Glad I moved away from it a while ago, AniList!

Nah, those of us who are actually old keep our lists on paper, not on this newfangled Internet thing. 😉

What makes it superior to MAL?
tatsuob@ani.social 2 months ago
As far as I know, AniList has better search functionalities and allows korean and chinese manga/animation. While MAL may have larger database of animes. Also they’re owned by a Web3 company now 🫥 at least it’s not an ad company nor US company because they go wild putting data tracking and collection bloating everything all in the name of Data Brokers profits 👻

Hate to break it to you, but it’s not just those companies. Kodansha’s manga app, KManga, has over 2x the trackers that Facebook has. Them mf’ers are greedy

There was a couple of reasons that I switched a few years back but it really boils down to
-So much more customization for scoring. You can do 1-10 (down to the decimal), 1-5, stars or even smiley faces.
-Extremely clean interface that is way less cluttered then MAL
-Better mobile app support in AL-Chan
-More QOL that caters to the seasonal watcher
-More details about a show
Overall I think it does 99% of what MAL does but does it better. My only gripes with anilist at this point is that they don’t show the OPs and EDs like MAL does.
