Simply put, the type of simple button that'll send you to a random item in the vast database that is MAL. Be it manga, OVA, a music video, ect.

This may be silly for most folks but I sometimes click the site open and just wish to go to a random listing but there's not real go way (aside from me just scrolling through interest stacks).

There's a way of sort of doing this, enter https://myanimelist.net/anime/YOURNUMBERHERE/ Putting a random number will give you a different anime each time

Would be a fun addition. 9anime has a randomizer but that's only for anime.

^ iirc crunchyroll used to have it but now it's gone, it's fun to just random roll something and see what you get esp with mal being a massive database.

The closest thing to that functionality is probably Spin.moe. There was also the Random Anime Picker but it's no longer working.

Yeah, we can just input random numbers here:

The Random button may be gone but the actual link still works (for now).

yeah i'm glad that you can still use the link even if it's not an official option anymore, hopefully CR forgets about it/never removes it so the feature secretly stays lmao

Are there any randomizer sites where we can input MAL's url and then it will give us a random page from MAL, like any page (character, people, studio, article, news, thread/post and so on) not just an anime or manga page? I wish there's something like that. Spin.moe only spins anime and manga pages.

Oh, thanks for the www.crunchyroll.com/random/anime link.

There is none like that I think, the best known is spin.moe but apparently it is random only with very well-known mangas, whenever I turn there, I get Berserk and one Piece and other very well-known ones, that page is already very suspicious

I did a similar thread here
https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=2248108

This is the best website I found (but it’s only for anime), you can choose to exclude anime in your mal lists which is cool
