I prefer MAL the way it was before. It doesn't need to keep on changing into a more modern style. The top bar is really ugly. The recommendations is a nice touch though.

Seems fine to me. At least the annoying PV section finally found a place. The huge empty space it takes up was an eyesore, glad they shrunk it.

Judging by the many discussions and forums I've seen, yeah, I think many people really REALLY care especially rankings.

And also I think they should notify us of these changes before making them. I like surprises, but I prefer they announced it first.

I can learn to live with it but it's

1)Useless since all of this is just stuff from below but with less info
2)Ugly cause it's just a big clumsy box
3)Badly structured cause seriously who cares that much about popularity, ranking and members to make them so huge compared to season/format/studio or almost anything else. Those things are not totally meaningless but not so much that I'd have it be the first thing I see.

This really wasn't needed lol. All that info is already on the sidebar and looks fine. It's pretty redundant having the sidebar PLUS this.... thing...

There's also way too much info on the main entry pages in general. Have shit like reviews/recommendations and episode info in seperate tabs. Those are what tabs are for. Maybe even PVs could go there.

Except when it is about the weighted system because having actually reasonable features might upset some idiots who are too dumb to rate Q_Q.

I dont mind it.

Sometimes I use the rating to determine whether I'll watch the show or not and to have it at plain sight is pretty convenient.

Are you blind or just lazy to scroll down 2 millimeters? Because rating was always in plain sight.

I am in fact too lazy to scroll down.

So this is a plus for me.

Wasn't the old design better for that? Before we had the show's ranking in the top right corner, easy to see, and now it's cluttered into a tab with a bunch of other information where it's not as easy to spot at first glance.

All that info is placed on the side anyways. lol
Perhaps another change coming soon then?


I wouldn't be useless if MAL had a weighted system like every sane ranking site has, but they are afraid that some stuff like SAO would be below rank 10000 then so they don't implement it so the feelings of plebs and idiots don't get hurt.

You didn't even have to scroll down, the rating was in the top right corner aswell.

The visual changes are always gonna upset people until it grows onto them, the same way it happened with adding extra reviews to the info page.

Rating aside, other info that may or may not be considered useful depending on the person, was also added.

I dont see why an inch of space consumption should be such a big deal.

If they are spouting the bullshit like "We appreciate your feedback" then they should at least listen to us.
Entry page was good as it was, with no need for similar chaotic change.
Sometimes simple is the best option.

Imho people wouldn't get this upset if they actually gave us alternative option instead of just shoving it down our throats.

Okay, I understand that there are always some circle-jerkers who jump on any horrible change but we're also members here so my opinion being dismissed with "you'll still get used to it" is making me lose all my love for this site, despite being here for almost 8 years already.

To jump the gun so quickly and say they they ignore feedback is a bit of a stretch.

I agree that some changes were a bit abrupt like the profile changes (with which I strongly disliked but became fond of over time), but there's also plenty to account for that can be considered beneficial as well, like the CD changes. Then there were those said circlejerks that disagreed with it and dealt with it their in their own way respectivley.

As a side note, what the hell is with this?

Not only is this ugly and the writing tiny and difficult to read, but clicking on a recommended title now takes you to a separate page with the actual text recommendations instead of that show's page, meaning it now takes two clicks to do what used to be done with one. Stupid.

Didn't notice this. Now this is bad.

It doesn't even pop up the additional info when your mouse hovers over it for about 2 seconds like it did previously.

How dare you suggest that MAL could possibly release a complete product that makes meaningful reform that users have been asking for!

i also said that many times, and Kineta even said that MAL have a testing site but its just not working as intended from the looks of it because seriously how many updates on MAL now have been like this when people complain of site update that is not fully functioning as intended on the first release? so ye like always this is a work in progress again
