Here’s my anilist
MAL really needs to be updated, but it is kaydotkey
Ended up moving over from MAL after their whole nazi kerfuffle to Kitsu because that’s where some of my friends went. Don’t really watch as much anime as I used to, but recently a friend convinced me to watch a bunch of old fighting game adaptations with him, so there’s that at least.
I tried moving to kitsu, but the import function seems to have broken? This may be because my list is far too long, but that’s what you get when you are old and have been watching anime for many years.
Anyway, here’s my MAL.
I guess I’m a fairly casual anime fan relative to these other posts, but I like to think I have good taste. You’ll notice there aren’t a lot of recent series, as I’m more interested in going through the “classics”. Currently watching Yu Yu. Here’s the list
Oh uh hm, I guess I got one of those. Pwease no judgey for stuff I may have been watching as many as 9 years ago.
Yeah, I know, I’m using all 3 - I can’t make up my mind.
EDIT: By way of explanation - AniList has a really good notification system for telling you what’s coming up - Kitsu has a really good UI and I have friends who use that. MAL has an open enough API that it’s got people who have set stuff up for gamification of you watching anime through achievements, combined with the ability to have episode and chapter specific comment threads. The threads aren’t always good, but it’s nice to have them so you can talk to other people who are watching a show.
I particularly appreciated this when I was watching Genius Party and Genius Party Beyond, because some of the shorts got some really interesting conversations going on around them.
A friend of mine was curious so I dug up my old MAL account from… a long time ago and added the stuff I’ve watched since.
Here.
Theres some stuff on there I regret wasting my time on, but hey I was young.
Also nothing is rated and there are shows I either dropped or haven’t finished on here, but I’d rather have everything I’m done with in one alphabetical list.
E: Switched over to Kitsu after @straysheep’s posts! Here
Well I suppose I’ll also throw mine up here.
I use Taiga to auto-update it, so I haven’t checked it in a while. Unlike everyone else on this thread, I DO want you to judge my taste in anime because there are some there that I can spend hours talking about. Literal hours defending, analyzing, or critiquing. I once wrote a real long post on the themes of Psycho Pass to counteract someone who was misrepresenting it so…yeah.
Anyways, I haven’t had time to watch a lot of anime recently. Video games took precendence for a little while there.
Am I a monster for manually transcribing my anime watchlist from MAL to an Evernote titled “Watching All By Myself” (to be mentally sung to the classic Eric Carmen tune we all know and love)?
I used MAL for years but quit after their nazi shit, thankfully I had already mirrored everything on Kitsu
Please explain as I am unaware of any controversy surrounding MAL. I don’t really follow anywhere that talks anime.
One of their contributors had written an article called “10 Anime And Manga About Kicking Nazi Ass” and someone completely edited it to be gentler in tone and the article became “11 Anime and Manga Featuring Nazis”
Plus the forums/userbase there have been full of far right wing crap for years now and the admins don’t do anything about it, so that + the edit to that article and I was over that site. I still use it as a resource sometimes, but I don’t log in any more.
Oh my goodness, I had no idea. Well I probably will be transferring over to Kitsu now. Thanks for the heads up!
I have to admit, I’m new to the forum, and in seeing someone post about “nazi shit”, I had my usual initial Facebook reaction of “Oh God, please don’t tell me this person is about to stand up for Nazis in this context”… And then after reading your post I remembered where I was, and how nice it is that while I assume not everyone agrees on everything here politically, at least I can expect not to see the alt-right garbage that makes up so much of the internet now. So thank you for that lol.
May as well link this even though I constantly forget to update it/forget I even have it: Megabattimus on Anime Planet.
I like anime a whole lot but of all the things I like, it’s the one I push aside and neglect the most. The only thing more neglected is Tokusatsu and my book shelf full of books I really want to read but constantly find reasons not to start. I don’t really know why that is, cause every-time I watch anime I’m like “I should watch more of this” and then I inevitably don’t. Like I started Yu Yu Hakusho a couple of days ago and I’m really enjoying it, but I’m already bracing myself for the day I forget about it and anime in general for months on end. I hate being me sometimes.
here is the anime that i, waypoint forums user hideokojima, have watched, thank u https://anilist.co/user/TheSimpsons/animelist
Been watching a lot anime recently so i’d thought i’d revive this thread if anyone wants to share their anime lists.
