| Since Chinese anime (donghua) is on the rise it might be a fun idea to make an achievement for that! |
| @Tenderizer17 — we will consider it. @Miss-x-larie — unfortunately, donghua are simply too incendiary a topic. There is a lot of debate about whether or not they count as "real" anime, among other things, and at this time we would strongly prefer to remain neutral in the discussion. I am afraid that we will have to reject your suggestion. ^^; |
| @EMPERATRIX i totally understand, thank you for your consideration! |
— Grouping anime into franchises in the Favorites tab. reason: pointless implement; they are already grouped as such in the main tab. I understand if this is too hard to implement but this is not pointless at all. My intention when i suggested this to the old google moderator page is to reduce the impact of franchises with a lot of entries (for example, Gainax and KyoAni have a low rating in my favourite page because they did a lot of specials i rated low, while the opposite is true for Deen). Though this would come with its own slew of issues, it would be interesting to see how your top favourites change with 1 franchise = 1 entry (instead of the current 1 franchise = 2-100 entries). It always felt like such a waste to me that franchises groupings are never used anywhere else. — A filter/option to hide studios with 1~5 entries in the "Favorite Studios" section of the Favorites tab to avoid "cluttering". reason: a pointless implement. The most this would accomplish is a shortening of the page, which is rather short to begin with. The intention of this suggestion was so you can more easily tell which are the "real" studios, because once you get a big enough list, a lot of weird "studios" with 1 entry will populate the list. Though this is not such a problem anymore since MAL separated studios, producers and licensors. Like for example, the production comittee of Mirai Nikki has its own page for some reason https://myanimelist.net/anime/producer/713/12_Diary_Holders — Implementing a compatibility function that would let you find users of the highest compatibility. Well, animeadvice is down now and im sure there are a lot of users who miss itreason: a pointless implement that requires too many server resources. Why pointless? Because MAL automatically displays your compatibility when you're on an user's profile, and furthermore, as the very suggester pointed out, there's already a website (animeadvice) that does this (allows you to find users of the highest compatibility) for you. If you're so keen on this function, visit it. The graph is not a dating service. Since MALgraph has the anime list data, it could calculate your top compatibility with MALgraph users at least. |

| Some of the names of the achievements awarded for reading Yaoi and Shounen-ai don't have gender neutral names. Having the term "Fujoshi" in them implies that only women read BL, but that's not true. I know I'm probably asking for a lot here, but if the names of BL achievements could be gender neutral, like "Full Fledged BL Fan" instead of "Full Fledged Fujoshi" for example, it would be very much appreciated. |
 |
| @Seiya — while we appreciate your sentiments, we do not see a reason for the name change. The humor in the achievement names comes from fujoshi stereotypes, for one thing, and for another, while we are aware of the existence of fudanshi (male shounen-ai fans), they, as well as other non-female-aligned fans of the genre, represent a minority. Hence, the achievements will remain as they are. ^^ |
| @romagia — I do not have time to give you an answer as in-depth as I would like, so I hope these few bullet points will be satisfying enough: ♢ bear in mind that the franchise grouping is rather wonky as is, and implementing it in the favorites tab would generate a whole slew of new issues that we simply do not have the manpower to fix, for one thing; for another, it is rather pointless. please bear in mind that not everyone is you, and not all people love all entries in a franchise equally. I frankly do not even want to think about all the complaints I would have to answer then; ♢ the filter for studios would be both troublesome and, again, in my opinion, quite pointless. plus, I assume that after a point a person is acquainted well enough with the medium to know which are the "real" studios, as you put it. ♢ it's too bad about animeadvice and perhaps we will reconsider this point in the future, but for now things will remain as they are. For a switch in gears, and pardon the lack of diacritics, but suntem trei persoane cu vieti personale si facem chestia asta pe gratis. Daca ar fi sa implementam schimbari dupa cererile fiecaruia, ar exista o versiune a graph-ului pentru fiecare utilizator. Cu toata stima, nu ne cere mai mult decat putem da din pura comoditate. Cheers! |
| About franchises grouping, it seems you misread my point if you reached the conclusion that i love all entries equally, and i also think complaints would not arise if the table with franchise scores is kept separated from the one with all entries score. But yea i get it that its hard to implement, and would be mainly relevant for people like me who watch a lot of specials. The old dev used to make more frequent changes to MALGraph and he made it seem like changing stuff is easy Thanks for answering |

