| I use myanimelist to track stuff and find animes. |
 |
| Because I ended up watching anime I had already seen before. I would put something on and be like. Hold up, I've already watched this. Using excel spreadsheets just seemed stupid. |
| Because of what it is, "My Anime List" |
| To have something that can count and list my watched series and place where I can find more anime that can be counted after watching lmao |
| yes I'm in control ak wrapped around my shoulder strike with venom like a cobra murder all in the aroma |
| because this is where i found my first love :D |
    ☁ |
| After a certain point using a spreadsheet got way long. |
 |
| It was to flex how much anime I watched, then it was to flex my degeneracy. |
 My biggest regret: Reading all 200+ chapters of Kanojo, Okarishimasu |
| Honestly I just really like lists. Also it helps me remember what episode I'm on. I'm good at remembering story-lines but i'm less good at remembering episode number. I've also found out about some anime I really like from MAL so that's a bonus. |
| One of the biggest reason why I even decided to join MAL is because I heard about it from a friend and they made me make a account although I didn’t use for a while. Until I found about forums. |
| For the pure, simple joy of adding things to a list and putting numbers on them. |
TsubasaWoKudasai said: Op, is this some job interview question? It is, i'm trying to find people who think outside of the box. |
| People were using spreadsheets? I just kept that info in my large af brain. I got into MAL for reasons I literally cannot remember, I think the damn "you should join MAL" thingy probably persuaded my to join. Or maybe the list function was actually useful. Two years too late to know now. |
TsubasaWoKudasai said: I remember a job interview I went to, recruiter asked me if I knew of any companies that manufactures musical instruments, I couldn't think off any on the spot, so moved on, during the next question, I remembered the piano scene in Evangelion 3.33, and said "To your previous question, I know of a company". She asked me which, and I said "Yamaha". That question is probably what got me the job offer, then found out what the job involved, which I turned down (because I wasn't interested in it). Thank you, anime! Anyways, when do I start this position? That's a great story, and about that position. You're fired. |
| I wanted to catalog the anime I've watched. |
| "among monsters and humans, there are only two types. Those who undergo suffering and spread it to others. And those who undergo suffering and avoid giving it to others." -Alice “Beauty is no quality in things themselves: It exists merely in the mind which contemplates them; and each mind perceives a different beauty.” David Hume “Evil is created when someone gives up on someone else. It appears when everyone gives up on someone as a lost cause and removes their path to salvation. Once they are cut off from everyone else, they become evil.” -Othinus  |
| Well, when I sold Xinil the idea for an anime tracking site for a box of Pocky, I promised him that someday I'd joined his webpage. #truestory The fake story is that I migrated here from another listing site that annoyed me with all the changes they were making to the site. |
 |
| Mainly to put what anime that I've already seen & to find some new anime that might eventually become some new favorites. |
 |
| It is easier to keep track of my lists for those I'm currently on and those which I plan-to read or watch. Additionally, MAL has the feature of notification on the "plan-to-watch" which is useful. |
 |
| don't remember, mosrly fr tracking stuff since first i used the note app and it was more bothersome, i still use it for things that aren't on either anilisst or myanimelist so mostly for webtoons or self publishied manga like BIBLIOMANIA |
Illinois said: I was watching a video The Anime Man made where he roasted people's lists, now i'm just here for the forums lol. So why did you join? Same as you, I didn't even know MAL exists after 10 years of watching anime lol |
| Too many animes to track so i finally decided to make account. I wish forums were more interesting |
| found notes to be a pain in the ass to track anime in so i just went here |
  so sleepy... did you need something? |
| It's been a quite w while since I joined, so I cant remember exactly why but Im pretty sure it was to keep track of what I was reading/watching |
| Pretty much keep track of stuff, now I kinda just want to talk about stuff. |
| I needed a way to keep track of titles. Been doing that since 2018. I have only been recently active on forums here this year. |
 If you are a friend. Visit my profile to recommend me something to watch ( ^▽^)ψ__ |
| im pretty sure i joined to keep tract of the anime i watched, im pretty sure another reason also was that i saw theanimeman's videos about mal and they caused me to check out the website. |
| cause for better or worse I feel like I can relate to everyone here |
 |
|
| I joined back 2007 because I was a kid serious about his anime watching and needed to track multiple shows etc. |
 |
| a friend recommended it after he convinced me to watch your name for the first time. |
 |
| To keep track of the anime I've watched instead of using a PowerPoint |
| Certainly not for grocery shopping What else but the anime list/database and forums |
 |
| my friend had an account so i made one too ┐(￣ヘ￣;)┌ didn't start using it until early 2020 though |
 |
| I made it, for me to know which animes I have seen lol then about a few years ago I started posting and reviewing animes :) Check out my Etsy <3 |
 |
| At first I basically just wanted to track what I am watching. |
   sos, there's a goddess in disquise |
| I was a frequent user of Animax Community and one of my friends there told me about MAL so I tried it out. |
 |
| To watch pornhentai with my homies! |
 |
| I don't remember exactly but I think it was something like my friend told me to make an account after I had watched 1st anime and I just made it. Been using it ever since. Glad I did. Found some real banger show because of that. |
| I first signed up for MAL as a way to keep track of everything I'm watching/watched. It's also a great way to find other shows that might be interesting, and to discover which new shows are coming soon. |
 |
| same as op lmaoo i mean that was how i found out about mal. then i thought it was just useful and that it was easier to keep track of my anime and manga here than on notepad xd |
