The filters currently only have

Filters said:

Title
Status
Producer
Airing dates
Season

But I think there should be extra filters, to cover all of this data that mal has on each entry:

These filters can be

filter by Type
filter by Episode count between bounds
filter by Studio
filter by Source
filter by Genres
filter by episode Duration between bounds
filter by Score between bounds
filter by Ranking between bounds
filter by Popularity between bounds
filter by Members between bounds
filter by Favourites between bounds

I think all these possible filters should be added. It would be quite useful.

Just now I wanted to quickly find in my list all the Mecha anime I have seen, which would be possible if there were a "filter by genre" option, but I don't know how to do this with the site as it currently is.

In addition to this, I'd also recommend a filter based on number of members (similar to score), as I often like to seek out more popular shows that I maybe missed out on.

I suggested that in the OP already, "Members between bounds" means to be able to filter for shows between eg. 20.000 and 100.000 members.

I think a lot of these new filters options can be sorting options too, which would be a better way to achieve what you want.

Oh my bad, managed to completely skim over that, but yeah i think that's a great suggestion

More filters usually = more server load due to additional queries. That's probably one of the main reasons more filters aren't available. Unless the filter is going to be really useful then adding it probably wouldn't be worth it.
