| Thanks for posting the Suggestions topic! I think my suggestion might fall under the category of levels and experience gained. What I've suggested over 3 years ago in this club was to fix the experience/xp gained for the badges of OVA Fan, ONA Fan & Special Fan so these three would be similar with the requirements for TV Fan. TV Fan: The xp list for TV Fan consists of 100, 200, 500, 1000, 1500, 2000, 2500, 5000, 10000. OVA Fan: ONA Fan: Special Fan: Unlike TV Fan, these three badges have a smaller xp gain: 10, 50, 250, 500, 1000, 1500, 2000, 3000, 5000 ================================== Since the 4 of them have pretty much the same list of requirements (except for ONA fan with a max of 500), I think it would be much more appropriate and would make more sense that the xp gain for OVA Fan, ONA Fan & Special Fan be increased and, more preferably, simply copy the xp list of TV Fan for these three badges so all four badges would have the same xp amount, keeping all four coherent altogether. 1000 OVAs or 1000 Specials completed is already an astonishing achievement and those deserve more xp. Also, from what I remember from last time, Movie Fan badge was supposed to be exactly the same with TV Fan with its requirements and xp. Movie Fan: Movie Fan wasn't like this before. ^_^; Now this badge is just like the badges for genres (Action, Adventure, Comedy etc.). ================================== Speaking of genres, I was wondering if certain genre badges would be replaced? Dementia is now referred to as "Avant Garde" so my Dementia badge is now empty, lol. And Thriller has now been labeled as "Suspense". Will there now be badges for "Workplace", "Adult Cast", or "Idols"? I'm sorry for posting so many questions about the new genre badges and that might put too much work for you immediately. I'm aware that Mal-badges has just been re-launched again and a lot of things are still being considered. But at least I'm hoping that changing the levels for the xp & amount of the five badges I mentioned above would be taken into consideration. After more than 3 years, it just doesn't sit right with me that these five badges are not the same with each other. D: Thank you very much and have a nice day! |

Hey, If you take a look at the google doc I’ve linked in my suggestion post, you can see how we’ll be giving out points to just about all the badges. There will be more levels and more points per level, which would allow us to go to higher levels for the main badge. We’ll be ensuring that there will be more badge levels to take into account the size of the DB and the future growth in size (including manga in the future) |

Highest badge level is 50 from what I've seen in your post and that sounds really exciting. I'm looking forward to the upcoming updates that you'll all implement for MAL-badges in the future. :) I believe MAL-badges is in good hands. |

| Is that possible to change episode counts for these two badges? Medium anime fan badge: 13-24 episodes --> 12-24 Short anime fan badge: 1-12 episodes --> 1-11 Most of the anime series are splitted to two 12 episode "cours" in nowadays and MAL makes new pages for every cour, so it's rather annoying when so many new 24 episode shows get listed to short animes badge and not for the medium animes like they used to be. |

| Maybe director badges for well known directors? |
 _______I like rocks__  |
| I know this doesn't bother so many people but.. could you consider bringing back the old "exclusive" badges? I know it is a silly request, but there were a few anime I suffered watching only for the badge, and I don't want it to go to waste lol. |
 |
| Personally, I do not see the point of some of the new unique anime badges for really popular shounens. While the old site had a few odd picks, stuff like Pingu or Nami (RIP) encouraged people to discover eccentricates in the database. I understand if you want to introduce some badges to encourage people to check out some highly significant/popular works, but do we really need one for ReZero, Overlord, and NGNL? You could easily start creating badges for everything, so I think there should be some criteria for what you choose. (influence, bizarre hilarities, relevance in community, ect.) Also, you may want to review a couple of these titles to make sure they aren't already names of things in the database (e.g.100% is set for Mob Psycho, but that's also the name of an OVA: https://myanimelist.net/anime/7374/100) |
 |
| I was thinking why there was zero in some of my badges, but then I noticed that MAL has no anime genres/themes like Dementia, Thriller, Police, Demons, Magic and Cars anymore. Dementia genre is turned to Avant Garde, Police theme to Detective, Magic theme to Mahou Shoujo, Thriller genre to Suspense and Cars theme to Racing. I don't know what happened to Demons theme. That kind of animes are maybe moved under mythology theme or something like that. |
|
| @_cjessop19_ I've just checked the google docs spreadsheet, and...wow... This is sick. MAL-Badges 2.0 goes waaaayy beyond than the original MAL-Badges before. Considering the entire size of the MAL database for both anime and manga, it's definitely impossible in the span of a single lifetime to reach the higher levels such as Badge level 50, and you're even willing to go for a possible Badge level 100. I don't know about the cheaters who could make fraudulent lists.... I'm looking forward to the release of MAL-badges for manga. Just from what I've seen so far from the spreadsheet for the planned future projects, just wow. This is sick, lol. Thank you for sharing it! |

