| I dunno if anyone thought of this idea, but let's hear it. Alrighty, imagine if MAL connected to Crunchyroll, Netflix and HuLu OK? Then, any anime you watch on any of those networks will lead "automatically" to update your anime list based on whether you are watching certain episode(s) or you completed the anime. Opinions?  |

changelog said: This would a nice quality of life update but I doubt many people would care enough to take full advantage of this feature. Firstly, I think this is a pretty lazy way of doing things. Secondly, there are a considerable number of people who illegally stream/torrent anime (including me) who will most likely not be inclined to start using these services just because it does all the updating automatically. You would be given the choice whether or not to connect. Even if you have CR, NF, HuLu account(s), you still have the choice to connect or not. Like really, I do what I could to avoid pirating anime. I have premium accounts at CR and NF for years. The least we deserve is such feature that helps us updating our lists at MAL auto instead of doing it manually. |

RobinTheKing said: also would be nice with KissAnime, 9anime, Gogoanime and Masteranime I disagree. Aren't these sites illegal? I understand the financial status of us anime watchers, but really? At least Crunchyroll takes only $7 a month, and yet some countries have weak currency that I'm not sure one whether they can or not afford Premium account at Crunchyroll for $7 a month. |

Crunchyroll has a terribly small anime collection, not friendly with people that are not in the USA (more than half of the anime are not available to other countries), SJW stuff, video player has a lot of problems. If they would make the site better, I would try to pay. |
| That simply won't ever happen for various reasons. First off, you need real partnerships with them, which means money, which means the advantage of having said partnerships would be much lower than the money they would have to spend to get them in most cases. Secondly, every site wants traffic, so if you don't even need to go to MAL to update your list and you do it through other sites, MAL gains nothing really. Such features could only come through scripts or apps, just like Taiga updated your list from every episode you had downloaded and watched. There are already CR videos in entries, but that's as far as it will get, unless MAL somehow becomes the beacon of everything anime-related and is sought after everyone (which won't happen). So no, this idea is just helpful to you and won't help the site grow really. (That and Dena currently does nothing useful, so...) |

| *sigh* ... I hate to admit it, but sounds like what Maffy said is right. Such networks like Crunchyroll/Netflix are million/billion dollars corporations. Sad day, sad man. |

| As someone who left this website for kitsu long ago, there is no reason why they can't have at least just links to the said legal websites from the anime page. well you can add illegal links to, but I think this site wouldn't last as long unless you wanna move the server somewhere. Excuses excuses is all I hear. That is just one reason I left, I don't wanna get too of topic so I'll leave it at that. |

| MAL is partnered with Crunchyroll (and by proxy Funimation as well). Hulu and Netflix would probably not be in the picture. MAL, being partnered with Crunchyroll, is now also against piracy in order to maintain their agreement with Crunchyroll, which means they'll never partner with any illegal sites. All of this is just pipe dreams until we can get the API back up, though. |
  |
| It's really hard to manage your authentication without an API. So even if they want to add this, they don't, they have to come up with an API that handles auth requests really well. |