| I can see yaoi and yuri are denied but what about shoujo ai and shounen ai, or even a combined achievement for the both? A way to bring attention to queer works? It doesn't even have to be based off genre specifically - you could have an achievement based off famously queer or noteably queer anime. Like how NGE made huge splashes despite not actually being part of one of the genres. RGU, No. 6, etc, famous queer works that don't have a genre grouping like the above categories. |
| @Claptrap — respectfully, you...do realize that shoujo ai and shounen ai are in essence the same thing as yuri and yaoi, yes? Just more...“family-friendly”, i.e. lacking in explicit content? And that their target audience is not LGBTQA+ people? As for “notoriously queer” works: these are largely a matter of opinion. To use your own example, Kaworu expressing a romantic / sexual interest in Shinji does not make NGE is a “queer” work, much less aimed at LGBTQA+ people, which queer fiction and derived media are by definition. And as someone who identifies as such, it is a sad truth — but anime is not exactly a progressive medium. ^^; So no, there will unfortunately be no such achievement, as there is next to nothing we can build it upon. |
EMPERATRIXApr 20, 2019 5:53 AM
| @emperatrix I am aware but the difference you list is important. It seems that via MAL's way of listing it the difference is integral as the difference between romance vs hentai. Where I can understand yaoi and yuri being excluded from achievements because they are essentially porn, I can't understand the same being applied to shounen ai and shoujo ai. Furthermore you could combine them. With NGE, it just had such an influence on all works to follow in the community. It's historically important media for the community. Not debating, but that's it's relevance. The idea was weeks that touch on queer themes. Anime is not progressive and I'm well aware, which is why I wanted to highlight artists who do try. Ikuhara being famous, or something like Hourou Musuko that falls outside categories. I understand that involves enough subjectivity that it might be impossible to apply though. I just wanted the idea to be considered, at least. |
| Suggestion: This may seem excessive, but when we export the list and can customize with colors. Is it possible to add a feature in which we can set values in the form of RGB or HEX numbers to set our colors rather than using the color wheel? |
 |
| @Claptrap — you misunderstand; the problem isn't just the porn. What I am trying to tell you is that you're asking us to make a queer achievement built entirely around works that are queer-baiting or, at their worst, fetishistic depictions of sexual / romantic minorities. Which honestly we cannot in good conscience do. Even if we were to disregard such qualms, there is another problem:  MAL simply does not have enough works listed in those genres to begin with, even if we were to combine them. (And, before it is brought up: a custom list is wholly out of the question. We lack both the manpower and the masochism required to curate such a list, considering the flame wars that would inevitably arise.) While your suggestion is doubtlessly well-meaning, it just is not something that we can do. @MechKingKillbot — we have archived your suggestion and will discuss to see if it can be implemented. :] |
EMPERATRIXApr 20, 2019 2:16 PM
EMPERATRIX said: @MechKingKillbot — we have archived your suggestion and will discuss to see if it can be implemented. :] Thanks! I appreciate the work you guys do |
|
| @Emperatrix Things that have textual queerness are not queerbaiting. That completely defies the term. I would also heavily disagree with calling Ikuhara works or Hourou Musuko or the suggestions I've listed fetishistic works around minorities OR queerbaiting. There is a heavy difference between a work trying to get away with including queer material in a heavily censored environment versus queerbaiting. It's fine if you won't do it. I understand the difficulties you are discussing. I do think the amount of works in both shounen ai/shoujo ai are increasing per year though, and a significant genre like this is worth discussion just due to both the passionate fans and the significant amount of vitriol it receives on the other side (unlike other smaller genres, these are genres that people feel VERY strongly about) but I can accept the reasoning of not enough works. It just really annoys me you would list what I am talking about as pure queerbait/fetish material when I am talking about something else. It's just completely misleading to take that as a moral stance when you have an achievement for watching extremely shock fetishistic shota porn. Not because I care that you have that as an achievement, but implying that what I am asking for is some immoral infringement and that all the works I'm advocating for all fall under some heinous category of being too unethical to advocate for as fiction with queer themes or having historical importance to people within the community... when you have a Boku no Pico achievement. That's hypocritical. |
ClaptrapApr 20, 2019 3:55 PM
| @Claptrap — it's two in the morning I'm entirely too tired to keep discussing this, so this is the last reply you are getting. Accuse us of hypocrisy if you must; the Boku no Pico achievement was and is a fucking meme, a legacy one at that, and at the very least it's honest. The medium is depraved; the casual watcher is depraved; we've all seen some shit and then inflicted it on our friends. If the point was to award people for watching shock shota porn, we would have awarded them for watching Enzai. You keep bringing Ikuhara up — which I am assuming refers to Kunihiko Ikuhara. Have you ever actually paused to consider the text and subtext of his major work? You can argue that Revolutionary Girl Utena contains "textual queerness", and I will not deny that it does; but please do not try to act as though it is not presented through a fetishistic lens, as is the incest. Kindly do not try to take a swing at me, or at us as a team, for a ~problematic~ achievement. That is hypocrisy, too. Admittedly, Hourou Musuko is, for example, an exception. When I said the genre is by and large fetishistic, or perhaps better said voyeuristic in its lite forms, I was generalizing — and, for the record, Hourou Musuko is categorized as Seinen. Utena does not even have the Shoujo Ai tag. This is why I said the matter is convoluted and would require a custom list. Possibly too late to say this, but please do not misunderstand me: I am not trying to vilify anything. I am simply saying that the medium has very little to offer to queer people, and while some of the shows you mentioned have historic importance for the medium as a whole, I remain skeptical of their importance as LGBTQA+ fiction, because their status as such is dubious at best. That was my whole argument. Have a great week. |