They were added when the site was shut down and moved to a different site. We might run a public contest to submit new challenge badges when all the badges get added and points are updated.

You can see in the main post that this is in consideration and will be fixed at a later date. It’ll just take time due to how many there are that’ll also need updating |
| So, there are 1980-2022 badges. Why not go with just 1970s instead of 1970-1979? Same with 1960s and backwards. |

DarkEmperor69 said: So, there are 1980-2022 badges. Why not go with just 1970s instead of 1970-1979? Same with 1960s and backwards. We'll be adding badges for all the years that are available before 1980 |
| Could there be badges for completing anime from influential people? The more influential the people, the more point it gives for example Osamu Tezuka is one person who hekped anime take off. Also from popular studios for example completing studio from Toei because they're one of the oldest studios that pump out anime. |

We could do an “XYZ person variety” badge if Koito can work out the code for such a badge |
| A very small request, but please preserve the capitalization from a person's MAL profile (e.g. https://www.mal-badges.com/users/kwanthemaster should be capitalized). |
|
| Currently for 2019-2022, we need to see 100 anime to finish the badge, right? Which is good, because there are a lot of anime coming out these days. But that's what I'm thinking, shouldn't we reduce the amount required for the 1980 - 1990 badges? Because it's very hard to do, a lot of anime from those years are very long, sometimes low quality and not for everyone. Currently it's 50, so why not change it to 30? The second thing is "Chinese anime" - donghua, nowadays there are more and more animations from that country, and more and more people are watching it. So it would be nice to see a badge referring specifically to donghua. Only I don't know if it's possible, because there's still no separate category for this animation on myanimelist, even though they're adding donghua to the site. |
Nevelin said: shouldn't we reduce the amount required for the 1980 - 1990 badges? We'll be setting the max lvl the same for all available years. Even if you complete all the anime in a year, there will always be new anime being discovered and added to the DB. If you can only get maybe the first 4 lvls of a year badge, then that's all you can get, even if you're partway to the next level. We're almost there to getting 1000 anime in a year, so we're making sure the yearly badge covers that and more. Donghuas are counted under ONAs |
| Honestly, I gotta agree with Nevelin that ~50 is a good cap-off for older years up until about 2000 or so. Should more older anime be uncovered and added to the database, and that there's enough for more points for those badges, they can be updated to reflect that. Otherwise, there needs to be reasonable cap-offs. Even the original host did that for stuff like josei, yaoi and yuri, and thriller where they had notably lower rank cap-offs simply because there were less titles listed for those badges. Think thriller or another genre actually got an additional rank after a few years. I get it it's to boost the XP for the later badge levels (of which no one should realistically get anywhere near them), but that's what adding new badges are for. Or hell, some of the existing series badges could get additional ranks added to them for those with multiple seasons like the Magi, Mob Psycho 100, and Haikyuu badges. |

Lil-Bird said: I agree with this reasoning so they will be looked at and indeed have a better cap. When a year has 53 shows, it's better to have that as a cap including it's just better to look at it that you got a full badge when completing those shows instead of seeing 5/6 Badge levels and the cap is being 60 or 100 because that year cannot even reach that amount for now.Honestly, I gotta agree with Nevelin that ~50 is a good cap-off for older years up until about 2000 or so.

