| HB is fun, i did an intro and everyone has already accepted my supiriority on the site |

| Checked it out, imported manga and anime list, forum layout is utter garbage. 4/10 |

Drunk_Samurai said: So is Hummingbird any better now? They're adding a manga DB, I think. It's still bad though. |

| Better community than MAL |
| I made an account awhile back but I haven't updated it in months. Doubt I'll end up using it. |

| Hummingbird is a very very boring community, and the whole site is not snazzy at all. |
| It's interface looks overly complicated. |
| Someday I will become HB famous |
| You have to sign in just to use a lot of the features. F that also its missing a lot of anime and its slower. |

Plate said: It's shit, and they banned me from the forums for no reason, without telling me. Their database sucks and they very rarely update it. And the only reason to use it is the recommendations which are complete ass, they only give me stuff no one has ever watched that probably don't even have raws. I can't stand websites that ban me for no fucking reason. To hell with them. |

| If it garners a more mature crowd I might switch. |
 |
| I like the aesthetics on the site. That's about it |
| Nah,I´ve already made myself comfortable here. |
Flume said: only thing it does better than MAL is having Avatar in their database They should only have actual anime on there since it's supposed to be an anime site. Also do they still use that horrible pageless forum system? |
Kalisto said: If it garners a more mature crowd I might switch. I doubt it. I can see a lot of casuals who like pretty, oversized layouts hopping onto it though. |

| I'm to used to using MAL so switching over would just be tedious and kind of unnecessary. If I don't like what I see on the forums or the community I can easily just ignore it and keep to myself, only interacting with the people that I actually consider worth my time. |

| My eyes hurt from Hummingbird's design honestly, not only that but the forums settings seem like a kid's forum. MAL all the way |
| Hummingbird makes me feel like I'm using an apple product. Unlike MAL were I feel more like I have more freedom to customize things. You know what I mean? |

You can always change your MAL design anyways. For instance -> https://userstyles.org/styles/133545/mal-monochrome-modified -> https://userstyles.org/styles/126176/mal-monochrome |

| I've had a MAL account for years now and a HB account for a little while too. Hopped onto HB when MAL had an outage and a friend recommended HB to me. I currently maintain accounts in both places, though overall I think I prefer MAL. HB tries to incorporate some neat modern web design elements into it but the result is largely very mobile-oriented, and I don't use either site on a mobile device. MAL is a lot more keyboard-friendly. Also, when displaying my lists, MAL has a convenient page that just shows all my lists at once. HB forces everything into its own subpage, and there's also no way to shortcut to any particular sublist other than Currently Watching. As for the database, I prefer HB's by a hair, actually. I like how it gives the option for English-language titles (so I don't have to keep on remembering "Sen to Chihiro no Kamikakushi" is Spirited Away, or "Majo no Takkyuubin" is Kiki's Delivery Service, for example), and having "anime-inspired" shows like RWBY in the database is kinda handy since I do watch RWBY and do so just about as irregularly as I watch Japanese cartoons. The shortcut bar that puts recently-watched series on the top of one's Dashboard on HB is kinda neat, but kinda useless to me since I drift between series rather unsystematically. Even more dramatically, I recently threw everything off my Currently Watching list as part of a reorganization, so it's now even more useless to me (all it does is list the most-recently-added things, but those aren't necessarily the things I'm most likely to watch). The social features on HB are more in-your-face than on MAL, which is a double-edged sword. I ended up more or less tuning out MAL's forum and clubs, while on HB I did get very involved in the forums, but that also I meant I had to put up with a lot more people doing things like being really bitter about stuff. Also I think when I checked a couple years ago or so MAL tended to load faster than HB. HB is supposed to get a major update soon, going to version 3, but we're still waiting on that. Meanwhile I'm not too enthused about MAL getting bought out by this men's entertainment company, but...well, sometimes you gotta deal if you wanna see bills get paid. Applies double to anything one is enjoying for free...and that's certainly true of most websites that we use. |

| Hummingbird is a living meme nothing more. |
| Hummingbird is currently undergoing a move to a new site called kitsu.io , which seems to be the actual implementation of the vaunted "Hummingbird v.3" that's been discussed for a while now by its site devs. They say stuff is being moved and I should be able to log in using my Hummingbird login info but I can't and I can't even generate password reset e-mails. My userpage seems to be present but missing a good amount of my watching history as well as my entire library. I guess it's still in progress. |

| I used it for some time, but it was only through the app, and its was because it hard really precise airing times, with a second by second countdown. The forums are way to vanilla tho. Very boring. |

| Community is just as autistic. The UI for the website is 10x worse. |
| Well now I've watched some anime and Hummingbird can't be updated while MAL can, so here's to the first split between my lists since I joined HB a couple years ago or so. |

Can you not log into HB/Kitsu? Apart from a few bugs everything is working fine including the new manga database feeds. Forums are still seperate from the main site until the new groups come in. |
| My first time looking at it today. It looks prettier than MAL, but doesn't appear to have any of the personality. Plus all my favourite MALlers don't seem to have profiles so why switch? |

| Used it for like a week last year. The forum activity was dead and I wasn't into the status feeds. Not bad overall, but I prefer MAL. |

An Asian drama database will soon be introduced so I can finally keep tabs on my Toku stuff without using another site which is nice. |

Maybe it was "dead" if you expect responses within minutes, but in that case I'd suggest finding some IRC channels instead. |

| Seems I can log in now. They kinda missed porting some recent list updates. Most recent update for me is from the end of October, about two months ago. I could update it but now I'm trying to decide whether I want to bother. |

I've been on forums where there were three new topics in a month, and they're still going. TBH you don't really need new topics if there's still good stuff to talk about in the old ones. Though if you're not interested in the old ones, fair enough, I guess. |
