Thanks for participating in our April Fools' joke everyone! I hope it was as much fun for you guys as it was for us :)
All of the edited cat images can be viewed in this imgur post. There are 191 pictures in total! So we made a collage at the top to make it easy to see which anime/manga were featured.
Hope to see y'all next April Fools~
In the last few years, manga has seen major growth overseas and more readers are born every day. Thanks to our active fan community, we even recently released the You Should Read This Manga list just the other day.
And see, this is where we became troubled. With the name "MyAnimeList," it seems we are sometimes mistaken for just an anime database. We want to say, "hey guys, you can also find manga here, too!" But what to do. "MyAnimeandMangaList" (MAaML) just doesn't flow the same...
Then it came to us. After 18 years, our brand needed a revolution. And in the age of the modern internet, what better than a kitty revolution.
Why the new emphasis on kitties, you ask? Our feline friends are an integral part of anime and manga culture. Refined, well-mannered, and fiercely independent, cats truly represent the ideals of our database administration.
You will notice three changes on the site as we move forward into 2023.
How can I help with this endeavour?
If you would like to contribute to our efforts to replace Anime/Manga images, we would greatly appreciate it! All you need is:
An anime key visual or manga volume cover
A sufficiently interesting feline picture
Image manipulation software (Photopea/PS/Gimp/Paint.net) and a little editing skill.
Once you have your edited picture, post it in this thread with a link to the entry.
If it fits well with our policy, we will update the entry to include your image~
I, for one, support this endeavor. Cats make everything better. And that new "Fruits Basket" image is hilarious, but not editing the cat over Kyo is a missed opportunity for obvious reasons.
EDIT: In honor of MyKittyList, I finally pulled out the cosplay I had bought months ago and had my new little guy try it on. As he was not about it and kept attempting to get it off, this photo was the best I could do:
Fun fact: He's named after a Jojo character, but I was really tempted to name him after Denji.
Tell me who you are and who you were
How much have you been paid?

Would you like to have something to drink?
"To tell you the truth, in this contract I don't care about anything but me"
"I just want the cash, transferred to my account"
Cause it'll make me feel alright
"I'm busy, dizzy, and lazy"
I got global eyes and a growing mind
"Above all, I'm wise and very well organized"
Made me a compromise
Watch me rise high for the last time
See how this connection works?
Information goes back and forth
I sit beside the windows and all I do is watch the shadows grow longer"
"Linger, for better, you'll never know what internal decadence means"
He's got an opinion and posted suggestion but never reveals his name
"Read by someone, taken as a good one but nobody knew who wrote it"
Few lines of the sentence lie
Anonymity annoying me all the time
"It's like a '2 channel', where people just throw their anger"
And forget about those foul actions
"You are driving an expensive car, expectancy, supremacy"
You're out of control; the troll is waiting down below
You still lack in experience
"Too bad, too close, too late to notice where you are"
There's no other way
"Dependency to the tendency, occasionally you misunderstood"
"Living the life of mediocrity? Hypocrisy, legitimacy"
Go over it or game over now?
Is this a place to shine?
"Say, 'down' to it or drown by it
It's your turn to throw the dice
Tell me who you are and who you were

"Do you know about cats?
Cute ears that wiggle sensitively...
Tails that wag expressively, responding to emotions...
Attached to a bipedal creature to the utmost charm...
Do you like cats like that?
If so, please visit this patisserie.
The cutest cats you've ever seen await you here!"

So, this year, it's cats, huh? Well, I like cats, and kind of wish this was an actual change! lol I think Webtoons had also added cats to their comics last year on April 1. Or, I might be getting things mixed up.