We can gauge what level badge each year should be capped at once we release all the yearly badges. We can tell by the largest number of anime completed in the year in the badge ranking section. Plus we can micromanage and manually adjust the badge if the max number passes a certain threshold. |
| I think @_cjessop19_ mentioned something like this briefly in the original spreadsheet, but something I would personally love to see is the border of your main badge change upon level up, in a similar way to games like Overwatch or Halo MCC. I don't know how well this would work with the way that the main badges are currently planned to work and how they are going to be capped at 50 for now, but it's just an idea I had. In these games the border change gives a huge dopamine hit and the current badge designs do seem a little bland to me being just a color with 1-5 stars. |

animenok said: _cjessop19_ said: How so? I mean it shows up in your uncompleted section, there is no opposite achievement i.e for not dropping anything, and it has the same weight as a genre achievement.

animenok said: _cjessop19_ said: This sounds a lot better i think, obvious ideally we don't give any xp but if xp is a requirement to count as a badge then this isnt a bad solution at all, possibly have it at just 50xp which as far as i'm aware is the lowest on the site, alternatively you could just have the badge give zero xp i don't think that would break code or anything basically you get the badge but no real gain for it??Would it please everybody if the dropper badge had only 1 level that rewards 100 xp for 1 entry? That way we can see who tops the chart for most series dropped Again, this isnt my strong suit but ideally i would suggest it to work like that, however if xp is required the above solution is fine, maybe have this paired with a no anime dropped badge of equal xp so you cover both those who drop anime and those who don't. I know personally i would have those who stick it out rewarded a bit more, but that is more my bias than anything else so I think just having an even badge for either side would be a good idea. How about we add a badge that is the opposite of dropper, a badge called Completionist, you get 1000 xp compared to 100 xp from the dropper badge, and you basically have to choose between having dropped anime in your list or not? The badge would be set to dropped anime count = 0 The extra xp for a system based on completing anime? |
_cjessop19_ said: I am against this too, since I don't think there is anything inherently wrong with choosing to put things on your dropped list, just that it shouldn't be rewarded with XP. Essentially, I think points should go towards the amount and variety of what you complete and not really look at the watching/on hold/dropped/PTW (other than for the total episodes viewed).animenok said: This sounds a lot better i think, obvious ideally we don't give any xp but if xp is a requirement to count as a badge then this isnt a bad solution at all, possibly have it at just 50xp which as far as i'm aware is the lowest on the site, alternatively you could just have the badge give zero xp i don't think that would break code or anything basically you get the badge but no real gain for it??

Astalo said: I understand your point, however, I have a different suggestion.Is that possible to change episode counts for these two badges? Medium anime fan badge: 13-24 episodes --> 12-24 Short anime fan badge: 1-12 episodes --> 1-11 Most of the anime series are splitted to two 12 episode "cours" in nowadays and MAL makes new pages for every cour, so it's rather annoying when so many new 24 episode shows get listed to short animes badge and not for the medium animes like they used to be. If the "Rookie Episode Fan" (short anime fan) badge changes to 1-11 episodes like you said, each series with only 12 or 13 episodes will count toward the "Champion Episode Fan" (medium anime fan) badge. That would seem strange to me because this way; TV series that I consider short would count as medium TV series. I think a short TV series should have 12/14 episodes. An example would be Ascendance of a Bookworm, which has 14 episodes. Although that would be the exception to the rule, I have seen TV series with 13 episodes, like Fate/Zero. This way, these series would count towards the "Rookie Episode Fan" badge instead of the "Champion Episode Fan" badge. I also think that a medium TV series should be one with 24/26 episodes. One example would be Higurashi no Naku Koro ni, which has 26 episodes. Thus, series with this amount of episodes would count toward the "Champion Episode Fan" badge instead of the "Ultimate Episode Fan" badge. Therefore, summarizing what I have said before, I think that the mentioned badges should be as follows: Rookie Episode Fan ------> 1-14 episodes Champion Episode Fan --> 15-26 episodes Ultimate Episode Fan -----> 27-100 episodes Said all of that, I am open to more suggestions. |
 “In general, men prefer to let their actions speak instead of words. When they’re in pain, they don’t want to burden anyone with it, not if they can help it. They don’t want anyone to worry about them. That’s how they are. Even so, there may come a time when they’ll ask for your help. And when they do, I know that you’ll be there for them. Isn’t that enough?” — Maes Hughes |

