Oh no, not this crap again.
First was the search box which now is pretty annoying to use: before you had first the search box and then the dropdown to select the type of search, I used to start typing in the box, hit tab key to move to the drop down at right, select with the arrows for type of search and hit enter.
Now you have to type in the search box and then hit shift+tab to move to the previous element (the dropdown) at the left, select your choice and hit enter. A pretty dumb way of web designing yeah.

And now this change on every anime/manga entry, I now web is evolving and we can't have web designs from 2005 on a decent website nowadays , but please, those statics numbers ARE NOT IMPORTANT, they are even bigger that the font size used on your list status which I consider much more important than those irrelevant numbers and before the synopsis.
Also the placement, they should be at the bottom like in the left panel.

I guess, they are both just a list of thumbnails except one is a grid and leads you to stuff you might like based on cartoons you've seen while other is a line and leads you to why people think other cartoon is similar.

@Xinil
I understand that you guys want to improve how the site looks, but honestly you have to speed it up, and finish it at some point in the near future. Seems like the it's only way to have you guys concentrate on things that actually matter to active users.

Not sure how it looks on mobile, doesn't bother me that much here. It's cluttered right now but it'll probably get cleaned up eventually.





Great job trying to push some sort of illogical agenda with these egregious posts in a completely unrelated thread in spectacular SJW fashion.

This is just goddamn awful. No, I don't give a shit about what rating MAL's userbase gave an anime. I don't want to visit an anime or manga's page and have these stupid numbers thrown right in my face. I don't want to go to add an anime to my list and have MAL scream to me what a few thousand idiots rated that show. I can judge things for myself, thank you.

Also I don't respect people who use an MAL rating to decide whether or not they pick up an anime. And even if you do, all that "useful" information is right there in the sidebar, don't force it on me and everyone else like this.

Hahaha wtf is that on the top of the page
as if the anime details page wasn't a clusterfuck already gg

The thing is the old pop/rating infos synergised well with the verticality of the anime image, giving the same infos horizontally doesn't make any sense, plus it's obnoxious, and when you do obnoxious things of course people would push back in return.


The new images recommendations take less space, that's good though.

wrong choice of words for me there, what i mean is this is not its final form yet like the previous updates on MAL its still a work in progress so give it more time to see the complete version, i mean looking at the anime/manga pages right now the update looks out of place

I actually prefer the new recommendation system to the old one. There was never any rationale behind which person's recommendation was the one that showed up so having the text was meaningless anyway. Plus this way you get to see lots of them without taking up much space.

As for the stuff at the top... Well, it just means more stuff to block.

there is a trick
set a discussion as watched, enable notifications for every new message in the watched discussions, see your notifications explode
(pick any thread in the games forum which gets replies constantly)
there you go, you can feel popular now
oh, also never use the "mark all as read" button, that helps too, when you get a new one it becomes orange again with the total number

So yeah I think my biggest problem with this is what other people have said: nobody gives a flying fuck about userbase stats when they go to an entry page. Chances are they're looking for actual info on the anime.

Also in before all these complaints are completely ignored because the staff think people are just complaining about the design and that we don't appreciate their efforts.

Also, PVs need to go or at least need to be moved to another tab where they won't bother anyone. Not only are they hardly relevant enough to be frontpaged like that (not to mention region-blocked quite often and then it looks like some joke), they also make one third of the layout for manga look empty.
aren't they already into the "videos" tab?

agree i didn't like those being there before too, at least now there is only one....
and as much as i find those totally useless, i normally read the description to get an idea of the show/manga(and or inform myself with various other ways), i've actually seen some people going to the pv videos first thing they do once they come on an anime page of mal....
(i was like "what? aren't you reading the description? that is a promotional video, it doesn't show anything anyway" but it seems there do exist people who think a promotional video is an useful way to know about a serie ._. ...what a world we live in..)

(as if trends don't get old after two-five years anyway... they should have a big budget to be prepared to continue to work endlessy on a "modern" design which gets old after few years)

Don't like it either, at least if they made such big changes, which makes the outlook worse, since I can't see EVERY PV VIDEO on the anime page, I have to go to an other tab to see them, they could offer a choice for the users... This is not the first time a bad update was done without giving us a choice to pick :/ And they are all annoying

0K, MAL, thank you for reminding me of my really bad eyesight, I should be careful with that, I get it. Now, please, for the love of god, can you please, please move it somewhere lower, reducing it's size on the way? You know, MAL, it was actually quite rude to remind me of my disability in such a non-roundabout way. It hurt my feelings. I'm having a weak impulse to sue you for that.
But I like new Recommendations section. The only thing that slightly bothers me - can you, please, make it non-circling?

I think they are going to remove the sidebar and transition to the new one on top. They merely want us to see how it looks first, is how I think of all this. Then they remove the one on the bottom. I think the PV fits snugly in that space, better than having its own section with empty white space.
