Same. I'd gladly switch back if they at least had the API working, but they're also really strict on manga rules, so there are none of the great mangas/manhwas/webtoons out there, like Hardcore Leveling Warrior, The Gamer, or even Solo Leveling!

Protip: I'm using Taiga to update my kitsu list that automatically updates my MAL list, the only problem is when you are rewatching.


Wait a minute that is possible? Damn, I better start doing that then. I have been using AL then I manually update everything in MAL. If Kitsu can do that then that is 10x easier lol.

I've been using it since December of last year, I was checking some of kitsu's settings and realized I could do that.


In most cases, the MAL Average Scores don't mean anything, here is a question: were the works made before 2000 all shit?
Why are they so damn scarce in the Top 50? Think about how MAL is quite literally a filtered amount of the Anime fanbase.

Here's a timeline of the Top 15 in which you can check that, almost always, the scores are affected by the freshness, popularity and other factors that have nothing to do with quality.

This is the reason I didn't switch to AniList years ago, because random Western shit is allowed. This appears to be manwha, though. I'm fine with that, South Korea and China are the new Japan anyway. I can't find garbage like The Last Airbender and RWBY in their database anymore either.

No pathetic clickbait articles either and a dislike option on reviews. And the search option seems to somewhat function putting the series' new season on the first spot if you search for "JoJo Golden" instead of the 4th spot. Is this the same site I'm thinking of from a few years ago? If I have the time and start watching anime regularly again I'll switch over.

After looking around for some help info on the API, I wound up here. Half a year with no update on an API? That's far too long to go without saying something, anything.

The site has been going down on a regular basis recently. The bad part is that MAL never announce anything about it, haven't found anything on neither the site or social media but they'll continue to post other things whilst the site is down. What's so difficult about letting people know if you're planning maintenance for example? I feel since this is an ongoing issue that the lack of transparency is disrespectful to users so after near a decade I'm going elsewhere and doubt I'm the only one.

Just got the Kitsu App on my phone and I must say that it looks pretty cool! The sync function with MAL also makes it worth to download while we wait for MAL's API to get back up.

You are absolutely right. Xinil needs to shed some light on whats going on here and be clear with it.
dont't watch that anime if you are going to give it 1* and cry 10000 words in review about it.

If u guys wonder how I maintain my MAL list, here my tips.

use AniList, and use http://taiga.moe/ apps to update your animelist

1. export your list from MAL and import to AniList.
MAL: https://myanimelist.net/panel.php?go=export
AniList: https://anilist.co/settings/import
2. set your Taiga sync service to AniList. (Setting->Service->Main)
3. watch you fav anime and let Taiga update your list.
4. click Sync botton on your Taiga.

keep your MAL uptodate:

1. Install a userscript manager (choose one from this list https://greasyfork.org/en)
2. Install the script here https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/373467-douki
3. Visit the import page on Myanimelist.net. You need to be logged in to MAL. (https://myanimelist.net/import.php)
4. Alternatively, a link to the import page is added to the List dropdown at the top of the main page
5. Make sure the date format matches your setting on MAL (US or Euro).
6. Fill in your Anilist username and hit Import

MAL back then and now is different, it used to takes ages just to add anime, no episode increment in your anime list, no instant add anime on the list directly

Also I tend to prefer updating my list on daily basis, realtime if possible since I used MAL for reminding me at which episode I were at if I watched an ongoing series, whether I missed an eps last week, etc. Might not seems tedious for you, but yes it is for me, since I worked 12+ hr a day even on weekend and I watched anime during the night before I go off to bed to release my pent up stress.

the reason my MAL account is up to date when it was cool was because i was using an app called PocketMAL which is a free app that is fast and clean and lightweight too. now since the "we announce new terms&privacy" wave attacked the API and MAL users, i no longer could use MAL. i mean, i won't use the web to open it every time i watch an anime or read manga just to add an episode that i already watched. also, sometimes when i already finished a season, i was just too tired to do every single thing i read/watch to my profile. it's too much of a hassle. yeah, call me lazy or something. it doesn't change the fact that accessing my MAL list never been as easy and as good as before

right, do it daily/weekly and see how many minutes you need to update all your list
with API you can set it to hook your media player/stream site and it can be reflected immediately without wasting your time

also internet back on that time is not as fast as it is now, especially since on my city which is like it's inside a third world country back then, it took me 2 hours just to update my list weekly/monthly

For me this thing a "race"... I would've left this site ages ago if other lists would have the one thing, that not even MAL has but it still exists... Malgraph.

So I wonder which site will get his shit together in this century MAL, Anilist or some other site.

Thanks for the heads up, I will check it out later, at the moment it doesn't work for me yet for some reason.

I hope it has the missed related titles, that is the most important thing for me, especially since I lose a lot of titles with transferring, that might be under a different name or they just count OVAs and stuff differently.

Are you kidding me MAL? Almost 2 fucking years and the API is still in development with no ETA.
Get your priority straight, I don't care about your stores, I don't care about your add-on anime streaming or whatever the hell you want to add, I just want functional APIs because it's the sole reason for me to use MAL over everything else. Glad that I moved to anilist. MAL is a lost cause.

The update will be that they will begin work on the API with biweekly updates on the status of that work promised. This will soon give way to no updates at all, and then eight months later the process will start over again.

Okay is the App still down? Because I have been having problems logging in the last few days and it made me so frustrated that I wanted to throw my phone today. (I didn't throw it but the feeling was there)

I know it has been down for a hot minute so if it is still down this is ridiculous. I know ever since you shut down that 3rd party app and went about making your own at first I was excited but then I have had problem after problem with it and now it's been down forever!

What's going on????? Is it ever coming back period? Any time soon?!

Update: I found this new app called Kitsu and I'm going to try it out. It's even letting me download all my MAL list to it.
I have been with MAL fooooooorrrrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeevvvvvveeeeerrrrrrr so it sucks to go and support something else. However this long wait time is way to inconvenient at this point. Maybe if you guys get everything back up and running I will come back but until then I need something that functions.

I don't have a good feeling about these changes and how this whole site went down then came back up in a crippled state. Speaks of internal conflict during what were obviously administrative changes. I will discontinue the service. There are others. Thanks for the good times.

Fot a while I actually believed that ~all~ features were going to be returned, you sure got me haha.

I love how in 5 years as a user here, the only post you've ever made is this post.
