Hi everyone!
Basically I discovered a different website which is called AniList and overall ever since I found it I’ve been using it much more often than mal so lately I just decided since I’ve been using AniList way more than Mal I might as well stick to it since I stopped updating my anime list here and have been updating everything at AniList. I just really like how the website looks/prefer much more than Mal and a much better rating system or a variety of choices to choose.
Well bye everyone and thank you for everything MAL!

I like anilist too. I might make an account there again some of this days.
My main problem with it are the forums they are dead. Mal seems more active and has a larger community. Why don't you use both there is nothing stopping you, it's not like you have to choose only one.
Have fun see you on anilist I guess^^

I use all list sites to import lists there now and then.

But MAL has grown on me. Plus it has large and active community. So MAL is my active platform.

But if AniList will eventually have all the features and few design tweaks I will like. Then i might move fully there unless MAL returns to active developing. As this site also needs a lot more features and newer design.

AniList is very modernized and nice looking site with plenty of more useful features and convenience . But still rather W.I.P .

MAL has been polished over years.. but their progress plummeted at some point. And especially after the shutdown period. So I hope they will return to developing once they done with "transition" period.

Nevertheless. Point being. I import my MAL list to all platforms (anilist, animedb, kitsu, anime-planet) . But MAL Is what I use actively because of better performance, bigger community and more active community.

Anyhow. Bye.

ye judging by your post count you do not use the forums here on MAL anyway so AniList is better just for tracking stuff

That might not be a bad idea.

The thing I like most about my MAL list is the tags sections, where I can write funny little notes about the shows. If you can do that on AniList as well, then yeah, maybe I'll switch. If not, I'll stay

Yea it's pretty good to change things up to keep it vibrant. There's no one stopping you from coming back here though.

I guess I got used to MAL. I've been using this site for over 8 years now and have never thought of switching to another site. I heard a lot of good things about Anilist tho. I might take it as a backup later.

What is it about Anilist that compels MAL users that barely use the forum to announce that they are leaving?

Wasn't there a tread similar to these before.


Never explain,
Never retract,
Never apologize
Just get the thing done
And let them howl

Why do I have a feeling that AniList is promoting users to come here and say this?

These threads need to be deleted.

How many favorites do you even need? If you have more than 10 they are probably not very favorite right

Mal has annoying rules and moderation. What about anilist?

Anilist forums are a wasteland.... lmao the site design is cool and all, but the main reason I love mal is for its interaction.

significantly reduced my time on mal but could never get into anilist, the community there is meh by comparison, although I'm not saying mal's community is fun and welcoming, which is why I've reduced my time here

I forgot that when one registers on mal, he/she agrees to enter into a polyamorous relationship with every other user. we had a good run OP, we will move on eventually from this tragic breakup.

This wouldnt shock me.

When I was moderator on the mal discord, a few people on ani tried promoting their site and stealing me from myanimelist. This was back when mal was down. Let me make this clear: I like some people from anilist. I like Taluun despite the hate he gets. However, i feel like anilist wants to be mal and some are jealous of mals success.
