MAL Alternative?

[Xykros]

Pretty much everyone who uses MAL is aware that sone functions are currently missing from the site and that kinda bothers me enough to wanna switch to another website that tracks anime like it does. Do you guys have any recommendations?

Well, the only alternative I know of is anidb.

Kitsu.io, formerly Hummingbird.io

Anilist is a pretty solid alternative. Haven't tried anything else just yet, but I do like how the list is formatted there.

I use animenewsnetwork. It's fully featured alright

Its interface is clunky, awkward, inefficient, can't be used easily on mobile... but after inputting 600 or so anime in there I'm not interested in moving to something else.

I personally use Kitsu.io because I've difficulties running Anilist smoothly. But if you use either of those two and watch anime with a player rather than via streaming, for convenience's there's also the software Taiga allows you to keep easier automatic track of the anime you're watching and the episodes you're on. It's been running decently for me so far with only a couple issues occasionally.

Recommending it in case you're like me and you only remember to update your lists every two months...

Oh really? It seems fine to me. What I mainly about it is how you can get updates for ongoing anime you're watching whenever a new episode comes out. Granted, I do have RSS to fall back on so it's not too bad, but it's still nice to have an extra source, especially since RSS doesn't tell you the specific episode you're currently on.

I'll give Taiga a look sometime though. I usually update my list every time I watch anime, but I wouldn't mind having something like that on hand to automate the process. Thanks!

I never understood why people used MAL. I just keep a notepad document and write any anime I watched on that. Been doing that for years

It eliminates the risk of data loss.

Doesn't really eliminate it, but having a list online does minimize the risk. There's still a chance something could go haywire and everyone loses access to that list.
