Not sure what this means for the future of mal. Everytime I see blockchain stuff it is usually a youtuber getting hacked. Not exactly reassuring.
As for my #1 request
Option of seperating mal scores by sex
Also list sex of the source material creator

My suggestions:
1) On character/anime/manga/industry pages, let us see the list of users who favourited them.

2) Give us the option to choose any pictures for entries (for example, I hate X character’s default picture so I change it to another one)

3) Give us the ability to edit our club comments.

4) Bring back comment pages for people, and add them to characters as well.

yall arguing writing novels on threads on mal in 2025 need to put the fedora down and go outside and inhale air and absorb sunlight. that was painful to read
plus the blatant sexism on this site is wild. who cares who owns the site, your life will go on. smh literally one of the comments on here is asking to seperate/sort scores and reviews by gender/sex

I know it won‘t happpen, but here‘s what I would like:

1. Keep the UI as it is
2. Return 1-10 stars rating for reviews, not „recommmended“, „not recommended“
3. Return comment section for seiyuu.
4. It would be nice if you could see the dates of when you added or completed a anime.

You already can do this but the dates do not automatically set in every circumstance which means they may all be blank for you or just some of them filled in.

Check
"Start/end dates"

Change is scary, seeing the direction the internet has been heading this last decade can't help but make me worried. I sure hope everything will end up going well though.
MAL has been one of the last places on the internet i still love going back too, editing my list and profile, doing events and of course reading the forums is always super enjoyable.
So i really hope the UI and the forums of MAL won't be changed, however i wouldn't complain if the mobile app got some more love.

Let's hope for more great years here on MAL, if this place dies i'm gonna start recording my anime history by carving stone tablets like the viking i'm supposed to be :)

It'd be nice to have the light novels be their own category rather than clutter up the manga category. This might be a two birds one stone proposition because one way to help make this happen would be to modernize how the website is organized.

Never do NFT/Gen-AI cancer bullshit.
This said, you don't have to touch the already perfect web UI, what really needs improvement are the app UI and UX. The app is totally useless for the moment, except when you don't have a computer nearby and need to keep track on smth

It will be cool if it have an unified entry for an anime with multiple seasons or multiple movies.
I mean that IT IS COOL, that we have separate entries for a series, BUT it will cool as well if we have an unified entry combining all of the entries.

For exemple: we have 3 separate entries for the Fairy Tail anime:
Fairy Tail, with 175 episodes
Fairy Tail (2014), with 102 episodes
Fairy Tail: Final Series, with 51 episodes
And it will be cool if we have a separated entry, with those 3 on the exemple, that is just like: Fairy Tail, with 328 episodes. Since it adapt the same source material.

The same with movies, like the Digimon Adventure tri 6 movies, you can rate then and have then splited in your list, BUT, it will be really cool if you have the option to just have one entry with, the 6 movies, and just put this one entry that it already represents all the movies alone.

Did you say AI/blockchain?!?!
Technology is a tool. Tools can be used for good (mmm yummy lunchmeat) or bad (oh no not my arm!)

...Okay, that analogy is a bit morbid and we're still 5 months away from Halloween.

I understand that much of the community feels one or more of the following: NFTs are scams, generative AI is killing artists' livelihoods, blockchain is killing the planet, web3 is a pipe dream!

I'm not trying to say those opinions or concerns are invalid. What I'm trying to say is, just because a parent company explores using those technologies, doesn't mean those technologies are suddenly going to end up on MAL.


Riiight. It's not like every company who has been exploring AI and Blockchain has been shoving it unethically into everything lately.

I agree that technology is merely a cool, but I do not see any evidence that corporations using that tool have the best interests of people at heart. This entire situation bodes badly for the future of MAL and is a shame to see.

I'm guessing it's too much to ask for, but my one wish is for the site to be left alone.

@Netbug Same, pretty much.

Whatever the owner company mods or whoever else has to say to the contrary, I don't really have any doubt whatsoever that if anything user-made in this website is useful in any capacity to their fucking AI shit, it'll be taken, with or without the users' consent because that's literally the only way AI can function. Truly doesn't bode well for this place but I guess it can only get worse from here on out.

I find it to be a very harmful attitude, [...] you can't rationally discuss a product because you've started to define yourself by its very existence."

I actually like how MAL is currently. The simple UI is something I like about it. The only thing I want to see added is a section for visual novels to keep track of what I've read and such.

I’m an old enough otaku to remember when MyFigureCollection mods said: “We will not be removing lolicon figures or other ‘problematic’ figures just because Karens complain”.

One year later petitssk one of the mods did exactly that and provided 0 reason other than “site owners” (nobody knows who they are but the are likely some sort of company such as crunchyroll [sony] or related) wanted it done, and purged over a decade of photos, posts, articles, reviews, etc of loli figures that can never ever ever be recovered. They deleted years of western otaku internet history. Without warning.

Don’t do that.

Remember people who use the internet should be adults and they can choose what to interact with or not. If someone doesn’t want to see shotashit, don’t search up boku no pico. Don’t remove the entry for it to appease to the wokies, feminists and Christians that have recently tried to take over the otaku community.

That all being said the company is Japanese so I feel more comfortable. Don’t censor shit, don’t go woke and don’t ruin the UI.

AND PLEASE do not remove the ability for people to customize and code their lists with html and all that. It’s one of the few places left on this godforsaken modern internet where people can express some sort of creativity which is what being an otaku is all about.

MAL database is essentially dead when it comes to manga, new entries are pending for years and years, I used to think it wasnt the same case for Anime series, but it pretty much is. There needs to be better database moderation and if you have some rules on what is accepted and what isnt those should be followed instead of individuals making arbitrary desicions & making new rules on the spot

Also some rules are pretty ridiculous (professionally produced stop motion not accpted if the characters are not handcrafted WTF?) etc.

My request is regarding a recent issue - please simply allow us to permanently navigate MAL via web on desktop mode, if we so desire. For the past few weeks, it has been unreliably reverting to mobile mode at every step. It's dysfunctional.

Exactly. Not only they have 12 mods for manga etc but also 3 - 4 of them do their job properly ... months or years after when they remember they are mods on this website. And the rest of mods either they refuse to spend time working on book series of a certain categories(hentai, erotica, ecchi etc) or just don't care. They need to promote that they need more mods or hire professional which I highly doubt it will happen.

Nearly every time a website gets sold, it gets run into the ground by new ownership. User experience degrades, but it's still profitable because network effects keep people from leaving.
I'm not leaving yet - I'm not immune to those effects - but I have zero optimism right now.
