Finally a constructive post on this thread. Well, as if OP is being constructive on his post though given that he didn't give any justifications on his opinion. Also, you forgot to mention on AL that you can assign your scoring system(If you want 10.0 decimal rating, standard 1-10 like MAL, 1-100 points, 1-5 stars, or smiley). Then again, it seems AL forums are way better than this shitty MAL forums(You can totally see it from this thread alone, not to mention some hypocrites). Also, AniList can be improved in the future so it can't be help if it looks like it's still lacking something since it seems it's new. Unfortunately I don't think I'll try AL since I have MAL and my main purpose of my MAL is to have an anime list so making an AL account for the sake of anime list is redundant, which is pointless. Maybe if I want an anime forum to lurk because I'm finally sick and tired of MAL forums, then I might go and try AL. However, AL's forum interface is confusing so it's kinda irritating to browse. |

| AL is just plain boring. All the fun is still here. |
| I always forget about Anilist. And I like the look of my anime list on myanimelist better. And everything else here is more inviting too, design on AL looks like it was made with pre-made templates or something. |
  |
| It's like saying I love emilia. Good meme. |
 |
| The only thing I don't like about Anilist is there is no recommendations but I do like that sometimes you can chat with the community and yeah I do look for small sites that talk quite often |

| None are better,both still lacking mangas. |
| Not really no shitposting allowed and full of people who only watch anime and no one to disscuss manga |

Daemon said: Anilist's database is trash when compared to MAL, which is really the main thing I care about in an anime tracking site. Also don't forget the not having any thing recommended to point you to other anime you liked if you liked one particular show |

| everything is better than this thread |
  ur opinion = shit |
| frankly its a bit normie for me to use mal looks fancier and has a larger userbase |
| Their API actually works with makes Anilist objectively better than MAL |
| it has a smaller database than mal so for a list-updating site, it is objectively inferior |
 |
| Totally agree, but i'm too lazy to add 127+ entries to anilist. |
| You actually can just import list from MAL. Until MAL fixes their API, i probably had to use both... one for taiga tracking, another for looking for anime. |

| Yet you have over 450 posts here. smh |
| I use AL as a back up. It has a very social site quality to it. I find the community there quite nice and supportive than MAL. If active forums, simplicity, larger database is your thing, choose MAL. |
| What is AniList? does it have ProudAsian? |
    |
| Eh we a know Anivide/Anispace or Anivide 2008 to pre 2013 was the best anime site... Anivide Anime friends and everything in between! |

| Anivide was a good site before the trolls took over. But back in the day 08 to 2011 it was a nice small community with dedicated gobal mods. Anivide was miles ahead of Anilist. Anilist is somewhat a new anivide. |

| i do like anilist's system better for scouting anime, but it can never be as good as mal without the same number of members |
| As someone who has recently signed up and tried it. Anilist is better at being an anime/manga tracker because their site provides a richer, more interactive UI using more modern webdev technologies. -Site navigation & anime/manga browsing is easy & intuitive -The search filter & tagging is superior -Has a twitter-like activity stream that lists more than 5 things at any given time -User anime/manga lists aren't as modular (no header sorting & no custom css as far as I know) but is clean and functional. You can actually manage your anime/manga list entries straight from the list without navigating away. You are provided a button that opens up a modal. -The api is easy to handle. But MAL has a better community no doubt due to its superior forum interface. Anilist's forum looks like it was made for mobile devices. A lot of wasted useless white space, less overall functionality, has minimal text formatting options (uses markdown, rather than bbcode/html), and doesn't use classic limit-offset based pagination so navigating older threads/posts is a nightmare (you'd have to endlessly scroll down and hope your filters sufficiently narrowed things down). tldr if you want a community, meet & discuss things w/ ppls, stay on mal if you just want an anime/manga tracker consider anilist. |
| AniList better? https://i.imgur.com/8iDplLZ.png Lol no |
| yep i find AniList better too with its listing features although im still more active here on MAL just because of the higher forum activity here |
| It's a bit sad how I'm finding out about these damn sites rather late. But, I think I'll just stick to this one. |

| Maybe, but I wouldn't want to start over making another anime list, so I'm stuck on MAL. |
PeppermintHearts said: Maybe, but I wouldn't want to start over making another anime list, so I'm stuck on MAL. Actually you can export your lists from MAL and upload them to your AniList account. Just sayin, cause I did that the day before yesterday or so and it took me about five minutes. Not sure yet which site I like more, though. |

Maneki-Mew said: I really like(d) anilist and might use it more often again, but the site is so slowly loading, sometimes it's unnerving. i thought its just my shitty 3rd world internet lol guess they need to optimize their code more or maybe they lack server resources at the moment due to financial limitations |
Maneki-Mew said: deg said: i thought its just my shitty 3rd world internet lol guess they need to optimize their code more or maybe they lack server resources at the moment due to financial limitations I also have a shitty 3rd class laptop since 6 years. Maybe it's us and our laptop / internet gives up on pages that have more code content or more complicated codes. that maybe another cause of the slow response there i just remember now that maybe its like the modern redesign of reddit too that is slow on a lot of first world users too despite them having great internet speeds |
RunningWild85 said: If Anilist is better why are you here OP? Last Online Aug 30, 2018 looks like OP migrated there already for a long time |

My internet isn't that bad, it's my laptop, don't know about reddit. The site is a mess, actually it looks like a 90s forum. i remember AniList have customizable lists too with CSS like MAL have but i got no idea why they remove that now |
| never heard of it. most new anime sites usually die after a year or two though |
 |
| As someone who is mainly a manga reader, the current situation with the manga side of the DB has really frustrated me. Since the anime DB was prioritized during that event one year ago, I made an account there. Now I'm more active there since they fill in the missing gaps I needed. Everyone has their own preferred site, so to each their own. |

| I like the extra stats and the layout is kinda nice to look at, the forums are a mess though and last I checked MAL's database was more organized. It's good that the site is frequently updating and the community is slowly (too slowly) growing. Maybe in like 2 years from now it'll be a good alternative to MAL. It's from the same creator of AniChart so I have hopes that he'll be able to do it. |