| Assuming I haven't considered the text and subtext of Ikuhara's work when I advocate for him so strongly is condescending. I'd like to say very few people have thought about the body of Ikuhara's work as strongly as I have, but a lot of people have - it's provoked lots of thoughtful commentary. I strongly disagree on your thoughts on Ikuhara and I typed up my reasoning, but this is a convoluted topic I don't want to argue on (mainly because an argument on Ikuhara's work specifically doesn't belong in this thread). I'd just have to agree to disagree completely and disagree strongly. I took a swing because your previous statement in isolation did just read as claiming any depictions of queerness in anime are inherently wrong or bad and that other queer people are foolish to care when you don't. That's what your previous comment amounted to. How is it hypocritical to imply this, when your comment implied moral issues first? Certainly, I have no issue with you including Boku no Pico. I have issue with you including Boku no Pico and then implying I have poor morals and am a bit daft for talking about queerness in anime or for it being an important subject to me. 'You don't know what you're talking about but have good intentions', is how your previous post reads. I understand these achievements not being viable, but you've been talking down to me since I suggested them. If you are not trying to vilify anything, then there isn't much to say on that. That's good. That's just not how your previous comments come across. You are queer, and I am as well. I obviously have a very different opinion than you, and have found a lot of queer people do. You have likely also found people who agree with you. Your opinion is not wrong, obviously, when you say the medium has very little to offer you. But having been active in many blog sites that analyze anime with queer themes, I feel a lot of anime touches on the topic more often than western media, and has done so from an earlier time period. A lot of queer people have taken a lot of meaning from these stories - even with heavy censorship, many children first experienced their very first queer themes in media through Sailor Moon or Cardcaptors, and could catch them through heavy censoring. I just feel like it's slightly dismissive of the feelings of other people in the community to claim it has nothing to offer, especially when, for many of us, anime was the first depictions we could ever find of ourselves - whether that is imperfect or not. Things like RGU have also strongly influenced western media and depictions of queerness within, and have had far reaching effects. If you want to drop this topic thread, that's fine. But I feel this reply is necessary. |
| in regards to the game achievement in order to get it you need 400. this achievement has two catagories, source: game (733) and source: visual novel (918). 1651 together at 24% is about 396 which makes sense. However, fun fact out of the both of these there is a total of 594 anime catagorised as hentai. this means that hentai accounts for about 36% of the entire list. This is not a complaint, but rather an interesting observation. For visual novels alone it unsurprisingly accounts for 64% of the source. Removing hentai there is still over 1,000 anime that can be watched Also my calculation did not remove the 70 odd anime which are yet to air. So if you want to get this achievement H free you have under 1,000 anime to choose from. As a comparison with the romance achievement there are about 1700 odd anime with this genre, 45 of which are hentai meaning that only around 2% of romance anime is H. comparing this to the 36% of the game acheivement is kinda crazy. Again this is not a criticism as no one really has to have the achievement but it is interesting (or would be interesting) to note how most people get to level max on this acheivement. The easiest way appears to be to just watch H but the pure option is still available as there is still over 900 anime to watch it only means you have to watch almost half of that. The game acheivement max is probably one of the hardest to get due to the sheer depth of the sources part of me feels that VN's and games should be split due to most vn's being porn but as they are both 'games' it would be wierd to split them, the only reason I would advocate a split would be due to games being generally non h and vn's being mostly H. I can see a VN achievement being far too similar to the ecchi/H achievement but it would be funny to give the game achievement a percentage of ecchi/porn within the catagory to see how depraved the users got to get the acheivement. that would be pretty funny Game: 70% depraved etc.. Not really expecting a response, but thought i would let people know of this observation an see what other people think about this lol |
| Memento Mori. |
| The Game achievement already HAS hentai included in it. |
Z6890 said: The Game achievement already HAS hentai included in it. I wouldn't have made this post otherwise, what my suggestion was to see how much of a person's game acheivement is hentai |
| Memento Mori. |
| Recommendation: I have noticed that in regard to the order in which achievements appear for the max level, you have the back background with a single image. However they are not all together, some are further down. As such, my recommendation is that all level based acheivements be put together, seperate from the single achievements with the exeption of course being total anime completed count. |
| Memento Mori. |
| In the missing titles of your profile on Graph you should make it also include others and character related anime |
| @EIIER: Those were specifically removed due to crossovers creating massive lists of totally unrelated anime under missing titles section. |
| @Half_Bl00d there should be something in graph like another section just for the others and charters then, because some people (like me) like to have every related anime on there list ( I guess its just kinda a OCD thing) |
EIIER said: @Half_Bl00d there should be something in graph like another section just for the others and charters then, because some people (like me) like to have every related anime on there list ( I guess its just kinda a OCD thing) I feel this is unnecessary, if you are interested in a certain character you can simply use MAL to search anime that that character is credited for. Also the missing titles section was created to help people find anything they were missing in a given series ie. movies, pv's. OVA's etc. An idea like related character might seem like a good idea if your list is relatively small but a larger list will have crossover after crossover and would be inundated with wildly unrelated anime. I understand that some (like you) are completionists who want to watch everything of a given series, however, the majority of people would want to use this function probably to find something 'related' that they might enjoy. A use case would be for the character 'kaguya hime' many would know this character from the ghibli movie by the same name, however by adding related characters you would include the the kaguya hime from 1961 and the hello kitty crossover, neither of which are anything to write home about. Also the missing titles actually seems to have both of these unrelated titles as missing titles for the ghibili movie (funnily enough). |
| Memento Mori. |
| @EIIER, @animeno: Just like animeno mentioned, that is unnecessary. And, from my personal experience with an EXTREME completionist OCD, if you need to have anything related to the show, just look at the show entry itself and all the relations. It's all there, just put in some effort. Character and Other relations cause a huge issue for the recommended graph that can sometimes span in 100+ completely unrelated entries clogging it. |
| I can't remember if this was ever brought up anywhere, but I'm just wondering why it is franchises start being listed/counted at two entries? Wouldn't it make more sense to have them start being listed after three or four entries, or is this automatic and nothing can be done about it? |
  |
| @Lil-Bird: That was predetermined by the creators of the first graph. I don't know if it can be changed but there is really no reason to. Personally I don't see the problem with that. Anything that has more than one entry by definition constitutes as a franchise. |
| I couldn't see if this had been suggested before. Sorry if it has On the MalGraph Website, the total episode amount as well as on the days watching achievement doesn't include re-watches. On MAL, my episode count is over one thousand more than on MalGraph due to this. I also have about another 20 days for amount of time watched on MAL than on the MalGraph Would it be possible to change both of those so that they include the Re-Watched Amount? Thanks :) |