Maybe having a specific short anime badge might help, i.e. 1-10 episodes or something, so you have clear shorts, then the clear average anime 11-14, and so on. |

| Bug reports: 1. Years not working for those with > 50 items I've just completed my 30th 2022 show and it didn't raise my score, i.e. 250 points were not added. 2. Tag count in the backend different from anime.plus The count for shows with "space" tag is almost 10% different from anime+'s for me, both services should come to the same result. In general, how about putting the project in an environment more suited for software development and contributuons than MAL itself, such as github. I'm a professional software engineer and probably would have provided a fix (pull request) for 1. and 2. in the same time I write a forum posting. Also feature discussion, bug fixes / spotting and 3rd party contributions are much faster on github. How about? |

Astalo said: I think the best ranges are based on the cours. One cour usually is 11-13 episodes, and this can easily be reflected in the badges. Why not even refer to "cours" as a metric?Is that possible to change episode counts for these two badges? Medium anime fan badge: 13-24 episodes --> 12-24 Short anime fan badge: 1-12 episodes --> 1-11 Most of the anime series are splitted to two 12 episode "cours" in nowadays and MAL makes new pages for every cour, so it's rather annoying when so many new 24 episode shows get listed to short animes badge and not for the medium animes like they used to be. Short: 1-8 eps 1 cour: 8-13 eps 2 cour: 14-26 eps 3 cour: 27-40 eps 4 cour: 41-52 eps Long: whatever one pleases, either contrinue with the x+13 pattern, or set arbitrary lines such as 75 and 100 What matters to me is that shows of the same cour duration do not end up in different categries, because this is pretty unfair and distorting. E.g. often shows for commercial reasons pick 12+1 format, where the 1 is a 13th episode but sold separately for extra OVA cash. The parent shows of 12 and 13 eps TV length are really the same thing for all practical purposes. |

I think we should name the 4 cour badge: Par 4 The Cour @Koito91 |
| Good idea. It's looking more rational than previous system. I also like that if there will be badge for real anime shorts and they don't go to "1 cour" badge. That "Rookie Episode Badge" is now very bloated, because too much different stuff go to that 1-12 space. |
|
| What do you guys think about redesigning how the badge levels are displayed? This is what I've come up  Maybe when you select which colour badges you're looking at, the small badge up top can also light up? |
_cjessop19_Jan 11, 2023 7:17 AM
animenok said: I think that actually having the different badge achievements actually looking like badges rather than just rectangles with a completion bar might be a nice touch, I recommended the suggestion of doing a red to green progress bar within each rectangle badge to indicate progress. So the more you progress in a badge towards the next level, the more it shifts to green as the bar within it moves from left to right. And I also suggested that once you reach the cap level of a badge, we make it golden and shiny. Imagine how you would max out a skill or stat within an idle/incremental game. We can worry about the looks of specific things after everything is done. animenok said: Question: When looking at the badges section would it start at the lowest and make you swipe to move to the highest, or would it depend on your own current badge level? i.e. if you are say green 5 (lv25) it starts you off there? We’ll try to make it so that it starts off in the median range of all users, so in the 50% percentile. |
| Why don't we restore a maintainable (github) and bug free version first? Unfinished changes on all fronts leave an instable system in no time. The top priority should be a 1:1 version of what we had, and then we can do feature sprints. Speaking with my engineer hat on, I see almost every software engineering mistake in the book being made currently, such as creeping featurism, starting features on top of unfinished work, lack of maintainability and single point of failure and so on. A reasonable priority list could be: 1. Fix existing bugs for years 2. Fix existing bugs with no longer existing (e.g. Demons) or missing genres and themes 3. Discuss changes in the scoring system, such as capping # anime at 10000 and make it more just. I don't get it why watching a particular 12 eps show gives as much rating as watching dozens of shows elsewhere. 4. Full coverage and concept for the new themes (rating value, maintainance on change etc.) 5. Restoring the pre-existing "particular watches" as a neutral basis for discussing changes 6. Fix the backend and caching, whilenot user-visible those always were a problem in the old version 7. Debug and fix the discrepancies in count, e.g. Space tag is 10% off the count of anime+. Probably a backend issue. 8. Hosting That would yield something very similar to the old version. Then we should pick one feature at a time, discuss and implement. Random changes which are left at 80% finished will ruin the code base in no time, lead to frustration and ultimately people leaving. It would help if we have a clear focus, and I can only give my own here. mal-badges to me isa system for grinding which gives slots to fill, e.g. years, themes, genres, media types and so on. The site was always neutral about the content one uses to fill the slots, compared to MAL Challenges or anime+ it was the most "mechanical" and simplest. I really don't want to grow it into a clone of MAL challenges, and frankly I think @_cjessop19_ underestimates the engineering difficulties and skill level available to the project. The front end design is not important, a working crawler and rating assignment is top priority, and both do not work properly. |

| Greetings. I was once again observing the contents of the Google doc that @_cjessop19_ has posted a month ago. Taken from here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1KIT0KaceKrY6AgR0m8rC2O_4ObqT4UDq3lP5Y4ZXGmY/edit#gid=2069397625 I like most of the newly proposed upcoming badges and levels, but the levels for the Entry types doesn't sit right with me. I'm talking about the badges for TV Fan, Movie Fan, Special Fan, ONA Fan, OVA Fan & Music Fan.  If you'd observe the amount for the Entries needed for completion, some of the gaps between the requirements seem to be over the top. Just look at the gap between level 14 and level 15. Lv 14 - 2500 Lv 15 - 5000 Look at that. The gap for the next level is double the amount, which IMHO is irrational and completely unnecessary. No offense. For example, applying this to, let's say, TV Fan: If someone (legendary) happens to have completed 2500 TV anime, the next amount to reach next level is 5000 TV anime, wouldn't that be.....absolutely impossible for a normal human being's lifetime? Even I checked the anime list of the user who's well known in MAL to have one of the largest completed anime list in this website (spacecowboy) and, according to his Completed list, he has a total of 4697 Completed TV anime at the time of this post. Watching countless anime for decades, even he is still far away from reaching 5000 TV anime which is what's proposed in that Google doc. Please, I strongly suggest that the gaps for the requirements be toned down. If that would be the same data which will be applied to each of these 6 entry type badges, then I believe I won't be the only user who would voice out their opinion regarding the impossible requirements. It can still be hardcapped at level 20 if you want along with the points given, but that absurd max requirement of 30000 is something that I just strongly disagree with, sorry. I'd like to propose a new list of entries but applying a few changes with the points acquired, because I also noticed that some of the higher levels have a smaller difference in amount compared with the levels preceding it. Example, the point difference between 11 & 12 is 15000 (40000 - 25000) while the point difference between 12 & 13 is 10000 (50000 - 40000). Huh, how come? ^_^; Without further ado, this is my own proposal for the future of the 6 badges for entry types:  I hope you would take this into consideration too, @Koito91 , pls? ^_^; This could also be applied for the entry types for Manga, but I don't think manga badges will be applied anytime soon. Besides, I'm too tired typing all my explanations tonight for this particular long walls of text. ^_^; |

Besides, I'm too tired typing all my explanations tonight for this particular long walls of text. ^_^; I was planning on changing these tables for the entry types (similar to yours), but I just need to find the exact amount of entries for each type as you can't really look them up. I still have a few tables left to add to the spreadsheet as well. So what's currently on there isn't entirely concrete atm |
| @_cjessop19_ It's fine, thank you. For this table of levels that I proposed, I just realized that it might not be entirely concrete for all entry types, as I just looked this up only considering the TV Fan badge. I currently have no idea how many total entries there are for OVAs, Movies, Specials, ONAs, and Music types in the anime database. Like, for example, there could be around 3500 anime movie entries available that have finished airing in the MAL database? So Movie Fan badge might be hardcapped at level 17 with 3500 as its max value. |
| Okay, using AWCc's website, I can estimate that there are roughly these amounts in the DB (to the nearest 50) based off the percentages from my list: TV: 7300 Movie: 4150 OVA: 4000 Special: 2500 ONA: 3200 Music: 2350 Roughly adding up to 23,500, which is very close to what the value is in the end of 2022 announcement post. @Koito91 Use this image below for the levels for each entry type  @LunyRem is this more suitable? |