| Hi, I really like this app. I want to suggest adding a section "completion by year" like that by month to see easily how many anime I've seen every year. Thanks for everything. |
 |
| Not sure if this have even been brought up, but an achievement for Vampires/Demons for Anime alike there is for Manga. The same goes for the other achievements that either only the anime section or the manga section has. |

7kaneki7 said: Not sure if this have even been brought up, but an achievement for Vampires/Demons for Anime alike there is for Manga. The same goes for the other achievements that either only the anime section or the manga section has. I think this is a fine idea, together demons/vampire make around just under 600 anime so its definitly got enough to warrant an acheivement, however at the same time I feel that the manga got it as an a achievement as there tends to be alot more of it there i.e. around 900. Personally I like the idea. For other manga exclusive acheivements such as Yaoi/BL/Shounen Ai there generally isnt nearly as much in anime. BL is probably one of the biggest manga genres at the moment so its there for a reason, currently shounen ai and yaoi make up around 6000 manga, compared to the 130 or so shounen ai/yaoi anime. Not really enough to warrant a acheivement for anime. Without repeating myself the shoujo ai/yuri manga has a similar issue, where there is a lot of manga but very few anime. Those are really the only other manga exclusives so basically i'm all for demon/vampire but yaoi/yuri acheivements probably wouldn't work Alternatively making yet another genre related acheivement, may open the flood gates to every other genre, however with some getting cut out because there isnt enough to warrant a level 4 acheivement... |

| On acheivement suggestions, maybe a bit niche, but i've noticed that kana hanazawa is in a lot of shows, in fact she might be in enough that an acheivement could actually be made, I don't expect this to happen as it is rather out of left field but it would be a bit of a meme nonetheless. FYI there are around 180 - 200 credits to her name so its doable lol Not really sure if seiyuus would count, I mean there are meme acheivements i.e. BNP and School Days but maybe this is too niche, I guess you'll just have to give an acheivement for giving IR a 10/10 xD. |
| Memento Mori. |
| @7kaneki7: @animeno: just to clarify things: Manga counterparts for the anime-only achievements are already in plan (you can see that in the suggestions compilation thread). As for the Demons/Vampire anime achievement, while it's not been planned, it's not impossible. The total for those two genres is pretty much the same as the total for Horror/Thriller. While it was not brought up so far, we will discuss it. As for the yaoi/yuri anime achievements, those were explicitly rejected (as stated in the compilation thread). People-related achievements are explicitly rejected too in the thread. |
| @Half_Bl00d I forgot that the other stuff was already mentioned XD It will be nice those are implemented sometime soon :D I hope the discussion for Demons/Vampire goes well too ^o^ |
|
| I thought as much, regarding people, thanks for the clarification :) |
| Memento Mori. |
| Are there enough Police/Military series now to create an achievement around them? I know before there weren't enough series to be able to, but Military has over 500 now which may be enough for an achievement |
|
| I've been using malgraph for a couple of years now, it's really useful, thank you. One feature I like is how you can use custom colors for the rating distribution image. I would really appreciate if you could add an option to have a transparent background like in the first five presets. I and lots of my friends use a dark skin for MAL, a lot people don't, some use different themes, and I want everyone to see the image without borders regardless of how the website looks on their end. Edit: I've finally found a way to achieve this. I don't think anyone else actually cares, but if you do and want the whole explanation, just mention me in this thread. |

Biglulu said: Populate the "anime completion date" for the History tab using the history record from MAL (found in Edit Anime > History link beside Episodes Watched) so that manual inputting of end dates isn't necessary. They would need to access your account to do that, and a lot of people don't update their list immediately or add anime they watched years ago, so it wouldn't be accurate anyway. Your list isn't that big, you could check every history you have and add the missing dates in a few hours. |
| Might as well throw out a suggestion myself to contribute here. Thought of an achievement called "Know your ABCs." The gist of this would be that you need to watch at least one (or more perhaps) anime for each letter of the alphabet and the numbers (collectively), creating a minimum of 27 anime. The restriction would be that it has to have a minimum of 26 episodes total for each anime listed. This means that you would need to watch 702 episodes at the very least to get this achievement, so despite the low number of anime it isn't necessarily as easy to complete. Of course there are a few series where the watch time is shorter, but just a fun thought that came to mind that could be expanded upon, not sure if this has been suggested before or not. |

| @DerMensch24: actually something similar has been suggested before and is currently on consideration. Though your version sounds interesting too. |

| [align=center][/align] |
| Should the descriptions for Mecha levels 2 and 3 be updated? They reflect quantities of titles that're no longer valid. Level 2: "After watching over 59 mecha anime you should be able to build your own mobile suit. Remember not to kill the rest of us." Level 3: "Having watched over 118 mecha anime, you've probably became a robot already. Nice job, hero." The current numbers appear to be 65 and 129. I'd suggest changing them to something less specific, like: "After watching this much mecha anime, you should be able to build your own mobile suit. Remember not to kill the rest of us." "With all the mecha anime you've watched, you've probably become a robot already. Nice job, hero." DerMensch24 said: 26 seems like a bit much, considering that no other achievement (besides Long Runners and Long and Hard) even has any minimum episode requirement. There's virtually no option for the letter Q, aside from some Chinese ONAs that may or may not be translated or accessible.Might as well throw out a suggestion myself to contribute here.

Perhaps requiring 2-3 titles per letter would offset the removal of episode minimums, and make completing the badge more challenging. |
